Hello everyone! Liz hon, the best Karma, waves and positive thoughts are going your way!! Thre is no easy way to deal with a parent with dementia, prepare yourself, the time may come when your mom will nedd to move out of her home unless you find someone to stay with her and look after her.  That is what I am doing with my mom, and that is another delema all by itself!! You just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers! Hey, at least here you can come and vent and we will not be judgemental. Now do remember, food is not the answer!!  Pat baby girl, so good to hear from you!! I do not know how you manage that glutten frre diet!! Hey, I do hope that you find all the goodies when you take the twins!! Linda, the storm did come back, not to my area though, but it has done great damage in the northern part of FL! Floods all over the place, we even have two deaths in FL.  I am not sure of the location.  It is still raining in our end of the woods!! Judy hon, what is the use of behaving if you are not having fun?? Just do not have too much fun!! Sistah, you have lost three pouds!! Do NOT MESS UP NOW!!! This as I take another sip of my beer!! Buzz hon, where are you?? Kimberley?? Hey, we worry about you and yours!! I got a text message from our "missing" Becky today, she was taking a break at Lowes!! Ok, I do have a cold, on top of everything else, and feel crummy! I am trying to be good, but not too good! Love to u all,

 Wow! i can't believe i'm getting to post, i spent about 20mins trying yesterday to post and then it went to error.

The baby turned 1 on Sunday, he was staying the weekend with his adoptive family, so they had a little party for him with just us and them, (which of course was still 14people) Monday after his 1yr check up he came back to our home and will be with us until after the holiday, when he'll move in with them.   Been doing great with my exercise, and better with my eating, the scale actually said i was down 1lb, now if it will just stay away!!!!

Liz , hang in there, i'll keep you in my prayers! 

Still waiting to see if the siblings are going to be moving in with us, they said they'd let us know the end of this week, (yes, lots of delays!)

Hope everyone is doing well,  Elia hope that cold leaves really soon! i know what a bummer those can be!

take care!

 Patty, it sounds like the baby's adoptive family is very nice, just like you.  So nice to share the baby.  Congrats on your exercising and your eating, and losing a pound, each pound is important and significant.  Btw, we started a new thread because of all the posting issues with this one, I think it was just getting too big.  Look for the new one called something like, "Linda, Lizzie, Patty, Elia, Kimberley, Buzz, Judy, Where Are you".  I'm sure I don't have the names in the same order, but we're all there.  So far no problems posting to it.  See you there!

Judy

 Patty so good to hear from you!! Judy hon, you scared me, I thought the new thread had done a dissapearing act on us! I feel just awfull! I hate colds because they love me so much that once they catch me, they do not want to let me go!! Love,

Elia

Elia, I'm on my way out from work but wanted to grab a quick minute and ask you if you're trying to go to work with this bugger.  I feel for you sistah and I know the only way you're going to get better is to get vitamin D and liquid, (and I think you know what I mean).  Answer me on the new thread though, okay?

Love ya,

Judy
