Hi Guys,
Home from pizza and beer with my brother, brother in law, niece and mom. Told my brother in law the secret to get along with mom is to give her a beer every once in a while!
Got a call from my sister in law down state, She said the second guy that ever kissed me ( i was 12) was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was 47. Thats a shame and I am sorry for his family. It did bring up some sweet memories of him trying to get me into the hay barn on my uncle’s farm but I was a good girl then and refused.
Tired. My friend called and asked about my back. Then he wanted to know why I have gained weight! Hey , u throw your back out for 5 weeks and see how much u work out! Oh well, maybe he has good intentions or is worried about me. I doubt that as he is very self centered but I am worthy of being concerned about so I will just go with that!
Bed soon.
peace

Hi Guys,
Hey Larry, the chiro is $30 no matter what they do. The pt with them is 100%. I never was a beliver in chiropratic since no one seems to be "cured" and they keep u going until run out of benifits!
I really like this guy tho and i think i’m atleast going to try a session or two.
Well Guys, I did it, I went to my first GA meeting. It was a good group, a couple who were 9 years and that was interesting.
They recomend that u go to lots of meetings but this was quite emotionaly draining and I don’t know about wanting to be the Newbee at a bunch of different places. I don’t feel like I did months ago and don’t think that I am in the crisis mode that I have been in in the past. But I do want to try to make the meeting on Thursday so we will see.
catch u on the chat!
peace

Good Morning,
Oh Friday is here! Saw Chiro and they want me to commit to two visits a week for 6 weeks for strength training for my back. Thats good and all but at $30 a visit, ($360 for the time) we will have to work on a payment plan. I have avoided joining a gym due to the $$ but this course of treatment will cost almost the same as a one year gym membership.
Have lost about 6 of the 15lbs i "found" this year so at least  something is happening! Still feel bloated and clothes are tight but another 5 lbs will help with that, just have to do it.
Have a good day/night and I’ll catch the chat when I get home later.
Still gamble free, no gamblimg today!
peace

hi Guys!
I so wanted to catch the chat tonight but my sister called and came over with my niece for a swim. 90 outside, water was beauitful! My brother joined us.
Got some bad new, cousin called from down state and my Aunt passed today. So sad. There were 8 boys and six girls. My dads twin sister and their baby sister are the only ones left. I can picture my Aunt Rosie in heaven playing cards with my Dad and all their kin! They were a fun bunch of good ol" country folk and I can just see them all together!
Urges so I am glad my sister called for the swim. I must do something about this soon! The only answer is to ban, so I have to commit to doing it.
Catch u in the morning!

Hey Guys!
Up early, female issues. This is why I am taking the med’s that are putting some weight on me and went through that horrible test. Why? So far, no good! Well, she said it would take time to inprove but like all cg’s I wanted it fixed YESTERDAY!
Gonna pop into work then leave for my chiro appt. Have to bring a change of clothes. (90 and humid today) so I don’t want to wear slacks today.
Need to run, catch u later!

Hi K,
Good to see PC is up and running. I am jelious of the excersize. I hope to work out ((  with out major pain) soon!
I work with the chio tomorrow on strength training and streching for this back.I’ll have to look at the zumba online. I’ve not heard of that but not that I’m "up" on the latest work outs.
I bought a cream for spider veins ( i have them on my cheeks) and have used it for weeks. No change! Even at this age (47) I would need just a little powder if I didn’t have those on my face. Could be worse, so I need to count my blessings!
Have fun surfing now the pc is good!

Missed the Chiro, had a last minute customer my asst manager dumped on me and he was a pain in the butt!
Oh well, I told her I was going during work time tomorrow so If my co worker shows up late there will be no one taking customers and I don’t really care.
Crampy and sore-Yuck!

Congrats on 11 months! Here’s to the next one!

Hi Guys,
Just checking in. Went on the chat, good to see u all. Hope to be on the one tomorrow (9 pm for me).
My medical records are becoming public knowledge! Back good, leg is having sharp pains now. Pinched nerve? thats Dr Laura’s diganois! I see chrio after work so we’ll see!
Funny, now I feel like working out and can’t! Took a dip in the pool. Not alot of real swimming but I did work the leg under the water. Felt fine. Climbed out of the pool and "WAM-OUCH!  Limped home!
Called my Mom to plan a trip down state to see my nieces, my deceased brothers girls. We will go at the end of August as the state fair is underway and I haven’t gone in years. ( Last time i weighted 300 lbs and it was 100 degrees out there, didn’t last long!) I do believe the car is finally in good enough shape for the trip! Yea! Did I tell u i had a wonderful big brother?? $40 dollar fix, it’s running smooth, like it should!
Talked to my sister today, we talked about my deceased brother. Both in tears but I felt better. Somehow I just felt like no one really cared enough to remember him yesterday. I was wrong, as usual!
Urges tonight. Why? No reason. they passed. Did get the phone number for the counceling services avalable through my job. Now I just need to make the call.
peace

The icecream was one giant puddle as the cone was sideways laying in a card board box!

[bettie]

Good Morning,
Had a dream last night. I was fighting with the manager of an icecream shop for overcharging me. She was sorry but she could do nothing about it. What the heck was that about?? I was feeling powerless. Maybe that was it.
Have to get ready for work. I will have to stay late most likely but have no choice. Hope to get some business today.
No gambling today.

Hi Guys,
The good, the bad, and the ugly! My life of late. I managed a 2 mile workout, nothing earth shattering, back was ok but pain in my thigh stopped me and made me take little brakes. My niece came over and I did her hair for the photos. Wanted to walk to the store but the leg is acting funny, hurting on and off. Decited to drive to the store.
I was going to call my daughter and phone rang, it was her. She was asking for directions to the beach. I told her funny, we went for a little yesterday to try out the car repair. "Oh, and u didn’t call me?" Told her no, last minute and I knew she was with her boyfriend. I gave her directions and said I wouldn’t mind going. "Well, u went without me yesterday, and it’s just me and Chris (bf)." I just said oh.
I look back and try to pin point the start of the compulsive gambling. It’s the lonelyness i think more than anything. Today is a prime example. Everyone has something to do. My tasks are done. I have no place to go that I wish to go alone. Gambling was the perfect escape for a day like today.
I hate feeling like this, unwanted, unwelcomed and unloved. Is this depression, hormones, pms?? Withdrawl??
Need to shake this off and move on!

Hi Guys,
Woke up early. Getting a head start on the day. Took a pain pill to loosen up this back. All in all it’s much better and i should be able to mannage some normal tasks, like laundry, cleaning the cat box ( yuck), and maybe a good walk today.
Weather looks good so we’ll see. I can’t stand the humid stuff but if thats the case I’ll swim a little.
Niece called to have her hair done tomorrow. Photographer is doing family photos at her mother in laws house.
Thats for tomorrow so at least I have some plans to keep me away from "u know where" this weekend.
Need more coffee and to get ready for work. Hope to chat later!
Kathryn, u are beautiful yourself!
peace
