Mal

I am a big burber too. I burb when I am hungry and I burb when I am full and it's not just one or two small burbs, it is like I burb sentences! It is going to be a beautiful sunny day here, hope the locals can get out and enjoy it!!

Dee~Yup, I called yesterday morning and left a message with the voicemail and Marilyn called me early...I got in at 10:00ish. Tom did my fill, he is great. He is a wonderful addition to the already great Dr. K group. I am soooo happy that I got a fill and I think we found a good spot. Usually takes me a couple days or a week to feel my fills??? I probably should do liquids for a couple days, but I don't. Drews~yummmm, steak is my favorite...ribeye!! I have no problems eating steak. I hope your unfill helps out. linz~I would think that you are okay to start the elliptical, but maybe you should call and ask Dr. K first. Better safe....

Lap~Congrats! and I sure hope the doc's can find out a way to make you feel better. Dynamo~GREAT idea, we should all sign a card from the RR Banditos!....picture included, of course (another good idea, Dee).

DREWS!!! Good to hear from you! I actually snuck in for a fill yesterday morning, I was out around 10:40ish...darn, I would have loved to chat at ya' for a few! So how are you doing?

YAY!! WOOFAY!!! You are such an inspiration to all of us. WAY TO GO!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! :blushing::smile2: :wub:(here you are driving your new jeep)

Thanks...the 3 bite rule...I can dig it!!!

Hi Dynamo~I am doing well! I am still working out, and I still love it, it really does make me feel better. I know what you mean about the stalling. I know that with working out, the scale doesn't seem to be as friendly at times and that can be discouraging. I am so paranoid about getting that flu bug! I wipe the machines down before I use them too and after too, I pull my sleeves over my hands when using a shopping cart~that has been a quirk of mine forever! Everyone around me is getting sick. I get cold induced asthma, so if I get sick, it really wipes me out, I can't remember the last ime I was fortunate enough to just have the sniffles...it turns into full blown bronchitis or pnemonia, so I am being very careful about exposing myself to the "yuckies". Lots of hand washing and hand sanitizer!! Take Care!!!

YAY Woofay! I am jealous (but very proud) too, especially about the gym part!...how do you do it!! Dynamo~I don't know where the cookies are on that list??? I should edit... HI Dee!

oh Brandy, that is terrible! Im sending healing vibes your way and I'll be praying for your daughter on wednesday too!

Ah yes Acai, the wonder antioxidant. I have a bunch of Sambazon Pure Acai in my freezer, you can get them at Vitamin Cottage in the frozen section. I add it to smoothies. It tastes terrible by itself. I also have some liquid Acai Complete, this stuff is amazing (it taste yucky too, but all you need is 2Tbsp a day). I get this stuff at Outletnutrtion.com.

Oh yeah...and I forgot to remind you to replace your toothbrushes!

Woofay and Lap~you gals have been through HELL and back with the "sickies". I hope you both are feeling better soon. Do you take a multi daily? Did you get your flu shot? I know that is not the answer, I was just curious. I take a multivitamin, but I don't get enough fruits and veggies in me. I found a list the other day. The eight things you should eat everyday. I'll see if I can find the article, but here are the 8 foods. 1. Blueberries 2. Oats 3. Carrots 4. Yogurt 5. Walnuts 6. Tomatos 7. Spinach 8. Blackbeans I remember when I first started working around children, I was constantly sick for almost 2 years. I had got strep if the wind blew in my direction, sinus infections were like a monthly thing for me. I was on antibiotics WAY too much! I got my tonsils out, I haven't been sick since(knock on wood)! I hope you two feel better soon and the evil bugs stays away! FEEL BETTER SOON!

The weather is going to be nice...60 tomorrow when you come in, the middle of the week 40's and 50's, maybe a little snow on Tuesday. Have a safe trip!

Beautiful... Mal, I hope you're doing ok. You've had some hard things come your way lately. Love to all, Karen Thanks Karen, I don't know why all the drama in my life all the sudden??? I am doing fine, I believe we are given what we can handle. It's been crazy but somehow we will make it through this.

Thanks Brandy~ My son is going through the "anger" stage. We had a long talk last night, I hope he heard some of the things I tried to tell him. He just lost another friend in Dec and he is still dealing with that terrible news.

He is ADORABLE!!! What a happy baby!!

Hi Taynuh, I hope you find good restriction with your new fill. thanks for the information on the osmosis, sounds like Dr. K made a good choice with Tom. How are those babies?...keeping you busy? good hearing form you again

YESSS.. no more snoring for me and I sleep soooo much better! Congrats Jack, heading where you have never been before!

SCARY!!! Please let us know what Dr. K says about that. I just asked for a reciept Thanks for the prayers. I just can't believe this happened AGAIN, it has only been 2 months. In December, my son lost a friend the same way...found a gun in the home and shot himself. This is just horrific, my heartaches for the families and the friends that are left behind to sort things out...it has been tough!

Welcome tiny67! You have found a great group of Banditos! I just love 'em! Dynamo and Tied~ I sent you both PM's, thanks. Tied keep us posted on how you are doing. Whew, what a bizzare few days, weeks, months it has been! This is no way to start off a new year! Thanks to everyone for the kind words and prayers. I wish I could make sense of it all??? TAXES!!!!...I send mine off to my Tax Accountant and I am having a hard enough time just fililng out the forms (and that is supposed to be the easy part??). Veri~ I hope the gas leaves you soon. I didn't get the gas pains, but I heard to walk, walk, walk and then some more. Have you tried Gas X, I had some of the melt in your mouth strips (just incase). Woofay~I saw a spot on the news last night about RT in the Springs. I hope your hubby is okay.

OMG!!! This is totally off topic (sorry)... My son just told me that another friend (more of an aquantence) commited suicide! What is happening??? another gun shot suicide! I don't even know what to think! This time it was a girl, she did it over a boy...I am soooo sad, this is NOT right! My heart aches for these parents, friends, our community...I have lost a few people in my life, I was an adult, these were difficult to deal with...how do our young deal with so much loss at a young age over things like drug over dose and suicide....I am just overwhelmed with all this sadness that my 13 year old has to deal with...sad, sad, sad...

Bahot~what is your secret..how did you ever get those cell phones from the girls??? I know my teenage son would go into convulsions if he was ever with out his phone..sad, sad I know. Tied~I still have a lump just below the large incision. I think it is my port that just sticks out a lot??? Marcy~I can't wait to see your pix! Lap~Are you up to par? Hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy our beautiful sunshine today!!

Viri~Heal well! Brandy~Congrats on your losses, sounds like you are GREAT! Amieru~One more week! don't worry about boo-boo's, you are doing fine, your liver will be in great shape. Linz~Happy to hear your post op went well. Continue to heal well. Gotta run, I have a correspondence course to finish...fun, fun, fun!

Lap~LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the pix! I especially loved the way you worked the color and the black and white...very nice! I am sending "healing" vibes to you. You have been sick long enough...get better soon! Dynamo~I would deff take it if someone paid me to live in the mountians...heck it's the only way I could afford to live there$$$ How's your BP? I am doing much better on half the dose. Purses, how fun! Can you make me a new Coach bag? Woofay~What's new Magoo? How's the job? I have been terribly busy. I have been taking classes and renewing CPR/First Aid and all that fun stuff. After 18 years it gets boring, but I can always learn something new. Tied~I bought a few new pair of pants and jeans. My new problem is that my pants are loose and baggy everywhere EXCEPT my stomach...grrrr, I am doing those belly ups as much as I can! don't you just LOVE what the cover of your journal says? (((hugs))) HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY!!

Hola Banditos! I am still around...lurking more than posting. Not much new here. Doing half the medication, feeling better. Dynamo~Which HS did you sub at? Happy to hear that the meds are working out of your system, how scary that must have been for you! Thank goodness your trainer was with you. woofay~how's the new job? I LOVe the belly ups...I do them all the time, sitting, walking, laying down, I am always holding my stomach in and holding it. Thanks Dynamo! Tied2b~Hows the band treating you? are you using the journal? Lap~Hope all the yuckies are gone, breath well and feel better! Has anyone heard from Mare? Drews? VA? I am off shopping today for new pants! Smaller ones!!!
