Hello from Work!


Nell and Laura - what is this flylady thing and what do we do with it?

Flylady is a website that gives pointers on how to keep your house clean of clutter and to help keep your life stress free. She even gives diet tips, maybe we can hook up with her for MM. She is also on Facebook!

My computer one is my Whole Foods list so it wouldn't be comprehensive enough I don't think.

could you send it to me anyway? I shop at Whole Foods half the time these days (I used to go more but I just can't afford it )

Why wouldn't an exceptional person have exceptional physical symptoms? I've got to tell you that it's wonderful being able to talk about this stuff with someone that doesn't assume your a hypochondriac. I've done a lot of things on my own that has helped me slowly improve, but it's so good to have other ideas and know what works for you.

I don't tell anyone I have CFS/FM, I''m so afraid they wont believe me and think I'm just lazy. I had a friend a few years ago tell me that I couldn't have CFS because that was a phony made up disorder. I try really hard not to complain to my husband because I don't kno wwhat he thinks about me having CFS

((Natalie)) That must be very lonely for you. I'm sorry your friend said that. Maybe you could ask your husband what he thinks of it during a time he's receptive to talking? That way you would know how he feels about it?

Well guys!! I will chat with you later I am off to go teach 2 zumba classes tonight.

 

[momtozac]

I have parent teacher conferences tonight and all I want to do is sleep!! He just started school last month for goodness sake!! I have to shake this off and get dinner started so I can get to the school.

I walked Loretta this morning for my exercise--it was so nice out. She's a trip when I take the leash out she goes nuts!! the same way she goes nuts when I come home--why cant my husband wiggle his whole body and jump around like nuts whenever I come home from somewhere???

Just signed up to be a Boston Terrier foster mom!! Good and bad, I help save them from a shelter (esp kill shelters) but I'd have to give them up to a good home and will be very sad. but, I might just find another wonderful dog to adopt and then I'll have 2 wigglers happy to see me!!!

I had my husband read some articles and I talked to him about it. Plus, I told him to stop asking me why I don't feel well.

the fibro I tell people because I know people have heard of it. The CFS is alittle harder to explain. I have a couple good friends I confide in who believe me and understand. I need to find a message board for people with it so I can ***** and moan my butt off!!heehee

Hi!! Read all the posts then had to answer the phone and forgot everything I read!! OMG hopefully not missing anything important!

Sounds like you guys are really going to town with the crockpot recipe! Good idea to add the brown rice on step 2...IF I ever go back! I might make it with the broccoli next time too...

That's not a bad idea, actually! Have you been to Dr. Teitelbaum's website? I wonder if they have message boards. I am sure there are large support groups around. I have been so much better since incorporating his recommendations (and I didn't do them all). Those 'hit by a truck days' are very far and few between now.

Did you ever make chicken divan where you put the broccoli on the bottom of a big casserole dish, then chicken that's been precooked some, the sauce on top is made with cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, cheddar cheese, what else - sour cream? and some curry? I was wondering if your dish tasted anything like it? Might be delish with a bit of curry powder, too. I'm going to give it a whirl.

This sounds pretty good Lisa. I never thought of putting chicken on top of broccoli. I actually have both in the house right now. But not any soup. I wonder if that broccoli type creamed soup, or the same thing of cauliflower would work instead of buying the soup. I bet it would. See, I have the first meal on my shopping list to buy for!

Morning Kate!! I guess everybody went to bed early last night! Figured I would be catching it this morning for abandoning the chat to talk to Ken in China again last night!!

OMG, he was actually out on an oil drilling rig in the East China Sea yesterday...arent those things like totally dangerous? Then I had this incredibly BIZARRE dream last night where I found out that he worked at a Car Dealership in Detroit!! What the hell is with that!!??? I gotta lay off the Atkins shakes before bed!!

Mike was working on the gas rigs when he got laid off. I know how much I worried about that, so I can only imagine how worried you must have been!! Those things scare the begeeze out of me!!!

Anybody else get the PM from stwill on LCF? She asked where we were...I PM'd back that I would tell her if she promised not to tell anyone else!! Are y'all OK with her coming here? I say YEAH!

KATHY!!! Did you see TSO has their new CD coming out in a week?!! I am so excited!!

If you guys like rock music or can tolerate it at all, you have GOT to listen to TransSiberian Orchestra...they have the most AMAZING Christmas music on the FACE OF THE PLANET!!!! Listen from their website or get any of the CD's and you will NOT regret it and will never think of Christmas music in the same way again!!

I didn't know it was out. I will definately be getting it. I am actually in their fan club and find out before the "public" when tickets go on sale, and at a discount. I may have to check it out. Another great birthday gift for me!!

You all have such wonderful recipes. I just fixed burgers and tots for the kids for dinner.

I have to go to the Yacht Club to take minutes for the BOD meeting. It is going to be a long one tonight, so I ate an apple at 3:00 and I just ate a bunless burger, but I guess I had better eat a carb too and call it dinner. It may be 9 or after when I get home.

Laura - you must be superwoman. I can't imagine trying to do 2 zumba classes in one night. Mine is gold, but the instructor is still sweating up a storm when we are done.

Nat - sorry you don't feel comfortable talking to your husband about your CFS. You can always come talk to us. I've never had it, but I am great with sympathy and prayers. I had a friend go for a repeat mammogram last week and today she had to have a needle aspiration done. Luckily they were able to extract fluid (normally a cancer won't give off fluid), so our prayers this week were heard.


Well, I have to go get ready for my meeting.

Have a great night, Beverly! I heard two little brothers ridding their bikes down the trail behind my house. The littlest one could be heard bubbling in with, "Well, if we can't have a motor boat, then let's get a sailboat!" The older one replied, "Mathew, we can't afford it and we have no where to put it!" LOL Made me realize how young we start sounding like our parents and squashing dreams. I hope that little guy gets his boat someday. Made me think of your yacht club.

Hi Again...one more hour to go then off to the gym!

Lisa - I guess that did taste a little like chicken divan now that you mention it!! I just used the spinach since I eat broccoli alot and am trying to get more dark greens in me!

Kathy - I got the TSO info from an e-mail I got from their Fan Site!! You can pre-order it on Amazon for like $20 for the two disc set!! So Excited!! BTW...when is your birthday?

 

[gettinhealthy]

Hi everyone!! I'm going to catch up on the posts from today that I haven't gotten to.
Just had to share my awesome supper with you all. I took the eggplant parm. and did my own kind of thing with it. I cubed up the eggplant, and some onion, put in the tomatoes, some garlic, and italian seasoning. Cooked it for about 1/2 hour until all the liquid was absorbed. Then added some parm. cheese. After in my bowl added a bit of mozzy cheese. OMG!! Sooo good, and a cinch to make.
Sautee'd my onions, peppers, and diced ham for my western omlet tomorrow morning already too.
Ok, back to what you were all doing LOL

PS: Tyson had a blast. We made a play date because this is a doberman he can play with. A dog his own size. They had so much fun running, boxing, slobbering, they played for about 2 hours straight. Tyson didn't want to stop, as neither did Sage LOL. There aren't really many dogs here that are his size that he can really play and run with. We don't even really have a dog park. Someone made one, but it's a joke. And extremely expensive But they loved playing in the field.

I haven't had a chance to check my email that goes to. I'll have to check it out.
My birthday is Dec. 31. I would absolutely love to see them again. I took pictures last year with my phone, I'll put them on photobucket and try to post the links for you.
