Sage | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 04:51 pm     1. Well, Mr. Sweet wrote me an email yesterday and he said he thought it over and was willing to be just friends, cuz he likes me too much to not ever see me again. 2. I got a phone call yesterday from a guy I knew in highschool 27 years ago. 3. He just moved back into the area from northern Idaho, is recently divorced, and is looking for old friends to meet up with again. 4. He is supposed to call me after he gets off work tonight, and we are going to out for coffee. 5. On Saturday night, I'm going out with Mr. Sweet and a bunch of his friends for dinner and throwing darts - how fun! 6. One of Mr. Sweet's friends is a girl I knew from highschool that I haven't seen since then, so we are going to meet up again. 7. I'm amazed about all this. 8. I've been told by friends and family that I have a gift for writing. They say this because I've read certain things that I've written to them. Never would have known it if they hadn't said so. 9. I'm thinking of practicing my writing on my online journal that I've had for a few years but don't write in very much. |

Not1worry | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 06:39 pm     1. Lately it seems like every time I want to post here, it's up to 10. But that's okay, I am sure I can ramble out 10 thoughts. 2. I am so thrilled about Schoolmarm's eyesight! I'm a little jealous too. 3. I vote for Sage to write in her journal. I used to journal and it was always very rewarding. As it's been said, all it takes to be a writer is to write. 4. This low carb thing is funny. My dad called and I mentioned it to him. 5. Turns out he's been doing it too and we both hate it, but he's stuck with it and lost much weight. 6. The funny thing is, he and I don't see eye to eye on nearly anything and our phone calls are usually very stilted. Today we chatted for quite a while trading low carb hints! 7. I also realized that I've been thinking so much the last 2 days about carbs and food and sugar and eating. 8. Not that obsession on diets and food is good, but it has kept me from stressing out over other things. 9. I know my DH should be calling soon and it is starting to seem like a long wait. I'm beginning to look nervously out the front door again and not wanting to go to sleep. 10. But at least I can distract myself by figuring out how many raspberries I can eat. So that's one benefit of carb obsession! |
Texannie | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 08:02 pm     1. I prefer to post when this thread is at low numbers too! ;) |
Sage | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 09:57 pm     1. "Date" with old high school friend turned out really nice. 2. He tried to kiss me when we said goodnight, and then he apologized, cuz I wouldn't let him. (Why do I feel like laughing?) |
Mygetaway | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 10:52 pm     1. J bean.. try doing the carbo addicts diet. You do your carbs in one meal only. It really works, and after two weeks you're cravings for carbs go away. 2. I managed to follow this twice and lost 30 pounds each time. 3. Eat your proteins and less than 4 carbs per meal twice. Then pick your reward meal, and eat any carbs you are craving. Eat within a one hour time period only. NO Snacking. I'm not in the frame of mind to post more now, but if you want more info, <removed by posters request.> <el> |
Watching2 | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 10:53 pm     1. Thanks for the welcome Egbok! 2. I weaning myself off Paxil since my doctors think it has a lot to do with my weight gain. I need to go on a diet, but I don't know which one. 3. I'm getting really attached to the people who post on all of these boards and look forward to seeing what they have to say and I'm so glad I looked past the Big Brother site last year and have looked at even more this year. You all are wonderful! |
Not1worry | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:21 am     1. I am soooooooooooooooo tired. 2. I feel like I got no sleep last night. Just when I was going to bed, the dryer buzzed and scared DD who had to come in bed with me then. 3. So she kicked and ground her teeth for hours. Then DH called at 5 a.m., which is YAY! 4. But all results in very, little sleep. I am so cranky. Have I said how tired I am???? |
Texannie | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:46 am     1. I have everyone out of my house! 2. DS didn't throw up but once yesterday and even ate dinner. 3. He is actually starting to perk up. 4. Think I am going to go to a girlfriend's jewelry show. 5. I am becoming very attached to the posters here too. |
Lostintheglades | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 08:38 am     1. I am just a bit jealous of the fact that Tex has the house to herself. 2. I am very happy that her DS is feeling better too. 3. I'm supposed to be working but don't feel like it so I'm gonna go put on my work clothes and touch up a few areas that my DH missed when he painted the family room the other day. 4. The sister that I was going to do T-day with just informed me that she has to work so she won't be cooking the turkey. Now I'm bummed because that means we'll be having a very small dinner here and I know the girls will be sad that it will just be the four of us. 5. I'm happy that Not1's DH called and hope that she's able to take a nap today so she won't be so tired. 6. I'm becoming very attached to the posters here too. (Thought I'd borrow that one from ya Tex.) |
Egbok | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 09:18 am     1. Two years ago I lost a close friend and confidant...my cousin Kathy. 2. She came home from work with a bad headache, which turned out to be a brain aneurysm. 3. She tried to hold on for two weeks in the ICU but was buried 2 years ago today. 4. She was only 49 years old and never got the chance to turn 50. We had such grand plans!! 5. I think of her almost everyday and I miss her dearly. 6. Kathy's sudden death showed me that life is very precious indeed and I try very hard not to take life for granted. I find myself saying "yes" more often instead of "no". 7. So do me a gigantic favor and go give all your loved ones a great big hug or tell them something positive to make their day. I'm so glad I have this place to express myself or I'd go nuts! |

Twinkie | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 11:59 am     {{{{Eggie}}}} A friend's brother dropped dead of a heart attack on Wednesday. 47 years old. No previous knowledge of heart trouble. Ya just never know. |
Mamie316 | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 12:13 pm     I'm so sorry Egbok. I know how it feels. My sister-in-law was complaining of a headache, went in to see the doctor, was told it was an aneurysm and they performed surgery. After brain surgery though, the brain can convulse, which her's did and she was brain dead. So quick it was hard to catch your breath. She was only 34 and had a son who was 6 at the time. You just never know and you are right...carpe diem! |

Egbok | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 01:37 pm     Thank you all...like I said, it's just wonderful to have this place to express myself...you guys are great! I'm fine, just a wee bit sad, but I'm doing okay.

Texannie | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 01:44 pm     Eg, I am so sorry for your loss. |

Reader234 | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 02:52 pm     {{{Egmom}} I've been thinking of you all day (after I read this!!) I too have a friend that died in a similiar way. He was much younger. Much, (in his late 30's) He was my brother, from high school, thru college, boy could he have FUN!! He thought his headaches were from "partying" way too much!! He could find the bestest, funnest places in Chicago. He was so active, so alive. We were so close... he was in my wedding, in those days he couldnt be my "man of honor" but he did all the things my maid of honor didnt. Came to the church early, brought me lunch, went over memories, helped me when my zipper broke... so many memories. He died in October 8 years ago. My dd I believe is here because October was so sad for his mom and me, she's her godmother. DD shouldnt have been, but here she is, and I know he is LOL at me trying to raise her at my age!! *G My first bestest friend died from a childhood disease, her memory lives strong in me too! She lived to be 20, it was her dream not to die "a child" and not to be buried in a "child casket" She made it by 1/4 inch!! Her mom and I grinned, so very like Debbie! (she had cystic fibrosis in the '70's) anyway, I just wanted to reach out and say, I kinda know. |
Texannie | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 02:55 pm     1. My son is feeling much better. 2. I am so thankful. 3. My dad left today to go visit my brother's family and is bringing his new lady friend. 4. I can't wait for the reports! LOL 5. I went to a jewelry show today and bought two silver necklaces!! 6. I am drinking a glass of wine right now. 7. DH and I are going to go out for Mexican food tonite. 8. I will have the house all to myself again tomorrow..dd is going on a girl scout thing and dh/ds are doing a boy scout thing. |
Sage | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 02:56 pm     (((Eggie))) 1. It's been a long day, and I'm ready to crash. 2. Saw the doc today and have to go see a surgeon because he's concerned about a lump in my breast that the mamogram didn't pick up. Sigh. 3. I got my flu shot today. 4. I found out today I was approved for medical and cash benefits. Thank you Lord!!! 5. I think I'll stay in tonight and just relax and maybe do some painting. 6. Old friend from highschool told me on the phone lastnight that he was attracted to me back then. I asked him if he was still attracted to me, and he said yes. Sigh. 7. There are so many new people here, I just can't keep up. 8. You all are soooo special to me, and I'm sorry I don't leave that many messages to people in their folders. I do think of you!!! 9. I spent a long time writing in my journal lastnight and didn't go to bed until after 2 am. Seems I'm reverting back to my old pattern.

Reader234 | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 04:15 pm     {{Sage}} 1. Yeah Texannie... (we must be related!) 2. DS and DH are going camping, a Boy Scout thing (and here in IL, we're talking in the 20's at night!!) 3. TV showed the 6yr old boy who died in soccer, the parents are suing for safer soccer goals. 4. I forgot to grab a couple of ceramics to paint over the week! 5. I've started shopping for Thanksgiving dinner. 6. DD and I are going to school tonight dressed in our PJ's, school slumber party, "Finding Nemo" - I wish dad could do this! 7. I want a glass of wine! 8. DS is to come home from college. When? How? etc... he wants a cell phone, no WAY!! 9. Papa Johns pizza is not as good as mine! blech! 10. Is it May yet? Why cant I save money this time of year????? |
Lucy | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 04:48 pm     {{{{Hugs to all those in need}}}}} 1. Tonight for dinner we're having fresh dungeness crab, brought in from San Francisco today!! I'm soooo excited!! He's huge...a 2 1/2 pounder! |
Auntiemike | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:02 pm     1. Yeah for Sage!!! Good news about benefits! 2. Take care of yourself; get plenty of rest. "Mother" Marijke speaking. :-) 3. Hubby is working late.....AGAIN! He is putting in quite a few extra hours at work which will be nice when we want him with us for extra days off during the holidays, but... 4. sure makes it hard being the "single parent" while he is at work. Four kids feel like 8 or more somedays! 5. It's a cold day and we're having homemade yummy stew and warm, flakey biscuits. Pumpkin pie for dessert. 6. I'm downstairs on my computer; kids are upstairs screaming. 7. I, too, love the people on these boards even though I don't many really well...they feel like family. 8. These boards is the best place to spend any extra time that I may have. Hugs to all of you! Have a great weekend. |
Twinkie | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 05:54 pm     Ok, the thread went from 10 back to 1 and then to 8 so i'm gonna do 2 to get the thread back on track. 1. Sas we see you coming into chat and see your post but apparently you can't see any of the chat. Try rebooting and try again. 2. Today was reason #89,745 why I love my hubby. He came home today with gifts for me. No special occasion. Clay's CD and a box of chocolates. He does this quite often. I love this man. |
