Its 20 minutes to Midnight. Ill start the Saturday Coffee Talk!!!!!!!
Good Morning Carla, Jacki & the rest of you OFFr's,
Can't believe I have not had the time to get on here all week, but, life sure can be busy and mine is that. Work is soooo darn busy that I come home and the thought of sitting at a computer on those nights I'm not at a meeting or some such other activity (other than to play Bejeweled Blitz just before bed, which I am addicted to (lol)), is not something I've been wanting to do much of.
But today I had to come and say hi to you all and let you know that I was thinking about you and hoping that each and everyone of you are doing well, for Susan, my heart breaks, as I saw her post on Facebook. My big fear about leaving town is approaching, as in less than two weeks I am going to be enjoying the company of a bunch of folks and when I made those plans I really did not think Dillinger would still be here, so I am truly hoping that Dillinger will be ok while I am gone, that is if he is still with me is amazing and I recognize that each day is a precious gift, and while I just don't know when it will be time, I am hoping I don't get a call while I am out of town. Ok, enough about all that. . .
So for any newbies out there, you've come to a place that becomes a family over the course of time, the support here is awesome and the journey you've undertaken is also awesome!
Well for today, seeing as the weather is grey, rainy and supposed to be this way pretty much all of today, will be a day for cleaning house, dying my hair and if I'm lucky seeing my grandbabies, who I have not hardly seen all summer because their parents are busy and weekends have been spent at the shore, so I'm hoping with this weather they are home and I can go and play with them for a bit. Anyway, I'm off to clean house now and just wanted to drop by and say hey!
Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good Morning, All
It's good to see you this morning. I know I've been MIA for a while, but I decided to catch up for a bit this morning.
I got back from Memphis on Monday from a family wedding and an opportunity to see my kids and my grandson for a little visit. It was good to see everyone, but I'm tired from the traveling and all the people. I'm so used to being alone that I forget about the noise, and the busyness, and the drama that can unfold. It was good to get home. I missed my kitties.
This week coming up is the last week at my current job. When I get home from my next trip, I'll be going directly to my new job. I'm not nervous, actually looking forward to it. It'll be much the same as I do now, but a different shift and different people, which is a good thing for me right now. My retirement plans are on hold, as I couldn't seem to make up my mind about a lot of things. I can still retire next April, but may want to wait a few more years to avoid the early retirement penalty. I'll take it as it comes. My "retirement trip" will still happen in the winter of 2011, but I may come home and go back to work afterwards. Stranger things have happened, I guess.
It's pouring here this morning (big surprise!), and I have a shopping trip planned with my two step-daughters. Not, unfortunately, to a mall. No, we plan to hit a half dozen thrift and resale shops for school clothes and baby items. I hope they bring raincoats. I keep telling myself I don't need anything. I still have three pair of scrub pants and two pair of jeans to shorten from my last shopping binge. I hate that job, and delay it as long as possible, but will need the jeans especially, as winter is definitely on the way.
I've been trying to read postings every day, but it's been crazy here. I did read about Susan's Old Dog, and I'm so sorry. I can only imagine what it's like to lose a beloved pet after all those years.
Gotta go find a rain slicker. "Chat" with you all soon again, I hope.

Well, more of the same today. Most everything is ready to go now. some stuff needs to be thrown out, but everything is in boxes (almost) and ready to go into the truck and up north.
I'm sort of cranky this morning. hubby said we're having people overtonight and all we have left to sit on are kitchen chairs and a loveseat. This place is a wreck. Tomorrow I have to vacuum the floors and mop them. The pictures aren't coming off the walls until after the final walk through on Monday, because I don't know if the wall paint has faded or not and I don't want to make it obvious if it has. yesterday I got a call from my realtor saying that a home equity line that we had in the 90's was never released from our title. I had to run to the CU and try to get that straightened out. They told me it would be handled by Monday. I hope they follow through. The loan was paid off in 1996 I think, but our paperwork is in our file cabinet which has been moved to Interlochen already. The CU just neglected to send the release of lein to the county properly. They'd better not screw up our closing on Wednesday or they're going to have one angry person in their office. I sound scarey don't I? All talk...
I'm watching the food channel this morning and they're all either doing Mexican or Italian. The pasta looks soooo good. I'm afraid to try it yet. I'm really afraid that I'm going to be able to eat everything that I used to be able to eat and I'll get out of control. That's my worst fear, that I won't work with the tool I've gotten.
Ciao ladies, and gents.

Jani, just a word of caution......stay away from pasta! I'm two years out and still can't eat it -- rice either.....it really gums up in the pouch.
I've even tried the whole wheat pasta and it does the same thing.
There are so many other foods we can eat that are so much better for us -- concentrate on them and you'll do fine. I do eat bread, but only the whole grain kind with lots of fibre and I toast it first.
Sorry about the mix up on your home equity line.....the CU really messed up on that. I discharge mortgages and HE's at the bank, so I know all about that "stuff".
Maybe you'll have nice weather this evening and can sit outside, unless you've moved your outdoor furniture up north too!!!
It's supposed to rain here some more today. I've gotten my monthly shopping done and put away, so I feel really proud of myself. I even picked a basketful of ripe tomatoes this morning.....probably going to have to process them for the freezer the first of the week.
Did you dietician from your surgeon's office give you a list of foods you can eat???? Best to follow that if possible.....if you don't have a list, I'll be glad to share mine with you. Sorry, that's the support group leader coming out in me!
Have a good weekend all,
Pat R.

Hi!
i had the same thing happen to me when I sold my house in Dec. The bank never sent the paperwork to the town. I did have a copy of my statement and the letter I got from the bank to prove it was paid and closed but believe it or not the title company would not accept it....it had to be cleared from the town records. SOooooooooo as I sat at closing we decided to hold $1,000 from my proceeds in my lawyers escrow account. It took about 5 weeks for the whole thing to get cleared up but it did get cleared up. So worse case you might have to do something like that just to close the deal.
Good Luck!!
