#30779 of 31395 happy holidays by ladywclass Dec 25, 2008 (6:29 pm)
we went to the husband's family for Christmas dinner ... his mother cooked a huge dinner .. not bad considering she "died" last January and recovered since then ... (her aorta burst before they got her on heart-lung machine, but she's had an amazing recovery) ... nice day ... his sister and her family drove in from Texas (through some of the ice storms...) we're home ...went in the subie - of course - although the ice was in our street and in his mother's driveway ... in between was fine .. lol

G'day Hope you all survived Christmas and storms. Just listening to the latest forecast for the US and Canada and it sounds cold. Of course, you are all welcome to come over and leap in our pool. Currently sitting on about 30C (about 86F) air temperature and kids are complaining that the pool is not warm enough! I asked Judy if she would go back to England to avoid the heat - she thought one moment and concluded the ice and snow were not worth it when you have kids to shepherd to school. She does not drive and used to slip and skid down the pavements - yuk! Thinking of you all at Christmas Cheers Graham Replies to this message: rsholland (Dec 26, 2008 5:10 am) css1 (Dec 26, 2008 7:30 am) p0926 (Dec 26, 2008 11:51 am) grahampeters (Dec 27, 2008 2:14 am)

Replying to: rsholland (Dec 26, 2008 5:10 am) Hi everybody. Happy holidays to all. I've been very busy steering through this awkward economy to keep my business alive. No great accomplishments but I'm still here. Haven't caught up on the earlier posts yet but I wanted to take this time to wish everybody a happy and a healthy new year. Charlie

Replying to: grahampeters (Dec 25, 2008 10:13 pm) So Graham, what is your pool's temperature? Ours needs to be at least 27C (80F) before I think it's comfortable for lounging around in -Frank Replies to this message: grahampeters (Dec 27, 2008 2:14 am)

Replying to: p0926 (Dec 26, 2008 11:51 am) G'day The pool is sitting between 25C and 30C. I think the kids would have been in today but we have been to a family Christmas celebration at my mother's place. She is 81 and still on seven acres of fairly high maintenance property, by herself. Fortunately, one very handy nephew is on university vacation so will do a variety of tasks for her. The trip down and back was fairly wearing. Although only 70 miles on pretty good freeways, there seem to be more than the average number of nutters on the road. One charmer careved me up badly leaving less than six inches clearance after avoidance and then repeated the same move several times. Short life expectancy, I would guess. Cheers Graham

Replying to: p0926 (Dec 24, 2008 4:53 pm) Loved the reindeer antlers. My brother just sent me pics of him and his kids playing in the pool - Brazil is just starting their summer season now. Of course it's never cold in the tropics, it just goes from "hot" to "hotter". Happy Holidays from chilly, damp DC.

OK, Lucien was the first to report in, here: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef0a957/13693 I believe I deserve the blame for the horrible idea of weighin in on January 1, but I'm at 211 today, which is 6 pounds less than I started. 6/217 = 2.8% weight loss. I bottomed out at 206 IIRC, but the cold combined with holiday feasting brought me half way back. At least my cholesterol was down, also. How about everyone else? Here were the starting weights, from my last post (add yours if I missed you): Weigh-in: AJ started at 217, Bob at 200, volkov at 186, xwesx at 192, lucien at 178, Mark at 198, Serge at 161. Frank at 204 lbs. paisan at 300#. pf_flyer at 247#. Brenda 165.9#. hypov 142 lbs playing in reverse! bigelm at 188 lbs. Charlie at 256 lbs. Get on those scales, folks. Let's say you have to report back by the end of the day on Monday, past the holidays, so we can announce a winner on January 6. Is that enough time?

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 01, 2009 8:44 am) I'm at 201, this morning... Maybe that 12oz. ribeye last night, with multiple margaritas was a bad idea? Started at 218, so 17/218 = 7.8% loss..
