Everything seems to be going well for most everyone here, it's very good to hear. I've really enjoyed reading all the updates that folks have been posting. I still can't believe that it's been so long since we all started out here. lol

Congrats on the twins, Melina! I always thought it would be neat to have twins.
And also congrats Carla! Like TAE said, tell us about it I just had an interview today for a full time job at the university. If I get it, I'll receive half off tuition. /crosses fingers ![]() |

Seri... Good luck with the job!!! =)
Well, I don't know if I ever mentioned it but for about two years my health really sucked. I had horrible headaches 25+ days out of the month for starters. I was getting nauseous every time I ate so I just plain quit eating because the only time my stomach didn't feel sick was when it was empty. I lost 17 pounds. I also had ridiculously bad heartburn almost every day which kept me up all night long for at least four nights per week. I was a wreck. Over those two years I visited approximately six medical doctors including specialists down at the University of Minnesota -- all of which told me I was fine. Blood work was all perfect and nothing could be found. Unfortunately, I was still feeling very sick and they didn't know what to do to help me. At this point I was planning my funeral because I was sure I was dying... I felt that icky all the time. My last resort was to see a Maximized Living Chiropractor. (Key words there being "Maximized Living". They are much better than your average Chiropractor and in Minnesota you actually have to be a doctor to be a chiropractor.) He took x-rays and did a computerized spine test and we found that my spine was way out of alignment. He rattled off symptom after symptom that I would most likely be suffering from due to where my back and neck were messed up and they were all identical to what I was experiencing. Anyway, to make an already too long story shorter, after only one week of adjustments my headaches were non-existent. After about three weeks I started to be able to eat and not feel sick. I put back on some of the weight I lost and I'm right where I should be now. I'm feeling almost 100% and I've been going to see him for just under five months. Now for the details about the job. My Chiropractor offered me a job as a Chiropractic Assistant. The money is good, the hours are good, I get free Chiropractic care for my entire family, a free gym membership and bonuses every month. I absolutely LOVE the job and look forward to going every day. What more could I ask for? =) |

Back from summer hiatus! | ||

I think it's most appropriate that I'm one of the last ones to come and post here.. since I pretty much have been one of the LAST ones that have
been here when noone else was. lol Kind of like talking to the walls, and my own little hang out. hehehe.. but anyway, I did get the e-mail and I was like,
huh? I don't know how to log into that yuku! (I have to re-set the password every time) I also got busy, and kind of forgot about it. But now I'm sorry
I did, after reading how everyone is doing. It's good to see everyone alright.. as I have wondered about everyone. You never know when one of us is going
to be writing out our "bucket list" and no longer here. Hopefully that's not the case, of course.

Hey Janice!! Good to see you around again. I know you were one of the lone rangers here for a while when it was REALLY quiet. Congrats on loosing weight,
enjoying some fruits of selling the family business, and getting to do some travelling!
Wow Carla, you have been through hell girl! To think that a chiropractor held the answer to making you better too. They always get crap in the medical field for being overpayed back crackers, but this just goes to show they provide a real service!

Hi everyone.
I had a busy weekend, I'm doing o-k though. How is everyone doing today?

Glad to hear things are going good for you, Janice. You need to share some of your partying-with-Rob-Thomas pictures. Were you as excited as I was when
Matchbox 20 got back together?!
TAE... Yeah, who would have thought!? They do get a bad rap but I think there are a lot of crappy chiropractors out there that ruin it for the good ones that really know their stuff. The lives I see changing for the better in that office is amazing. There are so many people that have wonderful recovery stories similar to mine -- and to watch them go from miserable to having their life back makes me love the job even more. |

Yeah, I should post some of those pictures sometime. I'm happy you like your job. I went to Physical Therapy for awhile for my back and ankle sprain, and
it helped a lot. That's where I met my new little friends..hehehe.
Congrats Mel on the babies. That's really exciting. |

Ha .. I was trying to find another old board off of ezboard when I thought I'd pop in here. Didn't know ez bit the dust, either, so never got the email
notice. Haven't frequented much of any of the old boards I used to. Don't seem to have the time anymore.
Still in Texas for the time being, my girls are in the 10th grade so have 3 more years to go. Met a gal on myspace almost 2 years ago, and went and met her
in person last January. In Russia. Grats to everyone on all the great things going on in their lives. Nice to read about ya'll and see the pretty girls once again. |

I was watching the fire works at Celebration Of The Grand(located in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan which is where I currently live). It was fun while it
lasted.

MELINA OMG..congratulations hon!!! I sent you some msns but did they not go through? hehe
Carla I never knew you had such health problems *big hugs* To everyone about Glen...yes it sucks BIG TIME. We still haven't heard anything back about his next interview and it's been 9 months. I know they are backed up, but Eric is really suffering without him here. He broke down into a crying fit yesterday..sigh. Anyway..school is going great. I'm having a hard time sometimes with motivation, but I'm working through it hehe. Also, I'm playing a game called Perfect World right now that is beautiful. It started out as a Chinese game (I might be wrong, it could have been Japanese). It's kind of a cross between Lineage II and WoW. I don't play 24/7 because of school and kids but I've had a lot of fun in the time I have played. I'll make a new post about it later if anyone is interested. Gotta run to school! *hugs all around* Miss everyone |

Glad to see everyone is doing well. Thanks for the invite back Carla. I have been doing film as well. I now have 3 under My belt with more in the works. You can check them out at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2839192/ which is My IMDB page. I hope to have a new agent soon and be reading for bigger roles in major productions. Figured I would give you some pics to show some changes and happy times.
