I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Blue, you're a great lady.  You deal with so much yet still remain happy, loveable, and too too funny.  ((((BLUE))))

welcome Artsee

Today we went to Glamis Castle - absolutely lovely - spent a small fortune in the gift shop. They had some lovely cross stitch kits for a needle case, pin cushion and scissor keeper, so I bought them for me to do when we get home they will be well used when complete.

 The men are playing St Andrews today - not the old course unfortunately but the new one - they can still say they played there.

We will actually go there tomorrow for a cocktail party or prize giving thing. The tour finishes after tomorrow - can't wait to be on our own at last - then we have another week in Scotland - it is really beautiful - different from Ireland but lovely scenery too.

Hey AnnNYC- you and I are the same age and almost the same weight - we might be twins

Blue - sorry you are in pain sweetie - hope it passes soon.

Sue

Welcome Artsee .. please stay and post often!

Sue .. wonderful news that you are enjoying your trip.  Scotland sounds so beautiful.

Blue .. sure hope your arm feels better today.

Cindy .. hope you're feeling better today.

Mr. Tim just left for Minnesota.  Sure is quiet when he leaves.  I'm thinking of having someone create a professional website for my business.  I tried to do it myself last year and wasn't very successful.  I have a domain name that I can't remember or even how to access it.  Time to call in someone who knows what they're doing.  Maybe it will increase my business.  It's been so slow lately, and I am so stressed out because of it.

Finding a job in this area is out of the question with 24% unemployment and two more huge businesses set to close in the next month.  I don't know how the 99'ers are getting by.  This is such a depressed area.

Hope everyone has a good day,

Bren

Hi Enjoyful - No, we go to Loch Ness after 2 nights in Edinburgh. I'm definitely going out to look for her

God are there some strange people on this planet - there's this woman on the bus who is SO weird. We picked up our laundry this morning and I have a sock missing - no big deal, but I thought I would ask the others to keep a look out when they unpacked their stuff, just in case it had been left in a machine when the next load was done. When I mentioned it to her she freaked out - why would my washing be in hers, her blacks were only put in today etc etc - what a freakshow. Her partner looks almost young enough to be her son and she is a few sandwiches short of a picnic according to DH. You can see why I can't wait for this to be over. However, we have made some great friends too.

Sue

Hey, Artsee. You're brave to want to be associated with us. You are aware of our reputation, aren't you?

SusieQ - I'm also waiting to hear if you've seen Nessie. Be sure to take pics!

85, sunny and low humidity today. Perfect. It was 52 early this morning. And - I get to spend the afternoon meeting with my onc. Oh, well. At least his office is close to the Farmers' Mkt., so can pick up more tomatoes. They'll be gone pretty soon and it'll be back to Romas until next summer.

Blue - so hope you get some relief for your shoulder. Shoulders are a bitch and really affect everything you try to do. I need to hang a new shower curtain and am going to have to ask for help. I detest asking for help!

Ann and Susie. I weigh the same thing you do - guess I'm the twins' older sister. I weighed 135 pounds three years ago when I started on this delightful journey. What's fair about that?

 I thought that would give you a laugh.

Alison - I've actually lost weight since this whole thing started. Don't know how tall AnnNYC is though. I used to be 5' 9" but have shrunk.

Just found a great place to stay when we get back to London - near our son. I had THE most horrid dream last night - he was killed in a car accident - that has made me more determined to get as much time with him and the baby before we go home in spite of the DIL from hell.

As you can see I'm making the most of this internet access as I can seeing it cost so bloody much.

Sue

Susie - I "used" to be 5'9" also. I was really skinny at 135, so the first 15 pounds were good. The rest of them are "excess baggage".

I used to be 5'10" but am now 5'9", thanks to chemo and Arimidex.  Have I mentioned how much I hate Arimidex? 

I lost 22lbs during chemo but have put a little back on since my taste for chocloate returned. Also not really doing much exercise but plan to get back into it when we get home.

 DD said she only lowered my bike seat a little, now she confesses it was a lot. I thought they stopped telling lies when they grew up.

Damm - I plugged in the wee netbook when I got on - it's telling me the battery is low - didn't turn on the switch - my purchased time is nearly up anyway - will try to catch up soon.

Sue

Susieq - They don't stop lying, they just get better at it.
