MANY CONGRATS, BONNIE.....So glad to hear you're great!!! What a great feeling, huh? Tyce is doing fine, too.....has to go go cardio friday for a bp monitor....up a bit and they're trying to get it down. coreg and zestril haven't brought it down enough, so they added hctz, a mild diuretic. just checked it and it was 131/90 which is pretty good for him.

Stay Well!!!

Evelyn

Hi Gesele, Girlfriend

Hi Gesele, Girlfriend

It was all that snow skiing 2 weeks ago..barefooted that did it.. We are expecting more snow tomorrow night at Sky Valley in North Georgia...Might try snowboarding this weekend. Bonnie

 

[Gisele]

We're getting snow on Friday!

We're getting snow on Friday!

Skiing at Pat's Peak in NH this Friday--expecting snow too! Skiing was wonderful this weekend until I fell at the base of the mountain. Actually, it was really stupid of me. I was going just a wee bit too fast and instead of stopping so as not to plow into two skiiers heading towards the lift line, I swerved or rather attempted to swerve around them and ended up in some pretzel like formation. I couldn't figure how to undo my position-some kind teenage boy took pity on me and helped me remove both skis and I hobbled into the restaurant aka bar with two twisted knees. Fortunately, I was fine with just a little soreness by the end of the night. Poor hubby was sick all weekend.

So, ya gonna try to snowboard huh?? Can you have your hubby grab the camera--I wanna see this one. Actually, can you attach a video type file on this board? -a video would be much better. Maybe Ross can help! LOL

PS: haven't been ignoring everyone this past week-just very busy with all my accounts. Actually next two weeks will be insane until I leave for vacation-and then I pay the price for being away when I return home to a ton of work. I'll keep on poking my head in when I get a sec.

Snowboarding

Snowboarding

The secret to snowboarding is to keep your right foot in the back and don't head for the lift I'm not speaking to Ross right now. He dumped me. Bonnie

 

[Ross]

Now what exactly is it that your whining about?

Now will you go in my place to my July check up?

 

[Granbonny]

Thank you Ross

Thank you Ross

I got up early to see if it was there.....We can be best friends again. I may even have a sex change so I can go in your place in July Bonnie..AKA Ross's Therapist

 

[Ross]

No sex change is needed, just a better functioning cardiovascular system. Maybe it's because you have a bear for a friend at home? Maybe send me the bear?

 

[Gisele]

Ross dumped you for another??

Ross dumped you for another??

OOOhhhh, for who??? Of course you could get into his good graces by going to his check up. His physician might wonder about his new appearance though.

Bonnie-you don't need the sex change-tell the doc that Ross got the sex change and that the name is now Bonnie.

Oh, by the way, another trick to snowboarding is keeping your as* off the ground! Oh, and careful not to plow into those skiiers-one of them could be on coumadin-LOL

 

[mamsram]

hi ya"ll,

Bonnie, good to hear your doing so well. question-- what makes you visit the rest room more, the hc?? or beer? Please, no sex change--"I love you just the way you are"(don't go changing)

Gisele, I owe you a ski story-- well, on my 2nd time on skis, ist time just on kiddie slopes, I looked at the map of Cranmore, and saw that there was a beginners run on the backside of the mountain. Wow, that would be beautiful scenery and a long run.
Up the lift I go, way up. I get to the top and there is the beginners slope all taped off with yellow caution tape. there is a sign--CLOSED--ICY CONDITIONS-- gee, I not going to get help, no way, so I decided to go down the intermediate slope. there were two--SKIMEISTER and RATTLESNAKE--no, not going to choose rattlesnake, so down I go-- no fun--a battle, fighting it all the way, digging in aggressivly. at the halfway mark I stopped--big mistake--now I had to dig up the courage to start again. well, I made it all the way, I was proud and angry. I went to the lift guy and told him the story, he called on the phone and said "you're right, it is closed, sorry, we screwed up!
How do you like that?

Actually it reminded me of the time my daughter in law came to the states from Australia for the first time. She wanted to try skiing (growing up in the tropics), and we brought her for her first time to a small local mountain. She did well and for her second time we brought her to Waterville Valley. We went to the top of the mountain, she took one look down and before my son and I even had a chance to realize what happened she had gone back to the lift, told the guy sitting in the booth that he had better get her back on that lift, that she was NOT skiing down! She then went to the beginners slope and now you should see her go!

I am proud of you Ram. Ya done well! I saw three different guys walking down the lower slope last Saturday with their skis in their hands. At least you made it down on skis!

Have you been since?
