[LMO429]

can some one teach me how to multi quote or just quote something..im so terrible at it and i have been on the dis for a year and a half!

Shannon, good luck on getting everything straight.

Monica, I have done green tea caplets with some success, the Mega-T stuff. I do think it helps with appetite suppression, although could totally be psychosomatic.


So, I made my choice. It is a startup, but is 11K more than I am making now, 7 miles from home, and they took 1.5 hours of their time today to convince me that it is the place for me. My last day at my current job is Aug 29, I am at WDW Aug 30-Sept 7, and start my new job on Sept 8th!!

to quote a single post (like i just did with this one), just hit the "quote" putting in the lower righthand side of the post and then just type what you want underneath all the text.

to multi-quote, just hit the button next to the quote button that has quotation marks and a plus sign (+) on it. hit that for everyone you want to quote, then when you're done just hit "reply" a the bottom of the thread page and it will have all your quotes in your post. anything inside the

brackets will be what the previous person said and anything outside those brackets will be where you type.

CONGRATS!!!!!

by the way, our plans for the september trip have been changed a little. here is what we have now:

9/3 - drive down. we may go to adventurer's club this night because we don't see fitting it in anywhere else and i wanna go! as long as we can leave here by like 1:00 we should be okay. i'll call you on the way down to let you know.

9/4 - epcot day/MK evening

9/5 - DHS day/MNSSHP at MK (weather permitting). if the weather's bad we'll do DHS day/epcot evening

9/6 - AK day/epcot evening

9/7 - MK or epcot day/DHS evening/back to MK for EMH

9/8 - MK through lunch then hit the road!

let me know if we're overlapping at all. i think previously we were overlapping on our DHS day but we changed things so we may not be now. but i'd definitely love to have a drink with you guys at adventurer's club if you can!!!

 

[HockeyKat]

I will consult the schedule and let you know. I cleared off my laptop before I gave notice, just in case they told me to get lost, so I have to go dig it up!

We are at BWV so any of the days that you are in Epcot or DHS we should be able at least meet up and say Hi.

i weighed this morning and my scale said 137!!! and i have no idea why. i've been doing great on the diet and

Ok! You're fine. I am up and down all week by as many as 2-4 pounds (or more)!
Watch your sodium and maybe add some lemon or apple cider vinegar?
Knowing your period's coming, you can adjust your nutrition to at least maintain.

Though I'm very thankful I no longer have to deal with periods, I still have ovaries and every bit of the PMS symptoms I used to (except cramps, thank you Lord!) but I notice adding lemon or lime to my water really seems to help with water retention and bloat.

Oh blast, everything I eat is low-fat . . . maybe that's why the scales won't shift!!!!!

I know the frustration! Truly, there may be some truth tho the cleaner eating thing.

I can't get over your cute name! My cell phone ring tone used to be Rumbly in my Tumbly.

it's true! there's a difference between natural foods that are good for you and diet foods. i admit i eat some diet foods but i try to eat more of the natural stuff. for example when i stopped drinking diet soda, which i had done for years, and switched to 99% water, the weight started dropping off. it's like your body doesn't know what to do with all that diet "stuff."

I think some diet-y foods are just plain yucky. One biggie I've embraced lately is Stevia as a sweetener instead of Nutra Sweet/ Equal. There's a teenie tiny Barbie sized spoon in it to sweeten my coffee or green tea.

shoot me shoot me now.

Today was day #1 - teacher workdays. I am the part time speech therapist at one school and full time at another. Today I went to my part time placement. I know that they really need me and want me there more than I technically can because I am obligated to this other school, which I am going to tomorrow. But it is so frustrating getting schedules down and when I can see this school, when I can see that school...and they both want me all the time. And as much as it would be fun to split myself in two and send me to both schools at the same time, I don't think science has figured that one out yet. And the paperwork and the fact that my classroom is completely filled with old reading books so I can't even get to my computer, bulletin boards, or phone. I know that a month from now, it should be pretty well taken care of and I'll have a routine but right now it seems impossible. Send pixie dust my way please - I am STRESSED OUT!

Prayers and Pixie Dust to ya!

Woo hoo! More Disney money$$$!
OK, I started writing this, and my friend came to pick me up to go to Buca di Beppo. I did the best I could, but still ate more than I would at home. Here's what I was writing before I was called away.

to quote a single post (like i just did with this one), just hit the "quote" putting in the lower righthand side of the post and then just type what you want underneath all the text.

to multi-quote, just hit the button next to the quote button that has quotation marks and a plus sign (+) on it. hit that for everyone you want to quote, then when you're done just hit "reply" a the bottom of the thread page and it will have all your quotes in your post. anything inside the QUOTE brackets will be what the previous person said and anything outside those brackets will be where you type.

Also, if you want to just quote part of what a person says, make sure you leave the things between the [], for instance, on this one it says QUOTE=punkin413 and then a bunch of numbers. I left that, then deleted the part of the writing I didn't want to quote, then made sure the end quote, the part that has [] with "/quote" in it, is still there.

Have a skinny day, everyone.

what am i doing wrong? why does what i write show up in what i quoted

 

[monymony3471]

shoot me shoot me now.

Puppy dogs, fluffy clouds, and beautiful castles! That's what DH had to say to DD1 everynight before bed. Hope it helps you too.

DOH! I lost all my other quotes!

LMO, take a deep breath. After you choose who you want to quote, press your quote buttons and then hit reply, one or several boxes of quotes will appear depending on how many people you chose to reply to.

Each individual quote will start and end with brackets to seperate each person you are quoting.

I like to reply to a person at the end of their quote, so I find the bracket the follows the word

and put my cursor there, then I hit enter once to start typing my response below it.

If there is extra talk I'm not addressing I do try to highlight it and delete it, so it doesn't take extra space on the boards.

Hope this helps.


GREEN TEA:

This is some of the stuff I found out.

If you drink coffee in the morning, which I do, they say that something in it does something to your blood sugar that prevents or makes it hard to lose weight. Green tea has the opposite effect. Still giving you caffeiene.

There were some 500 different studies done all over the world.
To some some of those up: If you drink/take capsules of green tea, black tea, or oolong tea:

To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:

cancer
rheumatoid arthritis
high cholesterol levels
cariovascular disease
infection
impaired immune function
What makes green tea so special?
The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.

There are negatives out there, like not sleeping good from the caffeiene and I did read that if you are allergic to plants, this might be a concern, or if you have kidney disease you shouldn't take it. Darn! I was hoping to put Tim on this.


I went to the walking track again yesterday and did another 13 laps.

I wish the scale would move. It's killing me to see it on the same number everyday. AND I am not meant to weight this amount. NO WAY! I have a BMI in the low 30's. I have some work ahead of me. I know it will start to move again, the wait is just frustrating.

I go to the OB today for a follow up proceedure and to get my test results from the thyroid blood draw I had done. At this point I want it to be my thryroid so something can be done finally to make me better.

Have a skinny day! Eat lots of fiber today!

 

[LMO429]

thank you everybody for trying to help me with the quoting I dont know why i cant understand it im pretty computer savy

this morning I did Barry's Butt and Legg plus their cardio for another full hour of working out..OMG!! it was so hard I wanted to quit so many times..but I got through it!

 

[Sparkie]

I know you guys are going to think I'm crazy but my mom got one of those "pin" codes in the mail and mickey was missing me- so me and mom are going to go down in October. Maybe this will make up for her not going in July. Only going 4 days. Basic ticket. Now to the important part..... the food.....

PUNKIN!!???!!!

I have resssie at Kona(dinner), Chef de France(dinner), Grand Floridian Cafe(dinner) ...... I need one more and opinions on GFC.


Thought about Flying Fish, Narcoosse, or Artist Point as a treat. The day available is my AK day. The park has EMH until 9pm but I doubt we would stay that long but a nice late dinner would be good. I tenatively booked Rainforest Cafe but I didnt like it too much when we went there a few years back and Jiko and Boma dont appeal to me.


So what do ya'll think?


Oh, and Punkin remember when you had friends who went to the world without adrs and you tried to tell them.... well i have 2 co-workers going down during free dining and they have made 3 adrs for their week long trip and plan on walking up with their kids in tow for the remainder of their meals I know the horror!!!! I keep telling them, make a reservation for something- but no, they are going to wing it. Oh, well, I tried to tell them.

I feel your anxiety. When I was a school nurse i started out responsible for 1 elementary school that had a special needs population of severely physically handicapped kids then due to budget the next year I was assigned that school and 2 more making me the only nurse responsible for 1500 students and training the staff at the schools to care for the children and dispense medications when I was "off location" Each school has their own culture/climate/community whatever you want to call it and I didnt feel like I belonged to anybody. I felt like I was always a visitor and never at home- at least with the staff anyway. What made it all worthwhile was the KIDS. They knew what day I was supposed to be where and they would wait with whatever ailment or story they needed to share until I was at their school. And dont let me be absent..... I got the 5th degree..... Once you get into your schools and get to know your kids and that one special one, the one that really NEEDS you, maybe not even for speech purposes, but the one that really needs you, when you walk through the doors and are greeted with HUGS and SMILES- the paperwork wont look so bad.



PS.... Dont do what a speach therapist did to me.... she sent me a child who was sick but had some language problem where she only processed and was able to speak about 10 of the letters of the alaphabet and she made words from the letters that her brain knew..... well, her therapist and her teachers could understand her but her nurse could not.... I would so have appreciated a note explaining what the child needed.

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Hello EVERYONE!!!!!


Does anyone drink Green Tea? What kind and why? I'm thinking of switching from coffee to green tea. I've read that it can really help with weight loss. But I don't know what kind to buy.

I have actually started drinking green tea this week, as I heard it is supposed to boost metabolism, so Friday will tell if its worked (I have a wedding to go to, and as of last weekend SO did not fit into the dress I plan on wearing!!!)!! Its an "acquired" taste to be honest, but I am getting more used to it now! I just get the Twinings one (Think you have Twinings in the US - I know I was served it at 1900 Park Fare!).

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Hello EVERYONE!!!!!

I can't get over your cute name! My cell phone ring tone used to be Rumbly in my Tumbly.

Can't get my multi-quote to work now!!

Thank you so much!!!! I love Pooh, such a cheerful contented little fella!

Have just taken your advice and sent DH to get some lemons for me to add to my water - bloating be gone!!!

 

[honeymo78]

i used to watch those but i don't anymore since i started doing more court work. once you see how it really works those shows start to get aggravating. i saw a CSI once where the jury was asking the witness questions. that's DOES NOT happen in real life......ever! it's the responsibility of the prosecutor to put up the evidence and the jury is not allowed to gain any more information than what's presented to them. anyway, that's beside the point. i just can't watch those shows anymore, even though at one time i really enjoyed them.

I'm with you on this - I can't watch any of the legal shows like Law and Order anymore. The crime ones are fine for me, like CSI and NCIS - all the investigative stuff.

Oh and technically there is a situation where the jury can ask questions - I believe in the case of a grand jury

-The grand jury hears only cases brought to it by the prosecutor. The prosecutor decides which witnesses to call. The prosecutor decides which witnesses will receive immunity. The basic questioning is done by the prosecutor on a theory he or she articulates. The grand jury members are generally permitted to ask questions at the end of a witness's testimony. The prosecutor generally decides if he or she has enough evidence to seek an indictment. Occasionally the grand jurors may be asked whether they would like to hear any additional witnesses, but since their job is only to judge what the prosecutor has produced, they rarely ask to do so.- (from the ABA website)

But I completely understand how the TV shows and movies give a completely different picture of what happens in law enforcement and the legal world.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

thank you everybody for trying to help me with the quoting I dont know why i cant understand it im pretty computer savy

It took me almost a year to learn how to quote, and even now I can 'forget' how to do it!

I know you guys are going to think I'm crazy but my mom got one of those "pin" codes in the mail and mickey was missing me- so me and mom are going to go down in October. Maybe this will make up for her not going in July.

Congrats on the Disney trip!

Twinings is the one I drink too, and Clipper isnt too bad either! You're right about it being an aquired taste!

congrats on the trip! you will LOVE kona, if you've never been. we do. i don't know anything about the GFC. i have been to narcoosee's twice and it was fabulous both times, but remember it's 2 TS credits. raglan road might also be fun if you're looking for something later because they have live music - just depends on what you're into.

by the way, my sister sent your photopass CD out the other day - let me know if you don't have it by the end of the week!

i had to type a grand jury transcript once. it was crazy because i didn't know who was speaking when the grand jurors would ask a question. they don't identify themselves and there's no court reporter there - i was just doing it off a tape. there's no defendant or judge during the grand jury indictments, either. it's considered a very private thing, at least where i'm from. but anyway, what i saw on CSI was a regular jury trial and the jury was asking questions of the witnesses. it was just so ludicrous!
