Well -------- it's here in the deep south. lol I have opened the windows and the warm, fresh air is moving through the house hopefully 'airing everything out' after the colder winter months. The grass is turning green very fast and the Dogwood trees and Azalea bushes are budding out. I love springtime!!
I thought I had been lucky and missed the flu this year especially since I did not get my annual flu shot. I really 'meant' to get one but never found the right time. Well, I am just out of bed with both strains A & B. I drank plenty of juices but did not eat very much. Atkins WOE had to go for a while. I'm sure I didn't gain any weight so I'm ready to go back and get the apple juice and white grape juice out of my system. I still do not have any scales so I don't know what I weigh exactly, BUT, I can tell it in my clothes and even in the tightness of my watch band.
I hope everyone in this forum is doing well. I hope that spring comes to your part of the country VERY soon.
I am ending this thread with some really cute 'old timers' sayings that I thought you would enjoy.
Everyone hang in there!!!!! We can do this -- it's a little slower but none the less it still WORKS!!!

I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.
She turned to me and asked, 'Are you having it catered'?
And that, my friend, is the sad definition of 'OLD'!

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to
the very elderly widow and asked, 'How old was your husband?'
'98,' she replied: 'Two years older than me'
'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.
She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?'

'And what do you think is the best thing
about being 104?' the reporter asked.
She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'

I've sure gotten old!
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes
I'm half blind,
can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia.
Have poor circulation;
hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,
I still have my driver's license.

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,
so I got my doctor's permission to
join a fitness club and start exercising.
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down,
and perspired for an hour. But,
by the time I got my leotards on,
the class was over.

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and
told her preacher she had two final requests.
First, she wanted to be cremated, and second,
she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.
'Wal-Mart?' the preacher exclaimed.
'Why Wal-Mart?'
'Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week'
told her preacher she had two final requests.

Know how to prevent sagging?
Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.

It's scary when you start making the same noises

These days about half the stuff
in my shopping cart says,
'For fast relief.'

THE SENILITY PRAYER :
Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
the eyesight to tell the difference.
