Stay safe and enjoy your holiday weekend. I hope to see my grandkids while visitng daughters and in Clarksville. If I do of course pics will follow.

My Mom and I have this weird connection. I have this same connection with my middle daughter. When one of us is feeling low or trodden upon and our self esteem is in the toilet, we either call the other or send inspirational emails like the one I just got from my sweet MOM. And believe me after a day like today I think we all could use some uplifting. I know I could. So read and enjoy. Now where did I put that Tequila and Salt? Subject: Tequila and salt This should probably be taped to our bathroom mirrors where we could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true. 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. You are special and unique. 8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look. 11 . Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. And always remember...when life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over! Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you know they are always there!

Lexi: It sounds like you need to give yourself some time to heal and not do anything anytime soon. Give yourself a break. What happened to you was an aggressive doctor that should have known better. I am so sorry for your troubles. I lost my band to ERosion and rebanding is something I am discussing with my doctor. I lost mine in Dec of 05 and he wouldn't even consider doing anything for 6 months so I could heal. Take that into consideration. You might want to wait longer since you did have an infection you had to get over. Take this time to heal and make some decisions.

Kraggie Hope, TN HMMM? Wonder if that is near Upper Butt Crack? Gotta love Stephen King books. Or was that a Stephen King book/movie? Deloris CLaiborne. REmember her? OK Think it is time for bed. Too tired now. Nite Nite!

IF they are committed to losing weight or at least saying so here. LOL!! All thread killers welcome, all interested parties welcome to participate but trouble makers will be executed at close range. OOPS!! Maybe I shouldn't have said that. HEHEHEHE!!!!! Tired wore out and ready for bed here in Clarksville, TN.

I am awaiting Alex' decision of whether or not I am still a moderator. I haven't heard from him as yet. I sent him an email on or about the 23rd regarding my involvement in BigChix fiasco. I have publicly apologized for my participation in that event. I don't know what else I can do at this point. I have suspended doing any Moderator duties until I hear from him. I won't lock a thread, delete a thread, respond to any requests for such or perform any Moderator duties till he lets me know one way or the other. Being on LBT has been fun and exciting and sometimes disappointing and frustrating. I have made mistakes in the past and have atoned for them. I have owned up to my lack of judgement this time as well. If I am wrong I admit it and apologize for it. Only time will tell what the final outcome will be. In the future I will think before I act. I will use my better judgement and think or walk away from the situation and get a second opinion if need be before I act. I am just outraged by the comments Lisa made about me and my character. SIGH!! I should have learned the first time.

Too funny!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: More encore encore!!!! OK sad but true I have to leave this fun bunch to get my bags packed. SIGH!! Raises a glass to all in salute of womenhood and (oh yeah menhood) the ever present struggle of weight loss and obesity. Where is my man? Gotta hug him. Later gater's. Hey Funny if you check in here it is a darn shame you live in Tampa and not closer to Orlando area. I will be there the 4th through the 6th. Maybe next time. TOODLES!!

Raises bottle of wine oops glass no bottle whatever and grabs a bag of cheetos and gallon of chocolate ice cream (no fancy ice cream just chocolate) and sings tone deaf songs. I LOVE JOSS STONE. This song of hers is especially poignant for me. Title: Right to be Wrong Some of the lyrics I've got a right to be wrong My mistakes will make me strong I'm stepping out into the great unknown I'm feeling wings thou I've never flown I've got a mind of my own I'm flesh and blood to the bone I'm not made of stone Got a right to be wrong So just leave me alone. Don't you just love those lyrics? Hitting the road tomorrow and won't be back till the 11th. Will check in when I can and read all the posts. I am sure it will be interesting.

I remember those Clackers. I used to have some and I can't tell you how many bruises I had from trying to do them over my hands. OUCH!! I have pendulum boobies. Take my bra off and they hang to my knees. LOL!!!!

clakclakclakclakclak I just love that!!

Alas I wish I still had mine. Congrats on all losses.

Who says a Pool table can't be a golf course? And I love cheese. Cheese on ANYTHING will do for me please. HEHEHEEHE!!!! Had to get my two cents in there. Or was that 10 cents. Either way pass the warm brie, Beringer Zinfindel (whole bottle please) Fuji apples or d'anjou pears. Where is the party?

Oh both of you can go fly a kite. I haven't counted calories or gram of Protein in ages. I hate doing that stuff. But you know when I was doing it on a regular basis I was losing. Shoot I hate it when I make sense. Guess it is back to counting for me. Well today is shot.

GOOD POINT!! :clap2:

I have heard that eating 6 meals a day will increase your metabolism. I have to tell you though if I told myself I was gonna eat every two hours I would fail miserably. LOL!! I would think it was OK to eat JUNK. LOL!! I gotta do something though. Might just give it a go.

Hey Amy go bite a big one. That is all healthy stuff. That isn't fair you aren't playing right. :biggrin1:

Hey Paul I have heard that you should exercise and eat within the first hour of getting outta bed. Our bodies have been fasting all night long and need to be refueled quickly. Makes sense to me. 8 Hours of fasting or more I would be hungry for sure. Also drink water at least 8 oz upon rising as we are mildly dehydrated as well. At least that is what I have heard. I do keep a bottle of water at bedside and if I get up to use the bathroom I take several swigs.

Look at my post a couple clicks down. You see where I made three committments (IN GREEN). Then in Black you see my daily committments. You chose your own and check in as often as you can with updates.

Hey there Heather, I wish it was so we could just meet for a short bit, hug then say adios. It would be so cool to finally meet you. I am gonna be in Florida from the 4th till the 7th. Any chances?
