It was cool and a ton of people where there. It used to be a grain processing place. The city wants to develope the area with a park and other stuff.

Awwww, Bill!

just joking a little - she was happy it got moved - i am banking on her forgetting the room a weekend

Uh Oh Bill sounds like a big project ahead. I like your wife's kind of thinking!

Congrats to your son Victor!

Congrats for your son's win, Victor


Don't ya just LOVE a good massage

Thanks, all.

I LOVE massages. A good masseur/masseuse is like gold. With my lower back problems, I could go for one every day.

I have trouble finding someone who gives a hard enough massage.

me too debi

The first time I went to this masseuse, I hurt (good) for 3 days. Today I'm sore some, so I think she toned it down a little. She really worked out some knots. I could hear/feel all kinds of popping noises. I only did a half hour and it went by too quickly.

We have become a very spoiled country.

Yes, I hate wimpy massages.

I don't like massages. :(

The last one I had, she was pressing so hard I couldn't breathe and she asked me a question I couldn't answer her...WORST massage I ever had

Anyone heard from Weeze? Venu209

My witchazel is starting to bloom.Pix were awful,macro isnt the greatest.Take my word for it.

Congrats to Little Victor......hope he's enjoying the sport.....Jumper, that looked like fun! Jo, what color is your witch hazel?

Thanks - he is.

I think Weeze has some family stuff going on.

I had a 'deep tissue' massage when we went away last spring. Hated it. She dug her elbows into me so deeply. Never felt any loosening or relaxing of muscles. It was as if she was trying to massage my internal organs and skeleton. I hurt for about three days afterward.

Saw the holiday train show at the NYBG today. Great, as usual. Will post pics.

Thanks.....would love to see it in person some day....

Yikes...my GD Sophie was diagnosed with "Scarlet Fever" haven't heard anyone having that for quite some time. She started out with what we thought was the stomach bug. My DIL saw a rash last night that was worse this morning. Got her to the docs right away and they started antibiotics. Very contagious so I guess her sister will be next ):

It's from strep throat.....had it when I was a child.....

I texted Weeze today.. let you know if I hear back from her

Hooray for little Victor!
Hope Sophie is well soon! Scarey!
Very cool, Lucy!
Good for you, Bill! Lucky Cindy to have you! (see, I can be serious too once in awhile!)
Gotta stop now...

Yes, you've used up your quota of exclamation marks, Louise! ^_^

One of my son's teammates was slammed down at yesterday's match. His wrist swelled up immediately. I was convinced it was fractured. Sure enough - fractured radius. Poor kid. Cannot write. Wife was not happy to hear this.

:(

It is a contact sport! Louise, you & I write the way we speak.....have to have lots of exclamation marks.....must be the teacher in us......son Garret has been called in for 4 subbing days this week.....he's getting the Baptism by Fire.....haven't heard him say he loves it, but haven't heard him say he hates it....not sure this is the career for him....I feel his wife is pushing him in that direction.......wish Doug was around to advise him....Garret listened more to his Dad.....

that 1 extra m&m pushed me over the edge, now I have heartburn...NUTS

There ought to be a coach's meeting on how to deal with swlamming. Too much watching pro wrestling, which is fake for younger kids. Instruction needed.

Today's opposing coach was a lunatic! Screaming like a drill sergeant. He would get within a few feet of the kids. I already emailed a complaint. Ludicrous. Nice example for the kids.

Ronnie, I hope Sophie will get better soon. Sounds serious.

Victor, that's too bad about your son's teammate. What a bummer.

I lost 4.4 lbs. this week on Weight Watchers. I'm so thrilled! I thought maybe I'd lost 1 or 2 lbs. This is awesome! Very empowering. I feel like I can do this. It's not easy, but I'm feeling good about it.

Karen

YAY you go Karen!!!!

Way to go, Karen! Set your mind to it and you can do anything. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Victor. My short term goals for now are to lose 15-20 lbs. by the end of March, and another 15-20 lbs. by July. I want to have more energy for my gardening, and anything else I want to do.

Karen

Yes, losing weight is a challenge...I get good results cutting back on carbs, and eating 4-5 bites of green stuff.

I keep a jar of all-natural peanut butter (no sugar is added) in the fridge, and smear a spoon of it on anything neutral, and the peanut butter somehow defeats the munchies/cravings.

(Plus, the huge glass of water consumed with the peanut butter is a good thing!)

good for you Karen!!!.. just have to remember in a few weeks when you only loose a half a pound or nothing not to get discouraged... it happens to everyone... then the week after that you will loose a few again.. the first month of a diet is always rewarding though!!!

Karen, you are an inspiration! I'm trying to lose weight too. I'm trying to exercise more. Forget what it does for the metabolism, i just make better food choices when i exercise.

good for you karen

Yay, Karen! I know what you mean about energy for gardening...that's important! BA, you're right about the peanut butter....I buy Teddie's which has no sugar...just ground peanuts....and that stops the cravings. Unless I buy potato chips & have them in the house!

Potato chips !!! Oh-mi-gosh !!! My ruination!

An A-list actress who lost a lot of weight said to reach for dill pickle chips in the fridge...they may be high in sodium, but virtually zero in calories.
