^^ MELTING in Tuesday! ^^

Hi Shannon baby! I know, I am forcing myself to keep trying around here, I do not want our little group to sorta "fade away" due to the new site darn it.
When you have time, please post your pic cause I miss it!

I changed my avatar, you have to make them so small, my pic looks muddled and stupid. So back to ole honey lips. It reminded me of a sexier "silence of the lambs" pic....one of my favorite movies, well actually I love all of those creeped out movies with Sir Anthony Hopkins.:D;):p:cool:Ha! I had to use up my smiley quota "just because!"

BTW, we bought the larger boat. Yep, we will not be living full time on it just yet, will not even have it on our possession for a few months or so. We traded this boat for that one, plus a large chunk of change, its seriously like floating house, it makes DH giddy and happy, which makes me smile.

Hi everyone! Things are not going well in the land of remodeling, but I will spare you the details...I have a zillion errands to do today, so I only have a minute.

I just want to give all of you lovely ladies a big ((((HUG))))) cause I love ya!

Darn, Shelley, I didn't know you had to cancel the RT! That sucks. I am so sorry. I know that you will be missed. ((((HUGS))))

Deb, I visited someone's MySpace page and it listed me as a visitor to it. Then, I noticed that how long I had been on, where I had last posted, etc. was being visibly tracked. Some of that was already done on the old site, but having a record of who visits who's page kind of bothered me. I am not even sure why!

Hi to Tneah, Leanne, Robin, Kristi, Allison, Shannon, BG, Peggie, Lanie, and Emily!!!

Oh, and CONGRATS to Tneah and Dh for the boat purchase! How fun!!!

Talk later,

Kara
 
Good morning, all!

Wow! Our post was at the bottom of page 3 for me. I tried changing how things show up the other day, and thought it took care of this issue. I'll check out Shelley's tip. I'm grumbling about the new forums still, too. Like Robin said, though, I'm trying to remain hopeful since Lainie is positive about them. But that really is awful that we can't be our expressive selves since we're limited on our smilies!

Now, gals, I'm really worried that, like Tneah said, our little group will melt away b/c we hate the new forums. We need to be positive and know that these new forums will soon "click" for us, right? Right?!

Shelley -- {{{HUGS}}}, sweetie! We were so worried about you yesterday. Let us know if you need to talk or anything, OK?

Deb -- Eeks about that mouse! We had a mouse problem at my work a few years ago, and one day, as I was grabbing my lunch pail off of my desk and heading home, a mouse jumped out! Seems he had been snacking on something of mine. My DH couldn't understand why I tossed the lunch pail into the trash on my way out. :rolleyes: To set the time zone, you need to go into your Control Panel for the forums, not the one on your computer.

Robin -- Thanks for checking out the quick reply; I had been wondering about that, too, but hadn't bothered to check it out. That nightmare sounds awful! On a totally different note, LOL about you rating our thread as "excellent"!

Kristi -- Good luck today! I'll be sending you positive vibes. I miss the intimacy of the old forums, too. :(

Peggie -- Oh no! The Irritated-with-the-Forums Bug has caught you, too, huh?! Sorry that your DH isn't feeling well, but hopefully you'll have time to play around a bit and get your workout in later on.

Allie -- Glad you sound cheerier today! Did you end up telling your dad yesterday that you wouldn't talk to your mom about the anniversary?

Emily!!! -- It's so good to see you! I knew that you and Lainie would be our resident computer gurus! Sorry that the Eddie Man is an arse! Mmm . . . that bread sounds delicious!

Tneah -- I'll join you for cookies, too! Are the boys coming in soon? Let's think about when we can get together next! I had soooo much fun last week! That's so great that the boat deal went through, and that you're so positive about it. Will you be able to keep the house in Vegas? Do you think that you'll permanently leave the boat in San Diego? It would be so much fun to have you here full-time, so to speak!

Kara -- Hope those errands don't keep you too busy today! I'm so sorry that the re-modeling stuff is so crazy! {{{HUGS}}}!

Lainie -- How are you doing today, chica? I got an email that Loft is having some good sales right now. I may need to check that out . . .

Shannon -- Sounds like you're busy at work today! Is that a good thing? Please keep posting -- the more we post, the more we'll get used to it! I'd hate to see our group dwindle out!:(

Breckie -- Are you back at work today? Did you kick Aunt Flo's bootie again with your workout? Hope so! Have you heard back from Mr. Trainer? We're still waiting to cheer you on!!
 
Hey everyone -

Tneah - Congrats on the boat. Does that make you happy? I like your honey lips.

Leanne - where are you? I just finished the kettlebell DVD by Lauren Brooks. www.ontheedgefitness.com Okay, that was really HARD. I loved it. She has such a nice voice and she is just the cutest little thing. She is only 28 and looks like she is about 15. I was surprised at how hard the workout was. I think it is geared more toward women. Holy crap there is a ton of squats and lunges. Of course the squats are with the swings and such, but seems to be a ton. I like the set up. For 2 minutes she will do two or three different things in that two minute period, then rest for 1 minute, and then repeat the cycle again. I think there are about 10, I don't know I'm just guessing, because quite frankly my frickin' arms are a little tired. During the 45 minute workout, I burned almost 500 calories. It kicks your butt. I really liked it a lot.

Allie - you sound good today

Shannon, Shelley, Breckie, Lainie, Kristi, Kara, Robin - Hey kittens. Hope I did not miss anyone. I will be back later for more personals.http://planetsmilies.net/obscene-smiley-1023.gif
 
Tneah - Well, here's an embarrassing thing. I don't think I can post my avatar because... I can't remember where in the heck it is. :-0 I can't remember which site I used to host it, and I sure can't remember what my password is. Sigh. And now I don't have any way to get a new one... I don't have any digital capacity at home.

Kara - I sure hope you survive the remodeling!! I really feel sorry for you!

I have a little rush job to handle, but after that's over I may have time to come back and explore a bit more, and see if I can figure this place out.

I would like to say one thing: I did Imax 2 last night, and for the first time I can honestly say that I felt no discomfort at all in my calf. Not one itty bitty twinge. Whoopeee!!!

I'll never learn how to use these smilies.
 
Hey again!

I usually read yesterday's posts before posting in the morning, but forgot to do that this morning since I was so frustrated trying to find today's post. And now I had trouble finding this post again -- it doesn't seem to want to save the way that you view the thread. OK, enough venting!

Anywho, Tneah, just wanted to say sorry that you channeled my pita chips vibe last night. :( Aren't those things so terribly addictive? You know, if you don't like circuit workouts and didn't like the sample clip, then I don't think you'll like the Dove workouts. I was thinking that I could bring mine next time we meet so you can take a peek on them if you bring a laptop.

Peggie -- Hey kitten! Naw, our little Melty Mascot isn't showing up. Ug! The same thing happened yesterday when I tried to post the pictures of the shoes I bought. Oh, that workout looks like sooo much fun, and I loved reading your review of it! I think I may need to get it, but I've been trying to hold off on buying stuff since I still need to pick up a few tops for the RT. Your description of it sounds awesome!! MUST. RESIST. Right? Or you can talk me right into ordering it by telling me how badly I need it. ;) How is DH feeling? ETA: Oh, I just checked out the website you posted, and she's from San Diego! Maybe Tneah and I will have to see if she teaches locally . . . .

Shannon -- We were just posting at the same time! Glad your calf didn't bother you during Imax 2! That is awesome! I'm trying to think of a way to get your photo on-line. Do you have any family members with digital cameras? Does Shelley or Robin maybe have a photo of you? I miss seeing your beautiful, smiling face!

Hey Chica's,

Peggy, I went to order that workout, you enabler you!:p But I will not use Paypal, I had issues with someone trying to use my account a while back, shoot, wonder if you can order that workout somewhere else?

Leanne, hum, let me see whats up this week, next week for sure though. I think we have to move into the hotel this weekend through next Tuesday to allow the inspectors to come aboard and evaluate our boat...its for the trade thing we are doing. So lets shoot for next Wednesday or Thursday for sure?

Oh you guys, my hip flexor or something on my right hip is giving me so much grief, plus I torked my right shoulder doing that stupid workout last night, I took some ibuprofen though, hope it helps.

I was watching people running this morning as I walked Georgie, and some folks just should not run, I mean it hurts me to see them plod along, wouldn't they get more out of it walking at a faster clip? I am convinced not all of us should run.:p Just some early morning musings...I posted my measurements as of this am on my blog. I think I might weigh myself too...am feeling a little better since AF arrived, but really need to watch my vino and carb intake now. I can "go off the deep end" so to speak. I wish I did not have to watch myself like a hawk, but as I get older I really need to I think. My waist line is showing my dietary transgressions....ugh.:mad:
 
Tneah and Leanne - I think she does classes. There is a bunch of info on her website. Tneah, I will do some research and find out if there is another way for you to order it. I think you will really like it.

It is Tayler who is sick, she has a terrible cold and probably sinus infection. Oh well, she's been blowing snot out all morning and seems to feel better. I loaded her up on oregano and garlic and immunition and that has helped a lot.

Okay, I will be back. I am going to find information for Tneah.
 
Just lost my post - Fu#$

Tneah - The phone number is 858-336-9426. Hopefully they should be able to help you place the order. You will like it. I am sure.

Leanne - she does have classes the week of July 28th. Drop in rates are $23. You need to call or e-mail for availability. That would be fun for you and Tneah.

Oh - I totally forgot to tell you guys my good news.

At work I got selected for the full-time ERT (evidence response team) slot. I am so excited. Now I have to go to training, probably in September for two weeks.

It is Tayler who is sick. She has a rotten cold and probably a sinus infection. I have been loading her up with garlic, oregano and immunition and she seems much better. She has been blowing out a bunch of snot, so is starting to get rid of it.

Talk to you kittens later.

Hi everyone else.
 
Hey ladies!

Just got done ordering some beads to try to make a bracelet for Cathe for the RT. I'm not sure if the idea is silly or not, but thought it would be fun!

Peggie -- Oops! I'm sorry -- I thought you said that DH was sick! I'm glad that Tayler is feeling a bit better this morning! Being sick is so awful! :( ETA: Oh, thanks for posting that info about the KB woman! That would be so fun to take a class with her! Great news on that new position! That sounds like it would be really exciting! Does that mean that you get to go investigate crime scenes? Whatever it is, the title sure sounds neat, and what a fun change of pace it'll be for you! Where will the training be at?

Tneah -- Good morning, chica! I know -- I want that new KB workout, too! I hate using PayPal, too, since it doesn't seem secure. Would you want to take a KB class with that woman? That would be fun! Looks like she has some classes starting next week: http://mykettlebellgroup.blogspot.com/. It looks like they are evening classes . . . it might be fun to take one class a week with her for the three weeks and then we could get some dinner afterwards! Just keep me posted on when you can get together -- it sounds like things will be super busy there! I know that next week might be a little hectic towards the end of the week since I'll be heading up to L.A. next Friday for the weekend to take some beading classes. (I'll be staying at a motel up there and will be gone for three days.) Do you have to move all of your stuff off the boat while you're in the hotel? Now if only dang BIL wasn't here, I'd tell you and Mitch to come stay with us! :) I love your reflections on the running folks! I think I'm one of those people who shouldn't run either. ;) Hey, I was thinking about how I loved how you started us posting our daily workouts in more detail when we were at Figgyville. That would be fun to continue! Of course, my workouts are all with videos, so nothing too exciting to share.

Love and smooches to all you wonderful gals!

Hey Leanne - I still will be the office manager, as well as on ERT. It is a collateral (sp) duty. When we have a crime scene, such as a murder or something like that. Any of the agent can have ERT members come and process the crime scene. Collect evidence, take pictures, that kind of thing. It should be fun. I went with one of the agents a couple of weeks ago and processed a house with ALS, alternative light source, in order to find semen. yeah, I know, gross. It was interesting though. The training used to be at Quantico, but I am not sure now if it is still there.

I think I am starting to get used to the new forums. I mean, it's basically the same, just looks a little different. I will always do my best to find you guys. Our little group will not go away.

BBL
 
Mmmmmmmmmm.... snot.

Shannon - I have two really great pics of you from Niagara on the Lake. Let me know if you want the URLs so you can choose one to use as an avatar.
 
Now melters! Let's keep calm and patient. I'm sure the problems with the check-in forum will get taken care of in time. At least we have each other, right? Even if it is a bit of a struggle to find us.

Tneah, hooray for DH and his new house-sized boat. Now you guys can cruise around the country, visiting all us other melters.

Emily, no fair posting about cookies when you don't have any.

Shannon, hang in there, sweetie pie. You are too smart to let a mere computer rattle you.

Leanne, I think you making Cathe a bracelet is great! In fact, I think you making all the Melters bracelets is great too! Oh, what, you weren't making us all bracelets?;)

Peggie, congratulations on the new position. Hugs and chicken soup to Tayler.
 
Hey ladies!

OK, I really need to go start my workout instead of goofing around so much this morning. I have Amy B's In the Ring scheduled, which is always fun. I was thinking that I may not take my rest day this Thursday since next weekend (Aug. 1-3) I'll be up in L. A. taking some beading classes, and won't be able to work out for three days. I also won't be able to check in that weekend since I don't have a laptop. :(

Shelley -- Oh, I do hope that one of those photos of Shannon will work out! How are you doing, babe? How has Karen been?

Robin -- Yes, very good advice for us all to be calm and patient with these new forums. We shall find each other!! Great idea about the jewelry -- I'd love to do that! I should get some measurements and ideas from our lovely gals and get to work on some jewelry for everyone! It's always hard to make things with seed beads for other people since the measurements have to be just right, but I could do some simple stringing stuff really easily. :)

Peggie -- Snot and semen in one day?? :D That is seriously so cool that you'll be doing that ERT job! It sounds like it'll be so interesting!!
 
Well, my wonderful friend Shelley has come through on the avatar. We're working on it!! Yay! Now I have to go to a pesky staff meeting. Boo! BBL, maybe.
 
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.... semen. KIDDING!!! I would put a winky smilie in here, but since they don't seem to work, just imagine one.

A house-sized boat sounds very jaunty! Tneah, I hope you keep the Vegas house, because I can't come visit you on a boat!
 
I am not going to comment on the semen comment. But I think SEMEN is the word of the day now.

Yay for Shannon's new, improved and soon to be displayed avatar.

So I just spent 45 minutes cleaning out my inbox. I have a bad habit of reading my messages, then just leaving them to molder away. Now it's time to go home!!!! Hmmmm, still no idea what workout to do today though. I'm not very inspired today.
