Girlfriend, had Y2K been a bad time, you would have been the barter QUEEN!!

Jan, What type of thyroid meds are you on? Are you Hypo- or Hyperthyroid? Diabetes and hypothyroidism frequently go together. You might try out the chat forum at http://thyroid.about.com. Post questions or search the old messages for diabetes or the name of the drug you've been asked to take. They are very knowledgeable and very helpful at that site. Having your thyroid condition treated at the OPTIMUM levels, improves any other health condition you may also be dealing with. Most of the people in this country with thyroid disease are undertreated or are being treated with inappropriate meds.

I'm so happy for you MM!!

Just thought I'd pop in to say HI!!!!

Looks like I've only got 4 miles this week. I'm really off to a bad start this year. I've been traveling a lot for my job and I hurt my knee lugging suitcases around the airport.....I can't even walk on the treadmill at the hotels where I'm staying. The knee is almost healed, but the weather sure doesn't help. (gripe, gripe, gripe)

Snow, glad you found out what was causing the dizziness. I've been worried about you. (((hug))) I LOVE my chiropractor. I used to have "back attacks" every 3 or 4 months. My former chiro (and the MD's) said there was nothing we could do about it, my new guy fixed me and has kept me pain free for 2 years now. The right one can do great things for your health.

Happy Girl, there's not much I can add, except that I wholeheartedly agree with Cat's comment that what Grandma REALLY taught your daughter is that you can trust Grandma to put your hand to a hot stove! You might mention that if something similar comes up again........"yes, you've taught her the stove is hot and you've also taught her that Grandma will hurt her for no apparent reason."

I finally managed to download the program at work onto a disk. Then I got it loaded onto my home computer. Phew! Sure am glad to be back!

Hope you're feeling better soon Snow!

We were out earlier today......good thing we didn't know it was a level 3 snow emergency and we could have gotten a ticket for being on the roads! We're in for the rest of the day. Got plenty of kero for the heaters, DH is working on my new closet (if he doesn't finish soon I may just board him up inside and forget about it!) We have plenty of fresh salad fixins since I shopped a few days ago and the usual canned stuff. I'm supposed to drive two hours tomorrow and go to a meeting at our company HQ.......doesn't look like THAT's gonna happen!

Is it just me?? Senwolf, First time I tried your site I had to download something to view it...so I figured OK.....now my browser keeps getting redirected to something called xupiter. I tried your site again and it wanted me to download something called "Gator"............

I can count 7 miles for the week ending 01/04. ------------------

Thank you Ginger. That was wonderful. (((((Hugs to everybody))))) ------------------

My grandfather was called Lee. My sister's middle name is Lee and we have a male cousin named Lee. It was interesting to get my Grandfather's birth cert. becaused we always thought his first name was Lee and middle name Ander or Andrew. It turns out his name was Leander and it was a family name passed down from a great or GG Uncle. Every couple of generations or so we have a Leander going back a few hundred years. My middle name is Ann and I have an aunt named Ann. It turns out my G Grandmother, who died when Grandpa was a baby was Polly Ann. ------------------

Oh man!! You had to go and mention that hot sticky weather! I am very sensitive to temperature due to my thyroid. Last summer (when I was behaving myself diet-wise) was the first summer I remember enjoying EVER......I definitely have to get back on the wagon! ------------------

Thank you for expressing this Darlene. I think it's important. ------------------

I'm so glad she got the card. I will write her again when we know if she's still being held or is being allowed to go home. ------------------

I have really thick hair. I love it short but have a hard time actually getting them to cut it short enough. I keep telling them I want it short but still feminine and it keeps coming out shoulder length. The other thing I noticed is that no matter what I ask for, or how many pictures I take in the stylist always ends up after about 3 appointments cutting it the same way she wears her own hair. Soooooo.........now I have a stylist with the haircut I always wanted and I'm finally happy with my hair!! Momo, you have beautiful, shiny hair. I'll bet it looks just great in your new do! (I was lucky enough to meet Momo when she drove throu my town a couple of years ago!) ------------------ [This message has been edited by Goose Liver (edited January 05, 2003).]

Happy Girl, you can post whatever resolutions you want to post. I'm easy. LOL Besides, health is more than calories, carbs, pounds, weights, repetitions & cardio burn. Your resolutions look pretty healthy to me! ------------------

Well, personally I am celebrating the fact that I ONLY gained TWO pounds over the Holidays. Believe me, I do NOT deserve to get off so lightly! ------------------ [This message has been edited by Goose Liver (edited January 04, 2003).] [This message has been edited by Goose Liver (edited January 04, 2003).]

Hi Wendy, Yes, we've all been deeply saddened by losing our friend Ed, and our prayers are with Peg and the rest of his family. Here is what happened. http://www.mrssurvival.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000159.html It's good to see you again. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Goose Liver (edited January 04, 2003).]

OK, we all have them, what are they?? It doesn't have to be, "I will lose 10 pounds" or "I will exercise 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week", although that's fine if that's your resolution. Tell us what you're doing this year. Are you going to park further from the mall and walk a little more?? Are you goint to eat less animal fats, like meats & dairy??? How about less fried foods??? Maybe you'll finally get the salt habit licked??? OK, I'll start: My number 1 New Year's resolution is to get processed sugar out of my diet. That's it. If I get that done this year I'm happy. Who's next?? ------------------

Today's the day you THINK about your New Years Resolution.......and you wouldn't want to start something without a LOT OF THOUGHT, so this could take a while! ------------------

Happy, Happy New Year!! ------------------

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!! ------------------
