Carb Counters - Weekly Chat March 19-25/07View Full Version : Weekly Chat March 19-25/07 RobinW 03-19-2007, 11:35 AM Good Morning :coffee: Just getting us started........Im off to have my coffee :D lady_adnerb 03-19-2007, 11:44 AM Robin: Morning! Enjoy the coffee :) Late start for the DD's....so a late start for me. Day 1 of induction :) beach bum 03-19-2007, 01:45 PM Hi Ladies:) Wasn't feeling well this weekend, Had to much cabbage at my corned beef dinner.Got up late,and now everything is going to be on the back burner. Don't have to worry as I'm retired and can do what I want without having a boss to respond too. Nothing new, was going out to walk along the beach,but it was to cold and windy,so I have to reley on my trusty bike. Robin & Brenda-Hi:wave: thanks for starting us up this week. Going to have lunch Hugs :) BB L8again 03-19-2007, 02:00 PM Good morning all...hope ya'll don't mind that I jumped in. I'm starting (again) induction today. So far so good. I had 3 boiled eggs for breakfast, salad and tuna w/mayo and a pickle for lunch, probably bacon and eggs for supper, we'll see. I did Atkins about 3 years ago and lost a lot of weight and then lost my mind and quit, so of course it all came back and then I quit smoking and, oh my, all I wanted to do then was eat. Right now I'd like to loose about 40 lbs. so I'm starting over with what I hope is a new determination to win. Just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone and I'll try to keep coming back. Hopefully ya'll can help keep me on track. Everyone, have a great day! Puncezilla 03-19-2007, 05:21 PM Good afternoon, l8again, welcom & Good luck on day 1 (and everyday) stick around. BB, I hope your feeling better. One of my dreams is to live somewhere close to or on a beach, I love being near the water sooooooooo much! Brenda, way to go with the belly ring! I am restarting induction today also. I had a bit of a bad week last week, went back up 2 lbs, probably just water weight, but scared the crap out of me. was back down to 213.5 again this morning but this was the first week with no loss since I started. RobinW 03-19-2007, 05:39 PM :welcome3: L8comer! Dh and I were out looking at cars today....we really aren't car ppl, we are truck ppl, but with the gas prices we think its time to reconsider our desires. Anyway, we loved the mercury milan, and will be test driving an escape hybrid on wednesday! BB, enjoy the beach! lady_adnerb 03-19-2007, 10:34 PM BB: I'd love to live on the beach! I bet that's an awesome place to walk! Glad you're feeling better! Shelly: Welcome! Jump right in and make yourself and home!! Punce: Don't worry about the 2 pounds. You're right, it's water weight and will go away!! Robin: Good luck w/the vehicle hunting! I hear you on the truck vs. car likes. I'd prefer a truck....but will stick w/my car (because of the gas mileage thing) I didn't get my water intake in...but my eating is OP. I'm going to consider it a success though. I've got to work on getting rid of the energy drinks I've been drinking. I only drink one a day...but it has aspartame and I think that prevents me from losing (and creates sugar cravings). I'm trying to figure out the best day to do that. Might have to wait for Thursday. Arkansas Kel 03-20-2007, 02:28 AM Hello again, just ducking in to get an update on yall and give you one on me. Again, hello all newcomers! I'm her so sporadically that the folks seem to change a lot. C'mon in the waters fine. Try to hang around. My schedule was still crazy until this week - spring break from school is finally here so all I HAVE to do is work and pay taxes (literally - I'm taking the time to do our taxes!). My wt continues to drop even though I've had off days and on days. I've been very sick - so sick I told my husband to get me in at a Dr. ofc or get me in at the morgue. I have chronic sinus problems and they struck big time with a 103 temp. I even missed work (which is not normal for me). I was off plan during sickness and dropped a couple pounds! I think I ate so little anyway it probably didn't add up to much of anything. Then was on plan. Then went off again during work this week - was so constipated (another abnormality for me - maybe from being sick not long ago and dehydrated?) then back on again today. Anyway, during it all I dropped 3 more pounds. Not the way to do it, BUT hey, worked out in the end! I really miss you guys when I'm missing awhile! I got to get on here more regularly. You guys always help me stick with my plans better! RobinW 03-20-2007, 11:56 AM Good Morning Kel :wave: I had been holding so much water the last couple days that my ankles were swollen to a point I couldnt see my ankle bones! :eek: Well after 1 full day of induction I can see my bones starting to poke back out! I suspect by day 3 they should be about back to normal. I had never seen my ankles like that, not even when I was pregnant......it scared me pretty good. On to day 2 :cb: Have a great day everyone! L8again 03-20-2007, 12:15 PM Good Morning everyone! I made it thru my first day on induction yesterday. I found myself wanting to eat all day. I did ok. Instead of getting "the bad stuff" I snacked on cheese, a couple of pickles and a small piece of beef jerkey. So far so good today, for breakfast I had 2 fried eggs with a slice of cheese between them and 3 small pcs of bacon. I'm going to have to eat something soon so I think I'm gonna get me a pickle. For lunch I brought me a salad with some turkey. Not sure what's for supper yet. Eight hamburger patties or some chicken w/salad. Anyway I hope everyone has a great day today. beach bum 03-20-2007, 03:53 PM Good Afternoon Ladies :) Today we're celebrating our 10th Annviersary retiring & moving to Cape Cod. We went out to lunch at the 99 Restaurant. I found out that they have lunch in to verisons reg and low carb.I was very pleased,as now I can keep to L/Cing without cheating. Had a wonderful low carb meal at the 99 restaurant. I had 1/2 lb of marinated sirloin tips with broccoli and mashed cauliflower[ Surprise"Mashed Potato"] No appetizers or desserts so I sure this meal was scale friendly. We'll see on Friday. My doctor called and said that my blood test from last week came back with great numbers. my LDL=133,HDL=47,Total=212,Trigs=159 & my sugar=108.Eight [8] years ago my trigs were way over 300. Sb helped but not that much so I switch to low carbing,and finally I getting good results. Now only if my weight would go down,I'd really would be happy. l8again-:welcome: to the thread.I love this WOE as what I posted above.Not only does weight go down, but you get healthy numbers.My other love is to cook,so I found some low carb recipe web sites if your interested. Punezilla:-Thanks my tummy is feeling better again, it had to be the cabbage that I had over the weekend. Sorry :sorry:about your gain.Sometimes the body rests,and your numbers might go up and down before it settles.I been there,but I found that going back to 20-25 grams kept me on the maintaining mode,but once I added more carbs I started to lose again. Might not work for you,I'm up to 30-32 carbs per day. Robin:-Good :cupgold:Lucky Car hunting. Hope you find one that you like. There are so many companies & cars to choose from.We love the Toyotas,we have a Avalon. It was TOO COLD & WINDY to walk on the beach,but when it gets warmer I be out there. You must be retaining lost of water,Id you eat someing salty or with hight amount of sodium. In the winter I sometimes get lazy and buy soup instead of making the soup from scratch and my weight goes up from water. Brenda:-I'd stay away:no: from those sports drinks they have lot of suger in them. Lemonade from crystal lite is a good one to take.Like I posted to Robin much to cold to beach walk,have to wait until its get warmer. Kel:-Sorry :sorry: about your sinus condition.I sinus problems also,but never that serious. Hope you're feeling better now.Congrats on your 3 lbs off,but not that way. I use S/F Metamucil power mixed with water to get my fiber in. I take it 3 X's day before 15 M before a meal. Its a natural fiber made from corn psyllium husk. Have a great one Hugs :) BB RobinW 03-20-2007, 05:58 PM Hiya Shelley, I found I snacked wayyyy too much on cheese (cuz I love it) so now I buy the preshredded stuff. Its alot harder for me to snack on that :lol: Anyway, great job getting thru day 1!! :cb: Well, dh and I just got back from a full afternoon of car shopping. We will buy a ford because dh is a ford retiree, and we get the ford plan pricing. So far we really like the fusion, and focus with the street package. It was kinda cool on the test drive I drove thru a parking lot that had state troopers driving skill pylons set up. I think they were all on lunch because there wasnt anyone around. So it was really cool to take the fusion thru those pylons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way cool! Way fun to drive!! Then dh was driving the focus (red) street package (looks kinda like those souped up civics) and guess who got pulled over for speeding!!! :eek: :rofl: :lol3: It was just too funny, 2 old folks driving this little tricked out car! So we decided we didnt want the red :lol: We actually brought the silver focus street pkg car home over night. We really like it. We also think this particular car will be a good purchase for our business. This we decided after some young guy came up to us and asked us what kind of car we were driving and what year it was.....the young fella was impressed!! :lol: So right away Im thinking about what types of graphics to put on the car to help our business!! :lol: Ok, thats it for my day, it was easy staying op when I was driving test courses and laughing at dh for getting pulled over :rofl: Hopefully tonight will be just as easy. lady_adnerb 03-21-2007, 09:44 AM Kel: Hopefully you get the sinus problems under control! Glad to hear you're feeling better Shelly: Sounds like you've done great! Definitely watch the intake of cheese. If nothing else, eat more veggies. And don't forget the water--it helps take away the empty stomach feeling. BB: Great to hear your test results are going down!! That is awesome! And finding a good restaurant--WTG w/staying OP!! Robin: lol@ DH getting a ticket. I heard red vehicles attracted the most attention..but guess this should prove it. :lol: Glad to hear the ankles are coming back :) WTG on staying OP and getting your water in! Yesterday was good eating wise. Almost got all the water in--so hopefully today I can actually do that. Gave up the energy drinks yesterday--which I'm sure is why I got the monster headache. Already I'm not feeling as bloated though. :cb: RobinW 03-21-2007, 11:20 AM Good Morning I always find if fascinating.....the changes in our bodies on atkins. The sleepyness has started, (this morning) the headaches are pretty much gone, my hair gets soooooooooo much curlier, and Ive got 4lbs of water gone. No wonder I couldnt see my ankles :eek: Brenda~ I cant drink those energy drinks, I get whopper headaches too. I think its from the all the splenda (in the diet energy drinks). I cant drink too much splenda (or any artificial sweetener) or I get headaches and chest pains. Break out some green tea for caffeine maybe instead. Or make a green tea iced tea. I dont know what dh has planned for us today, driving around in the car I imagine :lol: I've been telling him for the last 2 days I had work to do. But he keeps making me wait :lol: Thats about it for now......have a great day ladies. L8again 03-21-2007, 12:01 PM Good Morning Everyone, Here we go with day 3. Yesterday I drank so much water my organs were floating in it. I wasn't really hungry through the day but I found that I kept wanting to eat. I didn't want anything in particular, I just wanted to eat. Does this happen often? I ate way more salad yesterday than I'm supposed to on induction but it helped to keep me away from the Dorito's. I bet I probably had 8 cups.:sorry: I'm going to try to be way better today. Is it ok that I snack on pickles? The jar say 0 carbs. So far so good with headaches and sleepyness. Not having that yet but I expect it anytime. Anyway Ya'll have a great day today and thanks for the words of encouragement!!!!!:hug: Puncezilla 03-21-2007, 03:33 PM Hay everybody! It sounds like everyone is doing realy well so far this week, YAY! BB, those blood tests are great, I had no idea atkins would make such a big difference with that. l8again, I don't know about anyone else but I do eat pickles, the ones I have say 1 carb per pickle but fit day says one pickle has 3 carbs, so I try not to eat to many, I also like to snack on olives. I also eat more cheese than the book allows, but I'm still losing so I'm not to worried about it. Also if your salad is mostly lettus it is probably very low in carbs. 2 cups of lettus is almost nothing. Robin, So stange that your hair would be curlier! I have never noticed any real changes, like more headaches or sleepyness on atkins ( I'v had headachs and drowsieness everyday for years) I do have less hunger on induction, But no "atkins flu" . Keep up the good work everyone! beach bum 03-21-2007, 04:11 PM Hi Ladies :) The first day of Spring,everywhere but here. Its still cold,even though the wind subsided.Here in the cape we don't get the warmer weather until Late April Early May,and than sometimes not until June,when it starts getting hot UGHHHHHHHHHH!! Can't get my tomato plants in until than,and then in Sept I still have green tomatoes on the vine and its ready to get cool again. Found some recipes for fried green tomatoes. Or I put them in a brown bag to ripen. Enough about the weather. Had a wonderful lunch with Leo, for our a 10th aniversary moving here. Marinated steak tips with broccoli and SB surprise"mashed potatoes". Mine taste like cauiflower,but there tasted like potaotes. Wish I could get there recipe. Brenda-I'm so happy I started with the low carbing ,and not fool around with the other WOEing. My doctor was pleased and told me to continue with what I was doing. The restaurant we went to does carter to low carbing,so I will be going their for now on.Good for you and big congrats:cheers: that your changing your liquid consumpion from sports drinks to water.It was getting cold in my livingroom so I microwaved a cup of water and than mixed it with lemon juice and splenda. It was delish.It sound weird but they only thing it was missing was a te bag. Robin-Happy that the swelling for your ankdles are gone. Wow 4 lbs loss,big congrats. I know that low carbing is the healthiest way for me to lose weight and to keep healthy. Not going back to the other diets,that for sure. Glad you found the car that you were dreaming about. l8again-That happens to me often,getting hungry, sometime because I didn't eat enogh protein or when watching the tv & the food commericals come on. I just go for a couple of slices of deli turkey or 1 tb of pb helps the craving and hunger. punezella-Oh diffentately,it has to be the Atkins or low carbing that are bringing the numbers down. Carbs are the worst if not eatten right. I'm really surprised that manufacturer's didn't keep up with their low carb products. Its very hard to find them in the supermarket these days. Have to make everything from scratch. Hopefully One day people will wake up and demand that low carbing products come back to the supermarket shelves. Have a great day Hugs :) BB RobinW 03-21-2007, 04:26 PM Robin, So stange that your hair would be curlier! I have never noticed any real changes, like more headaches or sleepyness on atkins ( I'v had headachs and drowsieness everyday for years) I do have less hunger on induction, But no "atkins flu" . Keep up the good work everyone! yup, it gets very curly.....so curly I had to let my hair grow because I couldnt do anything with it :lol: Even my mom wanted to know what I did to my hair!! Arkansas Kel 03-22-2007, 02:09 AM OK, when I'm on low carb I too notice changes in my hair. It doesn't get curlier, but it gets better - softer maybe? It's already so thick and curly/wavy that it would be hard to tell if it got thicker or curly. My nails do get stronger. My fingernails break less. My complexion improves. Usually my energy level goes up, except this is TOM week and my energy level crashes this week naturally. Usually my TOM is less dramatic, but it wasn't this week, but I was off plan while sick last week, so is to be expected. I say to all you folks overeating on salad and pickles - munch on! How on earth could you overeat lettuce? Overeat low carb raw veggies? Better that than no 1 meal at Mcd! Better a couple pickles than a bag of chips! I say you're doing fine to eat extra raw veggies and pickles. Keep up the good work! RobinW 03-22-2007, 09:59 AM I say to all you folks overeating on salad and pickles - munch on! How on earth could you overeat lettuce? Overeat low carb raw veggies? Better that than no 1 meal at Mcd! Better a couple pickles than a bag of chips! I say you're doing fine to eat extra raw veggies and pickles. Keep up the good work! Your right Kel!!!! I was so hungry last night, I opened up the fridge and really all that was in there to munch on was left over pasta.....then I spotted the pickles :lol: 4 of those, and I was good for the night. Well, today is the day we take back our little street rod focus (those words dont go together do they??!!) :lol3: We called our salesman, and told him what we wanted, so hopefully he will be able to find it for us and make the purchase today. Eating has been op, and Im starting day 4. Very tired.....it takes 2 weeks for my body to switch to fat burning right? I think Im remembering that right, I'll have to pull my book out again. So it could be another week and a half of tiredness. I can live with that tho. Have a great day ladies! beach bum 03-22-2007, 10:47 AM Good Morning Ladies:) It looks like its going to rain,any minute. They di say that we are excpeting showers today. Leo is coming down with something that he believes came fromn the doctors office. Germs on door knobs & even on the magazines that you read. He told me that he thinks that they should have purell in the waiting rooms,like they do on e the cruise ships. Robin-I never heard of that,that Atkins makes you hair curly. I've not seen anything different about my hair, except like Kel my hair is softer. Kel-Wish my nails were strong I find them breaking all the time,so I keep them short.My sister tells me to use geletin to improve the nails but it doesn't work. Have to go Will post later Hugs :) BB lady_adnerb 03-22-2007, 01:59 PM Robin: Congrats on the 4 lbs! Wish I could say the same!! My scale hasn't gone anywhere. But I can tell from the look of my belly that the bloating is gone. I'll take that :) Enjoy the car ride :) Thanks for the reminder that it takes a while for the energy to kick in--and the fat burning! Shelly: WTG on staying away from the Dorito's!! And don't worry about the amount of salad--especially if it's keeping you OP! I'd say if you don't see a problem with the pickles go for it. Dang, now you've got me wanting one! :lol: Punce: :wave: BB: And here I thought we were cold yet! I'll take our weather. We had a wicked T-storm last night..but it brought in some warmer weather (lol...I think 50's is warm. Other's probably still think that's freezing) so I'm hanging wash on the line. Hope your nice weather comes soon! Our Dr's office has the hand sanitizer by the desk. I think it's a great idea and should have them all over!! Kel: I like your attitude about the veggies! You're right...munch on! Well, woke up this morning so tired I ended up going back to bed for an hour after the DD's were off to school. I didn't sleep well last night (shoulder to fingertip pain). Once I got that little nap in, I'm feeling a little better. I'm going to do some wash and hang it on the clothesline. I guess it's supposed to be nice the next couple days. So hopefully tomorrow I can get to our sheets and get those washed. I LOVE fresh smelling sheets. Eating is good, water is better (still not exact..but getting there), no exercise yet (and read w/the new piercing that it should be nothing strenuous....so maybe in the next couple days I'll have energy to do the WATP). ONWARD!! beach bum 03-23-2007, 10:40 AM Good Morning Ladies:) Ughh!! the fog moved in,but yippee its going to be in the 50's today. I do have to get into my lite clothes,going to the Senoir Center to do some singing. I finally got a whoosh lost 2-lb this morning at W-I so now that brings me down to 160,and hopefully I can say good-bye to the 160's and hello to the 150's next week. I'm going to repeat the menus I did this past week.Went lower on my carbs from 36 gram per day I went down to 32 grams. Brenda-We finally getting 50 degree weather today,I don't know how long it was last,but I take it. I'mSorry:sorry: to hear about your pain,that takes away your zzz's.Your lucky:lucky: that you can hang out your clothes on the tine, I live in a townhouse community and we're not allowed to do that. Have to get ready to go with Leo to the dump. We going to get rid of our old computer. Have a nice day,will post later on in the day. Hugs :) BB RobinW 03-23-2007, 11:01 AM Good Morning BB~ WTG on the whoosh!! :cb: :dance: <~~~happy dancers for you :D Brenda~ I love fresh outside dried sheets too.......especially after a bath, I fall asleep before I can even enjoy the smell :lol: I hope you slept better last night. Im down another 4lbs today, I have all my ankles back :lol: Day before yesterday I was on the treadmill, and I seemed to pinch a nerve in my hand. I can actually pinpoint the spot on my elbow that runs down to my hand!! When I rub that spot, it makes my hand tingle. Anyway, I dont know what to do about it, it doesnt hurt, just has (not painful) pricklies in my baby and ring finger. More irritating than anthing else. Any ideas? Other news.........we bought the car!! Focus street package....sporty little thing! We pick it up tomorrow. So today is filled with cleaning out the explorer, and getting all our business graphics off of it. Alright, well thats all the news.........have a great day ladies! L8again 03-23-2007, 11:23 AM Good Morning Everyone!!! Guess what...I got on the scales this morning just for giggles and I was shocked to find that I am down 6 lbs since Monday. Woo Hoooo!!! That helps me to want to keep going.:carrot: :carrot: :carrot: Gotta go just wanted to drop in and share the good news. I'll be back later.:hug: Puncezilla 03-23-2007, 04:02 PM BB, Wat to go with a 2 lb loss, and congrats on the new car, you must be very excited! I hope you enjoy your good weather. Robin, down another 4 lbs, Thats awesome! I'v had pinched nerves before in my wrist and shoulder, they usualy go away after a few days, feels pretty creepy till they do. l8again, You are doing great, the lbs are just flying off! Brenda, I hope your arm is feeling better. It realy sucks when you don't get enough sleep. and way to go staying OP, I always have more carb cravings when I'm tired. I'm still OP too and down 2lbs also. I am sooooo looking forward to getting below 200. I hope to be close for easter. Everyone is doing so good this week! keep it up! beach bum 03-23-2007, 04:19 PM Thanks for the congrats :congrat:ladies,and I want to congrat :cheer: for Robin on her 4 lb loss l8again on her 6 lb loss puncezilla for her 2 loss We really did great this week, Here to next week also. Hugs :) BB lady_adnerb 03-23-2007, 04:40 PM BB: WTG on the 2 pounds!! I wish I could say I'd be at 150 next week! My scale doesn't want to move :( Glad to hear your weather is better :) Punce & Shelly: WTG on the weight loss!! Keep up the awesome job! Robin: Congrats on the new car! Have fun with it!! Sorry to hear about the nerve, and sorry I don't have any advice. Well, eating is OP, drinking is ALMOST there. No exercise. I have a monster headache so that doesn't help. That goes along w/the lack of sleep. Another gorgeous day out--wish I had the energy to go for a walk to enjoy it!! Have a great weekend everyone!! RobinW 03-24-2007, 09:19 AM Sure sign spring is here........bees busing around your head when you are working outside :lol: Yesterday was a beautiful day, I seen a chickadee, and could hear the cardinals!! :sunny: We got all the graphics off the truck, had the xm radio uninstalled....we leave in about an hour to get the new car. Im going to be thrilled with the gas mileage!! We worked it out to about $125.00 savings a month just in gas alone! :eek: So we will probably be out driving around most of the morning :lol: Have a great day ladies! beach bum 03-24-2007, 09:48 AM Good Morning Ladies:) Is it Spring Yet????? Not up here its not. Frost :brr: all over the lawns.TG My poor little flowers didn't stuck their heads up,or they we frost bite.Went to my singer rehearal yesterday and I wore a lite outfit,today is back to sweats. Thanks for all the congrats,:congrat:was shocked that the scale actually moved. I think that 35 gr carbs was too much,but lower them to 32 grams made the difference. Brenda-Hope I will get below the 160's,and not suck at that number. The temps aren't :no:co-operating either like I posted above. I don't like drinking cold water in the winter months,so I had the idea to drink Hot Lemonade,by adding lemon juice & splenda in a mug of hot :hot: water and to my surprise it was delish.............almost like hot tea without the tea bag. Robin-Have fun :carrot: time driving in your new car. Gee!! thats a big savings $$$$$ you got there. $125 is nothing to sneeze at. Have to go, Hugs :) BB Arkansas Kel 03-24-2007, 11:54 AM Congrats to all the big losers we've got - pound losers that is. My own scale has budged down another pound - Made my husband come watch me weigh I got so excited! I haven't seen that number in - well can't remember when. I'm approaching 200 now. OMG, 200! I can see it on the horizon. It's not just a fantasy. I've kept my nose down and kept trying and in little bitty baby steps I've come a long way. I'm over 1/4 done now. Now, to do this 3 more times. Am still OP, am exercising at a very paced rate - no overexerting - just building a good habit first. Have started a journal on here too to express myself more. Lovin' it! RobinW 03-24-2007, 01:12 PM only 8 more lbs and you will be in onderland Kel!! WTG on your missing lb!! :cb: RobinW 03-24-2007, 01:14 PM Robin-Have fun time driving in your new car. Gee!! thats a big savings $$$$$ you got there. $125 is nothing to sneeze at. thats why we went smaller.....we have gone from and explorer to a focus :lol: beach bum 03-25-2007, 09:57 AM Good Morning Ladies Woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground. While I was having my tea I noticed a coyote watching his prey and run across our back yard to get him Leo was too late getting the camera.. Will post later have to get ready for church. Hugs :) BB lilybelle 03-25-2007, 10:31 AM Hi everyone, I missed you ladies. I'm back from vacation. A not too great trip if anyone cares to read how I described it in the maintainers forum. I'll just call it my Gender Reassignment Vacation. LOL. Good news is, we are now shopping for a new boat. Plus, I made it home safe and alive. Sad news is I'm down to my one puppy (Lucy) as (Stitch) the runt was stolen while we were gone. He was so cute and I didn't plan to keep him, but I had given him to my little grandson. I ate pretty much on plan while on vacation and walked Molly at least 3 miles every day. My clothes from last summer fit perfectly, so I'm happy with this. Robin, Congrat's on the new car. RobinW 03-25-2007, 12:40 PM Lily~I'll have to head over and read how it went, but it sounds like it went pretty good. Im sorry about the puppy tho, Ive always been afraid of someone stealing my animals (when I had them) BB~ that sounds so cool. I love watching things like that in my own yard. Enjoy your sunday. We are off to my dh's grandson's b-day party this afternoon. Cake, icecream, pizza and wings galore!! :eek: I have my own chicken thawing as I type........I will resist and have my own supper when I get home. Still op and getting my exercise in....today it isnt suppose to rain, so I think I'll get my walk in before the b-day party. Giving me more incentive to NOT eat any crap at the party. Have a great day ladies lilybelle 03-25-2007, 03:56 PM Robin, have fun at the Birthday party. Today is my B-day too. #47, not too exciting. DH is at work. beach bum 03-25-2007, 04:19 PM Hi I'm back again,but don't know how long its going to be before I can get back on the computer.

Now I hope we'll be up for good. Have to start dinner,Will post tomorrow Hugs :) BB lilybelle 03-27-2007, 10:57 AM BB, glad to see you back on-line. Ladies, my eating was horrible yesterday. I ate a bunch of the leftover B-day cake. (every time I passed the kitchen I'd cut off a 1"square and pop it in my mouth). I worked outside like crazy. 3 hrs. of gardening. Moved a big stack of firewood. Walked 3 miles. Mowed front yard with riding mower and push-mowed fenced back yard. I weighed this morning and am back up to 145. So time to get serious and drop some lbs. I haven't logged anything in Fitday in over a week, so my pledge today is to restart logging every morsel. I feel fat and bloated. I'm gonna try to chug bunches of water. My back, neck and shoulders are so sore from all the work that I've been taking ibuprofen. I fell asleep , exhausted and sitting up in the chair at 8PM last night. Today, I have to go to the nursery and get gardening plants and get them planted. DH did take my vehicle and had new tires put on it yesterday. The spare was 16" and the other tires were 17" and it kept kicking in the all wheel drive. Made it undriveable. My puppy (Lucy) is quickly catching on to the house-training, so this much is good. Not a single accident since Saturday. We applied on-line for a new Boat. Should find out something soon if we can get one or not. beach bum 03-27-2007, 11:11 AM Good Morning Ladies Happy to be back on line again,hope we don't have anymore crashers or bugs that we don't know about. Its going to a busy week for me.This afternoon some other woman & I will be heading down to the senior center to straighten out the music sheet drawer. Half the songs folders, are either missing or miss filed. We need to find the Spring/Musicals songs for our program. Tomorrow we're having a emergency rehearsal for Holy Week,and than on Friday I go for a mammagram at 8:40 AM and than back to the Senior Center for another rehearsal for our Spring/Birthday Party. Its funny some times there is nothing to do,and other times its maddening. Lily-Sorry that you lost your puppies. Hope they find the perosons how stole them. I know about vacations,they are the worst for gaining weight. I dread my Aug vacation to Nova Scotia.I know I 'll be gaining again. Going to try hard myself to get the 13 lbs I gained on the cruise off, I lost 8 now I only have 5 to go. Its doable as I've lost 2 in Jan, 3 in Feb, & 3 in March. Wish I could start my gardening,but living in the north east I have to wait until the end of May,as we still get frost up here at that time of the year. Have to go Hugs :) BB vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

WASTE WATCH: Local Dairy Farmer Says State is Milking Him for All His Family's Worth -- Mikayla Lewis
WASTE WATCH: Local Dairy Farmer Says State is Milking Him for All His Family's Worth -- Mikayla Lewis
Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5am and News at 9pm.
A local dairy farmer says the state is milking him for all he is worth and has for a decade.
Ernie Jones and his family say after finally getting compensation for a highway built through their property, The Tennessee Department of Transportation is now trying to take that money back-using your taxpayer money.
It's the same routine for William Ernest Jones Jr., a fifth generation dairy farmer.
Now going to court is often part of his schedule. TDOT condemned part of the land for possession to put in Highway 64 three years ago.
Ernie Jones says, " We have a lot of waste at his dairy farm, we've got to distribute this waste. We didn't accept their offer."
And about a year later, the state took the property needed by imminent domain according to Jones.
About three years ago, TDOT began construction and opened the hwy.
Jones says, " We tried to get to court before they were done bulldozing to get a settlement, but they didn't want proceed, they just kept delaying us."
Last July, the Jones' took the state to court where the verdict came back in the family's favor. According to court records, the state paid about $191,000 for about 16 acres.
But now...
Jones says, "Now, they want to take the money back from us that the court awarded us."
Jones says the state is asking for about $100,000, taking him back to court for another round.
Jones says, "I'm at my wits end with them. I don't know where to go. Now there's no telling how much money they've wasted of the taxpayers money and continue to wasted everyday trying to fight a dairy farmer in Lawrence county."
Jones says it's caused stress for his family including his parents the primary farm owners. They say most of their settlement went to court and attorney fees.
Alice Jones, Ernie's mom says, " All of that cost money you know so it's just been a big hassle."
Ernie jones says, "I'm accomplishing something in life there's babies all over this world being born and they need food. I feel like I'm doing a good part in society. But I want the state of Tennessee to leave me the hell alone."
TDOT referred Fox 17 to the Attorney General's office, since the case is in litigation. Deputy attorney general, Larry Teague says, the state filed a briefing with the Tennessee Court of Appeals. He says the office is waiting on the Jones' attorney to do the same in the next couple of weeks.

Filling a gap in legal coverage
New initiative gives the cash-strapped middle class more access to legal help.
Seattle Times staff columnist
Washingtonians of moderate means now have a better chance of getting legal representation when they need it.
More than 350 lawyers have volunteered to adjust their fees on a sliding scale to accommodate people who are neither rich nor poor. The attorneys are part of a partnership between the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) and the state's three law schools.
"Access to justice has become probably the central concern for the judicial system in the state of Washington and indeed across the United States," state Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara Madsen said at the program's unveiling Tuesday.
Justice is a commodity like any other in that, generally, more money means more access.
But justice is also much more than another product. It is central to democracy, and so there are efforts to balance the scales, usually mechanisms for securing legal representation for the poorest among us.
But a considerable swath of the population is not rich enough to pay and not poor enough for legal representation.
People are eligible for the Moderate Means Program if their household income is between 200 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level for their family size. That would be household incomes between $45,622 and $91,244. The bar association said that includes about 30 percent of Washington households.
WSBA President Steve Crossland said that since the economic downturn, families in that income range have found it hard to afford an attorney when they need one.
The program offers help in three areas, family, consumer and housing law. The attorneys can expect to see a lot of divorce cases — among the most common reasons for involvement with the legal system — and landlord-tenant disputes, foreclosures and debt-collection cases.
As an example of why the program is needed, Madsen referred me to King v. King, a divorce case that came before the Supreme Court from Snohomish County. The wife, who did not have legal representation, ended up losing custody of the couple's three children and being ordered to pay attorney fees for her ex-husband, even though she couldn't even afford a lawyer herself. The Supreme Court upheld that ruling in 2007.
I read an analysis of the case that said there was evidence against Ms. King that should not have been admitted and evidence against her ex that should have been brought before the court. Ms. King didn't know how to do any of that. A long list of retired judges from around the state signed an amicus brief to the state's high court favoring Ms. King's position that the court should have appointed an attorney for her.
The brief was filed by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law and took the position that "the Washington Constitution's guarantee of equal justice is rendered meaningless if those unable to afford a lawyer in high-stakes cases are forced to litigate without representation." Some cases, including custody hearings, are excluded from that protection.
Such exclusions beg for some kind of systemic change, but in the meantime there is now a patch.
The Moderate Means Program began as a pilot program at Seattle University with students making the first referrals last June. Now the law schools at the University of Washington and Gonzaga University are participating. The bar association is footing the bill for lawyers to supervise the program.
Clay Wilson, who is working with students at UW and SU, described how it works:
People who need representation apply through the website, moderatemeanswa.org, or by phone message (855-741-6930) or are referred by other legal services.
Students interview applicants and make an initial assessment of each case. Wilson and his counterpart at Gonzaga, Laurie Powers, check the assessments, give students feedback and make the final decision on referral to an attorney.
Representatives of the law schools and the bar said the program has a number of benefits. Cases will likely move through court more quickly with legal representation on both sides. Law students will get practical experience. Younger participating attorneys will gain experience, too. And many litigants will be spared needless pain.
"Justice," Madsen said, "cannot only exist for people who have the money to be able to buy it."
That is the bottom line.

What is the historical significance of the work (its technological, scientific, or social importance)?
The Apple Macintosh personal computer was the first widely successful personal computer offering an integrated standard graphical user interface (GUI). It included an internal high-resolution black & white bitmap display, keyboard, mouse, speaker and sound output, and integrated communications including a breakthrough low-cost local area network (LAN) known as AppleTalk (later LocalTalk). The video system took its bitmap data directly out of system RAM, and the RAM refresh was automatically maintained as a result of reading the video buffer and painting it to the screen. The Macintosh was designed with an integrated switching power supply, and it used passive cooling to ensure quiet operation.
The Macintosh also was the first large-scale (and keystone) commercial user of the Sony 3.5" micro-floppy. It built on Steve Wozniak's ingenious floppy disk controller design as the first product based on a single-chip integrated version of that interface, called the "Integrated Woz Machine" (IWM). The Macintosh / Sony 3.5" micro-floppy also was unique in that it included motor-speed control for higher storage density, motorized software-controlled disk eject, and "Woz" formatted storage density improved to 400 KBytes from the stock Sony MFM-encoded 256 KBytes.
The introduction of the Macintosh built on partnerships with software developers - led by Guy Kawasaki's "Evangelism" team - and with universities, to rapidly build a viable ecosystem of third-party software and hardware add-ons, and of dramatic and useful applications and research.
The Macintosh project was originally founded and named by Jef Raskin, who saw a need for a radically simplified GUI-based computer as a major step beyond the Apple II. Jef hired the original engineering and marketing leaders. Steve Jobs later took over the project, and led it through and beyond the product's introduction and rollout.
The Macintosh quickly became a popular platform for creative users, as well as for education, research and business applications. The higher bar of an affordable high-resolution GUI, and a standardized operating system and user interface toolkit, became the new standard against which competitors had to compete. Thus, end users came to expect, and the industry was challenged to offer, more advanced capabilities in low-cost systems.
What obstacles (technical, political, geographic) needed to be overcome?
Building a personal computer with a high-resolution bit-map display, integrating a mouse and a GUI, and being able to sell it for less than $3,000 required a new approach in an era where the least-powerful low-volume alternative products were expected to be available for perhaps $15,000 or more. It was thus a challenge to (1) envision and design the product packaging, including a mouse and keyboard, and (2) create an inexpensive, low parts count (< 50 logic ICs including RAM and ROM) single-board computer that could drive an integrated bitmap display and support a GUI.
After a number of "dead ends" with alternative disk drives, the Macintosh team chose and quickly integrated the Sony 3.5" hard-shell micro-floppy drive. This was a little-known drive and storage medium, in relatively early stages of development, whose use in the Macintosh kicked off much broader adoption in the industry as well as much success for Sony with this product line.
The development tool-chain, operating system, Application Programming Interfaces and related documentation was mostly developed from scratch, though an extended form of Pascal was used (in conjunction with Motorola 68000 assembly language), and some tools were adopted from and improved from those used for the Apple Lisa computer.
The Macintosh team proper was often in a challenging relationship with the parent Apple company, whose main line of business at the time was making and selling Apple II and related products.
Designing and envisioning a new way of working with software developers and (potential) large customers such as universities catalyzed the innovative creation of the "Evangelism" processes and team under Guy Kawasaki. Apple had to persuade customers and developers to take a big risk in committing resources to the Macintosh. Those who in fact joined found that these risks paid off very well in the end.
What features set this work apart from similar achievements?
At least ten key areas and their "champions" should be noted:
1. Burrell Smith - inspired by Woz's design approach to the Apple I and Apple II, and working with Andy Hertzfeld and the software team - created a minimalistic yet high-performance personal computer. In addition to its use of a (RAM-driven) bitmap display and a one-button mouse to provide a graphical user interface (GUI), the Macintosh was also able to be networked through inventions by Gursharan Sidhu and his AppleTalk (later called LocalTalk) team, and was also able to handle sound input and output.
2. The floppy disk controller was a single-chip integrated version of the Woz Apple II disk controller, a chip called the "Integrated Woz Machine" (IWM). The chip was specified by Steve Wozniak and later by Wendell Sander, and was designed by Bob Bailey (then of Synertek).
3. After a detour into trying to build a massive full-custom VLSI glue chip, Burrell Smith was able to figure out how to drive PAL technology to get a then-amazing 16 MHz dot clock out of the built-in video controller.
4. Bill Atkinson invented QuickDraw, first for the Apple Lisa and then expanded for the Macintosh. This was inspired by Bill's visit to Xerox PARC. He was at least initially unaware that the BitBlt graphics code for the Xerox Alto (originally written by Dan Ingalls) was done in microcode, so he didn't realize the difficulty of getting high-performance graphics built for the Motorola 68000.
5. Bud Tribble and Andy Hertzfeld, working in conjunction with Bill Atkinson (the author of QuickDraw and later of HyperCard), designed an operating system that lived in ROM memory and was extended by code loaded from the floppy disk, and whose programming interfaces were exposed in Pascal (see, e.g., "Inside Macintosh").
6. The Macintosh was the first technology product to have a "Software Evangelist," a moniker coined by Mike Murray. Mike Boich was given this title, and he carried out the duties of promoting the radically new product features under the leadership of Guy Kawasaki. This approach proved to be profoundly effective in getting software developers to write third-party applications for the Macintosh.
7. The rapid customization and localization of Macintosh software was made possible by the Resource Manager (invented and developed by Bruce Horn), which all applications were encouraged and eventually required to use. This approach separated out the language and graphical design of the user interface from applications proper so that applications could quickly be translated and converted to other languages and cultures.
8. Inspired by Rod Holt, George Crow led a team to complete the first integrated high-resolution video display and computer power supply on one single-sided printed circuit board.
9. Another big innovation was the user manuals. Chris Espinosa, Lynnea Johnson, Carol Kaehler and others, under the intense guidance of Steve Jobs, invented a new class of books for users. They were clean, simple, direct, graphical, colorful, and easy to read. In particular, the "Macintosh Users Guide" by Carol Kaehler established a new kind of book to introduce the personal computer to a user who had never touched one before. This was a big departure from the materials previously made for hobbyist computers. Caroline Rose wrote the spectacular three-volume "Inside Macintosh" series that documented the system calls that developers needed to use. Without "Inside Macintosh," the flowering of third party applications would not have happened. Developers had never programmed for a graphical user interface, and were completely unfamiliar with how the Mac worked. The clarity and timeliness of "Inside Macintosh" allowed third party developers to quickly build applications for desktop publishing and many other areas.
10. The Macintosh Toolbox as designed and implemented was a huge advance. Applications were able to build on the toolbox code, and over 80% of execution would take place in the toolbox for some applications. Even though the toolbox was implemented in ROM, it was uniquely designed to permit the toolbox elements to be enhanced, extended, replaced, and repaired to fix bugs and/or to extend its capabilities.

This week, the PC Party made an announcement about education. It was quickly lost amid the NDP wailing about Stephen McNeil taking health care back to the last century. But such is the nature of elections and media. The announcement, made in front of Westmount School in Halifax was about school choice. It isn't as sexy
Polling indicates people in Nova Scotia are prepared to change government. The condition of our health care system may well be the reason. While the NDP have been busy putting out glossy brochures about Better Care Sooner, it's obvious that branding and communications aren't the problem. Take the Centennial Building at the old Victoria General
It's one of those things that have bothered me for a long time. Crappy decks. Why do homebuilders cobble together quarter million dollar homes and adorn them with 500 dollar decks? Spindly, pressure treated lumber constructions….teetering on 4×4 sticks…12 feet in the air with a ledger board nailed to the siding. They are ugly afterthoughts
I've hated Facebook for a longtime. I needn't get into all the particulars, but suffice to say, in my opinion, more bad has come from Mark Zuckerberg's little baby than good. Beyond the insufferable narcissism, attention craving, image crafting status updates and time wasting games, there are the ads. Ads that somehow know I'm over
"Y is for your sister. O is for oh so tight. U is for underage. N is for no consent. G is for grab that ass. SMU boys we like them YOUNG!" If it isn't readily apparent…this vile chant is about raping young girls….and it isn't in any way ironic. A video of this chant
As Bob Rae bows out for second time, he says he will let history judge his political contribution.
It shouldn't come as a great surprise that Dalton McGuinty resigned his Ottawa South MPP seat , Wednesday.
Today the NDP will table a motion in the House of Commons to cut funding to the Senate on July 1st. It's posturing. It won't pass. It's a stupid idea. What it will do is give the NDP an opportunity to talk about why they don't like the Senate all day. It's the same argument
It is hard to imagine the impact on the Ford family from the allegations being leveled at Toronto mayor Rob and his brother Doug… The claims of crack smoking and hash dealing haven't been proven, but the allegations themselves have kicked the legs out from under the family and for that matter the Toronto municipal

ABC News' John R. Parkinson reports:
A clearly dejected Rep. Charles Rangel just arrived at his Capitol Hill office, telling reporters today could be a bad day.
Rangel, D-NY, did not seem thrilled to see the media camped out in the hallway upon his arrival.
"Ahh boy," Rangel said as the reporters and TV camera crews scrambled into position.
"Sixty years ago, I survived a Chinese attack in North Korea, and as a result, I wrote a book that having survived that, that I haven't had a bad day since," Rangel said. "Today, I have to reassess that statement. Thank you."
Rangel ignored questions asking whether his lawyers have struck a deal with the ethics committee, and he did not indicate whether he will attend the 1:00 p.m. hearing.
Rangel, who resigned as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee in March, has been under investigation for multiple alleged violations including:
- Improper fundraising for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at the City College of New York;
- Improperly obtaining four rent-controlled apartments in New York City;
- Failure to disclose financial arrangements for a villa at the Punta Cana Yacht Club in the Dominican Republic;
- Improper storage of a vehicle in the House parking lot; and
- Failure to reveal more than $500,000 in assets in his financial disclosure forms.
At the hearing later today, the ethics committee will specify which of these allegations will result in formal charges.
That process is only expected to take 45 minutes, but it will be public and excruciating for a man once considered one of the most powerful on Capitol Hill.
Rangel's trial would not occur until September. Democratic leaders have publicly kept their distance from Rangel since news of the Ethics Committee charges surfaced last week.
Several Democrats in key races have returned campaign contributions from Rangel, others have called for him to step down.
In New York, a much-ballyhooed 80th birthday party and fundraiser for Rangel, scheduled for Aug. 11 at the Plaza, has been thrown into doubt. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said this Tuesday he was unsure if he would even attend.
In Washington this week, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he wants to move past Rangel's problems.
"I think everybody would like to have it go away in the sense that this is not a pleasant process," Hoyer said.
ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf contributed to this report.

- 1 package(s) pork tenderloin (2 pieces)
- 1 can(s) Root beer

Re: MLB News and Notes May - 14
Moises Alou said an MRI taken Saturday revealed blood in the injured area of his strained left quadriceps, according to Newsday. The Mets will wait a few days to see if he can avoid a trip to the disabled list, but Alou didn't sound very confident about that happening. "I'm not very optimistic," said Alou. "It's not a good feeling. Unfortunately, I had my knee that was bothering me, so I couldn't work on my leg for a couple of weeks."
Mets manager Willie Randolph said Orlando Hernandez probably will not be ready to come off the disabled list to pitch Thursday's game, according to Newsday. El Duque is set to toss his second bullpen session in five days today. He's recovering from bursitis in his right shoulder.
Re: MLB News and Notes May - 14
It's possible that Mike Jacobs will require a trip to the disabled list, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He returned to action yesterday after a six-game absence due to a sore right thumb but was forced to exit when his bat flew out of his hand in the fourth inning. "I didn't want to go on the disabled list, but I might have to do it," Jacobs said. "I don't have enough strength in my lower hand with the protective shield that I'm using to hold the bat without pain. I just can't grip it firmly."
It's not clear what role Byung-Hyun Kim will have with the Marlins, once healthy, according to the Sun-Sentinel. "We haven't decided on his role," said Marlins assistant general manager Michael Hill. "We will let our people evaluate him." He was on the disabled list with the Rockies due to a thumb injury, but he should be ready to go when he joins the Marlins on Tuesday.

Millwood hurt in return from DL
Mon, May 14, 2007
By Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers pitcher Kevin Millwood aggravated his strained left hamstring and lasted just five outs Monday against the Los Angeles Angels in his return from the disabled list.
Pitching for the first time since April 28, Millwood gave up Casey Kotchman's first-inning grand slam. He walked Reggie Willits with two outs and none on in the second, and Willie Eyre began warming up hurriedly in Texas' bullpen. After Orlando Cabrera singled, Texas manager Ron Washington and trainer Jamie Reed went to the mound and removed Millwood.

Braves' Smoltz injures hand
Mon, May 14, 2007
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Atlanta Braves right-hander John Smoltz left the game against the Washington Nationals in the bottom of the seventh inning after injuring his pitching hand while making a tag.
The Nationals went on to win the game 2-1.
With one out, Smoltz tagged out Austin Kearns in a rundown after Kearns was caught off third base on a failed suicide squeeze bunt attempt by Ryan Langerhans. Kearns was running toward home plate and was about 20 feet away from it when Smoltz tagged him.
Immediately after applying the tag at chest level, Smoltz fell to the ground in obvious pain. He then got up, looked at his hand and slammed his glove to the ground in frustration. He left the field after being examined by a trainer.

Lee goes back to Chicago for tests on ailing neck
Mon, May 14, 2007
By Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Chicago Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee missed Chicago's game Monday night against the New York Mets because of neck spasms.
Lee, who leads the major leagues with a .390 batting average, went back to Chicago for tests on his neck and was not at Shea Stadium for the game. Mark DeRosa started at first base - and planned to use Lee's mitt. Lee had started all 35 games for the Cubs this season.
''Nothing serious, and we think he'll be here tomorrow,'' manager Lou Piniella said. ''He's day to day. We'll see how he is when he gets here.''
Piniella said Lee was sent for tests because the team wanted to be extra safe when dealing with a neck problem.
Lee was originally left out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, but he persuaded Piniella to let him play. Lee left in the second inning due to his ailing neck. He grounded into a double play in the first and Piniella pulled him in the second.
Lee, the 2005 NL batting champion and a two-time Gold Glove winner, was limited to 50 games last year because of a wrist injury. This season, he has two homers, 17 doubles and 21 RBIs.
For the first time this year, Alfonso Soriano moved from the leadoff spot to No. 3 in the lineup, where Lee normally hits. Second baseman Ryan Theriot batted leadoff against Mets starter Tom Glavine.
''When Derrek comes back, we'll put D-Lee back in the 3-hole,'' Piniella said.
Re: MLB News and Notes May - 14
Royals DL hits double-digits
May 14th, 2007
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - The Kansas City Royals placed first baseman Ross Gload on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a torn right quadriceps, and recalled 2003 AL Rookie of the Year infielder Angel Berroa from Triple-A Omaha.
Berroa was sent to the minors in spring training, as the club acquired Tony Pena Jr. in a trade with Atlanta. Berroa hit .303 in 30 games (37-for- 122) with 15 runs and 45 walks before getting called up.
Gload becomes the major league-leading 10th player to currently reside on the shelf for Kansas City, as the Yankees have nine there.
Also, Ryan Shealy will begin an injury rehab stint with Omaha Monday.
Re: MLB News and Notes May - 14
Nationals reinstate Cordero
May 14th, 2007
Washington, D.C. (Sports Network) - The Washington Nationals reinstated right-handed closer Chad Cordero from the bereavement list on Monday, and placed pitcher Shawn Hill on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder strain.
Cordero was originally placed on the bereavement list on May 8 to attend to his ailing grandmother.
He struggled on the mound prior to his leave of absence, converting just four of his eight save opportunities while yielding 22 hits and 10 walks in 15 1/3 innings. That is in sharp contrast to the two campaigns prior to this one, when the right-hander recorded 47 and 29 saves, respectively.
A five-year pro, Cordero has a 17-11 lifetime record with a 2.74 ERA and 95 saves for the Washington franchise.
Hill went 3-3 with a healthy 2.70 ERA in eight starts before falling on the DL. The move is retroactive to May 12.
