To my other chocolate souffle sisters - I now need to lose a further 7lbs to accommodate eating these!!

That would be me!

I've lost about 22 pounds since last October, but I still need to lose another 30. I've been stuck now in the same place for the last two weeks. I blame it all on the SNOW!

Shaq for Shawn Marion???

Maybe 5 years ago.

This has all of Phoenix quite confused

I hope it benefits our team (Utah Jazz) during the playoffs! I think Shaq is over his prime!

Hey are any of you from the west coast planning on doing the Mexican 7 day cruise while it is in California? I was thinking I may book a week since they are here so close to me. It is easier since I am in California and cheaper since I can drive to port. I also have passes to Disneyland, Sea World and the Wild animal park and San Diego Zoo. Would be a low cost vacation as far as the land portion for me. So anyone planning on one or considering it? Oh and it visits a port our cruise does not that is a bonus!

--------->edited to stop the widespread panic! LOL NO I am not canceling this cruise. I am thinking I will book ANOTHER one for this summer when schools out. So anyone else thinking of doing that?

There are a bunch of us that are doing the July 27th 7 night because it will be the 10th anniversary of the maiden voyage of the Magic on July 30th. Plus, our friend, Michael, will be celebrating his 40th birthday on July 30th also. We keep telling DCL that they need to do something special on that cruise to celebrate 10 years of Magic! You should join us. There is a thread going for that cruise on the boards.

Snow has a lot to answer for.

I thought they were coming out with new gifts and pins. Is the stateroom gift for CC members the same? I haven't checked recent trip reports...

They just started brand new ones this last month. They have been on Ebay already on auction

I'm suppose to fly to Melbourne tomorrow but I'm thinking of canceling. My best friend lives there. Her dh died a couple of years ago and everything seemed to be going as it should until about 6 months ago. I just don't understand her decisions lately. I know I have to stay with it until she comes to her senses again but I've had this trip planned and checked to make sure that she had no other plans. Her friend and husband have moved in with her and her brother decided to come visit(been there a month). She lives in a 2 bdr home. no fold out couch. Last night she informs me that some friends invited her to come to the Keys this week-end(she was there last week-end) and she said yes. So when she gets off work at 5:30 tomorrow she wants us all to cram in a small car and drive the 5+ hours to thier house. We have to be back Sunday. So I will be spending the week-end with 5 people I have never met. My friend and I are the only ones that don't smoke and I am allergic to smoke. I'm just thinking of the ride to the Keys that I don't want to do anyway. I feel the flu coming on! Ok I've b...... enough.

Well I think you brought up several valid reasons for pushing your visit back a couple weeks or so! I too cannot tolerate smoke so that alone is a biggie. The cramming into the car to visit people you do not know thing well sounds as if she is being selfish to me. Even good friends go astray at times I know this. You know I heard the flu is going around......

I must be the only one who prefers the Palo tiramisu to the souffle, and I am a card carrying chocoholic...

Oh me too! In fact, we get an extra to take back to the room for our daughter!

 

[Making_Memories]

One more fact to add to my week-end saga - it's a vaction condo so I don't know if they have internet!

OK that seals the deal right there!

Speaking of the men's surgery - When my dd was in kindergarden we had a puppy that we had neutered. We told dd that we didn't want any puppies. A few weeks later my dh had the surgery. My dd asked why her dd couldn't walk and he told her the truth that we were not going to have anymore children. My dd went to school and told everyone that her dad had been neutered. He was so embrassed.

Okay, so I only had 435 posts to scan through to catch up from yesterday. WHEW!

So, I still have a small cold, it is going to snow again today and then we are suppose to get a little sun.

But then, I woke up this morning and I have NO VOICE! Guess it is from all the coughing I have been doing.

Anyway, I'm here at work, hopefully, no one needs to talk to me. Good thing is....I can be a really good listener today!

 

[Making_Memories]

It's even harder to reply to.....lots of deleting.

That's so true it is much easier to reply to a short post then a multi quote one!

Has anyone tried the Oka B shoes? They appear to be the same kind of material as Crocs but are a tiny bit more stylish. My MIL has both and likes the okas too, she gave me a pair but it has been too cold and snowy to try them.

Will have to check these out!

 

[mishoe01]

Ok quick drive by post then will go catch up - I have 17 pages to read.

Met w/ the sleep dr today - I am getting a cpap. I requested a small one that travels well. Said could do. Company is supposed to be calling me tomorrow or Monday to set up for mask fitting. Hopefully this will help me not feel so sleepy all the time

Also - weighed myself this am....I'm now at 11.5 lbs since the beginning of the year *I am jumping up and down w/ this*

Sorry about the voice Linda. Fortunately it is no problem here!! Hope it all improves soon though.

Did you add about the weight loss later as I can't remember reading that and it didn't come up in the quote? Anyway well done for that - great progress.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Thanks Kaylee and Marreazza for the encouraging words about the diet and the metabolism. I'll keep trying and eventually it will kick in again.

Monica.....you're doing great.....keep it up!

My boss is back in the office a day earlier than expected.

So my DIS-ing activities are going to be severely curtailed compared to the last few days. I'm back to having to click in and out of the screen whenever I hear footsteps!

that is hard work at work, good luck with that

 

[pahrumpgirl]

Okay, have a problem that I hope someone can help with. When I first quit the thread for awhile i had a picture of Doug and I in my Avatar. When I came back it was gone and my original one was back. Now I would like to put another picture in but it doesn't seem to be using the same way as before (which was easy, just copy from photobucket and paste). Can someone explain to me what to do now?

Thanks,

Carol

Prayers needed:

I know many people have heard about the tornadoes that hit Tennessee. I live in Jackson - which is where the college (Union University) is that got destroyed.

I belong to one of the local Family and Community Education Clubs (also known as a homemakers club) and we just got word this morning that two members lost their homes in the tornado as well as one of the extension agents in the office that overseas our clubs and 4-H. Also a friend of mine had 3 employees loose their homes in the tornado.

This is the 3rd major hit with deaths that we have had in the past 9 years (Jan 1999, May 2003, Feb 2008) and we are still rebuilding from the 2003 hit in some areas and now this. Please just keep our town (and other towns affected) in your prayers.

Thank You.

So sorry to hear that you are going through this. I will keep you all in my thoughts and sendlots of good vibes your way.
