    • About Me

      I'm fortunate to be able to work from home and set my own hours. I work for a large ER coding and billing company. My husband and I are 'newlyweds' of only 4 years. We recently built a new home (as owner-builder) and currently my husband is "Mr Mom" while I work. We are raising my 3 yr. old granddaughter. This wasn't exactly what we had planned, but she brings us a lot of joy.

    • Interests

      My hubby and I enjoy Square Dancing--when we can get out. I like gardening, sewing, quiliting, scrapbooking, ceramics, and other crafts. I thought I'd be spending the next 10 or 15 yrs advancing my carreer, taking painting & music classes, serving in leadership roles as a volunteer in our church and club activities, joining a choir, and doing a little travelling. My focus has changed a lot.

      I walked about 3/4 mile today on the bike path thru the park with my family.  It was a beautiful fall day.

    • Thumbs Up

      From ResilientWoman October 28

      Walking outdoors is being found to be vastly superior than many other fitness activities. The coordination between the eyes and brain does incredible things for the entire body. Congrats on doing something wonderful for yourself and your family. Keep up the good work.

    • Ray of Sunshine

      From rocknorth October 26

      Hope you have sunshine today. We haven't in over a week. Had 3 in of snow Fri night. I am trying not to match the weather.It's been a challeng getting the kids in a schedule work and get the house settled, harder dealing with my daughter who doesn't seem to care to interact with the kids. She spends a 20min visit that just upsets the 6 year old. She has her disposition hearing Thurs and they plan on giving her a schedule to visit. A huge part of me prays she will pull her life together and raise her children, another huge part is afraid she never will.

    • Close Obesity

      All I do is eat and sit in front of the computer (for work and for fun). My nights and days are turned around, I have no energy, I've stopped doing things I enjoy most. I hate it that I've neglected my health and my appearance, but I can't seem to stop eating. Once I lost 95 pounds (about 10 yrs ago) but I gained it all back and then some.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Helped the pounds come off faster--especially using weights--but took so much time to go to gym, work out, shower, drive home, etc. The hardest part is getting started--and for me, finding excercises that I can do with multiple joint problems that don't cause me too much pain. The hardest part: getting started.
      Weight Watchers Working / Worked
      I've stopped and started WW at least 4 times. It works fine but it gets tiring counting points all the time. Always felt deprived of my favorite things--even though they say you aren't supposed to. The meetings are long and I never seemed to get much out of them--all repeat information. I just couldn't stay with it. Always felt left out at social events because everyone else is eating and drinking all they want. It seems insulting to the host to not eat their food.
    • Open Impotence & Erectile Dysfunction

      my husband has ED and it's really tough on the relationship

      Treatments

      Cialis Not Working
      Tried for 1 month. Worked somewhat the first 2 times we tried it, but after that it didn't work.
      Viagra Not Working
      Worked for about 1 year, then husband had bad reaction--turned red all over, got dizzy, felt sick, etc. Doctor said he was over-sensitive to the med and this was a rare but very serious side effect and to stop taking it immediately.
