Good Morning Y'all! Sorry I was MIA for a while, I was busy doing the Christmas decorating things. Yup, I got my tree up and DH got the outside decorations done. I did some decorating around the house along with the laundry/cleaning stuff. DH built a fire in the fireplace and it was toasty warm! Although I have to say everything in here smells like a smoker! He used some mesquite wood and when you walk into the house you can really smell it! I told him I would be going to work with my clothes smelling like that! Cindy - 13 days! Wow girl, you will be retired before you know it! Mandy - What a neat picture of your daughter, she looked like she had so much fun! Thanks for sharing with us! Darcy - Go to their showroom full of people and start complaining real loud! That worked for me once, they don't want a bunch of potential buyers hearing bad complaints! Good Luck! Kathy - Welcome to the NJ thread! Congrats on the quiting smoking! It's a hard thing to do, but so rewarding farther down the road!:clap2: :clap2: Anne - Loved your story! I had to say it cracked me up! Sherry - We had a ringer washer too! I use to have to help my DM with the laundry back then. I must say I am glad we have the ones we have today. Can you imagine doing all the emptying of the Water etc.. now with working? Patty - Glad you got to spend some valuable time with you son on his BD! Kat - Your big pot of stew sounds wonderful! Thanks for the addresses! Eileen - glad you are feeling better! My foot is still hurting, my finger is all healed up so I guess I will live!:clap2: :clap2: Pat - Where are YOU? Beanie - Let's win the lottery! I am sick of working!:clap2: :clap2: Well, I know i missed a few of you, but I have to run and get dressed. Back to the grind this morning. It's cold here, 25 this morning and I am freezing so I need to get some warm clothes on! Later!

Try a heating pad on your shoulder, it really helped me a lot! Walking is the best thing for the gas, but that heating pad does wonders for the shoulder. -
Welcome to LBT! Glad to have you aboard!:biggrin1:

Good Morning Y'all! Gosh, it's hard for me to believe it is December already! I guess I should with the weather we are having! I'm glad it's Friday, last day and I can wear jeans and a big old sweatshirt. Well, it's not old, but it's warm!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: I still haven't done the first thing for Christmas! I just can't get in the mood this year! I think it is so much work on Thanksgiving that wears me out, then it's hard to get going again. I guess I'll get there!:tired Ivan - It's good to see you again! I'm glad your DW is doing great too! I agree that maintaining is harder! Well, just wanted to drop in and say a quick hello, I'll catch y'all later! Have a great day!

Buuuuuurrrrrrrr! I hate this cold weather! I just can't get warm! My hands are so cold I can't hardly type! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! :girl_hug: They were going to let us leave at 12, then decided to wait so they ordered pizza and salad for everyone so they wouldn't have to go out in it. Then they were going to let us leave at 1, then 2 and we finally got out of there at 4:15! I just wanted to be home! Beannie - I'll split the lottery with you any day, any time! I was going to stop and get one for tonight, but I was just too cold to do it. Now I am pouting because I don't have one! Cindy - I want your day! I didn't want to go outside at all today! Glad you enjoyed it! Kat - I do think that after being banded for a long time you start to ease up on things a little bit. You aren't so scared anymore, and you get a little more comfortable with how you look. I am a firm believer that being too tight will cause erosion. I think being too tight causes a lot of problems, pbing too much and then slipping is one of them. Chris and Anne - I hope your fills do the job! Sherry - Hope you aren't working too hard today! Mary - That's funny on the bra! When I was in the 3rd grade I was a 36c, and the only girl wearing a bra. The boys use to tease me and snap my strap and it imbarrased me so much. One day I decided I wasn't going to wear it to school, but I knew I couldn't let my mom see me without it. So, I left to go and took it off outside and stuffed it in the mailbox! (of all places) Well, my mom goes out to get the mail and there is my bra! Now, I have imbarrased her with the mailman! Needless to say I never went to school w/o my bra again! Eileen - How's the throat? Better I hope! Jules - Good luck with your fill! I thought I was going crazy this morning when I came on and saw the December Chat! Catch you later, I'm going to get my blankey and cuddle up with a hot cup of tea! :D

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! Glad to have you aboard! ;) :bananapartyhat: -
Good Morning Y'all! It's nice this morning, but later we'll be freezing! Yikes! I am not looking forward to that! I did go out and cover up some of my plants yesterday, but after listening to the news this morning, it might have been a waste of my time. They are saying gusting winds/storms, and that will just blow it all off. So much for all the work I did last night! And yes, I agree with Beanie on the drivers down here! Anne - Thanks for posting the picture. It does look somewhat like hers, even sounds a lot like hers, but she does a lot more with the poo on top I guess. I don't think she uses any food coloring either. Hers looks a lot more disgusting that the one on the internet. I guess after making one for several years you get use to doing different stuff with it. Or, maybe it is seeing it in person that makes it different. Very close though. The reaction on people's faces is the best part of the whole party! Of course some of them eat the poo and that makes everyone go ewwwwwww! Eileen - How are you today? Hope you feel better! Drugs girl, drugs! Kat - Your out fit sounds lovely! We want pictures when you get all gussied up! :bananapartyhat: :purplebananna: Mandy - Hey shopper girl! What is your plans for today now that you are a free woman?:clap2: :clap2: Cindy - How is the house going? Are you back to normal yet? Beanie - How is the exercising going? I have been planning on spending my lottery winnings since the day they invented the lottery! They just don't want to co-operate with me.:xena_banana: Darcy - Hang in there, it seems like when it rains it pours! Pretty soon, they'll either have all new parts in your van or give you a different one! Dianne - You'll have fun, just do it! Sherry - Hope you have a better day at work today! Pat, Patty, Mary, where are you gals? Catch you all later!

Eileen - Hey girl, go get some meds, if you have strep throat, and it sure sounds like it, it will only get worse. I had it so bad one time they had to put smelling salts under my nose to keep me from passing out at the doctors office. He told me I had the worse case he ever saw. I couldn't swallow my own spit! I had to sleep sitting up. Do not let yourself get to that place, it isn't fun! Get thee to the Doctor! Sherry - I forgot my camera, but I don't think they would have taken too good with all the fog anyway. She won't let anyone come until after dark, and then we aren't allowed anywhere near the kitchen. I can tell you this much, it does look like a well used cat box. I might have her make one for me sometime for one of my parties, and then I'll get a picture and post it. Girl you need to get more than a weekend of alone time! Your pretzels sound yummy! I hope you get the work problem settled soon! Hugs! Kat - You'll get into those pants! Have faith! One of the gals that use to post here sent me a bunch of her clothes and it saved me big time! She is a special gal! When we all met in Galvaston, I took a ton of clothes with me and everyone went through them and took what they could use. I didn't have to bring any home with me. I also have a girl that I give some to here at home. Dianne - Go have fun and enjoy yourself. Life is too short to worry about all of it. On second thought, stay home, send me your ticket and I will go for you and you won't have to worry at all! Anne - Oh my! I think I would have reported her to the health department. That is awful! I certainly wouln't have paid her! Go to the internet and post a story about her place and what happened. Mabye you can save some poor other sole from doing the same thing. I am gald you didn't let it ruin your trip and you still had a good time though! Chris - Enjoy that single life! I had so much fun being single and not answering to anyone! No, I wouldn't want to go back there again, but the memories are so much fun to look back on! Pat - Hey girl, are you sick or just doing the Christmas thing? I miss your posts! Let us know how you are! Darcy - Sorry you are having so many problems with the new vehicle. I bought a Chrysler that did the same thing. We finally ended up getting rid of it! I would never buy another Chrysler product! I love the looks of them, but the product stinks. Patty - Any news yet? Call them! Again, and Again, and Again! Cindy - The time sure is getting here fast! I know, not fast enough for you huh? Beanie - Ah, sounds like a nice weekend! One of these days, I'm going to have one of those! Vegg - How you feeling? How is the gas pains and the drinking going? Mandy - Wow! You are certainly getting a lot of shopping done. I haven't done the first thing! No shopping, no baking, and no decorating! Well, I have to get ready for work, I have played too much already this morning! I miss the days when I could come on here all day long!:cry

Iluvharleys replied to bandina's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good Luck! Make sure you have some liquids ready along with some popcicles, and Jello. Start walking as soon as you can, it helps more than anything else. Don't forget to post and let us know how you did!:biggrin1: Take a pillow with you for the ride home and wear something loose and comfortable.:biggrin1: -
Good Luck and let us know how you did when you can!

Hello Y'all! What a busy weekend! And just too much food everywhere! Thursday Thanksgiving, Friday (had to work part of the day) and did some errands. Then Saturday was our late Halloween Party, (I'll post the menu) and today was my Thanksgiving dinner for home. I cooked most of the day, along with laundry etc. I am pooped tonight. Now, if you have a weak stomach or things bother you don't read the menu! It is a fun thing that my DS-I-L does every year, but her daughter couldn't make it here from California until this week so we waited for her. There is candles lit all over the house, and the room is all fogged up! We sit in the front room with all this for the first part. DRINKS Bat Blood - your choice of fermented or unfermented Urine on the rocks HORS D'OEUVRES Crusty Amazon Larva Bags of green slime Rabid Owl Wings Deep fried human eyeballs Withces nose warts with toe jam and crustys And a house favorite....Jeffery Daumer Pinkeys with clotted blood. Now, we move to the dining room, which is also all fogged up and the table is decorated with rats, spiders, snakes, and all kinds of weird stuff. Some are animated too! There is also a ton more candles burning. SALAD Leaves and Creatures of the forest Poison Ivy and Oak leaves Chopped Vulture eyes Sliced Warthog snouts Hanzel and Gretel teeth White rat kidneys Cold snake hearts Gried green lizard brains Dried cancer scabs Whipped phlem or blood lymph spray ENTREE Headless round worms Roadkill and Vulture brains in blood sauce Bat fungus nail clippings DESSERT Dung topped with cat tongues 4 & 20 Black birds baked in a pie And the dessert we have all been waiting for.......... Kitty Litter Cake I thought some of you might get a kick out of reading our menu! It's a fun time every year! Well, guys/gals, I am going to go kick back and rest now. I will try to catch up with everything tomorrow. I did get to read it all, just didn't have the energy to do all the personals. Have a great night!
