I know! I thought about that when she was traveling - why didn't any of us get a phone number or something? I think I have her email. I'll send her a note, just in case. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything back.

I sent her an email letting her know we were thinking/worried about her.

I'm thinking she probably hasn't had access to a computer.

Also, she's probably having a blast getting to act like a grown-up and hang out with her friends and even *gasp* stay up late if she feels like it - in the living room!!!

I hope she's doing good.

Love ya, Click!

I keep thinking thinking that, too: that we should have made sure someone had a phone number.

L&F, I hope your new life is going well, and that you get internet access soon .

Lisa, hopefully your mail will be good today!!!

Tooter, stay warm... We dodged the bullet yesterday for snow, but it's re grouping for more hits...

Ailuros, I may have to take up Yoga, heat Yoga at that.. I just found out last night, my future husband {he doesn't know it yet...} does that...



I didn't have time to reply to this when you posted it. I haven't done "heat yoga" (is that the same thing as Bikram yoga?). If you take it up, I'd love to hear how you get on. It doesn't sound like the sort of thing you can easily do at home, though, since most of us don't have a spare room we want to convert to a warming oven .

What's the story with your husband-to-be who doesn't know it yet?

RMAE, Inquiring minds want to know about your uninformed husband to be.

Hippie, thanks for emailing Click. She probably didnt have her new phone number yet when she was moving. Lets keep hoping she's ok.

Some places have free wifi, wonder if she has any in the area, like coffee shops sometimes offers it.

We are leaving tomorrow for Northern California then driving up to Oregon instead of taking the train because it doesn't have one that goes through the area we want to see in the daylight.

I will prolly not be able to pop in very often for a week or so so I will wish everyone well and hope good jobs are found.

Pear, congratulations on the weight loss, it's good to know that you are moving along.

Ailuros and Tooter, I hope your body tells you just what you need to be doing to feel your best.

I haven't read all of the posts, yet, but hope Click is doing well and getting a lot accomplished.

To our newer members, may you have much success.
Jean

Thanks for checking in Jean, its good to hear from you. We havent been worried about you, we know you are in GOOD hands. I'm so glad you are happy and enjoying your time together. Still wondering why you dont make it permanent.

Prayers please.

My 20 year old son said on Friday, that his bottom lower teeth were bothering him. Well, Sunday night his gums were swelling, This morning it's much worse. It's some kind of infection. Waiting for the Dr's office to open to call and get him in.

Of coarse I am nervous has heck. It seems like a lifetime until someone will be at the office.

It just happened so fast. His gums, chin and lower lip are swollen and now has pus coming out.

I am going to go try and get busy until we can get him in this morning. I've got to get busy to keep my mind busy. Waiting drives me crazy.

I will post back to you guys as soon as I find out what is going on.

The hardest thing about being a Mom, is you wish it was you instead of them.

The youngest has a two hour delay today...due to fog.

He was getting sick and tired of waiting for me to feel comfortable enough, financially, to order internet. I told him that I was surprised that no one in this entire huge building has wireless.

He started messing around on the computer!!! Dumb old Click!!!! I didn't realize how to get on to "other" wireless connections. So, he said, "MOM!!! We could've been on-line this entire whole last week that we have been sitting here with no internet!!!" There were about five or six connections listed in the building. So, we just picked one, and well...here I am!!!!! Naughty, Naughty!!!! Atleast it's free...for now...as I am getting very nervous about the finances!!!!

Hippie!!!!

Thanks for the e-mail!!!! I ordered the "Majic Jack", that you put the link up for. I'll let everyone know how it works, as a $20/year phone bill with unlimited calling within the U.S., and Canada, would be nice...and it supposedly offers all of the features. Also, they give it to you for 30 days to try out....if you don't like it...you can return it. They don't debit your account for the 30 days. So, I thought that there would be no harm in trying it. I should get it sometime this week.

Yes!!!! It has been very nice not having to tip-toe around!!!!! It's been nice taking showers whenever I want. Basically, it was much like a boot camp, that many things seemed strange...FREEDOM!!!!!! It was like being in a prison...that's the only way that I can describe it, as there was only one way in, and no way out for what seemed like an eternity!!!!

Ailuros,

Thanks for all of your concern. It was really nice to read the posts this morning, and see how everyone had concerns for me.

I have missed all of you. Gosh...I can't believe that I have already been here for a week...I'm not even completely organized yet!!!!

I love your backbend picture!!!! You're so skinny, and attractive!!! I can't wait to be slim again!!!!!

So, are you still the barking spider Goddess?

I know that you are "busy"......

I can just picture you...all prettied-up, acting like your house "always" looks as it does, and you didn't just spend all of that time "getting ready"!!!

Sooooo...was he as good as you remembered?

I've heard stories about train rides...sex stories that is!!!! You'll have to fill us in...incase you experienced the romance of a train ride!!!!

I hope that you are having fun!!!!!

Well....

It's one week of STRICT MEAT AND EGGS for me this week!!!! That means...no veggies no nothing...except water, meat, and eggs...maybe some mayo!!!! I've been eating what was available for the last week...mainly sandwiches!!!!

To prove how eating low carb changed my health....now my IBS is back in full force, I'm even more tired, my eyes are so swollen in the morning that I can barely open them and my fingers resemble sausages again, and the cravings are back. SOOOOOO.....it's strict, strict, strict low carb eating for the entire whole next week to get myself back in pace of things. I cooked a turkey yesterday, bought some eggs and bacon, and made sure to have plenty of tuna in the cupboard. Good thing that I still haven;t found my scale!!!! I hope that I didn't sale it!!!!!!

I've kept up with my schooling, and still have "A's" in them all!!!! For this I am happy!!!!

I went to the deli last Tuesday...they had just filled the position. So, I called a factory that I used to work at. I hated the hours of 5pm-atleast 3am, but figured that the mandatory 50-60 hours/ week could help me financially right now. They are laying people off, and are in the process of selling the business. So, no luck there. Then, now this is nothing to be proud of, I remembered the manager at the local Cenex (Convenience Store) had offered me a position about a year ago. So, I called her. She remembered me, and may have something for me. I am suppose to find out more today. If I get it, atleast it will be something. I, also, plan on finding out how to get my CNA license so that I can do that.

I still have boxes all over the place. I can't wait to be settled, and sit back and relax.

It's been really nice being on my own again, but I just have to find a way to keep things that way...and that begins with a job. So, that has been my primary focus this last week. Hopefully, I will have something good to report about this later today, as this is the largest stress factor in my life right now....it would feel good to not have to worry about it anymore!!!!

I almost forgot!!!!!!




One more symptom of my carb-a-rama week has returned!!!!!!

































My lovely, long, huge, loud farts have returned!!!!!! They are really quite nice!!!!! They always get a laugh, they only sometimes talk back, they can be swooshed away when needed, and they are free (no coupons needed)!!!! I, actually missed them!!!!!
