Guest guest Posted March 21, 2000 Report Share Posted March 21, 2000 Wow! Jill, What an amazing story. I am so glad that you are ok. I am so happy to hear that others are starting to notice your results. It is so great when you are rewarded with nice comments when you work to do something good for yourself. I am just tickled that your brother-in-law is doing Life Lift. You can tell him that for the first several years I was teaching at least 75% of my students were men. They found Life Lift to be so beneficial to reduce stress and also to shrink that tummy and spare tire area men often get I am just so proud of you. You are going to have great results. You'll be one of my shining stars. Take care, Rashelle You are welcome to visit us at http://www.angelmagic.com or http://www.lifelift.com These are Rashelle's personal web sites, any others belong to distributors.join our discussion group at LifeLift-subscribeonelist What a weekend! From: "Jill " <steveandjillharris@...> Have I ever missed you guys! There was a chemical fire at a fernerynear my house and we were evacuated for 24 hours! It made for a wildweekend. I am finally getting caught up, but I was unable to do anycomplete lifelift workouts. I can sure tell that I haven't. I sawquite a few people during this wild weekend- everyone of themmentioned that I looked like I have lost weight--they said they couldreally see it in my face. It is much more toned. My husband hassaid several times that I am definitely losing- he sees more of methan just my face! :} My brother-in-law, who has always had a problemwith his weight, is doing lifelift now. I explained it to him andhe's going to borrow my tape one day. That is a telling sign of howmuch better I must look. He is very macho! He doesn't want me tomention to anyone around town that he is doing Lifelift. Anyway, allof the posts about the skincare products sure have me excited! Minehaven't arrived yet, but I'm sure that they will be here tomorrow!After reading through all of the posts, I can't wait to get back onthe wagon!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Pound away on the keyboard! I would be so frustrated too. We had my mother living with us for 5 years and it just got worse and worse until we had to move her out. The stress relief was ENORMOUS once we got her out. Not something I would care to relive at all. Becky [ ] What a weekend! I don't usually use my computer on the weekend because my husband is home and I like to be with him. So this weekend was just like any other in that aspect. I got up Saturday and after working all day Friday in my garden - getting some pansies and canas and gladiolas, etc planted was going to just relax with Jay. Well, he got up early and decided to trim the trees in our yard...no biggie... then he decided that the leaves out front that I had piled up needed to be bagged. We bagged 2 together and I ws tired so decided to go in the house and rest for a few. I had been doing laundry and needed to change out a load from the washer to the dryer and start a new load... could fold the clothes while sitting. Jay and I were talking and my niece got up - about 12:30 - lunch time... anyway Jay went back out and as he was leaving I asked if he wanted to finish with the leaves out front - he said he was going to see about trimming the trees out back - I said no problem maybe can help me. Well........... couldn't help me as she had no clean clothes - she needed to do wash............so I said - no biggie - I'll take these clothes out of the dryer and take them outside and put them on the clothesline and the ones in the washer that were waiting I would put in the dryer - that way she could wash clothes... I asked her if Rodger had explained to her that my washer was old and that although it has a button for extra large loads that it really didn't do well with them... she said yes... I put my clothes out on the line and put the ones in the washer in the dryer to await the washer finishing with her clothes - then I was going to take mine out to the line as the ones out there would dry quickly with the wind. This is what we did...my clothes on the line dried quickly and I folded them and put them away and put the others from the dryer out on the line - so she could have the washer and dryer... Now she couldn't go outside to help me bag leaves as she had no clean clothes - why you need clean clothes to do this you ask? I don't know... Well, I was a little mad so decided since I didn't have help outside that I would start on the inside...the kitchen needed sprucing up and I did this - while she lounged on the couch like a couch potato never offering to help. Jay came in and asked me what I was doing and told him - couldn't do leaves by myself and since there was work in the house that needed doing I was doing it... I then vacuumed the livingroom...cleaned the bathroom. Her Father comes home(Rodger)...she talks to him about taking her to the mall for some shopping. He goes outside and helps Jay with some trimming of trees. He comes back in and she is now dressed but no socks yet - they are still drying in the dryer...He says not ready - she says nope - no socks yet - still in dryer - he says well I'm not wearing any so get your shoes on and we will go. She leaves room to go get shoes and I ask Rodger " Could you please wait until this load is done in the dryer, said they were almost done. Then you can put the clothes in the washer into the dryer and I can have my washer back. I had stopped doing my laundry so could do yours and I still have 2 maybe 3 loads to do. I don't need the dryer as I'll put my clothes out on the line. " He says " fine " I think all is okay and go back to the kitchen to finish it up. Our plumbing isn't the greatest and until we can get it fixed I taka the dirty dish water out and dump it in the side yard. I see Rodger coming through the house towards the door with 2 of my black garbage bags and taking them out to his truck. Then he comes in to get ...now they are just in front of me as I am coming through the dining area with this dishpan of water...do they hold the door for me - NOPE - it is shut in my face. I set the dishpan down and open the door - they are just going through the garage door - do they hold it for me - NOPE - they shut it in my face too. I shut the kitchen door behind me so the cats don't get out - spill water over the garage floor - open the garage door and go out - I am coming back in the door as he floors the truck and goes down the road. I am FURIOUS!!! Jay comes in back door and I yell at him that I am sick of his .............. brother...He goes what is wrong - so I tell him what transpired. His brother pulls back in driveway - they had forgotten something - he sends in to get it. Jay goes out to talk with Rodger about what is going on. He tells Jay that I told him to get his stuff out of MY WASHER AND DRYER... Jay tells me this after Rodger and have left. We - Jay and I - have a long talk. I ask him why would I tell her that she can do her laundry if I am going to tell them to get it out of my machines. That all I asked that they wait till the load in the dryer was done so that they could put their other load in the dryer. I don't need their extra work to do - i am claning up their mess as it is each day. They can do their own laundry. Jay understands and knows that I am frustrated because everything comes tumbling out. He says he will talk with Rodger. Well they come back and only comes in - Rodger has a date. He comes home later but is 3 sheets to the wind - not conducive to talking to. Sunday before Jay gets up - Rodger is gone - He calls from the bar and wants Jay to come down there but Jay - thank goodness - says no. No point in talking to him Sunday. Now this will go on and fester in me - Jay says he wants to talk to Rodger but Jay is never awake when Rodger gets home from work so this will go for a week and then Jay will probably forget. I am so upset though. It feels to me like Rodger is trying to put a wedge in between Jay and I. Jay says don't worry - I will always come first but in the meantime - I still have this problem. Maybe by venting on here it will help me get this out of my system but I doubt it. I made some pointed remarks Sunday to my niece about a speach I had just read taht Sherri L. Dew had given at BYU about Integrity and that the cornerstone to integrity was honesty and truthfullness. I wonder if it will sink in. I have always prided myself on my honesty and my husband knows this and for his brother to say those things just has unwraveled me. I guess my niece saying she couldn't help me because she didn't have clean clothes didn't help either. I am going to go pray about this and hope that I can come to some terms with in myself. My stomach is all upset again today and my IBS is in high gear today. STRESS - what it will do to a person. God bless and thank you for listening to my rantings and ravings...although via keyboard.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Dear Althea: I am sorry that you to had to deal with such aggravation that has occurred. I pray for things to get better for you. Just try not to take things too seriously. Families always have little tiffs. However, be thankful for them. It is terrible without them. I know that. I have lost a lot of my family and miss them very much. Take care and God Bless. Sincerely, Colletti Anjillah@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
