Hey Trish...... My pooch came running over to me frantic, pacing and going in circles yesterday.......he wanted me to flush the toilet, he drank both of them dry . He was fine after that. We have a stream that runs beside the house, he will wade there but for some reason he likes to drink out of the toilet. Silly BOY !!!!

[michelemomof2]

Just a quick post....what a gorgeous day it was! I ran a lot of errands and then came home and did laundry and hung out on the line...nice light wind to dry the clothes...love it!

DH and I leave tomorrow to drive up to IUP to get DD's stuff. She will come home next Friday with the remaining items in her car (I hope it all fits!). It is supposed to be in the 80's here all weekend and Monday, as well. Can't wait. We will open the pool on Sunday.

Chic - I know this was a couple pages back, but your movie prices are insane. I thought ours was high at $9/person. I will have to log onto Facebook and check out what you sent to me. LOL

Metqa - Sorry the kitty went elsewhere. I hope you get a new little one all to yourself.

Trish - I already stopped the combo. Not intentionally, just so much going on I kept forgetting to take them.

ADLMA - Hi pack-rat-sista!

to everyone else. Have to get ready for our trip tomorrow.

[yodie]

Hi everyone. I'm new to this board.

Is everyone losing the weight with just CLA/GLA? I currently take CLA but maybe I'll try GLA. I'm 150 lbs and I'd like to get down to 138.

Thanks.

[kycowgirl]

welcome to the thread yodie . This seems to work better with the GLA (borage oil). It works better on those with more to lose but it should work for you too. keep us posted on how its doing for you please

[kycowgirl]

Michele, 'sssssssss good to see your still hanging in there. is your DD out of college now or just for the summer? Its going to be in the 80's here the next few days too and I am lovin it !!!!

I keep forgetting my cla/gla too lately . I am used to taking it at 6am when I got off work and since I am not working, I forget

[metqa]

It's supposed to be 90 degrees tomorrow.

Sorry you got lost Trish.

Michelle, Dont be sad. the kitty will have a great life and less likely to be run over. I will have a new kitty soon if my old lady remembers me

I'm not on the combo right now, I'm back to trying to actively lose weight so I'm just a floater right now.

Phil, I wish I had a place to have a square foot garden in peace. SFG is so easy it's ridiculous.

Welcome Vodie!

[kycowgirl]

Toms going to let me use his cell phone upgrade May 3rd to get an Iphone, so I'll have access to GPS then . i'll never get lost again !!!!

[metqa]

GPS is cool. It's funny when a road has been changed and it thinks I'm driving into the mountains and tells me to get back onto the road!

[kycowgirl]

hey mikki !!!

Good to see you check in. For my update, I am layed-off till at least the end of the year "they say" (its contract time) and our new truck has 5 more years to pay on it too . I started going to the tanning bed a couple times so I can get a base tan before we go to Florida in May. I am sure we will be on the golf course 3 times a day and in the pool everyday so i dont want to burn up. We are trying to consolidate and refinance too, but with me being layed off, that may fall through
Congrats on maintaining your weight

When I think back on some of the stuff we did in my younger years, I am surprised I am still here lol

Well my little town has made national news today:

3 dead, 2 hurt in Ga. shooting; professor sought - Yahoo! News

By HARRY R. WEBER, Associated Press Writer Harry R. Weber, Associated Press Writer – 33 mins ago

ATHENS, Ga. – Authorities were on a nationwide manhunt for a University of Georgia professor in the shooting deaths of three people, including his ex-wife, Saturday at a community theater near campus.

Athens-Clarke County Police Capt. Clarence Holeman said authorities were searching for a suspect, 57-year-old George Zinkhan, who has been a marketing professor at the university in Athens since the 1990s, and lived about seven miles from campus.

Killed were Zinkhan's ex-wife, Marie Bruce, 47, Tom Tanner, 40, and Ben Teague, 63, Holeman said. Both men were involved with Town & Gown Players Inc., a local theater group in Athens, about 70 miles east of Atlanta.

The shooting happened outside the Athens Community Theater during a midday gathering of the theater group. Holeman said the shooter left his two young children in the car when he opened fire on the group. A neighbor of Zinkhan's in nearby Bogart said the professor later dropped off the children with him next door and left after saying there was an emergency. The children were with police.

Shortly after the incident, the university issued a campus-wide alert as a precaution. Authorities searched Zinkhan's office, but there were no immediate signs of him on campus.

The group's performance Saturday night of "Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure" was canceled. Tanner, who was among the dead, was set to play Dr. John Watson in the play.

Athens-Clarke County Coroner Sonny Wilson said the three victims were shot multiple times. Two other people were injured by shrapnel and their conditions were not immediately known.

Two different guns were involved in the shooting, and neither was recovered at the scene, Holeman said. Investigators searched Zinkhan's two-story colonial in a tidy middle-class suburb of Athens, but did not find the two weapons, Holeman said.

Authorities issued a nationwide alert for Zinkhan and his 2005 red Jeep Liberty. Authorities learned that Zinkhan has a house in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and were keeping a lookout at airports, Holeman said.

"Anyone who shoots three people is dangerous, that's the best way I can put it," Holeman said.

Holeman said there were no confirmed sightings of Zinkhan and that the professor had not used his credit card or ATM to the best of their knowledge. Also, police in Austin, Texas, have been alerted since Zinkhan has family there, Holeman said.

"We're doing everything we can to shut him down," Holeman said. "I believe he will turn up somewhere, somehow."

Holeman said the shooter had argued with at least one of the victims prior to the shooting. After walking away, the shooter returned at some point with the guns and opened fire. Police said they received a call of a shooting at the theater about 12:25 p.m.

Neighbor Robert Covington said Zinkhan dropped his son and daughter off at his house after noon. Zinkhan asked the Covingtons to watch the children for about an hour and then left. Covington described Zinkhan and Bruce as still living together in the house.

Covington said when he asked Zinkhan's daughter, who is about 10 years old, about the emergency "all she would relate to me was there was something about a firecracker."

Police later took the children, along with Covington's wife, to the police station, Covington said.

Zinkhan was quiet and introverted, but Covington said would never suspect something like the shootings.

"It's a pretty huge shock," Covington said.

Dana Adams lives across the street, but said she didn't know Zinkhan well. She described him as "kind of a strange character," who would sometimes walk off in the middle of a conversation. "But I would never suspect this," Adams said.

She said SWAT teams had swarmed the neighborhood and police had hidden in her backyard. Covington called his neighborhood "police central."

Zinkhan has been a professor in the Terry College of Business, university spokesman Pete Konenkamp said. He didn't have any disciplinary problems.

"His track record is impeccable as far as his teaching credentials," Konenkamp said. "He's a respected professor on campus."

Bruce was a well-respected attorney in Athens who loved the theater and recently directed a production of "Trip to Bountiful," said Wesley Cook who knew Bruce through the theater company, where Cook's girlfriend performed.

"She was very lively and charming and was an integral part of that theater community," Clark said.

According to the Georgia Bar, Bruce graduated from the University of Georgia's law school and specialized in family law. She moved to Athens in 1980 from Augusta, where she performed in school and church shows, according to a 2002 profile of her in the Athens Banner-Herald in 2002.

Bruce taught high school and college before deciding to attend law school. With the theater group, she worked as a set designer and also a director.

Athens attorney Ed Tolley said he knew Bruce well and had been involved with cases with her. He said she primarily handled divorce cases.

"She was a wonderful person," Tolley said, "Red-headed, very attractive, very professional, and a wonderful mother."

He said he lives close to Bruce's home and saw a police helicopter over the neighborhood earlier in the day.

"When I heard that one (of the victims) was a lawyer whose husband was a professor at UGA I was afraid it was her," Tolley said. "My heart breaks for the children."

Originally from Corvallis, Ore., Tanner graduated from Willamette College and went on to earn graduate degrees from Iowa State and the University of Georgia, according to his profile on Facebook.

Teague, who was married to a longtime University of Georgia professor, described himself as "a confirmed theater bum" on a Web site that bears his name. His wife was Fran Teague, a professor of English.

"For over 17 years I've spent most of my weekends (and a lot of evenings) working with a community theater company here in Athens," he wrote.

On the site, Teague said he had worked providing German to English translation services to business, industry, government and the law since 1972.

Teague said he grew up in East Tennessee and lived in Texas for several years. He moved to Athens in 1977.

Before joining the faculty at the University of Georgia, Zinkhan held academic positions at the universities of Houston and Pittsburgh. He has a doctorate from the University of Michigan and graduated from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania in 1974.

Tom Reichert, a professor at the University of Georgia Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, knew Zinkhan from around the campus.

"This is a total shock," Reichert said. "I wouldn't say he was particularly vivacious or particularly quiet. He was right down the middle."

[kycowgirl]

thanks - I plan too. I can say I have been more regular since starting the combo. I am assuming that is one of the benefits!?

[kycowgirl]

Its great for your skin, hair and nails too. My hair and nails grow like crazy when I am taking this combo

[kycowgirl]

metqa, just saw that story on the news

[metqa]

Yeah, I had to call my mom before she flipped out. she's like: Lock your doors, don't let anybody in. . . .Sheesh, I know that mom,

[kycowgirl]

Sounds like me with my daughter !!

[commando]

Hi ladies! I have been on the combo now for exactly three weeks and have yet to see any results I have been taking is faithfully (I missed one day though) and I double and triple checked that I'm taking the right amount, I think I might even be a little bit over. I'm really wondering if I should stick with it (it's a lot of pills to take!) or if I should try something else. I'm exercising every day and watching what I eat, although pizza has snuck in there a few days but I was really hoping to see great results after reading all of your posts. I'm kind of bumbed out right now and wondering if I should continue on?

Thanks for letting me vent!

[kycowgirl]

commando, dont get discouraged. The research says it could take up to 12 weeks to see results. I dont know anyone that its taken that long with though. I would try it for another month before i gave it up, but thats gotta be your decision . Have you gained any weight back since taking it. I have an occasional cheat meal and I either do not gain any back, or actually lose a couple the next couple days. The way it works for me (and I get discouraged too) is I will stall for a couple weeks, then have a really good "whoosh", so the wait is worth it to me

[metqa]

I'm not taking it now but when I did take It I noticed a slight lessening in my measurements. And I'd have to go back to check but I think I admitted to lots of bad eating and not very low carb either, so it was contradictory for my measures to drop.

I still have mine and will start taking it again once I get to goal. I hope it helps me get more the shape I want to be also.

Commando, you are good to have taken it so flawlessly for so long. I would always forget several times a week! I really do hope you see results from it and won't think it was a wasted venture.

One thing I hope the combo doesn't do----- make my hair grow I have to cover up the gray soon enough now....


Okay.... I have done one month of the combo and I am sad to say.... Nothing, no changes. Two weeks ago I up the Borage Oil to 2 capsules at night. I also take 2 GLA capsules during the day.


I feel like my Hyster last year has DESTROYED my metabolism. UGGGG
