Hey GF
You are always in my prayers....as well as Ron and his folks.  You are all very special friends and I wish you only the best! Extra {{{hugs}}} to Isla...such a sweet woman and such a tuff time to be going thru.

I know your heart is being pulled in several directions but so happy you have the concert tonight to look forward to.  Music and celebrating the holiday will be great diversions and so much fun for you!

Happy 4th to you to My Friends,

I agree Javi,  Great morning post.  I got up and made my Pico de gallo for my snack foods for the party that I am going too.  My thought today is to be vertually no carbs.  My Turkey burger no bun... Pico and 10 chips and some shrimp from the platter.

My best to everyone!

Debbie

Wow Michele! Where is the 'nag' (our very own Rhonda!)  when we need one?? YOU need to update that avatar Miss Little Lady LOL  You look fabulous..I would never have recognized you if I passed you on the street ;-)  You definitely need to update!

And my lordy lordy..what a hunk you are holding on to!

And since you figured out how to post the picture in your posting, PLEASE PLEASE PM the instructions!?  I have tried but just can't figure it out and it's probably really simple, right?

Have a great day Michele!

Thanks for the 'tough love', Darlene. I am following the surgeon's guidelines to a T, in fact the staff has called me "the perfect patient". LOL  I KNOW I will be successful, and that is why I never thought I would care when I stalled!

As far as getting weighed, I can't wait 3 months to get weighed in the doc's office! But I will try to limit myself to once a week at home. :)

Thanks, Darlene for taking the time to write! Happy 4th!

Barb,

I will be saying a lot of prayers for Bert today. I am sorry that he has to go through this, but hopefully it will be the start of getting some relief. I will also say one for you and your family.

I am continuing to hope that you hear something from SFUSD. Have fun tonight. Um, do you say "break a leg" to musicians? lol!  Enjoy your picnic!  You are in my thoughts today, my friend!

Hugs, love, & friendship always,

Good Morning Chris and Cali Friends,

Happy Fourth of July!  

Please say a prayer for Ron's Dad today as they are going in this morning and putting a drain into his kidney where there is a cyst which is the source of an ongoing infection.  Bert is 84 so and weak, so we're nervous to say the least.  I am hopeful that once this ongoing infection is solved that he might be able to regain some strength and at least enjoy life once again.

No word yesterday from the interview, but they were closed.  So I will just see what happens next week.  I will also go to the local jobs bank with a former co-worker who was laid off at the same time I was.  We both can give each other support!

Tonight we will go and have a picnic at College Park High School in Pleasant Hill at 6pm and then I will play in the Pops Band at 7:20p.m. in a free concert.  We play for an hour or two, take a short break and then will play through the fireworks.  I played last year and it was a wonderful experience.  So if you're out and about our way, just look for us and feel free to come sit with us too, OR  you'll see me on stage anyway with my tenor sax!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th of July.  Remember the sunscreen and water and stay away from those illegal fireworks.  Our county bans even the safe and sane ones and has for years due to fire danger.

Hugs to everyone,
Barb

Good morning Chris and everyone!!!

Happy 4th of July to all!!!  Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe day.  I am here in San Jose visiting family and friends.  I even seen a friend that I have not seen in over 25 years...it was so great to see him...when he seen me, first he laughed and said...."you are so tiny" then he said..."WOW, you look fabulous and I think you are smaller then you were when you were 18"  it was soo cool.  I felt great!!!  Here is the picture of the two of us...well, If I post it correctly...by golly I thinked it worked!!!!



Hope you all have a wonderful day and try to stay cool.

Happy 4th of July Everyone and Happy Birthday USA!!
I'm up early watching the Wimbleton women's final between Serena and Venus Williams. They are just awesome to watch.
*Serna just Won!!* Only her 3rd Wimbleton win. Venus has won 5 times! They are just amazing players.
Lon and I rode the scooters out to Skandia last nite to play 2 games of minature golf.  Each time we go I remember the first time...I 'introduced' Lon to the game 11 years ago.  Not only had he not played the game, he wasn't even sure if he knew what the game was!  It was the first time I really understood that Lon hadn't had much 'fun' in his life.  It makes me feel good inside that I have been able to change that ^_^

Today we plan to go out to McClellan Air base to the aviator museum, maybe spend some time down in Old Town and later tonight go play some billards.  I like watching the fireworks but the crowds are a turnoff..so we'll see what we can see from the house.

Hope all have a joyful 4th, stay Safe and Sane and have fun!

Welcome Elvira
Yep, you have definitely found the greatest group of people around...always supportative, encouraging and full of answers ^_^ I'm also from No Calif...Sacramento to be exact; I figure you must be either way north or way east of me to be 4hrs from SF.  If you are closer, I can give you a couple of support meetings that meet here in Sacramento and Elk Grove. Just PM me...I can get the info to you. And again..Welcome!

Whine away Cindy that is what we are here for...you know the good, the bad, and the whinning!!! LOL I am not trying to make light of your situation, but I had the same problems as you did....I was such a slow loser. I hated it. I would bounce around in numbers and then one day when I thought I would never lose again...I would dump like 10-12 pounds. I would be like what the hell?

Any rate....Darlene is right...journal what you eat because I have a sneaking suspecion that you might not be eating enough. It is critical that you try and eat more. I know it sounds crazy, but your body might be in starvation mode....well it is and your body will try and hold on to as much as it can hence not losing weight.

Cindy it is okay to come here and whine really...we are here to support each other in this life long journey....so don't feel bad!!!

Happy 4th to you!

Happy 4th of July to you Chris and all the Cali Crew!!!

It is going to be a real scorcher in the desert today...yesterday it popped 115 in the late afternoon and I surely hated my contacts! LOL

I took Ava swimming last night...well early evening and we had a ball in the pool, but I had to let her dad take over because I cannot stay in the water that long because of the incisions around my girls. Ava is a real water baby and she cracks me up how she dunks herself.

Yesterday I went and saw Public Enemies with my friend...OMG if you are a Johnny Depp fan...go see....he was great as Dillinger!

I am looking forward to today....having a good houseful of people here to bbq and swim and then do the fireworks. I like all the holidays now because I have the granddkids to look forward to so I can see things through their eyes....the innocences and surprise and wonderment in their eyes is a real charge for me!

I hope you all have a great day....be safe like Chris said, drink tha****er for sure....and do all the good stuff for your body today!!!!

Happy 4th and PEACE OUT!!!

I'm totally not trying to sound like a B*tch. But how do you afford your alcohol when you are so in debt? Instead of buying what ever choice of alcohol you buy, put that money in the bank. Alcohol isn't cheap, unless you are brown bagging it with a 40? lol

I truly hope things work out for you. Divorce is tough. And getting into school is the best thing you could do for yourself!
