Geriatric MM Warriors!

[Wisteria1956]

I love the idea of Christmas cards too! my only concern is posting our home addresses on a public site. Any ideas for a more private address book?

We can PM and/or FB person-to-person messages.

That's a lot of PMing and I'm not sure all of us are on FB. I wonder if we could get a volunteer to be Geriatric MM Secretary. We could all PM one person who could then send the address book out to everyone by email?? Any volunteers?

That's kind of what I meant - batch them. But we'd still have to have one person have everyone's email sent to them somehow. Thanks for the clarification, Barb.

Her name is "tobamelia" and she only has 1 post. I think she must have been a lurker. That is what happens when you just lurk....no one gets to know you and you get left behind. Actually, I am sorry that people got left behind. I have looked at the new forum (Diane's) a few times and really don't like the format. You have to look at each new thread to find out what is going on. And, if you will remember, I hate feeling like I am missing out on something! No one (except Daisey) is posting at LCF.

I hope Carol/Fishinpot comes over.

My dinner is ready! I put pork tenderloin in the crock pot. I put some spicy spices on it and a can of green salsa. I was thinking of pork burritos... I think it might have turned out a little too spicy for DH? I think a big glob of sour cream in his burrito will do the trick...

I MISS YOU LADIES SO MUCH!!!! I haven't been able to come out and play in a couple days. I did my 2 day detox and feel like I'm back on track.

I can't live without my MM and all of you and wanted to check in today. Work has me running crazy and at night thekids wanna play games so I haven't been able to come out and play here.

Kate - I'm making the tenderloin you cooked, without the spicy spices. Hopefully everyone will love it.

Pony - I'm so glad you are in love!!! I am smitten with my man too. He makes me smile every time my cell rings. It only gets better girl! You got me crock-pottin too!

Lisa - You teach me something new every day.

Barb - I wanna be in on the christmas cards..I love sending them!

Kathy - I've been praying for you this week!

Jocelyn - You have no idea how badly I wanna visit you in Hawaii!

Nell - My boys are going to be Batman and Spiderman! We're giving out spongebob gummy fruit chews.

Hi Natalie - hope you are having a nice day.

Hope I didn't forget anyone. If I did...I miss you too!!!!

 

[Wisteria1956]

Sherry is coming over! She misses us.

 

[Wisteria1956]

Cindy: I was just missing you so much this morning! So glad you are detoxed and back! LOL! Sounds like you have been to rehab! I'm painting outside while it's nice and before I meet new clients this afternoon so I'll catch up with you soon!
Here we are:I thought they looked like M & M's.

OK, sharing this with all of you. I'm thinking we should invite her, but I wanted the group to decide. Here's a quote:

tobamelia from Metabolism Miracle Friends has sent you a message. You can reply to tobamelia by replying to this e-mail.

The message reads as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am an old lurker from the LCF board. I was with you from the beginning, I just didn't post. I got so much enjoyment and support from you guys and I am heart sick about this new message board. The damage has been done, they can remove the ugly headache causing colors and try and control the conversation in more palatable ways but it will never be the same. I understand Diane wants to sell a million books and get on Oprah and I do not begrudge that but I do not believe she isn't going to monitor this site just like she monitored the LCF site. I just think that maybe some of us are focused more on getting well than on promoting her book (which I love by the way) I just think she has a different agenda than I do (thus this stupid site).

Where are you and how can we get the old gang back together (at least those who enjoyed a laugh and sharing uplifting and heartful exchanges)? Please let me know how you are doing.

Thanks for all the help early in my journey. You will never know how much you are appreciated.

Is anyone drinking benefiber? I am a little backed up and have one a day but nothing is happening. I don't think I'm getting enough fiber.

Do you not like spicy? I noticed you said no spicy on the pork. Salsa on your vegetables or taco salad really works in my opinion. I really suffered on Aitkens and almost never on MM. Also, I think nuts do help.

Hi Pony. You didn't mention Mom was living with you. I'm glad in a lot of ways it's a good thing, and not too stressful. I love that you talk about Ken, I get so happy for you! Let me know if my teasing bothers you.

Barb, we can use a loop to exchange addresses, like the yahoo group worked, but not in a public forum. Someone collects all the email addresses and makes a group email to everyone. Then people respond by hitting "reply all" instead of the normal reply. I'd be happy to collect email addresses for people who want to exchange personal info. Just email me at ContentedSoulDW@aol.com

Hey, Beverly. Let us know about the First article when you have time. I have purchased several pairs of prescription sunglasses on-line using the prescription I got from my doctor. I need glasses for driving and I like to have at least one extra pair in case I lose one (who me? ). Anyway, they were very inexpensive and work fine. I asked my doctor and she said it was okay as long as I get my eyes checked periodically to make sure that my prescription hasn't changed. To find a website for the sunglasses, I googled "cheap prescription glasses" and got LOTS of hits.

Wow, I didn't even realize there were online glasses sites. I'm terrible with glasses, like a kid. I get heavy frames and real glass and still need a new pair all the time, lol.

Pony: Thanks for the tips on the turkey. Yum! I can’t wait. I’m going to go lift it out for tomorrow. Tom’s in charge of dinner tonight. I bet you anything he wants to meet me near my office. I work near the big new mall so it’s easy to find food anyway. Don’t you even try to talk to me about my shoes! I am a smart shopper, but I am also a sucker for cute shoes. I do have to dress up for work, so there’s my excuse and I have a very tall husband, so I can wear whatever I want.

I’m glad you’re in love, Robin! It’s very cute. Ken sounds very romantic.

I love the Christmas card idea! I already have ours made from a photo we took on vacation at the beach with our son and the dog.

You guys remember Sherry with the cattle dog? She PM’d me – misses us and is miserable over there so I swore her to secrecy and told her to email me. We’ll see.

Seabreezes: I am a flip flop nut! When I go to Hawaii, I have to bring at least 4 different colors.

Kate: Your dinner sounds fantastic! Can you teach the dog to pick up the shoes?

Lisa, I agree with others. I think you need a couple of pairs of shoes that fit nicely!

Good afternoon everyone!!

I missed you all yesterday, had to force myself to not come read all your posts! I got on earlier and managed to get caught up, you guys made me so hungry talking about all your foods, I had to go eat before I started to post! This time Step I is starving me half to death! I'm constantly hungry, is this happening to any of you all?

I went yesterday to get my and my DD passports at the post office. $230 for both of them!! I had no idea, someone should have warned me! lol It was almost worth it seeing my new skinny face in the photo though.

I did get bunches done between yesterday and this morning. Mowed all five acres, raked leaves, flowers pulled out, perinneals trimmed, grill put away, house and porch power washed, windows washed. I'm all set for winter, bring it! Now I get to be all like this!

I went over to check on Tobamelia and you're right, she is looking for the group, it appears that she didn't post until she lost everyone.. she says.... "I am on week 8 of step 2. I have lost a couple of sizes and 28 lbs. I feel better and look better. I have been a follower on the LCF site since the beginning. I enjoyed following everyone over LCF and got a lot of support and recipes and chuckles. I don't want to pick a topic, I want to follow everyone."
"Can anyone tell me how to get hold of Lisa, Nell, Pony, Natalie etc. I miss the old fun and I have grown rather fond of the old gang."
..........I agree that lurkers lose out..what do you all think about this?

I'm a confessed shoe'holic as well. And you know, with all the new things I've bought lately...well, umm they just had to have new shoes to match!

lol Barb! The only shoes I'm tripping over are my DH's, the man's work boots are dropped wherever he happens be sitting, which is always directly in my path!
We've lived here for 20 years and not once have we had goblins visit. I always go into my parents, put on an ugly old man costume (I look like a stuffed dummy), sit in a rocker on the front porch and terrorize the trick or treaters. lmao I know some of you are going to think that's horrible, but it is sooo much fun! Yesss, I leave the little ones alone! lol

I'd not ever heard of First magazing before you guys talked about it, what am I missing out on?

I want to send Christmas cards!!

I found Sulley!! "Boo!" "Kitty!" This is my all time favorite animated movie! Have you all seen it? New siggy time!

Cindy it's great to see you! I know your busy but we miss you when you don't come by!

I vote we all e-mail our mailing addresses to Nell and then she can send back a whole list for each of us! Nell, as long as you dont mind? I will be happy to send you all the e-mail addresses I already have...I have MOSt of us but maybe not all...

Thats a nice e-mail from our lurker, but who is it? do we know? Did you write her back? I dont agree that Diane started the new forum as an agenda to sell her book though...she was responding to requests from various people telling her we were having trouble at LCF...she already SAID she would not be monitoring the site...Im sure she will check in there from time to time as she did at LCF, but when she says monitoring, I think she means that she will not be posting, responding, or directing the forum in any way. And I cant say that Iblame her! She has enough on her plate answering all the random e-mails she gets. Thats why if we end up with questions here, we should group them all together and just have one person e-mail her...make it easier to keep in her good graces and continuing to respond to us! I did let her know that we had branched out on our own, but didnt say exactly where...although I will tell her if she asks! I have to respond to her again next friday, so if there are any questions from us here, let me know!!

That's so funny Nell! I've been thinking about Tobamelia this morning as well.

I answered her that she could write to me anytime. It's not surprising someone would come to that conclusion if they had absolutely no idea what was going on. If by tonight when Seabreezes gets on we have a consensus that it's ok then I will ask her over here. If people feel unsafe about it, I won't.

I LOVE spicy! The hotter the better. But I'm in that boat alone. I'm gonna try salsa tonight on my veges...thanks Lis.

You can try hot salsa in Tuna Salad if you like hot food Cindy.
