It is 10 above in ON today. I think this may be our last warm stretch. We will be dipping below 0 soon. I watch the weather network almost every morning and saw pics of AB. Keep warm.

It is minus 20 right now. Just shoveled again!! going to stay warm inside and wrap a few gifts!!

Hope you are staying warm and able to surface out of the snow!

Oh yeah!! Perfect timing for a weight loss, a cruise!! We only ever did the one cruise, it was just the best! Now I like being a homebody, no travel " bug " in me at all! lol

Finally my LD stack is up on the brag section. Take a look. It was fun but I was nervous too.

Ya, my Christmas minimization is really to minimize offending anyone (I have a couple friends who have already vocalized their anti-Christmas before Nov. 12). I too respect veterans, but have been thinking about Christmas prep constantly since Nov. 1. I am not publicly sharing my Christmas spirit with these friends until later in the season. That is okay though, I am warming up and then the Grinchies will get National Lampoon out of me.

Happy Halloween! My LD stack will be up tomorrow. Thought I had more time today but between Halloween parade that went long and getting a quick supper together I am all out of time. The kids are so excited for Trick or Treating. We are off to the mall after schools out

Will cross my fingers for snow in your neck of the woods. You have a busy December!

I'd just love for a white birthday (Dec 22nd) & Christmas! Nevermind white halloween. Although have never heard of one of those.

Have great weekend I am back to work, looking forward to the weekend!

I'm having a wonderful day thanks
It's actually warm here today...but the temperature is supposed to drop drastically tomorrow...that's how people get sick.

Any way, I'm off for.
Have a great weekend!

...and it's great having new people posting in the game room
see you next week.
Dan-o

Well hello to you too. Hope your having a great day. I should be working but it's a snowy depressing day here!!

thanks, but it was also a stupid amount to have gained in the first place! I just went through hell with mentalpause. It started feeling great when I could tie my shoes without groaning! lol

You are preaching to the choir! ( that menopause did a number on me as well. ) I have lost over 50 since April but I want to lose 20-25 more. I love this sc incentive to " get er done! " before Christmas. Good luck with it as well!

Thanks for repping me! Happy Wednesday!

Tarzan, haha. Great story, put a smile on my face.

Happy Labour Day!! School starts tomorrow for the kids

oh enjoy the lake!! I will imagine myself near one too, lol. Empty nest you say? With this economy, I will likely never get the last 2 out on their own. lol.

thanks. I feel like I am inconveniencing him sometimes when I ask. Silly really. In other words it is if I am assuming he has no plans for his weekend, lol.

You enjoy yours as well. So hoping DS#1 comes to visit, fingers crossed.

Thanks for the well-wishes. It is indeed quite the battle, and as I mentioned, it's always there in the darker corners of my mind. I am thankful everyday, though, that those dark corners are much smaller than they used to be and that I've got the support of my partner, friends and family in this. I'm sure that your support is a huge help for your daughter as well; love and support make all the difference when what's going on on the inside is scary and painful!

10 years?? Oh Lordy, and I thought these last 6 were bad on me! lol

Well Thank you so much very much appreciated and I look forward to returning the kindness
and
I repeat you are a DARLING!

Nutty Madam gave me a few good laughs last night. God bless her whether she is for real or not. She may be insane but is bringing many joy even if it is a little bit at her own expense (I just hope she knows that).

thanks so much thriftygranny, Mmmmm, I hear seafood and a little melted butter calling me!! and maybe a bit o dessert! lol

Happy anniversary congratulations that's a milestone, enjoy every minute of your diet free weekend.
