I also love to knit, but mostly in the winter time. It gets to hot where I live to comfortably hold a bunch of wool in your lap and your hands don't sweat.

I am working on a scarf, and individual squares for a Sampler afghan. Actually for 3 different afghans, one for each of my two sons and one for me.

tortillas - salsa

I am also hypothyroid.  I was diagnosed about 2 years ago. I am taking Synthroid, 50mcg daily.

I have a female doctor and she doesn't seem to be any better informed or have any better bed side manners than the male physicians mentioned here. She was fussing at me in October to lose at least 25 pounds and with the beginnning of the new year I found my way here.  I really need to lose more than just 20 pounds and this time I would love to make it a life style change so it will stick. I also have hypertension, another good reason to lose weight.

My biggest problem is that I always feel cold, especially now in the winter month. I have contacted the doctor before when I thought that maybe the dosage I was taking needs adjusting, but she tells me that my tests show that everything is as it should be. My skin has always been very dry and it still is. And I can't tell a difference in my hair either. I am post menopausal btw.

I was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama myself. Actually New Market is more like it. I havent lived at home in 13 years but I will retire back there one day after my military career is over.

Hey, I go to school at UAH! Great for engineering.

Originally from New York, though. 

I won't hold that against you ;)... I am a transplant myself...
