  1. Wings have protein! When I go to dinner with my mom, I do 'stop suddenly', it always hits me when I'm not paying attention..and we gab all throughout eating. She always asks "Are you going to puke? Please don't puke". She gags at the very thought of someone else puking. I've never puked or PB'd in front of her, but she is very nervous when I stop suddenly and just have to sit very still.
  2. Ohh, I didn't get what you were saying either. I googled your procedure since I didn't know what you were talking about. GOOD LUCK!!! Recover quickly, and make Susanne baby you!!

    What's the point of no "A"'s?

    Celebrating C's was dependent on the person around here. I was in the accelerated classes and straight A student, and then in high school in the AP & CP classes with straight A's. If I brought home a C, I would have faced hell. My brother & sister on the other hand.. a C was an improvement and certainly celebrated. I use to secretly debate failing some classes just so there would be some excitement when I did well!! Seems like from the people I knew, their families were that way. C's were awesome for some people and hell for others, depending on what you presented in the past. College was another ball game, I wanted the A's for my transcript. Now that I have a permanent career, and only see me changing jobs if CD & DVD's become obsolete (and I don't see it happening anytime soon, despite online downloading). So the degrees are just for fun (uh), or to make my parents happy since their other 2 kids didn't even finish high school.

    WTH???! 4 yr old weighs 10 pounds - mom charged

    Holy cow, I can't even imagine what that looks like.
  5. My surgeon sent me a letter the other day, I sent him lab work (he gave me forms to get it done every 3 months, I just always forgot) when I was doing it for the whacky drugs.. and they said everything looks good, iron, hebagoblin hemostat (blah blah?), and he said "it looks like you're doing good at getting your protein in". AH HUH! And I don't even use shakes. Preen. ---- WOW!! I just had to move 60lb box of white tiger beanie babies from my office to accounting. I thought I was going to die, and I dropped it a couple times. And that's just 60lbs.. I lost 100lbs. Holy crapola.

    What's the point of no "A"'s?

    I've had 3 teachers total do this, I guess the most BS of it all is that I have taken this class with an A, from another college. I had to take it again because they wouldn't allow the transfer. It's the same thing in both places. It's writing papers and crap like that. I was looking over the syllabus, it is laid out how to get an A.. but it's all subjective stuff. 2 of my papers had like one line things written "This is good, but you could elaborate". Well, yeah, I could have. I could have elaborated everything, it's non-sense comments. I could have talked about elephants too if I felt like it.. but it doesn't make it a B paper. Like I said, I would take it to the top if I wasn't in my last semester, but I feel bad for some of the other people who are getting upset about it. Oh and Nicole I think you nailed what I was trying to remember. In the past I was told they give B's because everyone can improve. Which is such a stupid thing to say, when you're talking about GPA's.
  7. LOL! We're like a funny blog I bet, from the outside looking in. Bunch of crazy ladies!!! (Not me of course) I had McAllister's for lunch.. last time we went it was absolutely horrible. This time I tried their chicken cordon bleu (not battered or fried), and it was WONDERFUL. I got steamed veggies with it, and those (non-seasoned or salted) were really freaking good too. I was really surprised, I doubted I'd like the veggies. Need that fill like nobody's business, I ate most of the cordon bleu and 1/2 of the veggies. Scale stopped budging. Blah blah, fill please!!!!!
  8. Mine too Terri! Hah, darn wish I'd thought of that. bringing a puppy home would set DH over the edge. DH just showed me a fun prank, we're going to do it to the girl who did the resignation.

    *sigh* The good and bad of new clothing.

    Breathe by Barely There Camisole - One Hanes Place Lingerie, Hosiery, Casual Clothes !! This is the one I ordered 3x of, that I like. And I ordered from this place, and had I known this was coming up again they sent me a 10% off coupon that I threw out.. doh.

    Measurements all out of whack.. clothes suck!

    I think we are the same height, LB has new sizing? I get 100% of my pants from alloy.com .. long lengths, and they fit perfectly on me even as I transition. My whole problem is shirts.. I am a size 18-24?-12 going down my torso. I get tired of being asked if I'm pregnant in babydolls..

    Then you're doing it wrong!! Put one shoulder off of your shoulder, and voila! --- I just google imaged, maybe I should have used a plus size model to get the point across! Ang, they're not always fitted like that, you'd be surprised how much they hide. I wear 90% tunics, they hide the side rolls and pretend camel toes.

    obese all my life and just got insurance

    Tarylor- Just to re-itterate Wheetsin.. I have BCBS, and as of April 1 last year, they now cover lap-band. However, my policy with my employer, excludes ALL obesity treatments. So insurance would not pay a dime. Before you sign up for the $100 a week, if you're only doing it right now for the surgery, make sure they cover bariatric surgery. The human resource person who you sign up for insurance with, will know this information.

    A shirt that comes down past the hips. Oh yeah, BTW that is me. Hiding my camel toe. Rofl.
  15. Michelle- It means they're a friend of yours ) Haydee- HORRIBLE!! If I did that, husband would have done the same thing.. sighed and shook his head.. cause that's the stuff I do hah!! But I've never spent so much at once, and he would just think I'm getting 'worse'. I HATE THIS DAY. My friend at work, I went to the accounting office (and CSR manager and accounting manager were there) and I said "Did you handle it?".. I was talking about something else, and they pause and go "You knew??" and I'm like ???? So they hand me this letter, my friend at work--- who months ago told me she got a better job offer, more pay, but she loves it here-- turned in a letter of resignation.. that a better offer came along. So I was thinking about our conversation from months ago, thought maybe she took it. So they're talking about counter-offering her a raise to keep her (we can not afford to lose her, she's great at what she does and it's a PIA to train for her position). And then I go.. It's April 1 you guys.. so they found out it was a joke!! hah, she was so close to a raise roflmao. Man she got everyone worked up and near tears though. And now another CSR girl is e-mailing her long time customers saying today is her last day, and getting everyone all worked up. Oy. Today needs to pass quickly!! I don't do April Fools pranks, because *I* feel horrible when they fall for them. Like DH is upset about my hospital bills that I'll be getting from last week, I told him about it Friday at lunch and he was getting really upset. So today I could say "The bill came in, it's $4k" and he'd go ballistic.. and then I can say April Fools' and watch it end up being 4k hah.
  16. I didn't realize I had any, my suggestion is something on the right side near private messages that says "New Visitor Messages". I feel bad now, since I just now noticed them.. woops. I guess now I'll be checking it, but would still be nice to have something over there that lets you know to look!
  17. Yeah I'm not sure, I thought maybe the 'group' would include announcement features. I think it's really just another thread, so it defeated any ideas I had in my head. But I was hoping you could 'send all members of this group a message' kind of thing. Maybe you can, I need to look more into it. That, was the point!

    *sigh* The good and bad of new clothing.

    Yup... the ones I got, the camisoles are long, they tuck UNDER my pannis so everything is nice and held tight. They are only $15 each on the website.. I tried them on at JC Penney to find the right size (the website gives you what your size "should be" based on measurements).. it was right in my case, but I wanted to try them on and make sure.. It wasn't much more expensive in the store, like $25 I guess.. But $15 is hella cheap for shapewear, so I ordered 3 different ones. They are about the size of one of my boobs though, DH didn't believe me when I said I could put it on hah hah. And Spanx brand rolls up on me, these didn't. And they do have semi-kind of cups for the boobs, my only complaint on these is that they do hold me in more than I'd like on the chest. Anyway, check out the Barely There!

    I can make yummy bloody mary's!
  20. You're too funny Michelle! :o)

  21. Yeah, I ignore the fact you can see where we're browsing.. but I don't like on profiles now it shows WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Like I was editing profile, and it said I was doing something, like editing my information. Eep. And I don't like that people can see when I look at their profile, I like to be sneaky!! And I thought the social group would be fun, now I'm not sure why I did it. SIGH! THANKS KAT!

    *sigh* The good and bad of new clothing.

    LoL. I care, just going through the same thing. Looks like I have a big camel toe, but it's really just my flabby deflated belly. Tunics.. tunics.. tunics.. I did get the Barely There shapewear camisole things someone recommended when I ranted about being different sizes all over. I don't know that they hold anything in so much, but they don't roll up, and they keep all my bulges from jiggling. So I can wear more fitted shirts without looking bad. Very neat you can shop in gap though, I have never been able to shop there, or thought to try now. hm..

    All you people do is complain...

    Kity, drive by a KFC in the morning, it's enough to make you not ever want to eat chicken again

    It definitely can be done, and that's the attitude to get it done!
