She probably just idled out. No worries. Unless you specificially log out, you stay logged in until you time out of the board.

Seriously....Maybe, all of the compliments that you'd get with that might help you get over the "picture thing"!!!!

Good Lord!! NO WAY!!!!! I think I just had a panic attack! But, thank you.

Well, they say it comes in bundles and tomorrow will be another bright day.

Thanks, Click, I needed those hugs.

Oh, Jean. I am so sorry.

Oh, BELIEVE me, that bathing suit skirt hides ALOT!! lol

Oh, and I forgot, I take Braggs ACV on weekdays. I cant handle coconut oil, so none of that for me. (I really really dont like the coconut flavor).

[*Pear*]

I'm so sorry you lost your friend, Jean.

I usually have:

B: coffee & cream, sometimes egg salad
L: cheesy mexican bake
D: meat, different types, sometimes salad, etc.
S: ice cream bar sometimes or cheese

I sleep in on weekends (til 9 or 10), on weekdays I'm up at 5:45. I go to bed around 9 or 10pm.

Are you taking your vitamins? I havent started. (shame on me) Are you still taking the ones with the iron? Maybe you could switch to a centrum silver or something.

I don't know...Pear.

Yes, I'm still taking my vitamins...and I switched to the "Silver" variety...after the discussion with Jean.

Is it possible that my hands and face are more wrinkley due to the puffiness disappearing?

That still doesn't explain my eyes?

Suuuuuure doesn't sound like I am glowing with health though.

I wish that I could say the same. I hope that you, or someone here can tell me what might be wrong with me.

My youngest told me that I look smaller in the face, but my eyes look tired, juicey, and crazed. (Oh yah...and the dark circles are worse!!!) He, also, mentioned that my face and hands look more wrinkley....he blamed this on our moving here. I thought...geez "Thanks". Remember me mentioning that kids are naturally honest? Sometimes...I wish that they weren't.

Have you had your Thyroid Checked? I don't know... I do know that "Stress" does awful things to a person's body/skin etc. I used to look really young for my age. I had a bunch of Crap hit the fan all at once. Mike was in the battle of Fallujah for the Month of Nov and I didn't know if he was alive or dead. My Mother (who was estranged) got Lung Cancer and I was the only one who would take care of her (so she wouldn't go into a nursing home) and I was also dealing with a family member who had addictions. There were some other things too (but to long to go into). Anyways... I lived through it, but I aged about 10 years!! Stress is awful and really takes it's toll.

You are beautiful...Tooter!!!! Inside and out!!!!

Did you notice the line from "Field's of Dreams"...with a twist?

*Post it...and they will come!!!!*

[*Pear*]

Agreed, stress really takes a toll on you. I'm sure I aged 10 years when hubby was going through immigration.

Are you getting enough calories?

[*Pear*]

Smoking ages you as well.

The last time that the Doctor checked my thyroid, it was border line hypo-thyroidism. He wouldn't treat it. That's, also, when he sent me to the sleep specialist...for my sleep analysis.

My eyes ARE "juicier" than they used to be though. I thought that it was from all of the water.

So, you think that it is just all of the stress from everything?

*scared look* It's legal...isn't it?


Arse, Arse, Arsity....Arse!!!!!

Hey...Hippie!!!

Are your eyes tired looking, juicey, and crazed?

[*Pear*]

As you requested.

[*Pear*]

I vote for losing water weight, Click. Your face isnt so puffy so its more wrinkly.

Maybe you could try the oil pulling for your facial care. I'd recommend Mary Kay, but its spendy and Coconut oil is probably better for you anyway.

[*Pear*]

Battery is low, I'll go off for awhile.

Be back later.

Tooter and Pear, thank you for your care and support, I appreciate it.

Click, I'm sorry, I didn't see your messages til I came back on tonight. You are always here with such concern for me and others and I love you for it.

I'm just happy to see that you're alright!!!!

[*Pear*]

Thanks Click. It is easier to see side by side. I hope the next me goes on there soon at 200.

I just did two miles on my trampoline... phew! I'm sweating.

Click, did you take a picture "before" and can you take a picture now?

[*Pear*]

Oh, and I pulled out my size 18 khakis from the back of my closet and they all fit perfectly. The one size 16 I have left doesnt fit yet.
