Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 I'm sure you can do it if you set your mind to it. You seem to be very dedicated to taking the weight off, which I truly commend you for. I agree that if your mother is indeed that type of person, you are probably better off without her in your life. There are just some ppl (regardless if they are family or not) that have a way of bringing us down and life is too short for that.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Oh Dawn!! I am glad I am not alone. Actually you are probably better off. Diet coke contains aspertame. That is nasty stuff. Although, you can use regular coke to clean a car battery too. Amazing how our brains work. We know its bad, but we continue to do it. We can slap each other on the hand, ok??

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Hi, . Wow, since your son is the first to graduate, this must be a very exciting time for you all. It's nice that your daughter is still going to be home with mom once your son goes off to college. You can have some nice mother/daughter moments. I'm sorry to hear your hip is still bothering you. It must be awful. Have you tried laying on a heating pad?? Just an idea.... Take care, Dawn gide672@... wrote: > Hi Dawn! > My son is my first to graduate.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 My husband is a freight supervisor at a trucking company. He has been there going on 13 years and hates it more and more every day. He gets great benefits though so we really can't afford to lose that. He just gets frustrated easily and he knows the terminal inside and out and has done every job there. He got a new boss about 8 months ago and he does things differently. My hubby is still trying to 'retrain' the boss!!! hehe. We are very fortunate, we don't even pay a premium on our health insurance. Just copays. He does love the fact that he can wear shorts every day. Even in the winter. I can count on one hand the times he wears long pants during the year!!! He is the typical Southern California boy, born and raised.... I am anxious to pick Brody up today. He cried when I left him today. He said 'i want to go home.....'. I felt bad. Zanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 I know about FREEZING!!! I grew up in Northern Wisconsin. I was so stubborn one time in high school and wanted to wear my cute little blue flats that had a metallic tinge to them (SO KWEL), anyways, it was about 30 below with windchill.......brrrr and I would NOT wear socks with those shoes, it would totally ruin the look. So, needless to say, the school bus was late that morning and by the time it got there, my feet were the same color as my shoes!!! I wore socks all the time after that!! heheh. Dumb kids-ey???

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 You're lucky you didn't get frost-bite. LOL. Actually, I'm just the opposite. I grew up in FL., so I didn't do any of that dumb kid stuff. However, I also never had any of the fun kids had in the snow. Like sliding, ice skating, snow angels, etc., so I'm not much help to my kids when they want to do some of that fun stuff. Oh well, lucky hubby grew up up here.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Oh we had so much fun in the winters. We grew up on a lake too, so every winter we would clear an ice skating rink. If we were lucky my dad would let us use his snow plow and we would make ice trails all over and out to the island. We could spend hours on there. During the summer was just as fun. We spent every day at the beach..Oh, I miss those days when my mom would just send us girls down by ourselves and not worry. I guess I don't ever remember not knowing how to swim. She didn't let us go alone until we were teens tho. But we could be gone for hours in the forest next to our house and she never had to worry. Now I worry about Kylie getting home from the bus stop. Things sure have changed... Zanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Yes, they have. I don't let the girls out of my sight when I'm out anywhere with them, for fear that someone will snatch them.
