Best/Worse/What did I learn today?? Visit with friends..

Hugs to you all....I start my trip tonight!

Yaaaaay Cookie - have a safe tip and enjoy!

Enjoy Joyce..know you will spend time with Janice tonight, that will be nice..was very kind of her to offer a seat in her car for you..but that's what sistah's do..

Imagine, we get some of the hubbies to join us this year..that really shows that we all become dg family, even our families get involved.

Okay, y'all keep us updated!! ☺

Sending prayers to those who need them and congrats to you, Susan!

Betty ...
Breathe in, breathe out ... LOL

Thanks Suse - much appreciated.

How wonderful that Janice has offered to bring Joyce - you're right Betty, it's what sistahs do! I'm proud to be of this group - you're wonderful, even when I rant and rave (as I'm wont to do.........) :-)

Tallaluh: Excuse me for lurking - but thanks for mentioning myfitnesspal.com. I checked it out and signed up. Thanks for the tip.

no problem at all, Stillwood....... it's a great site for "keeping you on track". I'm already starting to feel there's "bone" under some of this "soft" lol All the more bone to bump when I learn to ride my bike LOL After Stampede I will be getting lessons....... that puts it about mid-July, so will have 2 months of biking under my belt when I have to put it away for the season, so........ well, it's good for me, right?

btw - you can find me on myfitnesspal.com with the screen name of Tallulah_41
My name is Susan

Susan - I need some inspiration to "keep on track". I lost 30 pounds a couple of years ago and then retired in October 2011. 10 pounds came back - not as much walking as on the job and more time to eat. Now I seem to have reached some sort of equilibrium, but need to get that 10 pounds off before it becomes 20, etc. Listing all that I eat is a good thing as it makes me think. Thanks again - I'll keep an eye out for you on the site.

My name is Melanie.

Melanie - I d-mailed you, re: an inspirational chat site I set up - come join us!

Melanie, thanks for joining us..you are more than welcome to do more than 'lurk', great bunch here on the Best/Worse/What did I learn today!! Just watch our Katie, she could get you and us in a whole lot of trouble..lol

I've put on about 30lbs in 5 years, think mine is staying because of the irregular meals..thanks for reminding me that Susan posted that link..might be something some of us can do together.

Have to look up where Franklinton is on the map..

Ahhh found you..lol

No news from Judy/Steve..might try his cel again JUST to I know how my schedule is.

Ann was away for 9 days, just got home last night, exhausted..but not too exhausted to make us a strawberry coffee cake for tomorrow and Sex in a Pan for Saturday..told her not to, she's been so busy but she says it doesn't matter what I think, she is going to do it..lol

So as Susan, I and Melanie talk about better eating habit, losing weight here Ann comes up with a way of fattening me up..know I DON'T have to eat it, but you know I will

Bettypauze - thanks. I know you are really busy as I have also been reading about your many visitors coming for the next few days. No time to worry about what you eat during such an event. There is always (hopefully) next week to "be good". I have to ask - what is Sex in a Pan (edible?).

Franklinton is in North Carolina in the Raleigh area. We actually are out in the county about 5 miles from Franklinton (in the woods). Vegetables coming in now - so no excuse for not eating properly.

My husband and I are coming to Halifax the end of July on a Classic Journeys hiking trip - first time to this side of Canada. Really looking forward to it. Last night we ordered some Canadian dollars to take (as advised by the guide).

lol Sex In A Pan is a cake that's been dubbed- "better than sex!!" soooooooo Sex In A Pan is its name lol

Betty - it's never a good time to diet (don't you just Hate that word, diet? Everyone's on a diet all the time - good, bad, or indifferent........... mine's just mostly been bad lol)
whenever we wrap our head around being on a diet, it's a sure way to Gain Weight! Thing is, to think about eating responsibly for your health's sake, and Not To Diet!

Drats, remember all the trouble I had with my name, making me change it to Bessie Mary Alice, Then if that wasn't bad enought from Pauze (husband deceased-remarried-divorced) to Lapensee, maiden name..well Larry from dealership called..said they could not use my bank acct. that had any other name then Bessie Lapensee so off to the bank I had to go to change my accounts..talk about confusing..all ok now though.

Few years ago was in Halifax, beautiful country..wanted to make Newfoundland but didn't get the change. sounds like something interesting to do Melanie, no wonder you want to be fit..

Better than sex...don't you be telling our Katie

No call from Steve and Judy yet..bet they are enjoying Niagara Falls so much they won't make it to my neck of the woods..nah/wouldn't do that

Betty - you sure are having a time with your name........ really thought that was all settled about a year ago! Comes up to bite you again, drats!

Oh, you're right - shouldn't mention it to katie - she's likely to pull out her magnifying glass and look for the Sex lol

So laughing, yes likely she'd have us do it..lordy it's been a long/long day..just a tad more than an hour left..will sweep along home just to check if they are there, if not I'll run into Midland, save some time!

Betty I can be closer to work and be in the country, so I might look for something out in the country but maybe on 1/2 acre instead of a full acre, or I may just buy a home in a subdivision, I'm not sure yet, first of all need to make sure Dave can get the money to me when we get the decree and not 30-45 days later. LOL on your pond ordeal, I can just see you slipping on in!

I forgot what I read WWAAAAA!!!

Subdivision might be the place for you, that way there would be neighbors around should you need help and they can keep an eye on you..do you think now that he has the job and equity (his half of what belongs to you) that it would be a problem?

Your mom must be livid..what do Daves folks think about all of this?

Welcome Stillwood, my name is Linda, glad to have you here!
