I tried to lose weight but it only put more stress on me so I gave up. I am what I am. At least for now.

I'll try again when things are bit calmer.

At least I now have all of the WW books and some of the other things. Like the points calculator.

I am trying--I don't drink any sodas and I cut my meals in half, walk when I can, etc., etc. But I don't step on the scale every morning and I don't beat myself up if I gain a pound.

First let me say that I did not take this photograph, nor was this taken from my balcony. It is taken on Stadium Way, which leads up the hill from downtown Tacoma to Stadium High School (the setting for the film 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU).

If you have ever wondered why I live in Tacoma, this is one of the reasons.

In the year that has passed since I joined HHW, I have lost about 60 pounds, and I am planning on losing another 40-60 this year. If you have any interest how I achieved this, I am happy to share my "secrets."

Richard and I worked at the booksale for 3 hours, grabbed a burger at Wendy's, stopped at the grocery, and are now watching Michael Clayton. I'm having a little trouble following it.

Happy that the box arrived DR MBARNUM......have fun! I hope you like the surprises.

DR SWW - actually Miss Annette is wearing a modest tennis skirt in that photo. She is on the telephone breaking a date with Mr Tim Considine to go play tennis with a boy who drives a Thunderbird.

DRbrian - the serial was called - "Annette" - and we are hoping for a DVD release after the second "Spin & Marty" set. Anything....anything BUT "Corky & White Shadow."

DR DANISE sounds like you found the food for your doggies!!! Congrats on your new telephone!

Hey, I am in DR CILLA LIZ's mother's scrapbook!!!

DR GINNY do you wind up the book sale by selling bags of books? I always loved that day!

You paid $5 for a grocery bag, and you could fill it with ALL the books you could carry!!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #222 on:** March 15, 2008, 06:30:36 PM »

Annette and Mary Wickes in the first episode of "Annette"

This serial had my favorite teaser.....a big disagreement between Annette and Roberta and the announcer saying breathlessly, "Don't miss the next episode: 'Almost a Hair Pulling Fight'!"

By golly you can bet the farm I was right in front of the TeeVee for that one!

Jrand - Toby and Dylan are awake, but they've become impossibly pushy when it comes to treats.

Oh wait, they were like that before the movie shoot, too.

DR RLP - rent, find, buy, or steal.....DESIRE....if you have any affection for Marlene or Gary, you will be pleased.

Does anyone know if Marlene's performance in the scene in question in WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION was dubbed?

My sister expressed her enthusiasm for genealogy by saying how much she likes the digging. Our mother said, "Just don't dig too deep." I figure she knows the secret and doesn't want us to find out OR she just suspects there's a secret and doesn't want to know herself.

So, what's the story?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #235 on:** March 15, 2008, 06:42:12 PM »

Well....................

Jrand73 · « **Reply #236 on:** March 15, 2008, 06:46:12 PM »

When she was 14 years old, my grandmother used to take the interurban train from Brooklyn, Indiana, into Mooresville to babysit for two little girls. Their mother had passed away.

One day, the father came home early and attacked her. She was too afraid to tell anyone what happened and even continued to babysit for the little girls.

A few weeks later, she met my grandfather, and a couple of months later, they became engaged. It was then that my grandmother had to tell him that she was going to have a baby....and she told him the whole story.

My grandfather walked into town with a baseball bat and dispatched the guy up side the head. The guy survived but soon moved away.

My aunt the child of the attack.....does NOT know the story....

And so there you are. Don't look if you don't want to find out. Sad tale of long ago with repercussions to many many folks.

DR Danise, I'm happy to hear your health is clearing up! I've spent the morning doing laundry, vaccuming, and scrubbing.

Almost the same way I spent the day, only Keith did the vacuuming & I dusted. Since his fever broke today, and seems to be staying down, I washed and changed the sheets AGAIN.
