Geriatric mm warriors (12/30/09)

Beverly, I am addicted to farmville, lol.

I started classes too. Next week in Philosophy the topic is, "is god real." I think the world is conspiring to drive me nuts. Couldn't we start out discussing if... Well is the surgeon general a real person or made up? Something like that.

 

[Wisteria1956]

Nell: Very funny! The discussion might surprise you - could be interesting. I loved the passages in Angels and Demons when he used physics to prove God. I love to give the glory for science to God. Never have had a problem merging the two in my mind. It's such a mind rush when you read something like that. There could be some interesting aspects to your Philosophy discussion, but some of it can drive you nuts.

I just heard from Cyndee on FB and she has lost 40 lbs! MM is working if we work it! Good for Cyndee!

Maybe you should suggest "Is the Easter Bunny real?, or is Santa real?"

Yea for Cyndee.

Beverly: Those are great suggestions for Nell!

Good Afternoon All

Have been to the chiropractor, gotten my H1N1 flu shot while hubby renewed his driver’s license and then went to Costco. A busy morning for me. I am now starting to make my taco meat mixture for salads next week.

Beverly – thanks for missing me!! I haven’t been too far away! Yes, the carbs in salad dressings and condiments can really add up and they are not on the freebie list! Great on the no sodas. I am trying!! I really like caffeine free diet coke!! At least there is no caffeine in it!!

Oh Nell – that discussion will be interesting in your philosophy class!!! I assume these are not on-line classes you are taking but in a classroom??

Beverly – as ususal you “hit the nail on the head” with suggestions for Nell!!

Wow – Cyndee is really doing well isn’t she. Way to go!!

We also just learned of the unexpected death of the husband of a friend of ours. We had not met him, but know her quite well – through bridge. I got a note last night that he had had a pace maker put in and was doing great and this morning we got a note that he collapsed and couldn’t be revived. She is younger than I am, but I think he was a bit older. It was not a nice way to start our day. He was one of the main bridge partner’s of our close friend in high end tournaments – not in our category!

Wow Lisa – do you think I could lose 23 pounds by just giving up my diet soda?? Ahh.... that it were so easy!!

I buy one bag of avacados that are really firm from Costco and put them in the refrigerator about ½ way through the bag I am working on so we almost always have a ready supply of them. I did buy the cartons of avocado pulp in the deli section the other day and froze them. I am going to use one to make my guacamole for the party we are going to on Saturday and see how that works.

I think I’ll try another 1 min muff and use 2 cups! Great idea and then He will think I have made a treat just for Him!! It’s not as if they are starving or anything! We do love them, though

Til’ later……

Jocelyn: I'm so sorry to hear of your friend's sudden passing. I'm sure you will be a big comfort to his wife. How sad.

Beverly: Those are great suggestions for Nell!

I agree!!!

Jocelyn - So sorry to hear about your friend's husband. So sad. Prayers for you and your friend love

 

[Cindycin]

Lost 7 lbs so far and feeling great. Just eating veges and a little protein (cheese) in my salads. This seems to be working for me and I'm feeling great! Getting back started in my exercising next Sunday. Traveling and can't start the "program" and stay on plan until then. I won't have to travel in February so it should work for 2 months for me and I believen Insanity is a 60 day program. We'll see how it works. Tomorrow is my painting day.

Lisa - Hope you are getting back on track and having fun looking for the house for J-P.

Robin - Hope exercising was fun last night! I'm so glad it's the weekend, had an awful day today.

Kathy - sorry to hear about your loss. Sending prayers.

Getting ready to put the boys to bed. Hope everyone has pleasant dreams!

Love ya!

 

[Virginiaponygirl]

Hi All, been somewhat busier at work today, so just getting to check in now...

Kathy and Jocelyn - so sorry to hear of the passing of your friends...will be praying for their friends and family as well as both of you.

Lisa - Im getting more excited about growing the avocado tree than eating the avocado to GET the tree started! LOL, friends here at work said to try putting the avocado slices in my taco salads...I love my taco salad and maybe the taste would be drowned out by the taco spice!

So cool that Sunnee is doing so well...get her to come back and post here, we miss her! I actually heard from Cheryl too, she was trying to find her way back and had lost track of us since we added new threads, so hopefully we will see her back soon!

Hi Bev, Nell, Carol and everyone else...gotta run, off for the evening then back here again for another fun filled 12 hour day tomorrow!! Hope to catch up with y'all then!

Hi Cindy! Great job on the 7 pounds!!

 

[gettinhealthy]

Hi everyone. Thank you for the prayers.

Jocelyn, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I will be saying a prayer for all of you tonight.

Didn't make it to the funeral home tonight. Alyssa (Mike's DD) ended up in the hospital. She is fine. Not getting into details right now. It isn't anything bad, but it irks me just a bit. Sort of a sore spot with me.

To everyone who is losing weight, congrats!!

I am going to read for a bit then off to bed. My good MM week ended up having a bad ending. Had a really bad supper for lack of anything better in a vending machine at the hospital. I had to go there directly from work, so didn't have a chance to even grab anything to tide me over Tomorrow I will be putting some pecans and mozzy sticks in my purse to take with me. Not sure if she's getting out tomorrow or when. I would say Monday at the latest.

Just wondering if they saved that dog that was stuck in the LA river today? I say some of it at the hospital, but not the ending. I sure hope so.

Ok, have a great night everyone. Sweet dreams!!

 

[Wisteria1956]

Robin: Oh, yeah! You can't have a taco salad without avacado. It would be a travesty, lol!

Cindy: Thanks for the well wishes. I'm actually looking for a first time home for another young man who is my client here in town. We have so much competition for the lower end homes - they are snatched up by cash investors. One he wanted today had 24 offers! My new strategy is to find one that's lingering on the market due to condition. He can make some repairs to his taste and perhaps win that way.

Make sure you are eating enough! I'm glad you are losing again. Have safe and fun travels and we will see you soon!

Nell,
Here is a link to something a friend sent me on Facebook. It's about a college professor and his lecture on God. I hope you all enjoy it.

[gettinhealthy]

Hi all. Just a quick hello before I try to clean up a bit before my trip to the hospital.
I have resolve today and I'm going to pack some legal snacks for myself. I don't think yesterday did too much harm. I sure hope not. I need to get this under control. I don't want to stay on step 1 forever, but if I have to, at least I have company with Robin (love you).
Slept like a baby last night. Haven't slept that well in a very long time. It was almost like like an unconscious type of sleep. Woke up around 6 but laid in bed until now, just pondering things in my mind.
Ok, off I go. I'll try to catch up later this afternoon. Hoping to go to work sometime today but hard to say.
Later everyone

Kathy: I hope Mike's daughter is better today. Stay strong; I'm pulling for you!

It worked for me, Carol. Goosebumps! Have you seen The Last Lecture? I'd rather there were more professors like that one. We had J-P watch the whole thing with us.

 

[Seabreezes]

Good Morning Everyone

Off to the gym and errands and then making cheese chips.

We were supposed to have had a rainy weekend, but all I see right now is blue sky!!

Have a safe day.

Kathy - hope your day is not too bad.

Til' later.........

 

[Wisteria1956]

Jocelyn: Enjoy the nice day and getting ready for to entertain your friends! I wish I could taste your snacks! I'll try not to be jealous of your nice weekend. I'm using the morning to clean up my office and write thank you notes.

 

[Seabreezes]

Lisa - hope you got your office cleaned up - I'm sure it was tidy to begin with!!

Has your weather improved?

I had fun shopping at Chico's this morning while I was waiting for the jeweler to change a watch battery!! Bob won't send me on that errand again! Actually I was looking for Williams Sonoma and it has moved so I saw much more of the shopping center than I had planned on. I do like Chico clothes for travel, though.

I guess Robin is working one of her marathon days and must have customers. That is good....

 

[Virginiaponygirl]

LOL Jocelyn - yep, Im working another marathon...supervisor just came by and said since it has slowed down drastically since 6pm, she is going to let me leave an hour early! WHOOHOO!! Doesnt sound that exciting actually, but I am SO tired, getting home at 9 instead of 10 will be huge for me!!

Hope you all are having a nice weekend...we are due for pouring rain all day tomorrow, (my day off) so I may just curl up on the couch with a book and do NOTHING all day! Wow, like that will really happen, but it sure does SOUND good! I am planning to indulge myself with a one minute muffin or two, and if an avocado presents itself, maybe a nice taco salad...yum

I need new soup ideas too...love a nice pot of soup on a rainy day! Bored with the same old same old...I will tell you what...I DO miss making a huge pot of potato cheese soup....I LOVE that stuff...inexpensive, easy and oh so good... but no potatoes for Pony....
