gg,
I live somewhere warm, but we are expecting a big winter rain storm. Trees go down, lights go out.
Very inconvenient. My son loves it. He's preparing the flashlights and collecting the candles :)
So you're just alright? (Guess that's good around here.)
Enjoy the warm!
(Oh, Valentine's was never a day for me anyways. I like birthdays lots. Those are big.)

FB I sure did as it was a back view so no one saw my face. My Father was alive at the time and showed it to me in the American Legion newsletter. I know I nearly flipped when I saw it myself!!!! Love Phillipa

Hey GG!
I'm doing well. I met someone on an online dating site. I think he likes me. We're going on our second date soon. We've been chatting online.
Work is the same as usual. How are you?

Thanks. So far, so good. It was a planned surgery.
I like warmer better than bitter cold, but my joints swell more in summer, so I actually am achier then.

Hi! I'm good. Today is my day off and it's nice to see some activity around here.
so far, today I...drove my boyfriend to the airport, went shopping and bought 2 dresses, and bought ice cream.

Hi sid. Glad you're staying afloat. I hope that it's more floating than struggling. Floating without having to struggle to stay that way sounds relaxing, doesn't it?
I'm doing okay. I wouldn't say I'm depression-free, but I feel like I'm headed in the right direction. I always feel more depressed when I'm physically sick, though. I just want to sit and stare into space when I don't feel well.
I recently started getting back to taking my vitamins and supplements regularly again. I never realized how much calcium, magnesium, and B-comp affected my mood, because I feel better when on them regularly. I also started taking some D, since I'm one of those folks who probably don't make enough on my own. We'll see how that goes.
Happy hump day!

That's exciting, deneb. I know more and more folks are doing online dating. Just be smart and safe. I think it's great that you are getting out there. You always have such courage in trying new things. It's one of the things I admire about you. :)

That all sounds like fun, except maybe taking bf to the airport. I'm away from my husband at the moment. I miss him. :(
Today I'm taking it easy. I'm babysitting a three year old for a few hours this afternoon. He's a riot. And then later today I'll be trying to install a hand-held shower and a shelf in my mom's shower stall. I've never changed a shower head before, so I hope it's easy and doesn't leak. Wish me luck! :)
Good to see you.

Hi gg :) Yeah, bf will be gone for 2 weeks. I will miss him a lot.
Sounds like you are having a fun afternoon. I have never changed a shower head either. But you should be proud of yourself for doing it. good luck!

I've got like a large amount of vitamins, but I've stopped taking all but the multi and the b complex
I've got some folic acid, some calcium with D, and some vitamin C chewablesI don't bother with the glucosamine and MSM right now because my joints haven't really felt badly. I did though recently, have a flare up. My knee got slightly injured too. It might be a good time to take that now.
and the calcium plus D - I think that's something I need.

I need to take vitamins regularly, but find I stop. Always some reason: forgot, some upset my stomach. I also suspect self-sabatoge. Oh well... My son, however, gets his daily. Hmmmm. Bingo! Maybe I need kids' vitamins. At least some way to get B vit down....
I didn't notice any fish oils. My friend was told by the Amen Clinic, (yes, she had a brain scan!) that Krill oil is king. (There goes Elvis.)
It's warm-ish here, or a little brisk for a CA gal like me. And I feel awful! Back, GI, head-like-a-hangover, (I don't drink.) Phooey. Maybe soon some garden time. A super frost killed off most of our early plantings--peas :( Oh, well. Try, try again.

> How is everyone?
Hi GG,
Today I'm much better thanks:)
I posted on here over the last couple of days. I was thinking of the old days. I guess I got depressed, I think all the Japan stuff (and hey! its doesn't effect me at all, so WHY it should get me down!!!)
poor people over there have some reason if they felt down! Beats me why I couldn't cope for a while, and started thinking of the old days on here. Also had a bit of stress over past weeka s well I guess.
Anyways, hi there everyone (used to be tealady).

Hey, there's no contest or minimum requirement for feeling down. We just do at times.
I miss the old days here, too. We had so many laughs and tears and so much more. I'm glad you reached out today. It's good to see you. :)

I do like gardening, though I have trouble being consistent with it. I've had some work done recently on the house, which has resulted in me needing to re-do some of the flower beds. This time I hope to have more of a concept or plan instead of gardening willy-nilly. We'll see how that goes.How are you?

I never realized how much they helped until I started back up taking them regularly.

Sorry about the flare ups. Pain sucks. Hopefully you're feeling better now.
> and the calcium plus D - I think that's something I need.
Be careful about D. The first bottle I bought was way, way too much for me. I felt terrible almost immediately. Just a little bit more than what's in my multi-vitamin and calcium seems to do that trick. Though it may also be the arrival of spring.
Have a great weekend.
