Assunto: Re:

amandalove: LOL, I can identify with that. I'm only 48, and the other days I tried to kinda race from the bedroom to the front to get a phone call, and DANGIT!, my feet were so stiff, that I couldn't do it.

Its my own fault tho, I just wont take the time to excersize... Let alone just walk a block or something.......

now, lets see, how can I get this on topic???? I know! anyone read any great motivational books lately?

Assunto: Re:

Eriisa:Now that was fast thinkin'!!LOL
It's much more fun to grab a good book than to walk or exercise. I have to get busy on that sort of thing myself tho..just know I gained over the holidays..only book I read was a cookbook!!

Hqrls, can you put a link up for this called 'Swan by Frances Mayes - Request List' ?

http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=57&ngi=494896

Now what we can do is edit that message with additonal names so we will know who it goes to next. We can also do the same thing with other books.

Sound good?
