Hi everybody

Just running in to get this started and then I'll be off and running around today.

I noticed on the Golden BB that Begete couldn't find Atkins Holiday cook book at her local Barnes and Nobel. If you are looking for it, it's in the magazine section of most grocery stores.

Shawnee, LOL on the Great Hunters. Your story brought back memories of my Dad and his buddies at the hunting cabin.

Barb, check out Begete's post on the roll call. She is hysterical over your talk of snow tire studs.

Anyhoo, see you all later.

Hi to all

Linda so glad that the cheesecake is easy to make and successful. I might make one for Thanksgiving. IT is a thought.

Ginny so true about that car ride being a sedative for the young ones. Somenights when Leah was really sick they would take her out for a car ride to get her to fall asleep. Too bad it does not work on adults the same way. One of my kids fell asleep when we were out for boat ride.

Shawnee will you be freezing up some elk from the "hunt". Were those guys in a camper or did they have a cabin? Glad that you had a "week off".

Having a problem with my BP. Started on the altace but my pressure is going up instead of down. Afternoon readings are like 180 / 110 or 120 and most afternoon readings are high just a little lower that. Doc says it takes a month but I am getting nervous about it. I have not called him and DH says give it the month. Any advice.

Back later.

Hello Gang!

Checking in agin! DH is helping DS at his warehouse today. Just tidying and reading on my agenda today. I put in some laundry, dried and folded that. Dog walking is on the agenda for later this aft to burn off some carbs.

DD sent me two new pics of Ella. They are very large and one is sideways. I dont think they know how long it takes to open them. Her DH is always so busy, I hate to ask him to shrink them.

I cant forward as I dont have your email addresses down here.
There is something that I forgot to bring with me.

Thanks for starting the thread today Linda. Yep I am not looking forward to our cold temps up there. I am not sure of the distance between us? Roger might know via mapquest or some magic tool.

Loretta, Hope you get that BP under control. Have you had anything else that may cause that rise? Sodium, stress of the reception? Glad you were able to stay with Leah.

Hope to revisit later.

SuSUN!

Hi gang,

Back on the wagon with a CRASHING hangover (I always end with a BANG!). Lord, we have dinner plans for tonight and it's going to be a maximum chore just to eat much less get to the restaurant!

Linda.
Susun is 266 miles due North (straight up Interstate 81 through Syracuse.)

I'm going to try to get some serious nap time in this afternoon. If I can drag downstairs, maybe a broiling sauna might help...or KILL me?

Thanks Roger, I wasn't sure exactly where Susan lived so I didn't use map quest. Guess it's just beyond Watertown?
Hope you got a good nap and really, really hydrated yourself.


Susan, get a free Yahoo e mail account and use the "attach files" feature. You can go to your hard drive and attach any picture you want, and Yahoo will shrink it to a manageable size.

Oh Loretta, sorry about your BP. I would call the doctor anyway just to be sure . Maybe he would have another suggestion for you. That is quite high.

That cheese cake is so easy and very versatile. I sometimes add different extracts ( lemon or orange are particularly good) or chocolate for variety. I love the fact that it freezes well too.

Playing catch up and then off to take a shower and get into my snuggies.

Thanks goodness the doc called me this afternoon. He said that is high of a bp is not right. I need to double my dose from 5 mg to 10mg. I will start tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know. I feel better already. Well less worried.

Loretta, thank heavens that doctor called you. That pressure was way too high. Hope tomorrow brings some improvement in those numbers.
