No Resolution...Just Do IT!

Your first decade is the years from birth-10, the second 11-20, etc. Want
to talk about the millenium which started in 2001? Unlike counting ages,
the first year of which is 0 and ends when you turn 1, the year 1 started
the count of modern time so that the first decade ended at the end of 10 or
New Year's Day of year 11.

No, I have thyroid issues! Nothing helps my memory ;-) My oldest is always
taking advantage of me!!!

But that seems accurate as I remember more of the season vs. the actual
year. I knew it had to be a winter time frame.

But hey, it's great to be here, great ASDLC is here and life is just
great!!!

Are you sure, 96? I seem to remember a lot of people in ASD and
many
battles with 'Judy' then me and a few others writing to our
prospective ISP
to add ASD-LC. The start of 1997 is when my ISP finally added
ASD-LC to the
line up. IF it was 96, it was Nov/Dec then and I was still on ASD.
But
hey, the point is, it's here!

Yeah, no time like the NOW to start anything.

ASDLC started in February of 1998, if that helps the memory. :-)

Take care,
Carmen

Celebrate the water. Why? You were carrying it now you are not!

I ignore the holes!

Glad to see you're back. I'm new here and I'm posting because my story is
identical. It was a coincidence, but I had started Low-carb on Dec 30th as
well. For no particular reason but the time was right. There are some good
people here. I also met the local asshole

As it is, I'm a week into this and had not had any serious problem. Seems
I dropped a ton of water, so I'm cautious about being happy still. I do
like this way of eating so I plan to push on.

Wish you have great success with your goals.

Best Regards,

Steve

I seem to remember a Desiree (sp??) with a baby Simon after I joined in
2001. Could this have been you?

Either way, welcome back
