kisses
Can't believe I am having to do this. But recently I lost my biggest client and now the purse strings have been pulled so tight they are breaking. So I am looking at things to cut. And sadly a prime candidate is my site and-then-some.com. It is costing me $13.95/month and that sounds like a small amount but right now every penny counts. So I am wondering if anyone would be willing to donate a few bucks to help me pay this expense. I am hoping we will be back on track in a couple months but right now I have a payment due on about the 14th. If you can help please let me know or I will be forced to shut down.

kisses
Lately I have been in the mood for some good old AU B/A. I have of course re-read what Gia and Tango have. I have also gone through most of Michelle's. I was just hoping folks would recommend their faves. Maybe something I missed or something I forgot about. Wanting something totally human and of course B/A. NC-17 would be a huge plus.

IB
Thought I would give all ya an update on my weight loss. I started working on it last June and I am now reporting a loss of 65 lbs. I have gone from 235 to 170. From a pant size 22 to a 12. I hope to lose 40 more and reach my final goal of 130. I was 117 when I was 21 so I think 130 is reasonable goal for my height. I even have looked at charts and they say a woman my age and height should weigh 125-135.

And I would love to recommend Curves to any of you wanting start you own loss plan. I go three times a week and it keeps me motivated. And I do not have to be the old fat lady amongst a bunch of jocks like most gyms.

kisses
I know I never post and sadly am delinquent many days in reading yours. So I hope you will allow me a moment to crow....

Last June I began to seriously tackle my weight and as of this weekend I have lost 49lbs. I am now wearing a size 14 and saying good bye to last summer's size 22s.

kisses
I am on the road to a healthier and lighter me. And now my sister has challanged me to join her on the annual heart walk. We lost our father five years ago to heart failure so this is cause that is close to our hearts.

I was only a year and half ago I was coerced into doing one mile during the local relay for life. Now I am set to do 3 miles. I am hoping the 30 lbs I have recently lost increases my stamina. But I am committed and ready to do this.

If any of you are able and willing to sponser me I would greatly appreciate it. I know heart disease has entered all our lives in some way.

Just got an e-mail from my friend Lynn. Her sister Alice has been found and other than being off her meds she is okay. Thanks to all who have kept the family in their thoughts.

I assume many of you recall me posting a couple of months ago about the friend who died unexpectly. Well his widow is facing a new trauma. Her 45 year old sister who is bi-polar and hates to take her meds walked away from her group home on May 25th. As of today she is still missing.

Please all keep Alice Brown Green and her worried family in your thoughts.
31st-May-2009 02:07 pm - The Buffy Movie Buzz
kisses
I had a thought about the recent talk about a new Buffy movie.

The women here that are married will understand this analogy. You want something done and get tired of waiting so you decided to just do it your self. The next thing you know your husband is right with you and voila he does what you have been wanting him to do for ever.

So folks---aka the Kazais--who could earn mula from the movie get tired of waiting. Well dang we will just do it ourselves. So will this inspire Joss and others like Sarah who are very protective of the image of the show? If is going to happen will they insist it is done right and not butchered.

I personally have no interest in a movie that does not have Joss, Sarah and David involved. Oh and ASH.
27th-May-2009 07:23 pm - I want, I buy, I worry
kisses
Lets start this by describing my current computer. I bought it in 2002. It has a 70G HD, 1.47Ghz processor, 480mg RAM, CD burner and DVD player. Pretty good for the day. And over the years I have upgraded with things like replacing the rear USB ports with 2.0 ones. Changing the 56k modem with an ethernet 10/100. Adding both an external DVD-burner and 500G HD.

But lets face it the thing is pretty much a dinosaur. My husband is using much worse. He is using a computer I cobbled together from two computers from 98. I think the the total of the two HDs in it are less than 10G. I hate to recall how much ram.

Well I have been jonesing for a new computer but I felt other things had priority. Things like getting hubby's truck running. He got his license back last June and was still sharing my car. So in March I put it in the shop and then poured money into it. I do not want to even admit how much we sunk into a 96 model but he loves the truck. And well it is PURPLE.

So now the truck is going and we have no pressing issues....I look at the bank account and I see money. Talk to hubby and he suggest I replace my windshield (small crack behind the windshield wipers) before I do anything else.

Well I have been pricing computers and knew I was willing to spend about $600 and knew what I could get which included 3GB RAM and a 250 or 320G HD. Well yesterday I went to my online computer store and they had the basic computer I wanted with a free upgrade to 4GB RAM and a 500GB HD. With the deal on a 20" HD LCD monitor and free shipping it was $580 plus tax. I was all bouncy.

So I called the windshield place and after the $210 quote I decided I could do BOTH. So the windshield is all new and the computer is ordered. I suspect the monitor will ship immediately and the computer is suppose to be complete to ship by June 2.

Now comes the fun of moving all the files. Luckily I have plenty of room on my external harddrive to copy everything on my internal and then add back to the new computer as needed. I know I will lose a couple programs I do not have on CD. Programs I loaded back then from floppies or such. I think I will most miss my picture software that came with my original scanner. I must have gave away the CD with the scanner. I am going to try and copy the pgm from this computer but no guarantees it will work. I tried to find it to add to use at a client's office recently and know I do not have it.

Well I will have to forgo any extras for a few months and hope no catastrophe happens but I need this. I use my computer for fun but I also use it for work and I am tired of playing hurry up and wait.

Hubby acts like I am doing this for me but I am sure he is happy to get a better hand-me-down.
