Well, I am about half way thru my headache study, ending next Feb. They are still with me but not as severe as without the stimulation. I had the real thing from the beginning. My next appt to see the headache guys is in August where I think I will be getting the palm pilot back to keep track of my days. I have been without it since May.


I had the insane idea of getting Bill tickets to Earth Wind & Fire for his birthday. The concert is July 11 and his birthday is in Sept. Sooooo, he gets his gift early. I can't wait to go, oh yeah, thats the one stipulation I had, that I went with him, lol. Anyone remember them?


I have a favorate bean stew recipe that when I cook it, it takes two pots to do it in. I just got a 10 qt pot so I hope that is big enough. I fix all the beans, bell peppers, onions, broths and tomatoes and put it all in containers in the freezer. When we want to have some I get it out, add a little pasta and some meat and wah - bean stew that is so good. It's actually called bean chili I think.


I am still working 2 days a week for my bil and doing for Mom other days. The 3 day weekends are still for Bill and I. I have to keep my job so I will have money every once in a while for meets with you great ladies. I am planning on having a meet here in San Antonio in April, 2010. Save your pennies.


Anyone doing anything for the 4th? We are going out to breakfast with friends Sat and to our son's for our weigh inon Sunday and for breakfast, thats about it. Bill has a nice 4 day weekend off but I have to work that Thursday.


Oh, the weigh-in!!! My sis, her dd, our dd and Bill & I are in a contest to see how much weight we can loose from May 25 to Labor Day. So far I am ahead but it can change. Oh yeah, the incentive is that we each put in $100 for the winner. I would say $500 is a good incentive, wouldn't you?


I am so sorry to hear all the sad things that have been happening on this board and I keep everyone needing it in my prayers. The list gets longer but HIS hands can handle it. Be good to yourselves and smile. Love and

Free, you and DH will have an awesome time
at the EWF concert. They were just here last
month, while we were in MKE and it was a total
success.
I am glad the headache program is working for you;
how long more will it be?

Hugs,

HI Free


Yep Dgs will be here until the 5th of August. It is illegal to set them off here because of the very high fire danger. They can only do them at the cities that have the displays.


Hope you enjoy your day.


Love

Your bean stew sounds great. I love that sort of thing. I rarely cook anymore and when I do try to cook something, it usually doesn't turn out too well. But I do love to make big pots of soup. Sometimes I freeze some but usually I just live off it until it's gone. I am NOT a picky eater. :)


I hope you get that $500. That would be great. It's so hard, though. I have been trying for a long time now and have not made much progress. You're right about the money being a great incentive. Good luck with that.


It would be great if the headaches just got weaker and weaker. So nice for you after suffering so much with them for so many years.


Have a great 4th, Free.
