Thank you, AutumnBeauty and Lynne for your welcome. Glad you like my avatar, AutumnBeauty. I think it represents me pretty well. I like colorful, lively images, which, I guess, reflect my being optimistic and active.

It's very pretty, Holiday. I would love to have a lamp like that! Well, I'm just milling about the house today. I would love to go lay down and take a little nap, but I've got to go pick up my girl at 3:00, so I better not risk laying down. Tomorrow is Bible study and that means I'll be getting into the shower early. :::yawn::: :)

Janis, May I ask; Is your Bible study with your church or another such as Bible Study Fellowship? It just came to mind when you said you'd be getting up early. When I went to BSF, it was early on Wednesday mornings.

Yes, Lynne, it is Bible Study Fellowship! I absolutely love it! We're studying Moses right now and it's been wonderful. Do you plan on going back to BSF in the future?

Somehow I knew. I finished the 7 years of BSF a few years ago. I drove 45 miles every week to get there. I loved it.
I would go back and repeat it in a minute if I lived closer. I might still. It is in the city where I work but I would drive in the extra day for BSF. I miss it so maybe next year....

*waving hi to everybody* I was OP yesterday. Sadly, I still have the crud. I will check back in when I am feeling more human.

Good Morning everyone! Janis, glad you two had such a great time. I do hope Hayley continues with it. I'm sure it's good for her. :) We have a BSF that meets in the evening, which I've been invited to, but I am worth nuttin in the evening. Brenda, I hope you feel better! (((hugs))) Good job staying OP even though you're feelin' lousy. Lynne, what kind of work do you do? Any feedback on why we can't use smilies here, or get the quote function to work? Could it have been disabled just for this thread? Holiday, Hi! So you're in Cal. with Janis? Are you two buddies IRL? Steph, where are you and what you been up to? You're kinda quiet lately. :( I didn't count calories yesterday but I did watch portion sizes carefully. Haven't weighed yet today, but hoping the news is good. If it isn't, and you hear a scream, you'll know it's me. :D I am going through that pre-tom fitfull sleeping time. I woke up at 2:45am and couldn't get back to sleep until 5:45, but then slept until 8:40! I couldn't believe it. I got a total of 7 hours though, so I'm feeling human at least. :D Yesterday I had to get out early after only 8 hours of sleep for the previous TWO days, so I was hurtin'! What is everybody gonna do today?

Good Morning ladies! :) Lynne, that is so neat! This is my 6th year of BSF and I've already decided to continue on with it because when I first started, it was Israel & the Minor Prophets and I was totally lost through most of it. It seemed so hard and nearly scared me off, but I hung in there and I'm glad I did. It'll be interesting to see if I "get it" any better 7 years later. :D Brenda, I'm so sorry that you're still sick! I hope you're feeling better soon! (((hugs))) Laura, good job of staying on track. I consider myself doing well if I watch my portions, so good going! You really should try to go to BSF. You can use most of your thinking during the day when you work on your lesson. ;) Hi Stephanie! How are you doing? Well, I've got computer troubles, so I'm going to go try to fix them. Wish me luck!!! :D I'll pop in after work. Have a good day ladies.

[/quote] I don't know what BSF stands for, but I have a friend who's been telling me she is going to this awesome Bible study and they are studying Moses right now! She has invited me to join, but I feel kind of busy to add things to do on my list during the week, especially during the evenings (she's going in the evening), since that is the only little time I get to spend with my family. PS How do I make the quote show right?

[quote=LKBF]Good Morning everyone! Holiday, Hi! So you're in Cal. with Janis? Are you two buddies IRL? [/quote] Hi there! :) Yup, I'm in Cal, but don't know Janis and I have no clue what IRL means. (English is not my mother tongue, I'm new in the States, so you have to be a little be more explicit for me to understand things) Have a great day!
