[wiininkwe]

heheheh, Leigh Ann, sure don't need to turn the lights off for .....oh, hi everybody, guess ya do need to lock the door, tho.   It's funny, when I told DH what the Dr. said, he just laughed and said, "I guess I should have warned him that you always do what you want, anyway."   (whenever I ask for his advice, or if he thinks I should do something, he says, "might as well say yes, you'll do what ya want anyway."    And to be honest, I lost track of the walker almost three weeks ago, and have been driving for a few weeks too.   But now I'm legal!!

Well, I went to the pool today, and it felt just delicious to get into that nice warm water.   I did all the exercises, but modified some that seemed like a bit too much stress on my knee.   On my way home, I thought to myself, that I should get a few things done right away as soon as I got there, so that I'd be able to relax on the couch and recover from all the activity, and wait for the pain to hit.   The first thing that happened when I got there was to spill a very large glass of RC Cola on the kitchen floor, and while trying to make sure it was cleaned up thoroughly Lil Spanky got ahold of the paper towels and shredded some all over the living room and dining room.   After I mopped the floor, I got out the vacuum, and took care of that mess, then decided to throw a load of towels into the washer and dryer (downstairs), got a venison roast started , made some biscuits and mashed potatoes.  (not in that order)   After dinner I went down and did another load of laundry, did the dishes and then settled down to watch the sad episode of John Ritter's show.   All of a sudden I realised that i never did lay down, or take any tylenol for pain.  
 
 
Just thought I'd share.
 
 
 
Whooo Hoooo!!

Sounds like you were over doing it just a bit.  Please don't injure it any more.
 
We follow "8 simple rules...." and last night was a tear jerker.  It was very hard since it was always such a funny show - don't know if it will make it without John Ritter.  I hadn't seen James Garner in such a long time - he has changed.  I had heard that he may be there as a regular, but it just won't be the same.

It was a tearjerker.   I have always watched the show, too.  Even tho I've been a fan of John Ritter, I was really impressed right from the beginning wih the strength of the rest of the cast.  He was definitely the 'star', but none of the rest really was overshadowed by him.  (yet another testament to his skill as an actor, to let everyone shine)   I truely hope that this show does survive, the best reality show of all!!

I could see my DD's with the same attitudes and problems and reactions -- both fit into the same character's on the show.  It was just so real in this day and age without being a "REALITY SHOW"

Toni,  you are on the way back to mobility ! Way to go. :S Nancy has a good point. Do be careful not to over do. I know how hard it is once you start feeling good again, to not keep going like the energizer bunny.
 
 I still get lectures from my chiro to not go to nuts overdoing heavy physical tasks....But doc, someone had to load  all that firewood for the weekend in the van

Okay, I really wasn't going to admit this, but I guess if I do, it will be a lesson for someone else, too.   Today I ache all over.   It isn't bad, not even enough to take Tylenol for, but just a result of not having used soooo many body parts for soooo long.   It hasn't kept me from doing anything today, just doing it a bit slower.   But, I am going back tomorrow to do it all over again.

hey glad you are back in the fight, T! btw, i have been on the Atkins diet since aug.1, so far as yesterday have lost 26#! feel sooo much better, am goin for another 20. this is definately the best diet i have ever been on, i am not hungry and have energy to boot. i realize its not for everyone, but for me, it works and ya cant argue with success. best part is, DH has begun it as of 2 weeks ago, he has lost 6 # so far, but i think he may have cheated on the induction phase. next summer when you see us at the beach, we will both be bootylicious hahahah

Somehow I became the originator of this topic. Of all things.....me and healthy eating! LOL
 
Now, I noticed that the replies abruptly ended on November 6th. So, for all of you who rolled off the wagon, it's time to get back on before xmas! And, to my little sis Toni, just tell our brother to send those Entemann's cakes my way! (I'll suffer by eating the bad stuff & tell everyone how bad it tastes).

[B-flat]

Al, I have some leftover Apple Pie and Sweet Potato Pie from Saturday night's dinner party with the Bluegrass band and their wives.  Would that help you out?

[wiininkwe]

Well, I have to come clean, and admit to everyone that I have been a baaaad, baaaaad girl.   That's why you haven't seen me here in such a long time.   But, I am determined to make a new start, and to give it my best effort.  So, soon you'll be hearing from me again.   (And Al, I keep telling you, no more Entemannes (sp) donuts and cakes!!
