tov m'od. had to ask my husband for that--it's beyond my actual ability in hebrew, i know a smattering of yiddish which is kinda fun to throw into conversations, 8)
i , too, feel very blessed and fortunate to have you as a friend and inspiration in my life. no pedestal, just a good friend. thank you!
tov m'od means thank you.

It is the nearly the last day of September, so time to start the new thread.
If you wish to participate in our weight loss adventure and journey, please go to
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-156684-1.htm#4327386
and sign up!
In anticipation of many, many great losers this month, please do NOT pm me if you have NOT lost more than 4 pounds this month.
Please place the weight loss in the subject line like this:
subject: I lost 29 pounds!
then finished the message. This makes it so much easier for me to find the biggest loser, rather than opening and reopening 40 or more emails.
I know we all did well as we stayed on track. Even if we didn't lose, we won, as we tried and successfully made changes to improve our health.
Come on over to the new thread and join up! It'll be a wild ride!

Leann - I hope you get your border on. What did you decide to use for the border? Take care of yourself - don't push it.
I finished the quilt so now it can go to church today to be put on display until the pig roast.

I am pleased with the purple border. It seems to make the top glow.
Have a great Thursday.

I was able to go off of my blood pressure meds this month. I think there may have been a diuretic in it. Is it possible that I am now retaining fluids? If so, what do you all suggest?

Surgery didn't happen as planned. I had another bronchoscopy done with deeper tissues taken for biopsy. The tumor is larger than they expected. More in the middle right lobe vs the lower right lobe. that is why surgery didn't go as planned.
now in a waiting pattern on biopsy results

lynne-- i 'm sorry. i didn't mean to be insensitive. i know you've been under the broiler all summer, and enough is enough. my husband has lost all his insulation so the house is now kept warm for his comfort, and i am in a bad mood from constantly being overheated. my only relief is to hit a store or mall and i have even less self-control there than in the refrigerator. grrrr.. i think, too, i just want to go home.

Cindy - will be praying that biopsy is good news.
Pam - How is Ethan doing, I've kept him on my prayer chain.
I went and signed in for Oct hope it's a better month. To many ill people this month.
I'm exhausted - it's been a hectic week for me and it will be straight through into next week. I have my EEG tomorrow and get to see the neurologist right after to get results. I'm not particularily worried - I don't think they'll find anything.
Everyone have a good day. Prayers are with you.

My daughter called me on my birthday. Her collage apartment had been robbed. She only lived there 9 days. They got her computer, calculator and some other things. Everyone is OK. Last week my husband was having numbness in his arm and weird feeling in his chest. Went to emergency. Luckily not a heart attack. Did an angiogram and put in a stent and he is OK. Same day my daughters car was towed. Cost her $176 to get it back. Fighting it in court. Enough! Next month will be better. 3 days to weigh in:(
You are right. Next month will be better.

my husband sometimes has on his regular clothes, a sweater, his jacket and a comforter pulled up to his chin. he just isn't right, you know?! i think they took out his thermostat when they took all the other stuff. also, with only one income he has persuaded me that the ac needs to be set hi. i am so glad to have him still that i put up with nearly anything. sorry i was complainy. i prefer piling things on til i'm warm opposed to taking everything off. once you get to nude, there's no where else to go!
speaking of clothes-- i have on a pair of myw 'next to normal' jeans.WOOOOHOOO and YEEEHAAW

I am up early for a meeting at school. I am sleeping too much during the day as I did not sleep last night. My weight is up - gotta get a handle on that. Need to get my skinny qtr ready to mail to our deserving winner.
Hubby taking me out for Mexican food for lunch. Another busy day. Hope I have the energy for it. Will be the first time hubby has been out in 2 weeks. He has cabin fever.
