Sorry I missed you this evening.  I'm heading for bed - it's been a long day.  It has been cooler today, and 62 degrees tonight about 6:00 p.m.  We have had about 1 inch of rain.  That may solve some problems, just so it doesn't turn hot again too soon.  Tomorrow I'm going to the Center to walk, whatever comes my way.  Didn't make it today. 

Have a great night, and talk to everyone tomorrow.

Frustrated seems to be my mood on this new board. I still don't know what I am doing and when I tell it to go somewhere it takes me back to the beginning post on 7/23--go figure!! I started with page 1 and read through and found I had missed several posts I had not seen before. It is supposed to take me to new messages--which I assume are messages posted since I last read the board or posted myself. For whatever reason I am finding this very frustrating and I too miss the numbering system and several other things. I am hoping it will get better with use. Right now it is just very frustrating!!

Spent the day waiting for service men. A/C guy came and added coolant and washed my coils. Said they were pretty dirty so now I am cooling down very nicely thank you. Then my computer tech came to install my all-in-one I just got in. I think it will be great once I learn how to use it. Printed out a sheet of pictures from Joyce that look great! I got a phone call and the fax tried to come on since I don't get my phone on first 3 rings usually and it takes 5 rings for the answering service to come on. I have got to figure out how to set the fax not to answer but will do fax manually. I now have a really good scanner I am not using. New machine has a scanner too. I am terrible trying to learn by reading manuals since I never know what they are talking about in the manual. I don't speak computer language at all which makes me a "show me, let me do it while you watch" type of learner. I just hope all the challenges at once, new board, new printer, doesn't make me just not get on the computer except to play cards. LOL:) Guess we will see.

Hope all have had a good day and will check back tomorrow to see if I can get the latest messages since posting this one. I think I have read all up to mine. Who knows??? Hugs to all, Sandra

If you have edited your Profile to indicate "newest" first, and size of print, it will not recognize that request when you come back each time, UNLESS you LOG IN first.  Once you LOG IN, the specifications on your profile will kick in.  It will change from oldest (7/23) to present date and print will be enlarged (if that is what you want).   I keep posting this, for all those new posters, because I know this is confusing.  I think our old board recognized us, even if we didn't log on, possibly.  I know once I originally logged on and requested remember username and password, I didn't have to do it again.  Now we need to enter our password each time.  I even had to enter my username once, after I had requested "remember" earlier.  SO Don't forget your username too.  lol   They may ask for it, unexpectedly.

Have a great night.

"You must make exercise motivating by choosing an activity that you enjoy doing and that you can do with a reasonable level of skill."  Dr. Phil

Good Morning everyone-just popping in to wish you all a wonderful day!  Yesterday I did manage the 15 minute jog, so the weather here is better.

     I am saddened by the loss of the four Boy Scout leaders at the Jamboree. They were great leaders and mentors to many boys. Please join me in offering a prayer of comfort for their families.

Woke up this morning with the temp at 55 degrees.  Pretty cool!  Skies are clear - Ozone ok, pollen better, mold may go up because of the rain, but all in all, things are better.  Went to bed with sinus drainage, couldn't sleep, and mind was whirling around WLC issues.  Drank some Echinacea tea, finally got to bed about 11:00.  Woke up at 6:00.  BG was 101, sinus better.  Had a light bulb moment.  We were talking about Project Status last night, and I had thought I was doing that, had been for 2 yrs.  But - don't you love that word, I think Dr. Phil says that word negates whatever I just said, and this is really what I believe - - -

Project means there is an end of it (someday) to me.  Like my WOBing "project" - hopefully there will be an end to it.  And I suppose in the WLC issue - "someday" I will reach my goal.  Does that end the "project"?  That's where my faulty thinking is coming from.  Even in a day by day situation, the intention is to be on "project" status, but other things sometimes take precedent and become the "project" of that day. 

I need to be on "my" Project status 24/7, for the rest of my life.  This is a lifestyle change.  Being diabetic and no meds - this is my medicine.

I have made a decision to use the forms (which I designed long ago) on a daily basis.  I can be mentally on track, but without the written verification, I'm not positive that is true.  I need to be careful that I keep on a schedule and not skip meals or snacks (just as someone taking medicine on a regular on-going basis must). 

Just wanted to share this, but must close this, in case I'm taking too long to type it and lose it - like I did one yesterday.

I've been listening to Dr.P. and hey hes still got the same message as before.He sorta said smartin' up Carole.So I have .Thanks for all your encouragement.I'm not going to let this board frustrate me one bit.If I ever mange to get a picture in the side instead og the message it may be the first miracle i have ever performed,LOL.

Joyce its not your Mac it just works when it wants to.I'll be glad if they ever get the online diary going because I used it every day.I could get all my rants and raves out right there.

Gotta go but will try to get back tonight and so have a great day and get those buns movin' and be happy! Den Mom Carole.

Those boy scout leaders are in my prayers and their families.What a terrible accident.
