Nancy324 - what you said. Thank you for letting me not type any of those ''R'' words - and the ''M'' word isn't much better. I literally can not be in a building if I know one of those is around. This from a person who has not the slightest fear of snakes or spiders - oh, well, I guess...

Happy Tuesday, All, Yesterday was the day from hell at work. It was day 1 of 2 layoff days. We started hearing about people on other floors who got the boot, then they got to our floor. I'm still on half-days, and they got to the business department (right next door to me) just before I left...

I do lunges onto the step instead of flat on the floor. That's the only way I feel anything in my glutes. It also takes some of the load off the knee.

Happy Thursday, All, Deb, I am in pain in the mid-back almost all the time, but I think this is just going to take time. The neck is much better and the lower back is about 50 percent better. I really think moving around more and being able to do exercise DVDs may help the situation. If...

Happy Tuesday, All, Garance, about that sign - Things that make you go Hmmm,indeed! Sounds to me like sign-maker is not safe to think! Nancy, my injury occurred Sept. 4, when I stepped into an elevator at work and it fell 2 floors in about a millisecond. I have a pretty severe whiplash...

Happy Sunday, All, Welcome, Nancy. Please post as often as you wish. I've been only walking and going to physical therapy for over a month due to an injury, so you definitely don't have to do Cathe for 2 hours a day to fit in here! Yesterday I worked (they have me keeping to my weekend...

Happy Wednesday, All, I've hardly had time to catch my breath, so sorry, guys. I swear I'm much busier working half-days and going to PT than working full days. Another 2 weeks of PT exercises and walking, then I hope to be back doing Cathe and other DVDs right along with you all...

Happy Sunday, All, Deb, I'm so glad you enjoyed your anniversary dinner. Linny, many thanks for the well-wishes. garance, or Lynda (which do you prefer?), I say my work is specialized because my career has been in journalism for the past 23 years. Jobs in that field are practically...

Happy Saturday, All, So sorry to be away so much, guys. It's been so wild and crazy since I started back on half-days at work that I think I'm looking forward to full days! Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are bad because I have to get across town to the Medical Center (where everything is...

I would have wanted to turn the soap around, but wouldn't have done it because my fear-of-strange-cooties obsession is slightly stronger than my turning-labels-the-right-way obsession! As for the migraine chart, that's just common sense - and I would have reminded him that HE asked for it...

What the? Wow, everyone should take this. I had dismissed my number 1 choice months ago.

RE: 50 and Over Happy Wednesday, All, I had my first physical therapy session. It was supposed to be 45 minutes but lasted 2 1/2 hours because the therapist kept finding places on my spine and neck that were messed up. I saw the doctor today - he didn't release me to work tomorrow. He asked...

Hello, my name is melrose and I'm addicted to books. It's been 3 days since I bought my last book, but it won't be long before I buy again. I have about 1,000 unread books in my house. I guess that's not good. I do give them away when I finish them, except for the truly wonderful ones. I...

Happy Thursday, All, Deb, that is such a rude thing for people to say to your DH! Some people can be so clueless. I'm crazy about my dentist, and, even if I dread going, I would never say that to her. Deb and garance: I love tuna also, but I haven't tried anything I don't like. I have to...

Happy Wednesday, All, Okay, you talked me into it, Ladies! You're so sweet. Some of my walking will be inside, to Leslie Sansone tapes, at least for a few days. It's still very hot and humid, but we're expecting an honest-to-goodness cool front Saturday. The temperatures will still get to 90...

The only things that matter to me are a brain and a sense of humor!

Happy Tuesday, All, Great news - the MRI results finally came back and I have no compression fractures. The doctor does want me to have physical therapy for the whiplash injury. His staff is supposed to get with me on that. Until I see him a week from tomorrow, I'm only cleared to walk. I'll...

55.

Happy Tuesday, All, Deb, thanks so much for thinking of me. I was supposed to have my MRI to check for compression fractures today, but because apparently fools abound in my doctor's office as well as at the workers' comp office, they tried to put me off ANOTHER week. It's already been 2...
