You're an automatic buddy, my friend!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Carole! Nice to see you here. Welcome. We are kind of a small group right now but its still a great group...and if anything, easier to keep up with. The more the merrier though..always.

Norah, how did you make out with the washing machine? At my house it seems like it is always something, so I understand how it goes.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hi, Jane, Carole, Norman and ALL Buddies ... the new washer is coming tomorrow; good thing, too ... the laundry is piling up! Ah yes, the joys of home ownership !

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi all!

Norah, I thought of you and laughed this morning. Now our refrigerator is acting up! What will be next?

Our fridge is 9 years old and I have read differing things on whether to repair it or replace it. I will tinker with it myself first and see what happens.

Well I have to keep running for now but will catch up with everyone later!

Hugs to all,
Jane

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Ohhhh I detest home ownership when things go wrong. I so enjoyed calling the landlord then complaining when he didn't rush right over and fix whatever was wrong.....now I can't complain because I'm the one who gets things fixed around here....a call to this repairman, a trip to buy something new....ugh!

Thank you for allowing me to join all of you - I've read this thread for quite awhile but never knew if I would fit in or not...believe me it's been hard not to chime in from time to time - but I didn't! Now I can (I promise to be nice....or as close to nice as I can get).

Ok - everyone have a great day -- eat responsibly and drink your water (I sound like a mother!).

[FLdoodette]

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

OK, Mom....I'll drink my water! Actually, I probably am not drinking enough of the stuff, so thanks for the reminder, Carol!

Going around to all my surviving electronics, Jane, and giving 'em a pep talk ... "Don't even THINK about going on the fritz, ya hear?" And you NEED your fridge; a washer is optional (there's always the dreaded laundromat), but you gotta have the ol' ice box !

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

hello Buddies:

Have a great and wonderful holiday weekend and Fldoodette, DRINK YOUR WATER!

Alas, I'm stuck in the library looking up journals and trying to sort some data I labeled wrong in an atomic absorption I ran.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi all! I had a wedding to go to today. It wasn't too big and was fairly casual. I did ok with the eating but I am sure I inadvertantly ate things I shouldn't have (sauces). It was a BBQ dinner..chicken, burgers, hot dogs, ribs and all kinds of pasta, potato, baked bean type "salads". No "real" salad. I ate some chicken and a burger, and a bite of ribs and one tiny cube of potatoes (roasted with butter).

Its odd though. I was looking at everyone else eating bread, rolls, pasta, etc...and I felt sorry for them. Has that happened to anyone?

Also, yesterday I was at the bank and the teller who helped me said "You are withering away! You do look good though". Kind of threw me for a loop because I am not used to people commenting on my weight loss. Its like I don't think its that noticeable.

Well, enough nattering...hope you are all having a great weekend!!
Many hugs,
Jane

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Congrats on "withering away" -- it's always nice when someone notices!! Congrats on doing pretty good at the wedding with food. I se people eating starches and just wonder why they are doing that to themselves! It's sad isn't it -- not long ago that was us....LOL.

Norah better drink her water over the weekend or I'm going to go whomp on her!!!! And Norman, I don't know what the heck you're talking about most of the time so I'll just leave you and your atomic absorption thingie to yourself....sounds like something that would leave a mark to me...LOL!!

Have a great Labor Day weekend folks - do they celebrate Labor Day on Mars Norm? Hogs and Kisses from the midwest (yes I said Hogs not hugs)

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

welcome imagood1 never too late to join in.

ive been a bad absent buddy, not been on plan for the last week this is not my fault, ive been really unwell with a nasty tummy bug was advised to stay away from low carbs just for these few days and just eat plain safe food like toast or crackers so my stomach will settle back to the way it was. To be honest first time i realised how much i enjoy eating atkins. So anyway took a break and coming back strong starting again tomorrow. Going to go and stock up on atkin friendly food this afternoon. Cant wait!!

hope all you buddies are doing great and having a wonderful weekend.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Awww Focus, so sorry you have been sick. There isn't much you can do in situations like that. Glad you are feeling better now though.

Carole, your post made me laugh this morning.

Hope everyone has a good day! Think it is lawn mowing day here.

[FLdoodette]

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

"Hogs and kisses" ... LOL! Oh Carole, you are a hoot!

Hi, focus! Sorry about the tummy bug ...blargh. I think when you're sick you should eat whatever stays down ... that's probably heresy around here, but, really ... whatever works!

Hey, Jane ... "withering away" sounds like one of those back-handed compliments; maybe a little envy thrown in there, y'know? Lap it up! I would

Yeah, Norman talks over my head most of the time, too ... heh heh! He's our resident brainiac; keeps us all on our toes! ;D

Nothing special planned for Labor Day. Throw some chicken legs in the oven, I guess. Or maybe make like the Swedish Chef: "De bear de bore de chickee in de pot ... bork! bork! bork!"

Group hug, Buddies!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

I made a major find at the grocery store today (had to go for 7-Up and ice cream for mom since she's not feeling well) -- they had chicken tenders (the little pieces off the back of chicken breast) -- for .99 a pounds. I got a package with 12 tenders for $1.46!! Here they are in the skillet - I did an egg wash and dredged them in parmesan cheese and fried them in olive oil. Lunch for a few days!! They were marked down because they needed to be sold before tomorrow....you can see this package started at $4.74 and I paid $1.46!!!



I lost my glasses while I was at the store so I went back to get them and ended up buying 4 more packages of the chicken tenders -- when I checked out I owed $5.00 even! In the 4 packages there were 43 tenders. I froze them individually on a cookie sheet and put them in a ziploc freezer bag - that way I can take out 2 or 3 or 10 at a time....I LOVE BARGAINS!!!!!

I'm off to bed -- have a great Labor Day!!
