Oh - okay - I guess we can see it but others can't - odd. Our AC has broken darn it - would be when the temps are going to be in the 80's for the next few days wouldn't it AND on a weekend - we called folk out once on a weekend and were really burned 'cos they were Union - will NOT do that again !!!! Called the people that we called out at the end of September and have asked them to come out on Monday - so am expecting a warm weekend !!

Ordered the treadmill finally - oh and I BEAT Fen on the Fitbit but she hadn't been able to get anywhere to connect to internet so it is a one off and will never happen again - I will enjoy it while it lasts !!!! ROTFLMBO !!!!! She is really good motivation for me anyway! As soon as she connects and syncs, she will zoom past me .... LOL

Well, I am off to attack my pile of ironing - now there is a really good thing to do when my AC isn't working and the temps are in the 80's !!!! Never said I was clever !! I am a Bear Of Little Brain !!

Hugs. Sun XXX

Hey all - sorry, need to research your questions about the status on the left.

Had a session with my therapist this morning. I had been contemplating canceling earlier this week. I'm glad that I didn't. Was able to vent a lot and get some suggestions. It helped.

I am falling asleep and am considering a nap. Will probably lay down & read. Sorry that several of you didn't like 'A Man Called Ove'. I LOVED it. Oh well - now I'm reading Andrea Martin's book.

I hope that everyone is having a fantastic weekend. Catch you all in a bit. I have been trying to find out the latest on Nursie but can't seem to find that thread.....does anyone know what the plan is regarding surgery?

[NoraC]

Oh - & which Fitbit do you all have? I am seriously going to look at them.

[Dottie Belle]

Nora I have the one tracker. It has a little case so u can put it on your pocket but I bought a tether for it too from Amazon. It is so light that if it falls off u wont feel it fall.
Dinner was great and the folks were all very nice but we are not very good at making conversation with strangers but we managed. Some of the things were very spicy and we both liked that. It was a buffet so we got to try lots of different things.
We will definitely go again.
Watching some documentaries on FMTV which is an Internet channel and has lots of movies on health and food etc...very interesting.
I will be hanging around all night....well at least until 11PM EDT...

What kind of restaurant was it Dots?we just had hamburgers and hot dogs baked in the oven,what the heck is "a man called ove"about?i'm getting two sides here,i never read anymore anyways,i usually get so into a book i finish it inone day,it fries my brain

[Dottie Belle]

It was an Indian restaurant. The meetup group goes there occasionally and if we get 35 folks they will do a vegan buffet just for our group and we had 48 tonight....it was really good and spicy too...mmmmmmmmmm

Morning! :happy2:

Beloved mrs bear, I hope your burnt hand is better now. I am rather afraid you have me wondering about the burnt boob incident...

Sunny, how exciting that you will be having a new cat in January, will it be a rescue cat? Are you sure that the fitbit is counting everything when it is in your pocket? I will be interested to hear how you get on with the treadmill when it arrives. Did you decide against using the gym? That is a pain in the bum about the air conditioning, I hope it can be fixed easily.

Re the pencils at the side, I think the reason you only see your own pencils is so that you can only edit your own status. Chaos would probably ensue if we were all able to edit one anothers statuses!

Dotts, glad you enjoyed the vegan buffet. When you said about liking the gym because it gives you somewhere to go, that is exactly how I feel about the swimming pool, it gets me out of the house. That is excellent news about your heart, have they finished with the investigations now?

Pauly, sorry it was slow at work again, it is not nice to have to worry about the bills.

IFT, I am glad your health is improving.

Kradle, sorry about matt having to come home without graduating, when are you expecting him back? Well done for not drinking while all this is going on.

Nora, apologies for being slow on the uptake, but what does "pulling a nora" mean? Something to do with running late? Like you, I am mulling over the possibility of getting a fitbit, but don't know enough about the different kinds. Nursie said on her thread that surgery is on 11/11, then she starts chemo four weeks later. I hope it all goes as well as possible nursie, if you happen to be reading. :hug:

Fenny, are you away at the cabin this weekend or still busy organising things at home?

Liz, have a wonderful vacation! :happy2:

Hi to everyone else.

Off to walk the dog. :turd2:Laters...

[sunshinedaisies]

Reccy ! Where ever did you find the dog pooping ? I did a double take on that !!!

'Doing a Nora' started a long long time ago when Nora was always saying that she was running late for work and finally I said one day when I thought I was going to be running late that I was going to be 'doing a Nora' and it sort of stuck ......LOL.

No, the kitten we are getting in January is not a rescue - many years ago, we bred Birman cats - we started in UK then when we came here, my SIL had a couple from us and she carried on but started a different line - anyway we stopped breeding and finally do not have any cats - but are going to have one of her kittens when it is old enough in January. Birmans are real people cats and it will be nice to have a cat in the house again .... not sure what the dogs will think of it but I am sure it will put them in their places! The cats usually do I have found !

I am going into work today for a few hours. Oh - I have the Fitbit 'One' Nora, the same as Dottie. I had not thought of getting a tether though. I have not had time to walk this morning before work and it will be too hot later today so today will be out. Oh and someone asked me about the gym vs the treadmill - Reccy I think - I haven't decided against the gym - as I said I can get a discount so it is quite reasonable - just haven't done it yet - I might today actually. The treadmill is being delivered on 30th October. And yes, it is a pain about the AC - tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer but hopefully they will be coming tomorrow to fix it. I did start doing my ironing yesterday late afternoon and then thought 'not a good idea with no AC'.

Oh gosh Pauly - so hard to explain A Man called Ove - probably best to go to Amazon and read the reviews. I really enjoyed it as you all know !!

Well, I need to skype my mum and then get ready for work ..... back later everyone - have a great Sunday, Hugs, Sun XXX

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Off to church then the grocery. We pick up the foster doggie later today. This will be yet another adventure..dh thinks I have lost it....and maybe I have but I am not looking for "it"

[NoraC]

Nursie has just received some tragic news.

I can't believe this. My mother has really gone off the deep end since my diagnosis. She is bipolar and an addict alcoholic.
I called to police to check on her because she wasn't answering the phone (she lives 3 hours away) and they found her dead on the floor.
My mommy, how could she do this now? I need her!
I am beyond overwhelmed and sad.

[paulywogg]

Hey all,Recs,that doggie pooping is cute! i too had to do a double take,Sunshine,we have a gym right across the street thats pretty cheap but i dont like exercising around people,exercise is the only time i can clear my head,had a talk with hubs last nite about needing extra support from him this week,just cuz of my emotions in dealing with Bobbi moving,his answer"your gonna do what your gonna do,just have some self control"then goes into how he can drink a few and stop,what a fuckface! i NEED him to be supportive,take my keys,keep me distracted sheesh i dunno,maybe he just got sick of babysitting,this is all on me and i get tired,i'm not having a daily battle with not drinkung,but i know how i get when i'm emotional,grrr,they need to make a legal,safe,non-addictive happy pill to take as needed,i'll probly be around alot this week,so be prepared haha

[paulywogg]

OMG Nora!!!! Poor Nursie! what the hell happened?she is dealing with so much already,oh i just feel like crying

[Recluse]

Such horrible, shocking news. I can't even begin to imagine how poor nursie must be feeling.

[mama bear]

Nursie posted on Fb last night....I will try to call her...what a horrible, tragic thing
