Really quiet around the boards this weekend. Guess everyone is having their last summer fling.
Blessings to all.
I'm back to studying.

To all of us gorgeous females.....
In case you missed it on 60 minutes...
This is for all you girls 30 years and over.... and for those who are
turning 30, and for those who are scared of moving into their 30's...AND
for guys who are scared of girls over 30!!!!
*This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes.
Andy Rooney says:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just
a few reasons why:
A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask,
"What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around
whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually
something more interesting.
A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,
what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30
give a hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing.
Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at
the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you
deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get
away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's
like to be unappreciated.
A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women
friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend
because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 30 couldn't
care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends
won't betray her.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a
woman over 30. They always know.
A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of
younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far
sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are
forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you
are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with
her.
Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately,
it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of
30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of
himself with some 22-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologise.
For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk
for free". Here's an update for you.
Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's
not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.

We all need to laugh......
2005 DARWIN AWARDS
Yes, it's that magical time of the year again when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least Evolved among us. Here then, are the glorious winners.
2005 Darwin Award Winners:
1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a holdup in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did something
that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked..... And now, the honorable mentions:
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company.
The company expecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the
counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer...$15 If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?
7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinderblock through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinderblock and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinderblock bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."
9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.
10 When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.

| I'm really enjoying the tapes!
|

|

I am now "double nickels" since 8/1. The weight I am trying to lose is very stubborn. I just bought 2 DVDs from Leslie Sansone since it is too hot in Tampa to walk outside. So I'm hoping that walking inside will move the scale. I read about her tapes on one of the threads here. Thanks for the info!

Well, I made up for the first month not gaining weight and put 13 pounds back on. But I didn't smoke.
Last weekend I treated myself to the Leslie Sansone book and first tape along with a yoga tape as a reward. I've worked out more this week than I have in the last month, and having a ball with Sparkguy's 10 minute challenge.
Still haven't tried out the yoga. Listening to the football game tonight. The tape is for morning and night, so I think I'll break it open tomorrow.

hanging is the right word! No weight loss since June, but also no smoking. Gained one pound according to Curves today, but over a month of no smoke. So I'm happy.
Can't wait for it to cool off!

I'm hanging in there! How about you?

Hi Lin!
Well today is not so good for me. For some reason I am depressed but cannot figure out exactly why. My husbands mood has soured over the last 2 days, so maybe that has something to do with it. I jsut feel like eating everything today. Good thing I am at work and have nothing! Will eat my left over soup and be done with it. I am trying to keep busy and forget about it, but some days are more difficult than others.

Hi Pam,
Sunday was better than the end of the week. Guess I'm just missing family.
Starting to schedule the time busier, maybe that'll keep me out of the kitchen! :)

Hi Lin,
I had a busy weekend. Made a basket on Friday night after work, spent some time with my Granddaughter of Saturday morning, Worked the Kansas City Wizards Soccer Game in the blazing heat, then went home and passed out of exhaustion that night. Sunday was busy doing laundry and ironing - my favorite thing to do. At least I kept away from all the food this weekend. Leaves me wondering when it went this morning! How was your?

Hi Pam,
Thanks for stopping by! We were mumbling earlier this week, but its hard to say what tomorrow will bring!
That's great you didn't gain for a month! Great Job! I'll bet being back on track the 3.4 will drop back off just as quick!
Company was great. But ended too soon. I left them July 4th in Tulsa. I'm going through withdrawal pains from not having anyone around again. Yesterday I was putting everything in my mouth that wasn't nailed down!
Hope you have a good weekend!
Lin

Hi Lin. How is your week going? Still not talking to the scales? I like that thought. I needed that last week when I put everyting I saw in my mouth to the tune of 3.4 pounds. I was doing pretty good to. hadn't gained in over a month. I'm back on track now. Hope you are doing well with your company.

Good day on food, water and exercise. Trying to really get back on a better portion control and stopping when I get full.
With 93 degree weather, drinking water is easy!
Hope all are doing well!

Found an article in AARP that really struck a cord. I don't know if I am trying to hide my age, or just resent folks categorizing me by my age.
For those who belong, it was on page 39 of the July/August edition of the magazine. For those who don't, check out my thread "I can see clearly now..."
I really don't feel like my perception of 55. I feel more like 38. Arrested development?
Have a good night folks!

Most fun I've had in a long time.
Trying to get the placed in order for company coming on Monday. It's actually starting to look like home again!
I'm ignoring the scales right now, they don't have anything positive to say, so we're not talking. But I'm exercising and working in the yard and cleaning house, and for today sticking within range on food, so we may be on speaking terms again next week!
Have a good Sunday!

| What a wonderfully, fun day at work!! Every place should have these types of fun days on occasion! I am certain it helps to boost the moral of the employees to have fun now and then!

Crazy, crazy day at work today! Bunches of people off, the ones of us there didn't want to work, and I was trying to get caught up before vacation.
One of our people is moving to another section, so we had a burrito breakfast bar this morning. A couple of the kids loaded his cubicle with balloons.
Before the end of the day we were playing kick the balloons! Had a ball!
Thank goodness the bosses left early today.

Thanks Myrna and Jo Ann!
It really was a relief! I'm loafing this week, but will have to start tackling the next assignment soon. Seven more to go and when I pass them all, I get a "free" trip to Hawaii! (I don't think my brain is going to think it is free!) :)
Have a great day!
