Congratulations on your escape from "inside the beltway." This is a good group of folks who are dedicated to the perpetuation of conservatism. Your "insider info" will be invaluable. Welcome!

Welcome to the Tango group! No partner necessary on wed. and sunday at The Copa... always people there to dance with. Come join us.

Hi Melanie, thanks for joining. Make sure to check the calendar for shows and events... meet ups coming soon!

Hi, Melanie, Somehow I miss your question about size, and I truly apologize for that! Of course you are welcome in our group! Health at Every Size is about just that- Health at Every Size! I'm trying to figure out an efficient way to get folks with different geographic and time requirements together. I encourage you to post a suggestion that will work for you. What part of town are you in? What type of pain are you dealing with? Warmly, Theresa

I'm moving to austin this summer..I lost my dad and grandpa to cancer..I'm sorry to hear about your husband and your dog.. I bought my parents a yorkie and my dad loved that little thing and when he passed that dog was all she had...she never does anything and never wants to leave him. I found her a girl yorkie for Christmas 09.. she is getting out a little more. would you want to get a new puppy? I'm so sorry..I want to help : (

Hi Melanie:

I've been a member of the group this time around for several months, and it has been a lot of help, both with advice and support. I've suffered with degenerative disk disease and spinal stenosis for more than 10 years. It's nice to talk to people who know what chronic pain means.

thanks melanie. it has been a while since i joined. i had the spinal stimulator put into my neck in the mean time. it has been almost 3 months and it seems to be helping for the most part. still waiting for it to scar into place so the relief is more consistent though.

Welcome to the group Melanie !!! I hope this year Is better for you than others !!!!!

Melanie - thanks for the greeting. It must be difficult for you to be in a new environment with your recent losses. From you photo I can guess where you were a year ago tomorrow night?
