Title: Quote of the day
Post by: Andrea on April 24, 2012, 11:07:13 PM
I'm going to start a new post and y'all can make nominations but the first award goes to. . .

Waterlilly for her comments about GG Brancrisp.

"What doesn't kill you makes you thinner."

This is a virtual award, bragging rights only but bravo for a wonderful attitude and a great witticism.

Lose it!  Mercy no!  You need it more than ever,  especially the first time you over-eat sugar free candy!

I know it took me a while to join in the back and forth on the forum but it sure is fun. 

I think the forum does an amazing job at providing an open door.  To all the newbies, with a few exceptions, we don't know each other outside this forum.  Come on in and join the fun.  It's anonymous and rewarding and reinforcing.

I enjoy the morning discussions, too.  I have a desk job and am at a computer all day long so my FTS forum breaks are the most fun part of my day.

I like both the What doesn't kill you quote...and the kids have enough friends! *HighFives* Are you going to have hardcopies of the cookbook and bakery book?? I would love to have them on the shelf!! :)
Title: Re: Quote of the day
Post by: umpa on June 20, 2012, 09:15:57 AM
My agent is shopping the Bakery to Publishers.The first cookbook is in the new revised edition of fat to skinny at Barnes and Nobles.I am sure at some point they will pick up the rest Suzanne.Have you read the Cherry Tree Andrea? You would love it!
My favorite quote is "You can't control the world but you can control the 8 feet around you" I have said that to my kids a million times! Takes away all their excuses ;)
The quote that I have heard most in my life is this one"Don't let your alligator mouth overload your canary a**" I mean I have big teeth but ,Really?? :D :D :D

Good morning, Umpa.  I should be cleaning before the house gets too hot but I'm foruming instead.  It's all about choices, right?
Title: Re: Quote of the day
Post by: mouseissue on July 01, 2012, 03:26:31 PM
That's a wonderful way of putting it, Theresa! :) :) :)

Time moves on regardless of what we say, think, or do.
So count your blessings and don't pay too much attention to scales and time! ;)
That is the secret to having a happy life! ;D ;D ;D

Post by: umpa on July 02, 2012, 08:58:33 AM
Yep Andrea! Its like eating chocolate cake for breakfast! I should be working too but I am foruming! I love being a grown up with no children at home! :D

I have some friends that will enter empty-nesthood this fall and they're worried.  I try to be sympathetic but I was cheering as they headed off to college.  I think hobbies make a big difference and I recommend that all the husbands take up vacuuming and dusting. 
Title: Re: Quote of the day
Post by: jen1975 on July 02, 2012, 10:51:28 AM
I think that is a fabulous idea Andrea!   :D :D :D

I have this quote hanging on my fridge at home:  "The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”

The really funny part to me, a coworker when I found it said it was...much too strong lol!

Are you able to stay out of the heat, Jen.  It's starting to make me grouchy!
Title: Re: Quote of the day
Post by: mouseissue on July 02, 2012, 11:45:48 AM
I've tried vacuuming and dusting... I prefer FISHING!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Quote of the day
Post by: Andrea on July 02, 2012, 12:08:27 PM
Of course!  I don't like to fish and I prefer it, too.
Title: Re: Quote of the day
Post by: jen1975 on July 02, 2012, 01:31:05 PM
Hey Andrea - Yeah, staying out of the heat.  Luckily I work in an office!  And the weekends we have been watching a lot of movies!!  But sadly, I have to say I'd rather vaccuum than FISH!!  It's that lack of patience thing lol... :D
Title: Re: Quote of the day
Post by: umpa on July 03, 2012, 09:59:56 AM
 ;D This is on my fridge

 FIVE RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE:
1). Money can't buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to feel bad in a Mercedes than on a bike.
2). Forgive your enemy, but remember the bastard's name.
3.) Help someone when they are in trouble, and they will remember you when they're in trouble again.
4.) Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.
5.) Alcohol does not solve any problems, but, then again, neither does milk
And Tony I agree with you,I am a fishing fool ;)

Hi Stephanie! :)

Dr. Seuss was a wise man.

He passed on September 24, 1991 in La Jolla, CA, two months after my dad passed.
My dad died in Van Nuys, CA (about 130 miles away).
