hello ladies. Love that eveyone has been doing so well! Paulette.. avatar is BEAUTIFUL! KATHY.... makes sense you never had MS. Never had the expected progression and good to have the anti depressant as well. Sometimes we need a little help ...hope the bad weather cleared and ohoine and internet service is better.. massages were good and Hini, you dtr finds resolution for head aches. I am sure she ust have tried high caffeine doses???
So now guys.. I will write the book of the horrendous and miserable few days and you will know WHY my weight will go up as well as Jodi's:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I called my friend in south Fl to ask if she wanted my presence as a house guest.. we had not seen each other in years and her hubby died a few months ago so she has been asking when I was coming...so she was elated and said of course come down.. I asked if she was certain she would not bother going into the office ( her son took over the deceased husband"s tax buisness).. she said OF COURSE.. just the 2 of us for days!..Told her we would get a late start in the morning and I called when we left to let her know our arrival time as we were driving there on Tuesday.. I would get there around 7pm..at which point she says 'I'm taking the girls out to dinner and IF YOU WANT TO JOIN US YOU ARE WELCOME"...huh??? like what else would I do.... so I said great.. she again asked when was I getting there since they would be going about 6pm.. so I said to put the key where she usually left it for me... OK...so that is it. I go to an empty house.. Jodi and I would stop at fast food and get a bite first.... so now we are one hour away and she calls to ask when I was getting there.Their timing was changed and it may get called off..... I asked when was she leaving? well, then I find out that she had no intention of going home to even get me... so I told her to do what ever and Jodi and I would get a room near where she needed to be about 20-30 mins away from Bonnie. It was getting too late to go the her home and it was 90 minutes out of Jodi's way going back and forth etc.SO NOW comes the good stuff... she says.. ok.. have Jodi drop you off along I-95 exit in the morning and she would pick me up and take me into Boca on the way into the office!!! HUH???What happened to not going in the office??? she changed her mind and expected me to sit in the office for hours and hours... could not go out of her way to get me from the hotel..Jodi had to go to her dad's funeral ..uh...wtf!
Now I just tell her I will speak to her later.. I was fuming... so we found a hotel less than $500 a night and for that had to go closer to where Bonnie was and away from Wellinton by 30 minutes more.... truned out to be in a neighborhood you do not walk in! Room was at least clean.No heat.Unheated pool but place was ancient and cute.. aside from the crack heads and low life there. SO there I am with Jodi trying to figure out the next day's rates.. seems the opwner sits and TWEAKS..if a room is available he drops the price as the day goes by so evenings are cheap but you cannot KNOW if there will be a room available whaile playing the wait and see game... I was going to try to do that anyway..... and Bonnie calls and is blowing up my phone while I am figuring out room arrangents with the manager who seems to have full blown AIDS and his pregnant office staff..OY..they actually were very sweet and nice when they learned the situation.REALLY nice folks..so, this place is only $125/night.Bonnie called and I told her not to call me again and I was not seeing her at all... so, we find that there is one place to eat.. a pizza place closing at 10PM...in 30 minutes..off we go..as we made a right turn into the correct street, and an 85 yr old senile old lady ramed us in the rear and with such force our car was pushed a good 50 feet into the road and TG Jodi got the car out of a spin. The rear end is absolutely basjed in to the rear window and there is a crimp at the windo at the quarter panel.. no bumper..torn and hanging.. her air bags delployed or she would have tried to keep going.. her headlights were all over the road as well.. So the paramedics come and the police. My neck is hurting and I have a good headache..whiplash in the making..my bp 124/98 ..hmm.. not going anyplace.. I KNOW that hospital.. it is where david died... or was pronounced.. my FIL was there for hip surgery and they wanted to relase him with a fever.. uh.. no thanks... so, we wait for the tow trcuk 90 minutes to take us back to the where the airport is to the rental comapny tpo get anopther car... we get no food and back at 2am. WE ARE FREEZING in the room..no heat. thin coverlet. My clothes are for warmer weather and a heated house.and now Jodi leaves in the morning and does not return until 5:30p Thursday night. I got to spend all of Wednesday alone nad foud the pizza place delivered so that is what happened. OH.. great comcaste tv.. no guide! So, on the next day, Thursday, Stacy and the grnad kids come at 9:30 with SIL.. I was told we would go out to IHOP for breakfast..good.. was stareved...never went out.They ate first. So we sat and visited and I had the coffee they provide in the tiny packs with that cheap powdered stuff..Jodi said she would stay there for SHIVA and then come for me and we would drive 4 hours and then stay over in Gainsville and drive the rest of the way Friday morning...I had to check out by noon which was later than allowed usually.. I sat in a chair near the pool for 5.5 hours.. only a little in the rain.. OK... So Jodi shows up close to 6PM on thursday and we drive forever to Gainsville.. found another IHOP at midnight and a really nice room at budget in.. old and like an apartment..and HEAT!! but a tiny double bed..OY.. we checked in at 12:45am.. got up at 7:30am and drove..after IHOP for breakfast. So I had 3 Ihop feasts and one piza and the insides of a spinache calzone..not the crust.. about 1 oz cheese in that miserable thing (that was 2am on Thursday morning since I could not sleep and stayed up).. so, I think I earned the stress and we really did the best we could do. I spent a good $400 on this mess and Jodi paid for 2 of the IHOPS...and of course the rental car..TG the report states it was 100% the other party's fault so she is not responsible at all. Now to deal with her insurance and the rental stuff..should be no problem. TOMORROW is SELF DEFINING SATURDAY!
I WILL MAKE THE CHOICE TO RETURN TO PLAN AND GOD WILLING I WILL HAVE NO MORE TRAGEDIES.I am a strong person and these things do not make me want to go off plan.. I seem to be in situations where shit happens.
SIDE BAR.... my rins had been falling off my fingers today.. had cheese and salty stuff for dinner..slim pickins here....Oh seems that the dirty large dogs have been camping out on the WHITE LEATHER sectiobal sofas in the livingroom.. filthy muddy snady and slobbered mess on the queen sleeper, 3 recliners and stationaary and corner seats and love seat!! nice mess for me to try to clean..oy sigh..but the animals are all alive...

Go Paulette! Keep on keepn on!
What does the coffee do to/for/with the venison?

Haha Chrissie.... down the drain.... where it belongs!!

Great to see losses even when busy Barb... hope you get a chance to relax soon.

OH CRICKET AND JODI! Where to even begin regarding your starcrossed adventuring!!!?! Maybe after awhile you can look back and laugh at all the ridiculous twists of fate that must have converged to cause such a chain of events all in one trip

Himi: Sorry for the bounce. I am so thankful I don't have to deal with TOM anymore. Hopefully, it will be gone as quick as I came.

Cricket: You really need to get started on that book! Even at times when you need things to go smoothly for you (to keep your sanity), it never seems to happen. It's too bad your friend couldn't have made some type of adjustments in her schedule for the two days you were there, especially when you hadn't seen her in a while. Were you supposed to hold a cardboard sign while standing at the I-95 exit???? That was a lot to ask from both you and Jodi, especially when she was dealing with the stress of the funeral.

I hope you aren't still feeling any effects from the accident. We had the same type of experience in Myrtle Beach when we were there in October, but fortunately, we weren't in the car. We rented a car for the first time in 35 years and someone scraped/backed into it while we were eating. Hit and run was witnessed by some other people in the restaurant, but they were inside looking out the window when they saw it happen and couldn't catch them. So, no other insurance. Fortunately, we bought the $500 benefit for incidentals and never heard from the rental company or our insurance that a claim had been filed so the $500 must have covered it.

Sounds like the animals were having their own vacation/party while you were away! Must have been a real "animal house". Like you said, at least they were all still alive when you got back.

I hope things get back to normal for you.

Kathy: I don't think I ever told you that I was happy to hear that you had good results from your tests. It's nice to know that you don't have to deal with the issue and uncertainty of having MS. You are already dealing with a lot. Good luck to Chris on his job prospect. My son finally heard yesterday that he was medically approved for the job he interviewed for in early November. They began the background check shortly after he interviewed and it still took 2 months. His doctor wrote a letter in supporting of the hire, but they still pulled his medical records due to his diabetes. I guess they are just trying to be sure he can safely do the job so I guess that's a good thing. It's a state job and he'll start 2/01, so he's excited.

Paulette: The chili sounds good, but I would probably use beef. I don't mind not having the beans as I never enjoyed them anyway. I might have to give it a try as soup normally fills me up after eating just a small amount.

Love your picture! At first, I thought we had a new member. It's not just the picture...you look great in the picture. You are my inspiration!

Chrissie: I must have had a really tough week, because it took me awhile to figure out what you were saying about "clogged pipes"! Dumb me...I was thinking you really had pipe problems in your home. But....glad it worked out so well for you. Again, you have a great loss this week!

Jodi: I hope you survived the week. My thoughts and prayers have been with you. Hope to hear from you soon, when your live gets back to some normalcy!

My late meeting the other night was a fun meeting! It was our HOG (motorcycle) meeting, but it's located 1 1/2 hours away. Our local chapter changed their meeting to the same night. It's only 30 minutes away, but we elected to go to the other one. There are actually about 10-12 of us that go. I LOVE going, but it doesn't start until 7:30 so it's always late getting home. The ride home is never as fun as the ride down.

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow for Sexy Saturday! I think I'm going to have to go in to work in the morning...too much to do for W-2s. The ACA/healthcare reform has created a nightmare for me!

Hi Barb Happy your son got that job! Sounds like a life job with government ..took valium that night so no lasting effect except the darned shoulder was hurt.Figures. Jodi was able to get some important things from her dad.The wife was very kind and gave Jodi these special things.One was a start spaphire and diamond ring that I gave him on our 1st anniversary..then 2 silver items from her great grandfather that I actually held and used one for 37 years thany belong to her vreat grandfather. Only revently did I even return them!He also kept the wedding ring from our marriage which surprised me.
CHRISSIE>>> joining you clogged pipes. No magnesium on the trip of ducosate!! OY..do have heartburn non stop though.

Benn sneezing and sore throat so staying in bed tomorrow with elec blankets on!
Have a great night!
OH... I did write one scathing put it where the sun don't shine letter to the ex friend. That was the least I could do!

I am holding steady today.

CRICKET - Holy Moly, that was quite a story you told! It was quite shocking and I am REALLY HAPPY that the accident was not injurious to either of you!!!!!! I think the run-around you had to endure from your "friend" was ridiculous. So I am greatly relieved that you are home and WELL. She deserves the scathing letter, by the way. ---- This trial is now over and you can now go back to some normalcy as these days roll on. Welcome Home.

BARB - congrats on your loss yesterday and thank you for the very kind compliment. It must be very warm where you are to be able to continue riding. Our bike is tucked in for the winter right now. We are in for sub zero temps the next couple days!!! I hope you have a good day at work today - sounds stressful! I'm happy to hear your son got the job!

HIMI - The coffee in the chili merely adds additional flavor depth. Same as the cocoa powder. (KATHY, you also asked about this) You do not taste the actual chocolate or coffee, per se, they tend to blend well with the other spices and give the chili a "browner" look and taste. I like a lot of spice and peppers in my chili, and I just happen to like this particular blend. Of course, you may add or subtract whatever you like. I also added a pinch of Thyme to the chili, but forgot to list it. Not too much, as it can become overwhelming.

-------------

Lots of work for me today. And I will be having BACON & EGGS for lunch! I have not had that in a long while! I still have some chili and the chicken dish sitting in the fridge that I will put in the freezer. I can have those some other day. I am planning on a tuna salad for dinner. It is nice and light, yet filling. So that is the plan. Cals today about 1178, and carbs 12. A new batch of yogurt is culturing away right now and should be done around 3pm.

You all have a great Sexy Saturday - and relax if you can! I will stop back later on, as usual.

PAULETTE.......thanks for the chili recipe; i will use beef instead (as you probably guessed)

KATHY.....man, you're frienemy TOM is definitely a meany!
i am SO glad he is a thing of the past for me

HIMI......your TOM's bounce was a little smaller than kathy's, but still a big meany too

BARB......yaaay for your son!!!!
he must be SO happy, and you must be SO proud ....it is awesome to have a gov't job; benefits & security

CRICKET.....all i can say is HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!
i am SO sorry you had to go through all that
i can't believe how insensitive and horrible your so-called friend is (was)
with friends like that, who needs enemies
i hope you are feeling better today

PAULETTE.......thanks for riding with me today, but i hope we can both hop out tomorrow!!
btw....i love your new pic too! i have tried & tried, but i CANNOT get my pic on there to save my life

have a great day ladies

HI wonderful ladies! First.. no weigh in. Not afraid it was just timing to drinking a river early. I had not had fuids for days.. on the road and horrid FL city water..ugh...so tomorrow for the new game will have to do.
Had 2 servings bacon and one of roast pork loin at noon just now. I do not hurt but Jodi who has a bad back will see if chiropractor is helpful.she hurt it more after the accident.. it was a brutal hit and wtisted us bothe around..she did well in it though. I slept in a little and will go back to bed. Watched RUN DOWN with cutie DWAIN JOHNSON who will ALWAYS be THE ROCK to me and now FULL METAL JACKET. Had my meds that did not have for a few days except for thankfully taking along the HCTZ and COZAAR BP med..I needed it there.Felt like my carotids would pop.
HIMI.. thanks for the comment..I missed it last night
POLLIE>> cannot due spices like you do. LOVE the odors and just cannot tolerate the hotness..not even a lot of any pepper!

I unfriended Bonnie from FB nad blocked her mail. I was a better friend to her than she to me.Nice to find out who your friends are... I now have all aquaintences as far as I am concerned. IF I go south again I know where to stay!
that is it from this place so take care and I will be back..

I am up .4 today - hanging steady in this new range and very happy with it. Lost 1.4 for the week and that is excellent!!!

BARB - missed you again yesterday. I hope things are not too hectic in your life. I hope today lets you see a good loss!

CHRISSIE - You are having a great losing week! I hope today you can jump off the mobile and rack up some more numbers for the game! By the way, when I think of sexy undies, I think of ones that cover and support my wrinkled and saggy lower abdomen. Hold it all in! So maybe a bright colored stretchy brief with perhaps a lace decoration is as sexy as I would ever go!

KATHY - Congrats on the great loss yesterday! You are so close with HIMI that I wonder who will take the game today?

HIMI - For some reason, I bet you will be our big winner! Please tell us about the new bunnies!

CRICKET - Time for your weigh-in! I hope all the stress and frustrations you have had to deal with do not effect your numbers too negatively. Good luck!!!

----------

Packers lost last night. Oh well, there is always next year.

I was super busy yesterday, work-wise, and did not get to bed until around 10pm. And of course, the hungry hippos woke me at the usual time, so I am a tired unit right now. If I am not too busy today, I want to squeeze in a nap this afternoon! I love sleep.

I am having the leftover chicken casserole for lunch, and perhaps a tuna salad for dinner. Cals planned at 1121, carbs 14. If I put cheese on the salad, it may go up... This is something I will not know until tonight.

I hope we all have a great Sunday!!!!

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. I worked most of the day trying to get things caught up. I was going to post last night, but fell asleep early.

Looks like the group had a good loss again this week.

Paulette: I've been writing my post for 90 minutes now, while trying to unclog pipes. However, unlike, Chrissie, mine were my real pipes in the kitchen. I should have eaten a little more of the fat from my hamburger last night, instead of pouring it down the drain. I was going to use "slim 'n' trim" Sunday, but your word is much better and means the same thing.

Our bikes are put away as we've had snow on the ground since the 1st. The HOG meetings are held once a month, year round, so we all load up in the car. There are many winter months that someone will ride to the meeting, but they probably live fairly close to the meeting site. On Jan 1st, they always have a Polar Bear Ride. It was cold, windy and snowing, but I think they still had close to 50 bikes show up. We usually can't do that ride since it's 60 miles away, but we were able to do it one year when it was about 60 degrees on New Years. Glad you were able to maintain your loss.

Himi: The mable mobile was crowded yesterday, Did Paulette and Chrissie make room for you? Happy to hear about the bunny addition and hope you enjoyed the concert.

Kathy: Another pound down. Sounds like you are staying committed to your exercise program. Great job.

Chrissie: I'm with you relative to the "un-sexy" feeling. I'm not even sure if undies would help. I know they always say you need to love yourself in order to have successful weight loss, but it's really hard for me when I know I'm not the person I used to be, or want to be, every time I look in the mirror. We're trying to get there, though and I guess that's a start.

Cricket: Again, I don't blame you about Bonnie. She wasn't there when you needed her the most. Like you said, those are the times when you find out who your true friends are.

Jodi: I hope your back feels better soon.
