lainiefig, here's the first verse of that song - 5 foot 2, eyes of blue, but oh what those 5 feet could do! Has anybody seen my gal? As sung by my 4' 9'' grandmother (my grandfather was 6' 3'').

RE: 50 and Over Happy Thursday, All, You ladies don't know how much your good wishes mean to me. I'm afraid this may turn into a long road, and I don't like some of the endings I'm envisioning. Deb, I haven't contacted a lawyer yet because I've always thought like you - there are so many...

Happy Wednesday, All, It's been quite a week! I didn't mention this before - I think I was in shock when I posted -but there was more to the elevator accident than just the bare facts I posted. When I was trapped in the elevator, I was scared to death the whole time that it would fall...

RE: What Wow, tneah, I thought I was the queen of strange with my love of mustard, bacon, and peanut butter sandwiches, but tuna and Equal? I do believe I will have to give up my crown!

I third the videofitness recommendation. I've visited others, but VF is the one I always come back to.

Anything by Bill Bryson - he's a comedy/travel writer. The fact that the things he writes about are true makes them just that much funnier to me. He's the only author who consistently makes me laugh so hard that I have to wipe away tears.

RE: 50 and Over: ~~ Many thanks for all the good wishes, Ladies! Deb, it's Chronicle policy to send people who are injured on the job to the doctor in cabs. They gave me 2 cab vouchers (one to use each way) with a lousy $2 tip written onto each one. I felt bad for the poor cabdrivers and...

Boy, am I glad to be able to post this! I got to work this morning, headed down to the tunnel for my usual coffee, got on the elevator, the doors closed, and the elevator fell 2 floors, accompanied by a loud crash and boom.I fell, passed out for a minute, then tried to get out. None of the...

Happy Monday, All, It's nice and quiet here at work, except for a steady stream of people in the Sports department who can't get into their offices because they're locked out and need to call security. I think they need to give out a few more keys. Sounds like everyone is having a fun...

Happy Sunday,All, Deb, it may have been my vet who recommended the boric acid. We have dogs and cats and haven't had a problem. Boric acid doesn't work as quickly as spraying insecticide, though, because it's gentle. It's even used sometimes for diaper rash for babies. Last night I did the...

Happy Saturday, All, Deb, I don't think boric acid will attract fleas (they're after your blood), but it will kill them if they come in contact with it. If you have carpet in your bedroom, you'll also want to sprinkle the powder all over the carpet, wait a while, then vacuum it up. Boric...

My all-time favorite is Little Women - at least it's the one that started me on a life-long love affair with reading. I'm currently reading Blowing Smoke, by Barbara Block, a murder mystery, and Sinus Relief Now, by Jordan S. Josephson, M.D.

Happy Friday, All, Today is my one day off. I work Sat., Sun., and Mon. It just fell that way - it's my turn to work the weekend and my turn to work the holiday. However, after working Sat-Wed, I get 4 days off, the weekend plus a day for working this coming Sunday and a comp day for working...

Also working - all 3 stinking days. The rotation worked out so that it's my weekend to work and my holiday to work. But if I can make it through, I'll get a 4-day weekend the next weekend - the 2-day regular weekend, a day off for working Sunday, and a comp day for Labor Day.

Seconding Unjury. It's the only protein powder I can stand, and I think I have tried them all. Also, the husband-wife team who run this company are super nice.

Happy Thursday, All, I didn't get a chance to post yesterday - I hate it when I have to work all day at work! I had a splitting headache when I got home, so didn't exercise. I may not today, either, as I am giving blood and platelets at work - that always makes me feel crummy for the rest of...

Happy Tuesday, All, Oh, Deb, I would have freaked out when I saw the bat! DH tells me to get over it because they eat so many mosquitoes, but we had a young man in the Houston area who died last year when he was bitten by a rabid bat. He was about to graduate high school. A few weeks before...

Happy Monday, All, Rhonda, good luck and best wishes for a wonderful school year! Deb, that sounds like a really good eating plan for today. Please let us know if you were hungry at any time throughout the day. garance, I have to give Cathe the edge on Kickboxing. Powerstrike is...
