WEDNESDAY WHATS HAPPENING
Hey Kathleen that is exactly why I stopped posting on here too, because I had several events that were serious to me and nobody but Jan responded, so I thought for all the times I prayed and posted for folks on here to not get any responses except from Jan only what's the point in posting here. But Jan is a sweetheart for real (not just saying that). So I lurk now too because even if no one responds some good info is exchanged. and being a post op info is important. I'm still wondering what happened to SweetHoney30?

I realized that I have read so many posts from people who post often that I felt like I knew them but since I don't post often they didn't know me. I think some of the responses were defensive but out of a feeling of protectiveness . I hope that you don't really feel that this board feels sorry for itself. I think there is a great deal of information , support and tons of prayers shared on this board.
I personally have only gone to one support meeting so far and am pre-op so I don't have a lot of experience yet to respond to others posts.
I hope that once everyone settles down and prays and thinks this over we will all see this as an opportunity for us to become a larger more closely knit family.
I will be happy to reach out...who else?

Hey hey ya'll 
Well it's another cold but beautiful day out in Missouri. The brother-in-law and his family got their power back last night so they are back home and things here are beginning to get back to normal finally. It's been a long week since the ice storm hit. I sure hope that kind of storm doesnt happen again for a long long time. We are tho gonna get better prepared just incase. We are totally electric here so we are gonna try to find a propane or kerosen heater to get us through if this ever happens again, plus we can use it for camping. We're also gonna buy a few camping things, lantern, lil stove etc. This way we will be more prepared next time, plus we used to go camping years ago and really miss it, we have a nice tent that we have not used in years.
Jan I havnt done near as much walking this week, Im gonna get back into it today. With the ice then it being freezing cold a day or two and having a housefull I've kinda been lax at walking but my drinking water and protein have been good. Im up to getting 64oz of water in a day now and all my protein shakes. I havnt weighed any more yet, hopefully I can weigh tomorrow. I have noticed that my sugar is up a bit for the last 2 days. I dunno why, for 2 days in a row I had a few mashed taters, that might of done it and last night I had a few refried beans. So now Im gonna have to watch very carefully how many carbs I take in, Im sure the carbs in the taters and beans ran my sugar up some, plus I havnt walked in a few days, I know when I walk my sugar lowers, even if its like 110, after I walk it goes below 100 so as soon as I post this I'm off to walk.
Deb M. thanks for the warm welcome back, my wife and I both really missed reading and posting, she asks me all the time how everyone is and is always wanting to be updated on stuff lol I think you should keep the name Wyno for your bird LOL Thats just to unique lol. We had a SunConure Parrot a year ago or so and his name was Coco lol. He was a LOUD talker lol but he was my boy, when his cage was open he wouldnt let me leave his site. He lived on my shoulders most the day if i'd let him lol. But we had to give him away cuz of the apt we lived in the owners heard him every time they'd come down to the office, we lived next to the office, they would complain that people wanting to check the apts out would hear him and that would discourage them from renting there thinking the place was loud, ugh. We miss him terribly and wish we could get him back now that we are out in the country. At that time it was either give him away or have our rent raised 100 bucks, we were pretty much on a strict budget, still are but anyway. Hopefully soon I can surprise my wife with another parrot, they are expensive to buy but so worth it.
Kathleen you say "Everyone on here only converse with just the people that you see at your support meeting." That's totally not true. I for one have NEVER been to a support meeting but yet I converse with all on here. I know at least half of the people here dont go to support meetings. I dont go cuz there isnt one close to me, like you i'd have to drive 4 hours, thats the case for alot of people here. I'd just have to say Kathleen look at the times you thought you were ignored and see what was going on the board at that time. Maybe someone was having a hard time or bad day, maybe it was when Mariyln passed on. Sometimes we all tend to focus on a certain person because they are going though a bad time. I know I am guilty sometimes of getting caught up on my own problems and not taking others in consideration, im sure thats happened to all of us. If thats the case I'll be the first to appolgize for ignoring you. This board and I know these people on here dont ever intend to make anyone feel that way. If someone on this board DOES want to make people feel ignored or such then I for one dont think they should be on here. We are ONE big family and this family has gotten me through some tough times. All families have squabbles but most the time those squabbles can be worked out and we all move on. Kathleen I just ask that you give the board a chance to correct the situation and we ALL move on together. Again, I appologize if I've ever overlooked or ignored a post of yours, it truely wasnt intentional. Give us a chance, you might be surprised at the results.
Well I've rattled on enough here lol I gotta get my booty up and walk walk walk. Stay warm ya'll.
God Bless ya's.
Love and Prayers to all,
Andrew

Andrew it is probably the mashed potatoes. try mashed sweet potatoes instead. dont have near as many carbs the white potatoes are sort of like white bread. simple carbs that turn to sugar. try cottage cheese.yogurt.oatmeal, lots of good things that dont have the simple carbs in them.
Melissa is still not doing well i dont think even tho she is still home. We are all really worried about her. I dont know what happened to Alan ...Claudette mentioned it. Jan
Hi, I lurk also, and from my view point no one is ignoring anyone, I don't get on much but always read every day. From what I see, all answer posts the and all share.
Very well behaved and kin group!

Always enjoy the people here!!
