Herc's Heroes CHAT Thread - all welcome!!

[Sandy321]

Hey Gang -

I tend to be a very chatty person, and I dont want to clutter up the thread where MS Duckie TEAM Captain needs to record all our numbers -

so I thought I'd start a new thread!!

and I want it to be WISH Friendly in the words of OH MIGHTY WARRIOR PANDA that is!!

I think this should work in your signatures if you want!

I tend to change up my signature quite often btw -

If you want to make it smaller - you have that option in photobucket - just click on edit and resize!! (It may make that change permanantly - but I"m thinking you can delete it and start over... I'm computer Challenged!!)

Also do stop by and chat and record your triumphs, and struggles in the WEEKLY thread - not every WISHer is particpating in the Challenge!!

OK then...

I got 1 1/2 miles in so far, but I got tired, and came in to work on the image!! I promise to do more, and then post the total!!

Hi, Sandy! Good job on the image!

Sandy--great job with the logo and thanks for setting up the chat thread!

 

[lenshanem]

Let's chat away...

 

[lenshanem]

Got image up. Thanks Sandy and Stephen!

As another bit of encouragement - for those that love Wishes, did ya know the music from Hercules was in the score?

Morning - my fdil (future daughter in law) is coming over and taking me to the gym today!!

goal is 2.5 miles and then some floor exercise!! (ab work, some step work, medicine ball, that exercise ball is good for abs as well as push ups - that one is hard, but good - you lay on the ball and walk with your hands until the ball is at your knees, then try and push up - - eventually when you get stronger - you can go all the way to the ankles!!) at least 30 min!

Sandy, nice work! And way to go on having a plan today--that's half the battle.

I love the chatting thread. I need to figure out the dinner plan--my brother is coming in tonight, and he wasn't sure if he was coming for dinner...

Tomorrow in addition to my workout, I need to prepare the big game feast for six. In honor of the Arizona locale, we are having Mexican themed food--quesadillas, a fruit salsa (mango and kiwi), nachos, 7-layer bean dip, guacamole, and a taco bar.

Superbowl = super fat grams!! I make the best enchiladas ever - and I'm getting very hungry for them!!

Watch for the Pepsi ad - BOB's HOUSE! Its hysterical - and very meaningful to our family!! (it is up on youtube - search pepsi bob's house and you can even see the behind the scenes!)

Don't tell my family, Sandy.... I may have taken all my recipes from Cooking Light and other healthy places.... I'm hoping that they don't notice....

I will keep an eye out for that ad--although with the Giants playing, I'm not sure when I can get food or use the facilities if I can't miss the game OR the commercials....

 

[Sandy321]

Well I dont want you to miss anything so here's the link!

(I think its a 60 sec ad)

 

[ms.mightyduck]

Sandy--

Thanks! That is a great ad--funny and raising awareness! I can see why it's so special to your family. (one of those guys wouldn't happen to be your son?)

 

[ms.mightyduck]

BTW, now I will really not want to miss the commercial--I want to see it on the big screen!

Great ad! Thanks for sharing the clip Sandy! And thanks for the Herc Clippie. I need to play around with mine, it seems to be cutting off the bottom and I don't know why.

Can't WAIT for the game tomorrow! I'm from MA, guess who I'm rooting for?

Allyson, its because you are using too much space - Disboards only allows a certain amount of space - so if anything gets cut off, its because you are over the limit - you can shrink it - or try and move it to the side (dont add "space" ie "enter" )

Duckie not my son - my son is hard of hearing - that means he doesnt fit in either world, the Hearing world thinks he's weird (he reads lips and fills in blanks, and hopes he's following along the convresations, every now and again its more of a "huh?!" moment! ) The deaf world resents him because he can hear....

but - ds is unique in that he is extremely personable - and when he was 5 yrs old he got accepted into a deaf/hard of hearing Hockey camp - and he learned sign language - so that group of Deaf Kids never saw him other than "DS" -

Deaf have a great culture - - and a strong community...

I'm rambling again...

Move the ticker factory down next to Herc's Heroes - or put Hercs heroes on that top line - and then the Ticker Factory will automatically go next to it... and then your trip report will be under it - you may also try a smaller font for the trip report if you still need more space!

Thanks Sandy! I think I got it!
