TKers: Six threads under and still killin' time....

[whgrn]

Hmmmmm...10 hours, no posts...

OH NO!!

I KILLED THE TKers!!!

 

[MagiKitty]

Ack, no, Wendy....you didn't kill us. You just put us to sleep! (j/k!)

Good morning dearies...my adopted grandmother always called me dearie. Its a nice way to start the day.

Already I have post-Olympics blues. The closing ceremonies started off with a whimper, but I enjoyed it as it went on. I will say, those Canadians sure do have a wicked sense of humor! Michael J Fox looked really good too. All those inflated characters was very Disney-reminiscent, wasn't it?

You're all on your own this evening....leaving this afternoon for JFK again. Hopefully it won't be as treacherous as last week!

Let's have a good day ladies!

Morning!!! I saw the sun for a few minutes this morning. I actually had to remind myself what it was. Of course now it's all clouded over again. But it is almost 40* out there so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Wendy, I would have posted last night but I was completely exhausted after the Olympics for 2 weeks.

MK, I gave up on watching the closing ceremonies. They just didn't hold my interest.

You be careful when you go out tonight.

 

[MagiKitty]

Wow, apparently Europe, particularly France, got hit with a really bad hurricane-like storm over the weekend. Still more natural disasters...I just read it online, didn't see it on the am news. Are we getting impervious to such news now? Are we just resigned that all sorts of bad weather is just normal now?

Crazy...

Thanks JOCA....my brother will be doing most of the driving tonight. I'm just the entertainment. If it were just my brother and dad in the car, it would be silence for 2 hours!

 

[JOCAmom]

Until you mentioned it, I never saw anything about it. I checked out local news websites and one has it on their front page but after a fluff headline. The other one I normally read, has nothing on it that I could find.

I'm sure you can provide plenty of entertainment for the drive.

Hey all, geez everyone has been pretty chatty. Took me about 2.5 hours to catch up. Forgot to quote anyone, so I hope all is well for EVERYONE.

DH is over his sickness, Baby Walter is mostly recovered from what ended up turning into a nasty bout of RSV, and I have caught what I think is a very nasty cold. I took Walter to the sitter this morning and came home and got in bed, but of course I can almost never sleep during the day, so I am just trying to rest.

 

[M&N]

Good morning...the sun is out...a lot of snow has melted. I can see some grass in the yard under the trees. May be a big drift in the middle!
The phone man came and gave me a new line to the house...no more static! On the phone with the service dept, he said about some box outside and I could take a screwdriver out with my phone and he would tell me what to check. I said I was not going to do that! I'm not usually that forceful but there was snow there and I pay for service and I was going to get it! And I did! But the back of my mind was worried that it was my fault if something was wrong or it would not be static in the line when he came...but there was and it was in the bad line not my box!
Missed you all!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Good for you M&N, those companies sure do like to try and take the easy way out. Don't they understand they are the ones that are supposed to take care of these things, not us? And isn't that the point of their employment?

 

[M&N]

If I would have gotten there with a screwdriver, who knows what would have happened. At least I saw where he went for the box...I'm never going there though...have my butt stick out toward the street, leaning under a bush...NOT ME! Not a pretty picture!

 

[M&N]

Just a comment in regards to the age issue....Pleeeease! I'm going to be 60 so don't complain to me about age!!!! I'm trying to work through it as freinds have their bday so by the time it's mine, I hope to be ok with it. (Not working yet!)

I'm going back to the fitness center this month. A friend is going along. She goes to the beach for the summer so we're getting a month in before she goes. I missed 3 months but have been doing the Wii. I know that's not enough. I also want to do better eating. I have not been horrible but not good enough to loose...at least not gain either but I need to get into my capris before FL. The ones I wore last trip are too big. My sizes on the way up in weight need to match the seasons on my way down---I'm sure some can identify with that.

Hello everybody!
Glad everyone survived the storms. We had some rain in Vegas. We went south to I-10 (usually we do I-40) and avoided snow, just had rain. The wedding was beautiful. My DD caught the bouquet! Too bad she doesn't even have a boyfriend. I hugged too many people, now I have a sore throat.

It is amazing how many natural disaster have been happening. I'm glad the tsunami fizzled out. I'm sure someone on the islands. is complaining about being evacuated.

whgrn Glad the dialysis went well for your father.
MagiKitty I'm so glad our houses are spaced far apart. I just have to go out side and whack my satellite dish (attached to the wall). If I had to throw tennis balls we'd never have reception.

I'll be working some weight off with you M&N. I went back to my Weight Watcher roots and have been following the program (the way it was back in 2003) for the last 2 weeks. The first week (2/16-2/23) I lost 2lbs and tomorrow will be my second weigh in. My fingers are crossed!

I can't wait until the weather is good enough for me to get out and start walking. The weather is actually good enough for others to be walking but I like it a little warmer.

Welcome back DL55!

Did the wedding go smoothly?

 

[DL55]

Hi Pikester!
The wedding went smoothly, no u-tube moments. I think we wore out his mother though. We kept getting lost in the casinos. I did get ahead by $23 (on the penny slots). Of course, that's gone plus a few bucks more.

So, what are you saying? I'm boring? (my kids would likely agree...)

DH is over his sickness, Baby Walter is mostly recovered from what ended up turning into a nasty bout of RSV, and I have caught what I think is a very nasty cold. I took Walter to the sitter this morning and came home and got in bed, but of course I can almost never sleep during the day, so I am just trying to rest.

Oh no, RSV is the pits! Hope you can get some rest and feel better soon. Mom's don't get to "be sick", since we are always on duty!

M&N, the visual of you at the phone box made me laugh!

MK, have a safe journey tonite. I don't envy you the trip to JFK. I HATE going there and will avoid it at all costs.

I bought out BJs and Whole Foods today--tons of water and paper products, and about 20-25 pounds of various meats. I have to cook food for the Dukester this weekend, and it's time to make my chili and my tortilla soup soon too, so that takes lots of meat and lots of beans. Filled my cooler to the top! I like shopping this way though--now I won't need to go back for awhile.

 

[JOCAmom]

Welcome back M&N and DL55!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LITC, you just can't catch a break lately. I'm glad both DH and Walter are better but sad that you have caught a cold now. Try to get some rest.

 

[M&N]

Pikester---What NetZero plan do you have? Is it reliable? Do you like it? WW is a good way to go I think. In counting carbs I am supposed to have so much fruit and veggies...it's a lot like WW. Except I've gotten lazy about counting.

DL55---I caught the bouquet at a wedding and nothing happened yet! She's got plenty of time.

Wendy---Mom and I like to stock up at BJ's too. There are certain things we only get there. Sounds like you have a big job of cooking in your future.

poor me...next to last in the NASCAR picks here this week.

JO cannot trash Jr too much though...he finished right behind Kyle. Of course it was behind him but not much!

 

[Pikester]

NetZero or NetFlix?

 

[M&N]

Here I go---chatting to myself again...
