Re: used Tickets.com for the first time
That sounds like what my brother in law tried to use to get All Star game tickets. He was in the virtual waiting room, waiting line, etc but he got bumped out of the room and couldn't get back in.

It's hard.....it's hard to admit that food is pretty much my drug of choice. That's my Mom's quote. When things got crazy she would get the bread and butter. It goes to my previous post just weigh it out in your mind is it worth it and sometimes it sure is. Keep up the great work, we all feel the s...

Re: HEALTHY LIVING
The biggest part of getting back "on track" is just coming to terms with the fact that you got off track. Sometimes it's easy to just say, "I've blown it this bad, what difference does it make." OR even worse...."I really blew it and I only gained five pounds.....wow....I c...

Re: HEALTHY LIVING
Hey Johnson, It's all good. I started with a personal trainer 3 weeks ago. I'm 51, she's 54 and built like a teenager. She's busting my tail two times a week. I journal my intake and exercise to her. Counting calories is good for me. I have a trip to visit a butt load of music friends the last week...

Re: HEALTHY LIVING
At the KC concert last year, my camera card fouled up on me. Sent it off to various places hoping to save the pictures, no luck. I found a couple that I didn't lose.
4 years and 2 days between the pics.
