Always Something to Talk About!~ :O)

After 3 hours on the phone going back and forth I think (you never know) my heart doctor agreed to send the cardiopthorcic my report and pictures--also got the whole referral thing straightened out--so, maybe, just maybe when I get to the doctor's office at 9:15 AM (UGH!!) we can talk about my options.

Something is bothering me--I could never understand a gay person vote republican just as I don't understand saying that if Hillary (or Obama) don't get the nomination they will vote for McCain or not vote at all--both are such stupid moves!

For the first time in years I didn't go food shopping today--on Thursday--since I have to take Allen and John down to the Miami airport in the morning (we will leave my place at 4:30 AM--I just won't go to sleep until I get home) I thought I could stop at the supermarket and then pick up my clothes at the cleaners on the way home.

I have decided no more double posting by c & p my blogs here and put them on the other site--not too many people are over there and very few will comment--I think I might also unsubscribe to those who post here and there to cut my e-mail-in box down--as it is I get about 70-80 e-mails a day!!!

I forgot to mention a little shockaroo I got yesterday at my primary doctor's office when I stepped on the scale--I had put on 11 pounds in the 3-4 months since I last saw him--I told everyone here at Gateway NO MORE SWEETS--Babs has been getting me all kinds of sweets (cakes, pies, cookies, coffee cakes, etc.,) every Monday THROUGH Thursday mornings and every once in awhile Emily has baked me a cheesecake or key lime pie--so no more sweets until I lose the 11 pounds--I have sort of been playing games with my weigh-ins every Monday and Thursday and kept off getting back to being serious about the pounds--starting today, NOW, I am back on the diet!


It is funny though--as many of you know I have kept a record
of what I have weighed EVERY Monday and Thursday since March 30, 1967---I always show a weight gain in May and a loss in June--luckily I can lose weight pretty fast and the 11 pounds should be off in about 10 days.

Absolutely beautiful day here today in South Floria!!

I use standard. It has nothing to do with mybloggers...the posting part...it has to do with my computer. This old dinosaur with it's very limited "what's left" of a memory can not handle some things and sites as good as some other things and sites...it can't handle some at all. Unfortunately, mybloggers is one of them when it comes to posting. The longer the post is and/or the more graphics used, the more bogged down my computer gets...sometimes freezing altogether and I, therefore, lose everything I was working on if unfinished and not actually posted/saved. With another computer, things would probably be fine.

Yes, I am posting here. Not as frequently as on the other site or you may be accustomed to, but yes, I have been doing some posting here. (I have a few notification problems with mybloggers so I have learned not to depend on them. When I come in to mybloggers, I just click on each friend's picture or name on my friend's list and visit each one's "page". That's how I know for sure if there are any new posts to read. I'll read all the new ones for each person until I've gone through the entire list of friends.)

Oh, Martin, I just want to add that I still read your posts over at the other place...the only reason I don't comment on them over there is because you've said not to...which might be why some others don't, either.

Anyway, I can read your posts here as easily as I can read them over there...I just might fall behind on them a little. I read your blogs as they are posted even though it may appear that I don't because of my tardy comments here. (I just hold my comments until I get a chance to come here and then I just add them all at the same time.) I have been able to come to mybloggers more often than before, though, so I should be able to catch your posts here if you stop them at the other place.

You may have noticed that I have been adding some posts here, too... usually the ones without too many pics/graphics, so you can see that I am trying my best to be a part of the mybloggers family. I do still have to post at the other site, so I need to stay part of that family, too. But, it's ok because I like the friends I have in both places.

I'm with you on the cutting out the sweets. Although I have been eating rather healthy food and certainly not over eating, I have been indulging in some pretty tasty sweet things lately. You know, there were a lot of birthdays, and a couple of graduations, Mother's Day, an anniversary get-together...all too close together and all offering yummies. Well, I have another graduation, another baby shower, and Father's Day to enjoy indulgences, so I'm laying off the sweets on all other days except for those.

Do you know someone who is gay and voting Republican? Personally, I've been Republican in the past and never again, but I'm not a Democrat either. I'm a Republicrat -- i.e. Independent -- forever and ever and everMartin, you're going to have to start walking with me!

I would love to hane neighbors like yours! I would probably be huge though. You have way more control than I do.
I am glad you got the medical records sorted it out. It is so frustrating that you have to be the one to do that!

I tried to phone you several times yesterday but now understand why you were busy all the time. By unsubscribing at blogster you will receive such a less number of notifications as well! Good decision Martin. Its not necessary to keep subscribed to those who also post here.

glad you got it straightened out.If you are going to have surgery, that 11 pounds will come off in the hospital I bet...
