Good day (31)

32lbs is a lot of weight to lose,i had a check up last week and have to lose at least a stone --it isnt going to be easy as long as you are happy ruth that is the main thing.

what have you "cut out" to lose so much --whats your secret??

I am, James.  I needed to do it.  I had hit the big two-oh-oh and that meant I was just about 30-40 lbs overweight.  So I'm about where I should be now and I'm not goin back!

Try a nice brisk walk in the mornings and hold off on anything that has sugar in it until evening.  That's how I did it.

Good Day, enjoy the day!

Hi there all POE forumites!!  Hope you are all having a wonderful day!!

Mike seems to have come through his surgery well today - Really hoping this time there will be no side effects or additional problems created! 

Good for Mike...I have an sister in-law in OHSU with an possible brain tumor...I'll be talking to her later on...they were still doing an lot of testing when my brother Jim called me yesterday....I bought her an little something to take to her....it's way over in west Portland and not an place I want to go to by myself. 

I'm having serious computer problems with about 15 windows showing up everytime I try to get on the internet....and it's hard to get on and wants to shut down on me...and an host of things going on...may not be in quite as regular as I was...the "cause" of this may be my hubby's computer.

I aso started another physical regiume for myself also...one of "anti-aging" more or less...my side of my face has went down from the tooth, but am picking up "infection" that wants to leave my body in little "globs"...I carry an hankerchief with me these days, and could use an spitton perhaps getting up every morning...hope that goes away, still have 10 more amoxicillin pills and the dental date is 17 days away...why they did that one I have no idea..I really don't trust an "staff" that refuses to let me see the doctor for some reason...the meds don't seem compaitble with as long an inverval until I see the oral surgeon...if I get to see him, it will be the third attempt at doing that. . I think even the other doctor I did see... had some questions about why such an long wait before seeing him. I am now reading about an "diet" people have long told me is the way to go and that is an mediterrean diet...also known over here as the "Sonoma" diet....though I think giving up butter would be hard to do...for all olive oil only...I have heard that is an healthier way to go. I doubt there are enough fresh foods out there this time of the year to start it without going bankrupt from the food prices...but it has me out measuring my plates I eat off...one has to be 7 inches and the other 9 inches...and one bowl that holds two cups. They produce self measured portions in the dieting. You don't have to count calories, just know the food stuffs to use and not use...but they want to make aware of the fact we all eat to much food these days as it is...besides often the wrong kind. Should be an exception.... not an daily way of life.

My "women mystics" book is moving right along...it must of been very hard for many of these women growing up in an convent life at such an young age, many of them mere toddlers...they didnt' "play" as kids....and of course by the time they became teenage girls they had the problem of sex and needing "love" also...and often found persecution instead.  Many of them apparently took to finding an type of "estacy" love in the Lord. In fact they said an few of them the more hysterical they got in the church rituals..the more satisfaction they obtained...until the priest felt they were playing with the devil instead. They died in old age ready for it...accepting it....and seem to have made thier diaries one of an life long "searching" more then one of completeness in the realization of happiness. They recieved an excellent education though....and did an lot for others...through their sufferings...do you think the people back then realized thier suffferings.....as people are easy to forget the other person once thier needs are met. I am about half way through the book. Women's  lives have never been easy ones.  They often can not fulfill the role of life most people expect of them...and are called sinners if they can't...just havig been born of mankind.  In this case they self-afflicted themselves as being sinners to just be alive from day to dain thier service in the convent. I find their "visions" very simliar to the Native Americans. They too would put themselves in an kind of mental/physical mind of suffering to be visionary...to receive the "Holy Word" from beyond....almost in an trance like state. I keep reading...I'm into the most improtant chapters in it her soon...one people that may of been affilated in fammily lineages of the past. 

I listened to "coasttocoast" last night with Travis Walton...he was in 1975 abducted..though he's not sure about that completely....as they may of taken him from an shot of light beamed at him from approaching the UFO to closely... to save his life.. he fought them and tried to escape while he was inside the craft..and eventually he blanked out and woke up 5 days later along an road. He said that his tremendous "fear" and not knowing what they had in mind for him is why he fought them. He wishes now he could of calmly talked to them and kind of regrets that..but he doesn't know if any of his anwers would been answered...he said so far they weren't being answered when he all but tried to attack them all...he felt the conditons inside of the craft did not help...high humidity and to warm, very small enclosed space...he could barely "breathe"...wounded from the laser...and in pain....alone from other humans.  Down on the ground...with his logging buddies that were with him, took off thinking they had killed him with the laser strike, they took off...to later decide to go back there again...and not find him there...they went to the police...and they started an "hell" for them in investigating the incident....he said last night that Arizonia has laws where the body doesn't have to be found to convict someone of murder. He had one of his companions on last night that said there was one invesigator that offered him an bribe of $10,000 to say the whole thing was an "hoax"....followed him from state to state bugging him about the incident. He said to the audience...the Government tells us that they don't exist and refuse "disclosure" and yet here it was before him...here the "humanoids" were before him....and he wonders why others only unrealstically... don't believe that they truly are on mother earth. Ufo's are just an fantasic read in an book of someone else's encounters...and an fantasy perhaps. He kind of says..."wake up people" of the world...they ARE out there. You know I went up to James Gilliland's Trout Lake, Washington home many years ago to see his UFO films....he is an contactee. But scientists have found something up there that compares with with Travis Walton investigation story..unusal and .rapid growth amoung the tree's where the UFO was seen to been. This makes me think they run thier craft off some kind of nucular energy...that causes "radiation"...and I have for an very long time now felt that they know the way to stopping "Cancer" growth from that....as some woman said they had cured her literally on her death bed.  I have an lot of strange things that have happened to me that makes me feel they have visitied me in the past also. I cannot say I remember it though...just that things have changed on  my body "physically" that are not there after somewhere around 1978 to 1979....that would normally require an surgical procedure to change....though I was never admitted for such surgery to my knowledge in my waking life. So I find this subject kind of interesting sometimes...and scarey at times also...we tend to want our lives and everyone in them "benevolent" and help us to understand  the situation and be "truthful" also. Perhaps the "child" in us maybe? I go for now...if I'm not in it may because until things change on my computer I can't get in as much.....it angers me...we pay constantly to have them...I wish they worked better..... Talk to you later on....have an good day...week in general.

Crikey Shirley I'll have to go through that again! lol
