 Lockport, IL VSG (04/16/12) Member Since: 04/27/05[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 5:40 am Hi All, Manic Monday is here. I just finished doing payroll and now have to get ready to go ino the office for a finance meeting. I have never been a Madonna fan, but I must say she gave a good show last night. I was glad to hear a couple of her oldies. She and I are both 54. She looks amazing! The crowd here yesterday was not impressed with her and I heard a few catty remarks, but I thought she did good. I have my pre-surgery cardiac consult today. He will probably want a stress test.........hmph. Everyone have a great day!!!!!! Sharon |

 Kennewick, WA Member Since: 05/20/04 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 6:00 am Last Edit: 2/6/12 6:01 am Hi Eileen and Friends, As usual up too early, but it's a traveling day and I'm always pumped to hit the road. We drop Maggie off at the kennel at 9am and head to Seattle to our son's for the night. Tomorrow to our daughter's and then early Wednesday heading to the airport and on to Kauai! Booked a Napali Coast Boat Dinner cruise through Captain Andy's Charters. This will be our big splurge. A bit spendy but all reviews say it is well worth it. Also lots of warnngs about sea sickness. A 65 ft catamaran, in and out around scenic areas hugging the rugged coastline. I will take my pills a couple of hours before we go. I can turn green very fast and at that point absolutely nothing would be fun. When we turn back downwind it will be smooth free sailing and a steak/shrimp dinner is served. If I can't eat it I'm sure Erin and Mike will help me! Mike and I went to an early movie and then came home. He watched the game. I made chicken and noodles to take to the kids. We saw George Clooney in "The Descendents". Pretty intense, but I liked it. Not enough action for Mike but it was partially filmed on Kauai which was neat to see. The airport scene looks much like the one on Maui. Quite "open air", lots of beautiful plants. I'll have the laptop and will be checking in with you all. Be kind but firm with yourself. Remember this is a lifetime journey. I am so excited to be getting my exercise hiking, beachcoming and taking long walks on the beach this next week!

 Langhorne, PA Member Since: 06/05/06 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 6:11 am Good Morning Eileen and OFF, I had a nice evening yesterday, even though the Patriots lost. My sister came over, and we watched the game and the Puppy Bowl during half time. Then, after my sister left, a friend from church came by. She sells Thirty-One Bags and Accessories. I am having a demonstration party on the 25th, and she was here giving me an order I had placed, and planning the party. Plus, we got to know one another better. Today, I am waiting for my nurse, who should be here in an hour or so. Then, I am taking a friend who doesn't drive to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription. After that, I have to stop at WalMart for a few things and then home to elevate the leg. I should only be gone about 45 minutes, or so. I try to make my outings short. I hope everyone has a nice day. Hugs, Trish Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man.

Member Since: 10/03/06 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 10:14 am Judy.....You could suggest to your lady that owns the rentals what I do with my rentals. [she would need to do it with a new lease] For example The rent on one place is $1,100.00 But if they pay on or before the 1st of the month....I discount them $100.00. They hav come through blizzards to pay me on time.....I have had them test me and tell me they wre out of town and forgot.....I make an extra $100 that month......just a suggestion.

Member Since: 10/03/06 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/8/12 3:30 am You couldn't do it on the present leases, but you would be able to on new ones. However if she takes a lot of Section 8, that is fixed. It is really a discount for the tenant and that is perfectly legal. It is nice to be back and always love to hea from you.

 Nacogdoches, TX Member Since: 06/30/09 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 1:06 pm Good afternoon my OFF sistas! Same song, second verse. I just finished up with a big noon meal for my boys again. Juan is back again today helping Butch trim up our 12 big oak trees that line our driveway. (Yep, just like 12 Oaks in GWTW. Our own little mini-plantation! LOL!) We are on Day Two of our gluten-free diet. This morning I fixed cheesy grits and poached eggs. I think hubby missed having a piece of toast, but I served some crunchy apple slices with our breakfast and that helped. I didn't miss the toast at all. So, I had quite an adventure at the grocery store this morning. My goodness, everything has wheat in it! I bought several kinds of specialty flours to experiment with. Marti--I looked up that recipe for the hamburger buns, but it has that tapioca starch and potato starch in it. Those are the two very things that Dr. Davis says to avoid as substitutes for wheat flour. It's a little confusing to me still, but I'm trying to get it all learned. One more thing about Wheat Belly and then I'll hush. I do want to recommend this book to all of you. As I read it, I actually think of several of you when he describes symptoms of wheat sensitivity. So many of the complaints that we air here are addressed in this book--low energy, mental fog, joint pain, diarrhea and other tummy upsets, food cravings, food highs and lows, etc. Not to mention belly fat! I think wheat belly may be why I have lost 90 lbs, but still have a 36" waist. I'm interested to see where my weight and my waist are in 4 weeks. Well, I have a date with my messy attic again this afternoon, so I'd better get to it. It sure is easier to clean things out when you have a strong young man to tote it all down the stairs for you! Love you all!  Vickie Laugh when you can, Apologize when you should, and Let Go of what you can't change. Love deeply, Forgive quickly, and Kiss slowly. Help others. Play hard, Take chances, and Always Do Your Best. For Life is too short to be anything but Happy!  |

Member Since: 10/03/06 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/6/12 2:34 pm Good to know Vic....or should I say Melanie...I am very glad to know about the starches that Dr. Davis says to avoid. I have not tried his recipes...but I do give DH his GF bread for toast in the morning....I get it at a local store nearby called "Silly Yak" get it celiac. He says it makes good toast. So there is hope for your DH. Marti ps...you know Madonna had lots of her strong young men to help her out....and now so do you.
