Oh, hey there Melee, how goes it? Well I actually meant to post this on the main board, just because so many of us are outside in the sun etc... anyway, had a bit of a cancer scare:O. I had a little spot on my neck/shoulder, that I'd just kind of been ignoring...anyway my sister came into town and saw it, insisted I get it looked at and well....turns out it was melanoma. And for those of you that don't know melanoma can be very deadly:(, it's the skin cancer that can and does go to organs, usually lungs, lymph nodes, brain:( anyway they caught mine fairly early, of course for a week or 2 I was wandering around the house humming the theme from Love Story LOL, before I got all the results back. they still had to cut a pretty big chunk out of my neck to get all the margins, but it's healing fairly well, and I don't think it'll leave too bad of a scar. So!!! if you see anything suspicious on yourself or anybody else, get it looked at!!! Don't be a knucklehead like me, if caught early they can take care of it fairly easyly. And being as most of us on this board probably spend a great deal of time out in the sun, make sure you wear hats, sunscreen, etc.....ok enough preaching from the Boopster. Oh and Melee, I'll have to post some more pics of Hudson, hes getting HUGE!!!!!!! How are your horses doing? Done any yakin' lately? Poochella, how's Mikey the Brittney getting on? Has he settled into country life yet? We spent the weekend at the coast with the folks we got Liz from,they brought her sister Lil, I'll have to post some pics of her too, they look so much alike I almost brought the wrong dog home! anyway our house at the coast is not all that big, and we had FIVE Border Collies down there with us:) but a good time was had by all.

luckygal~ I realy like the idea of using a stump. Last winter at the woodlot there was a huge old weathered chunk of a palm tree trunk I coveted. Looked like an elephant foot. Stood up it would have been about waist high. SO heavy and dh wasn't feeling well, so I never did get it, but I sure did love it. That was a favorite saying of my mother's~ time waits for no man. Thank you for your thoughts. I will follow that link tomorrow. beck~Very cool idea about the time/thyme. In fact I was just drooling over some in a catalogue. Would like to do some inbetween some stepping stones. Hey, that might be a good place for the phrases too. The stepping stones around a garden seat. Will have to keep that in mind. Very cool idea about the east/west, morning glory/moonflower, sunrise/sunset thing, too. Gosh, I can just picture it! I adore morning glories. I've got some Grandpa Ott and a skyblue one growing in pots right now, and fragrant moonflower grows wild along my roadside. I just may have to incorporate those ideas (in some form) into the master plan... :) Thank you for your thoughts. ladytexan~ What a lovely saying that is. I will post pics if I ever actually DO this. It's at the daydreaming stage right now. Thank you for your input.

Her weight has killed our sex life.
Q
Comments (39)
Very true. I can lose 5lbs in a week. Loss of inches is more significant than loss of lbs anyway. A person will gain nearly .5 just from drinking 8oz of water. If you weigh yourself in the morning, you will weigh less than in the afternoon. Your DH can worry all he likes about you ballooning up like so-and-so, but that's like worrying you'll turn into an alcoholic because you had two beers after dinner instead of one. The weight isn't the real issue. It can't be. And if it is, pardon me, but your DH is an idiot. If you're that concerned, walk an extra 1/2-1 hour a day. Drink more water. Eat more leafy greens and whole grains and the 5lb will drop off in no time. But the stress of worrying about it is more damaging to your health than the actual weight. I would be worried more about the remarks he is making to you to make you lose interest in your sex life. That's a detriment to your losing weight too. Sex is a great workout!

Yes, I did Kat. Didn't want to come home, usually on vacation you want to get home after so long, well, not this time. The most peaceful thing I did was swimming in a natural hot spring. The ocean pouring in through a gap in the rocks and warm spots of water. We swam and I floated on my back, so peaceful except when I thought about what was swimming in there with us-lol. I also spent nearly every day walking around coconut island and the Japanese gardens in the morning, and took a book to read in the shade of a big tree.

One fun thing we did was go to the lava flow at night. We had gone during the day earlier in the week and couldn't really see anything but heat rising off in the distance, even though we were only 75 yards from the flow. So, we went back at night hoping to see the glow from the lava, but it wasn't flowing that night. So, my friend, Esther, decides to drive to the crater (Kiluea's). It takes us a while to get there and it starts pouring rain and the wind picks up. So, the temp drops and it's raining and windy when we get to the crater. Esther is very tiny and was wearing shorts so she stayed about 2 seconds to look at the crater. I stayed longer and tried to take a picture, then decided to take a movie of it. Then I had to run to the bathroom and ended up in the men's room! I have no idea how I did that because I looked at the signs outside, and there were urinals when you first came in but I didn't see them. I just had to go so bad. Then a man came in and used one of the urinals. I wonder if he saw my purse on the floor and what he thought about the "guy" with with red and yellow flowered purse! LOL!

We also went to the Hilton on the other side of the island. The place is so beautiful, lots of oriental statues everywhere, a boat and train take you from one end of the resort to the other. We ate at a restaurant for lunch overlooking the dolphins. After spending a few hours there we went to a luau overlooking the ocean in Kona with the sun setting behind them. Beautiful.
