Good Morning All,

Tikanas, happy belated birthday!! It sounds like a great one and I wish you a year of happiness and contentment.

Maddie, I love your diet plans!! Sounds great.

Raeanne and DeeMarie, I am very flexible right now so if you want to put a plan together I will be there. Are we thinking Saratoga? I don't know where the place Dee mentioned. Let's put our heads together via email. September is right around the corner now.

Nantucket was great. The boat and staff were wonderful. Friday night I got a call from my sister older Skye that lives in NH, telling me that my mother had another heart attack and that she had been diagnosed with the onset of Alzheimers. This is the first time we have had any communication with her for four years. It's too bizarre to go into here but suffice it to say that nothing has changed. My mother is living with my little sister and made it clear to us that we were not welcome to visit her there! It's a mess and there isn't a whole lot I can do about any of it. It's making me feel sad and it just churns up old wounds. In the end, this is my mothers choice and unless she wants to change it, it won't! It's sad but I truly believe that my little sister is mentally ill. I know she is addicted.

My trip to northern VT was spectacular. The area is very remote and it's terrain is hilly and rolling green pastures and forest. The pastures roll up and up to the skys and everywhere is a magnificent vista of green grass as far as you can see dotted with dark green forest of spruce. This is an area where your horses must be in primo condition to do the hills. Some of the hills we drove in carriage were over two miles long! Long and steep, up and down. Our camp was in a gravel pit that the owner reclaimed and made a beautiful grassy park with two ponds. It is just beautiful and is teaming with wildlife. Each night we were seranded by the coyotes who were very near. The moon was full and it would rise large and orange over one of the ponds. It was really pretty and I would move there in a heartbeat if there were a way to make a living!! We went for a moonlight ride on Friday night which was really fun. It was just incredible.

Okay, back to reality!! I am going to get my trailer clean and get things back in order. I will be back.

NH Suzanne, Sorry about your family issues going on right now. I will keep you in my thoughts.
What a wonderful trip you had. Sounds just beautiful. What precautions do you take regarding the wildlife (wolves, coyotes, bears...etc.) Does someone keep a fire going all night or are you in cabins????

Anyone else see the last episode of six feet under. If not, it will air again sometime this week. It is a must see. It was AWESOME!!!!!! Complete closure. I cried and cried. I will sure miss that show.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Lynn

Hello Suzanne! I'm here, just trying to get through a frustrating week with some inner-ear/dizzyness problems, which makes it difficult to finish projects in a timely fashsion at work. I was down another pound this morning. That makes about 6 1/2 pounds since February 20. I'm very pleased with that, but need to add much more exercise. It was difficult getting walking in this week (with the dizziness), but I did it. Don't know if I mentioned this, but I've not been to our fitness center in over a month because I hated the way my (old, ratty) yoga clothes fit me. Yesterday I stopped at the Kohl's sale (with an additional 30% off coupon!) and found 2 pair of yoga pants and a top that fit and look nice. Looks like if I feel good enough, I'll be stopping by the center more often. It's just that there are many young women there; its a corporate center with people (and MEN!) that I work with. I was too ashamed to be seen in such tight, faded clothes......I'm sure you all know how I feel about this. Anyway, it's a new start, so I'm ready when my ear stuff clears up. Enough about me! How is everyone? Ready for the weekend? Ready for spring? OK, let's get moving. MIA's---COME OUT AND SAY HELLO! Thanks! Dee

Amy posted on last weeks thread, here it is - so that it isn't missed: Posted by: aamylynne (My Page) on Thu, Aug 5, 04 at 16:29 Hi all, I come by and check but don't read everything. I see Marci and Dee said hi, and maybe others have, too. My family's left. I don't know if I mentioned it, but they were successful in their attempt to set up swimming with the dolphins. I couldn't go to that, but did get to swim in the ocean. That's not something I can ordinarily do because of my illness and disabilities. I tried to post a couple of days ago, but everything that came out sounded upset and I didn't want to scare anyone. :) I've been ill the last few days. I talked to my doctor and she said it sounds like viral meningitis. That's the mild kind, not the kind that can leave a person brain damaged or dead, so its nothing to worry about, just uncomfortable - who needs more pain and fatigue. I might go in to her office tomorrow. Tropical Storm Celia went by here yesterday. She was a hurricane a few days ago, but diminished. There was thunder and lightning and heavy rain and winds, but nothing too damaging. Just enough excitement but not too much. I've got into anime for reasons I won't go into. I ordered Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. Has anyone here seen it? Does anyone know or remember the song by Don McLean, "Chain Lightning?" I've always liked that song. Very dramatic. My internet relationship, which I talked about earlier, is still going strong - seven months now. I said that he is very unhappy and troubled, which is still true, but he has turned out to be also very caring, intelligent, and sweet. I hope we can continue to be friends for a long time, and I hope his situation improves for him. I've been reading about the get together next year. Remember, I'd like a video. :) I know that it will be a blast. It's nice to come here and have this group. You are such a loving bunch where all are welcome. There have been so many ups and downs, but people are always supportive and caring. Love to you, thanks for remembering me, and I hope everyone has a good day. I'm not spending as much time here as I was, which may change (who knows) but I won't get lost. It's been so frustrating to me when others that I care about quit posting and then I never know how they are doing. Also I've asked my son to let people here know if anything happens to me so that everyone won't be wondering. He knows how important this group has been to me. Amy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RE: SS Support Mon. July 26th thru Sunday August 1st Posted by: aamylynne (My Page) on Thu, Aug 5, 04 at 16:36 I want to add that for my eating plan, I've been trying to do WW points with low carb (under 75-80). Eating certain carb foods makes me unable to stay in the point range. Even fruits are difficult to manage. My garden is doing well, though my income is still low. No additional weight loss, but trying to stay stable. I'm better off then I was 3 years ago, when I started SS.

Hi goils! Gosh--how great to see all of the posts!!! :):) Tikanas-- great questions! It's been a looong time since we've done this, so here goes: 1) My interests/hobbies are: reading, HERE, junk rooting, auctions (whodathunk??), crossstitch, and I love my hairy 24 pound cat! :) 2) Well, I am an accountant by degree, but I have recently had the good forture to become a fulltime auctioneer, which I just love! 3) No kids, unless you count the hairball and hubby! LOL! 4) I am 41, and feel like 17 most days! :):):) I've been posting here since late '98, and these are the greatest ladies! I've had the pleasure to meet BJ, KYSusieQ and Zig, and they are all just as lovelt in person as they are here. :) And I just bought an old battered copy of the 5 Little Peppers several weeks ago--and sat down and read it--talk about memories! :) Lynn--((((hugs))) and treats to Simon--my 24 pounder wasn't quite that big at a year, so your purrball is going toi be huge-- :):) Things have gotten interesting here--I've told you all about my first auction that is coming up on 9/12--well the %@#$%!! that has the real estate option is acting like a $%@#%!! and is threating to sue my @ss. I'm not sure just exactly why, since I am just selling the personal property of the lady's. I suspect he knows he has a shadey deal, and now, he is threating the old lady as well. I'd like to...well.... I don't know what to do--Raeanne--any ideas? Gotta go--tomorrow's a long day--we're working a flea market over the weekend and Monday, so it will be a busy one for me!

Good Morning. Besh - sorry about your friend. I had an immediate member of my family attempt suicide and it was a very traumatic experience. I can relate to your friend and his family. Very deep issues. Suzanne - Your night out to the theatre and dinner sounds like my kind of night. Where is BJ, I haven't read a post from her. I pretty much caught up from my mia months. QOD: We will have a low key Thanksgiving. My DH's mother and sister are visiting us now since Wednesday and they leave the day prior to Thanksgiving, so we have been having special dinners and going out to eat quite a bit. So I may just make soup and salad for Thanksgiving dinner -- hahahahhahaha. I made a turkey breast yesterday and it was YUMMERS. I hear them in the kitchen now making a italian cookie/biscuit my MIL used to make my husband when he was younger. Oh such happiness -- brings a tear to my eye. GMWAS (Gag me with a spoon). (wink wink) I know my DH is enjoying every minute of it. We drove to he east coast of Florida on thursday and went to a Bloomingdales. I love it. We do not have any here on the west coast(at least that I know of). So my husband bought me a Dooney and Burke purse (which he did a year ago this time when they came down for a visit) So you can bet your bottom dollar that I am hoping this is a yearly thing. Patti - my parents also celebrated their 50th anniversary last month. My husband and I threw them a party at a party center in Ohio (where I am from)and had 130 people there with a band. It was quite a challenge organizing it from Florida. Plus my mom gave her input too.....so... I took a lot of deep breaths and went forward the entire time. I had a blast. A good time was had by all and it was worth all the effort and aggravation just to see how happy it made my parents. We even had my cousin who is an Catholic Deacon renew their vows. Not a dry eye in the joint at that point. Man this is a long post. I better save some for tomorrow. Take care everyone..... Lynn

Here's my comments from KT:

"75 minutes of beautiful stories, acting, scenery, and music. What insight (clearing up the future of these characters); what a joy to watch; what class. I've taped it and will watch it again and again.

Bravo again to HBO."

Hello,

((((Suzanne)))) I'm so sorry about your family troubles. It is so difficult sometimes to deal with family issues. We go through alot with DH's side, I find myself just tuning it all out. I'm glad that both of your adventures were great. We have coyotes out behind our house and they scare me. They howl for a good part of the night and sometimes it just sounds so violent to me. The other night was especially bad and we found out the next day that they had killed a neighbors dog. So tragic.

Magickitty, I have never watched that show, but I subscribe to Netflix so I may start watching the series over the winter. Sounds like a must see.

DH and I and several others run a Jimmy Buffett Dock Party at the Yacht Club we belong to. It was this past weekend and was a grand success. We try and make it a family event as well and the kids love it. Games, prizes, cheeseburgers and Margaritas (for the BIG kids). It was a great day, but glad it is done!

Have a wonderful day. I am still cleaning my house and doing some serious Feng Shui (Raeanne!). I have to tell you, it really works. DH and I won $150. in the Flip Flop Toss (kind of like the cow flap lottery if anyone is familiar with that) at the JB party. A lot of subtle things have been happening, and all for the good!

Love, Besh

Hi goils!

Well, it's late monday night, and I am still standing (I think--I've lost all feeling below the waist; I may be horizontal for all I know!! LOL) Yep, we sold out this morning ,but we placed orders with several suppliers that will be overnighted, and we'll have them tomorrow. unreal! :)

We're having a good time, though--the folks across form us are from Down Under, and they are a riot--the guy next to us is cooking all of the time, and he keeps feeding us, so that's good. Free, hot food--life is *good*! Although, I've managed to follow my new and improved "Cr@ppy Food Diet" with MUCH sucess; I've ate at least one corn dog a day since last Thursday, and I see no reason to break my streak. I've also gotten into pizza, taters, corn, ice cream and...oh, yeah... beer. (Makes the day go faster! LOL)

NHSuzanne--The Saddlebreds are in for the World Championship Horse Show--O.M.G. they are sooooo beautiful! Tack and horse stuff vendors are everywhere, and I wish so bad you were here-- they do a public workout at 9am in Freedom hall, and what a treat! I can watch them for hours---makes me smile just thinking of them! :)

Gotta go--these poor, comotse dawgs are going to bed!

Hugs,

Maddie

Good Morning All for cool and gorgeous New Hampshire! It's lovely and clear her this morning, no humidity!

Maddie, yes, the Saddlebreds are really lovely with thier long and swan-like necks. I am glad that you are getting to enjoy watching them. The workouts in the morning are the best as far as I am concerned. You really get to watch the true essence of the horse then.

Lynn, we don't take any precautions with the wildlife. They aren't trying to hurt us and we don't fear them. We are out in thier home and respect that always. These animals fear humans, rightfully so.

Besh, it's tragic about your neighbors dog. It makes me so sad that there is this constant struggle between wildlife trying to survive in constant urban expansion over their habitat. Coyotes in particular have adapted so well to urban sprawl and have become despised and misunderstood. It makes me sad. They can't help it they have babies to feed too. Around here, barn cats are a rare because the coyotes keep the population down along with mice, rats and other small rodents. You shouldn't fear them, they fear you!

Raeanne and DeeMarie tell me your thoughts on a meeting soon please.

Have to run and get something useful done around here this morning!

Jen - Happy Birthday, as always I will leave the singing to Maddie and Dee - I wouldn't do that to you on your birthday. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and a year filled of wishes that all come true. Thanks for being such a great sister and for giving us 2 beautiful nieces.

Maddie - sounds like you fit right in at that show LOL. I'm sure the hard work will be worth it.

DeeMarie/Suzanne - I will e-mail you!

Tikanis - we need a BJ siting update.

Marci - you keep outdoing yourself with the gifs. When do you go in for your surgery? I know you this time of year you start to count the days - make the most of each of them.

Besh - it amazes me that decluttering always works - it makes way for new and better things. I need to feng shui my room and our den (which becomes a catchall for anything we don't know what to do with). The JB party sounded like a lot of fun.

It's my day off and I need to get a lot of errands done (not to speak of chores YUCK) - a very pretty day, so I think I will opt for outdoor things first.

Do you know what CD was playing during Claire's car ride? I loved it. By the way you sound lovely this morning and I haven't had a drink (yet) LOL.

Oh, Suzanne, you must rent the DVD and start watching this wonderful show about fantasies, life, and death. Spellbinding for me. HBO is truly ground-breaking with a huge set of b@lls when it comes to innovation and programming.

Raeanne, thank you for the compliment on my singing. I guess this is a shout out to Maddie to loosen up those vocal chords and jump in here, lest I take away the title uncontested. lmao!!

Marci, I too enjoyed that cake. Yummmmmmmy. Why isn't junk food low calorie? Why won't someone tell us that the best diet is one that includes loads of pizza, bread dipped in olive oil, and birthday cake? Perhaps on Mars or the Moon???????

Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP! (even when faced with pretty birthday cake)

Dee - Is the booze for you and Maddie or for those of us judging the singing! LOL I figured at least that slice of cake didn't have any calories. We went to Bravo! for my birthday lunch. I absolutely love their bread and dipping oil. I could eat that and a salad and leave happy. (Of course I did "force" myself to eat a piece of Tiramisu. lol)

Maddie - Glad to hear that you are selling out of everything. Is this your jewelry line or do you sell other things too?

NHSuzanne - It is a beautiful day here in PA too. Nice breeze, no humidity and highs in the 70s. Can it possibly last? I hope you are able to resolve your differences with your sister so that you can visit your Mom.

Raeanne - I am counting down the days. We take DD back to school on Saturday. Then I have to get my presurgical (is that a word?) testing done and my surgery is on 8/31. I start back to school on 9/2. The kids will come back on the 8th and 9th, so we have lots of time to get the room put back together. We got new floors, a new ceiling and light fixtures and they painted the walls during the summer. The room is still torn up and we will need extra time to get it "kid friendly" again.

Besh - When do you start back? I went to the library last week and knew that I wouldn't have time to read very much once I am done with the books I got. My TBR list is still large, but I put a nice dent in it this summer. My favorite book I read recently has to be A Prayer for OWEN MEANY.

Jen - I hope you are having a wonderful day and that you get to do something special just for you!

I'll check in again later,

Jen, I've enjoyed you though all of these years, and I've loved watching you with your beautiful daughters. I wish you a year filled with love and joy--you deserve nothing less than the best! :):)

Marci--well, we don't have our normal jewelry line at the show this time. we applied with the jewelry, but the fair board said there were too many jewelry booths already (???? Yeah--booth selling dogtags with 'Possession of Bobby' on them--ugh!), so we brought in tons of LED belt buckles and LED accessories, and that's what sold out. We also have the sunglasses and reading glasses with us, and the horse folks are going nuts over them. A stable owner came to us today and wanted to buy a huge quanity of an item we just sold out on. :( I wish I'd have known; we could have overnighted them. I am going to try tomorrow morning, but I don't think this is going to work b/c the delivery chage would be astronomical. So....

Lemme tell ya, we've seen some interesting sights. I honestly didn't think that a size 1-3 (or so) chick would actually get a double D boob job, but apparently one did. And then tatted over one pup. Gad. They looked angry, all poofed up and staring straight ahead, and not moving a lick. And what's up with tube tops?? As Dilbert would say, "AAIIEEEEEE!" And you know? The young women with the horses are (for the most part) lovely, classy and beautiful. I enjoy them. Well, all the horse people are impressive, so far. All manners, and a joy to help. It's odd, the folks that I would have preguessed as being snobby are the nicest to work for. I have egg on my face and am ashamed for thinking what I did. I know better, and did it anyway.

I've just skimmed the posts, so I'm sure i've missed stuff, and I apologize for that. I hope everyone is well--

Hugs,

Maddie

Hello Ladies,

Happy B-day Jen, I hope you had a lovely day and got some time to relax and enjoy it.

Maddie- sounds like you are busy but having a great time, I have a friend that goes nuts over led trinkets based around St Patricks day, he looks like a goofball to start out but after a few beers he appears almost normal ;) I used to enjoy corn dogs when I was able to eat them, little mustard and ketchup mixed togeter to dip them in and I was in heaven, yummay!

NHSuz- Sounds like you are enjoying whats left of summer, my GF's family has a cabin we use in VT near Barton, it is nice up there. The interesting thing about VT though is you will see a wide variety of wealth in the same towns. We would drive past run down mobile homes right next to 1/2 million dollar homes/camps. They say land is selling for 3 or 4 times its worth to people moving up from Mass and NY. Im with you on not fearing wild life, there was a black bear warning where we went camping, animals used to people make me nervous but out in the wild they will leave you alone unless they are cornered.

Im back to work after our camping trip, it was fun but wore us out. We did 43 miles in the kayaks and camped along the sandy beaches. The first day of the trip was filled with drunk college students in canoes, they kept on asking us where we fit the beer cooler in our kayaks :) The second day was a lot quieter and we logged a lot of miles so that we only had about 3 left for the last day. On the third day as soon as we got off the river for our pickup it started to pour, we jury rigged up the tent fly and called the pick up service to come get us early. They showed up, but about 5 mins down the road the guys truck died, so we had to wait on the side of the road for help.. after that we decided to take a break and get a hotel for a good nights rest and hot showers :) We stayed in North Conway and had a fantastic meal at a place called Coyote Rose. We had all kinds of interesting and delish items, ostrich, boar sausage, and New Zeland lamb chops were divine. They also served a prickly pear sorbet that was very spicy and yummy! I ate the whole thing though I probably shouldnt have. I also had a peach margarita that tasted like fresh peaches, it was a nice change from all the camp food we had for 3 days.

We then spent 2 days camping and hiking in Franconia Notch. We did a 6 mile hike up one side of the mountain and back down the other. There is a lake at the top of the mountain and a couple water falls along the way down, it was a tough hike but lovely. Of course on the way back to camp I was worn out and winded and my GF got mad at me because I wasnt chatting with her. Bah women :P it wasnt because I just hiked 6 miles and over 1500 feet of elevation that I wasnt talking, it was because I didnt care about what she had to say, you know! ;)

All and all we had a nice trip and learned a lot. We know what gear we can do without and what we need to get for next time, and have a better idea of how much food and water to bring. My compact air mat has certainly got to go and I will make the room next time for my real air mattress, my back paid for it and sleeping on the hard ground doesnt cut it anymore, im no longer a boy scout.

Other than that not a whole lot is new, this weekend its the boys time to play. We are golfing on Sat and Sunday going to a Red Soxs game. Its rare the 4 of us can all get time to spend together. With wives, kids and work keeping everyone busy this will be a treat.

I hope everyone is having a good week, come out and say hello if you are lurking!

Good Morning All,

John, sounds like you had a great time camping! I love the lakes region of NH. I was camping very near Conway in July in Chocoura, just beautiful. Don't you just LOVE a great meal after camping a few days! I drove through the Franconia Notch this weekend on my way back from Danville, VT and thought of you out there somewhere! You are right about northern VT. The land is so rich and beautiful and there is alot of abject poverty parked right next door to a 5,000 sq ft trophy house. It's strange and sad to me. I hate to see that beautiful land get chopped up.

It's another beautiful, cool, dry day here and I am going to get out early to enjoy it.

I will check in later and hope that the MIA's check in.

Good Morning!

THANK YOU!!! Ladies & John. I had a wonderful day! Got back from Springfield on Tuesday nite and had a terrific package waiting for me. MagicKitty, Thank you so much. First off, was some palm tree pasta. I can't wait to try it. Next was 3 candles, which smell terrific. There was a box of powerful women note cards (which is great because I am always needing to send someone a note and never have the cards to do so) a dragon fly coaster and coffee cup, some soft key lime mints (totally out of this world, they are delicious) and last is something that MagicKitty will have to explain. They are a set of wooden ???? I can't wait to hear what they are. We have all been making guesses at what they could be. Thank you so much. I love everything.

Well, I need to get some work caught up. Have a great day and thanks again.

Good FRIDAY morning!!

QOD: What's everyone up to this weekend? I'm going to a physic party tonight with my GF. Never been to one, so this should be interesting! Our DH's are going to a ball game. The rest of the weekend will be spent in the yard and house with this and that.

Raeanne, I made a hotel reservation for Tuesday night just in case DH decides to come with me. I requested early check-in on Tuesday so we can get settled before DH drops me off to meet you and Suzanne. This is exciting! He will be fine on his own while he explores!

Do you think BJ and Tikanas got into so much trouble that they only had 1 phone call? hmmmm, I didn't see them on any network news, so they should be OK. Check in, ladies!

Hoping you all have a wonderful, healthy, safe weekend!
Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!

Hi all!

QOD--I'll be at the Fair, which is over Sunday night at 10. :) Having fun, y'all! :)

Things are great--we're exhausted, but we figured that. I got to see a couple of classes at the horse show, and one lady was thrown. She got up and seemed OK and continued on, but that was scary. We did have an interesting thing happen, though. A really nice guy that we see at one of our shows (for the past couple of Christmas seasons) came by our booth today. I know he hunted fox, but I didn't know he's one of the big stable owners in TN. Nicest guy, and he said that several of his horses have placed in different classes. How cool--:) NHSuzanne, how I wish you were here!

Well, mom seems to be the same. I am worried, and I feel like I am letting her down by not seeing her as much as I should, but at the same time, I can not cram any more into a day. I know, I'm just feeling guilty.

Gotta go--finally going home! YAH!

Hugs,

Maddie

DeeMarie - I love your answer to the QOD and hope you have a great time - did you see my e-mail? sort of ironic LOL.

QOD - Work, Work, Work. I am going to try to get a long walk in tomorrow morning. I don't know if my ribs will allow me, but I am attempting it. I need to do something and soon. I really miss my kayaking.

Maddie - are you still partners in that horse? The Travers (our Kentucky Derby) is today, but I can't go - it is way too crowded for me anyway. I saw Julie Krone get thrown and trampled at the track - she looked like a rag doll laying on the ground - it was gruesome, but she had the entire place praying for her. She was out of commission for some time.

John - I don't think that I could've done your trip. I am exhausted after 3 hours on the lake, especially when the water is choppy. Sounds like you had a great time. Enjoy your golfing - the weather around here is perfect for it.

NH Suzanne - I will send you my phone numbers in an e-mail. I can't believe that the 3 of us will be together soon. I hope you love Saratoga as much as I do.

Well, I have to get ready for work. Have a great day and weekend.

Good Morning.

Jen... they are salad tongs. I have been giving them as gifts recently. I bought a pair and they are quite the conversation piece when having guests over for dinner. So I have been sending them to relatives and friends. Just something different I guess. Glad you liked everything.
