Thats it I'm outa here. Y'all have fun!

I'm over here ROTF Zoe sounds like your getting way more exercise than me, I'm almost jealous!

When things "fall down" your throat, does that count for exercise? I'm diggin deep here can you tell? What about when you "fall down" on the couch, or "fall into" the computer chair once again? Because if those kind of things count. Count me in. I'm faithfully exercising then. :laugh

Marie, If it's just Tom and I that will use this beach house we'll get one of the smaller beach houses. But if you ladies want to get togather on the weekend we will get one of the larege ones use it for us on the weekdays and LBT party on the weekend! The larger beach houses sleep 10 and rent for 1200-1500 a week. Example: We rent the nice large one that hes 2600 sq. ft. 3bed 2bath price avg per night=215.00 thats 22.00 per person per night. So if you come for two nights of fun (Fri. & Sat. check out Sun by noon?)you'll spend 44.00 total for room expence. Thats cheap compared to any hotels down there. If you're a couple and want to stay two nights double that price. This is all just a suggestion. February is a long ways down the road but you'de need to reserve ASAP to get the nice Beach House.

WOW! You sound like one Insightful, Inspirational and Intelligent woman. All the stuff that role models are made of! Thank you for sharing with us. I hope to meet you in person one day!

Hi Leatha, my name is Lisa and I am a LBTaholic professed shopahloic and confessed talkaholic! But the thing I'm most proud of is a recovering overeater! I've been on the wagon now for almost three months and things are definately looking up :laugh

Lisa you need to pick on some one your own size! Remember I'm bigger than you! :banana Y'all check out this web site and tell me what you think, I'll be renting one of these beach houses at the end of Feb. for my aniversary I could go ahead and include the weekend if you ladies want to party there. info@cottagebythebeach.com These are nice looking Beach homes in all differnt sizes, I can rent a very large one if we want to make this the place for LBT's next bash, they're walking distance from the beach, also near dining and entertainment. FUN, FUN, FUN! My house is no where near fun places to visit for family or girlfriend time. The neatest thing in my little town is Wally World! AND I live in a dry county! BORING

Good post Leatha, Well done! To all of you other ladies posting on this thread hello and welcome. It's good to be in bandland!

Ha! Ha! low blow Marie...what I lack in dog I make up for in personality! That's it I'm putting my foot down on this one. NO dogs, no cats, no pets esp. the shedding kind Marie. Period the End! Hey, what do y'all think about renting one of those Galveston beach houses for the weekend? It'll be out of season so the price will be rock bottom if we have it in the winter like y'all are talking about! You know instead of renting hotel rooms a few of us could go in togather and rent a beach house. Sounds like fun to me!

Rebeccalee, how can you change your title? Where do you do that at? I was looking to do that this morning and did'nt see where you can on my page. None of this is dire emergency but would like to know for future references! Thank you Penni you've been very helpful!

Penni, I'm thinking you might have things that we don't because your a moderator now. Could that be the case? Because I have nothing under my page #'s. And I looked at all of the standard avatars looking for an avatar that says custom on it and seen none. Maybe your in charge of custom avatars! Oh joy, Penni's gonna be BUSY!

I like to refried beans w/onions and cheese from our local Mexican Restauraunt, they don/y have a drive thru but I it's still fast and ready to eat!

I can't pass this one up...A paxil-popping weekend! OMG girl! If I have anything at my house my kids are gonna be here and yours is welcome too! I have a seperate living area just for my kids. It keeps them out of my living room (sometimes). I'm thinking about turning thier livingroom into a gameromm with table tennis or a pool table. I can't decide. I like table tennis. Tom likes pool. I want to burn calories! Actually I gave my antidepressants up three years ago, they caused me to gain too much weight. I don't need them now, thank God. I can't stand to be on an emotional rollercoaster ya know! I'm under the impression we're tossing this ball of where the next bash is around until someone catches it and won't let it go! I'm game as always for get togathers, I love to entertain! But, I also would'nt mind it if someone else wants to play hostess (esp. here in the Houston area!)

OMG this web site is awesome! I even saved it on my favorites list. It is FULL of good stuff that every bandster should know! I wish I would have found this long ago!

I don't know Leatha, Somebody (moderators) please tell us how do you upload a new avatar of yourself now or can you? Maybe were all stuck with our present avatars!!! Scary thought...

Wait! You didnt let me finish, I had to go put my kids to bed. That was Spud this is Duke. Duke is a play boy he loves to play, play, play. Spud can't stand it. He runs to get away from Duke! It's so funny to watch them two in action. Duke will run up to Spud and bite his ears snif his butt then lay belly up with his short legs just a dancing around beggin for spud to play with him, Spud gives him a warning with a real serios look and a in the throat growl. But that dos'nt stop Duke, he keep on biting and sniffing and rolling aroung until Spud has had enough thats when Spud runs for the oposite corner of the yard! But since the back yard is fenced there no escape for Spud! Duke just follows him around begging to play! One day Spud is gonna give in and roll on his back right along with Duke. I think the reason why those two are so funny to me is because they remind me of Tom and I. Tom's the real serios one like Spud (he's an intelect) and I'm the playful one rolling around belly up always looking for a good time. But what others don't know is that persistance has paid off for me. When others ar'nt looking Tom likes to play too!

O.K Y'all ready to meet Spud? This dog is the best dog you could ask for. He was given to us about 2 years ago and has been the best guard dog I've ever had. The people gave him away because he was too agressive with thier other male dogs he kept tearing them up. But we've had zero problems out of him since hes been here. He has fathered one litter of pups and they were beautiful, I sold them all as soon as they were old enough. There has been two times that he tore into a males calf for coming into my back yard unescorted! You don't want to go into my back yard w/o mama or daddy or get ready to pay the consequences! I can't begin to know how many prowlers or peeping toms he has warded off. I seen one of those little metal signs that that they sell at the carnavals that had a black wienie dog on it (real serios looking) and under the dog it asked "Can you reach the fence in 3.5 seconds because I can" It was so funny to me because that is Spud made over. I still regret not buying that metal sign.

I'm inspired now! The thought that this surgery might actually work for me like it has you is exciting. I was sitting here looking at your before pics wishing I was that weight right now. You look great girl!

I just shared this thread with my girl friend over here in Texas and she was craaackiiiin up! She not a bandster but now she wants to join this forum! I told you ladies that you're just too much fun. I was wondering who else has a big house, pool and jacuzzi (besides Betty) here in Texas? Suggestion for menu: Brisket and baked Beans with potatoe salad. In the manual (second page from the last) if your gonna have a get togather in Texas those are the staples of the menu! Oh yeah, Cobbler for desert! Any other suggestions or ideas ect. ect. ?

Are you kidding? I'm not unsubscribing to LBT, I said I was unsubscribing to this THREAD! Which I obviosly have not done. I love you ladies way too much for that. Hardly know you but the love is there! BTW, I thought of something I did yesterday that was physical...I raked my little front yard! I totally forgot about that until I went outside and seen the pile of leaves waiting for me to pick up. I get an overwhelming urge to do yard work this time of year. Sure feels good to see the fruits of your labor. Oh yeah does laundry, vaccuming, cooking and cleaning count? Because I do that all day long.:cool: Marie you must want a Mary Kay make over or something. I'll give you one for sure since my average sales is $125.00 per person once I do get in front of you and give you all those helpful tips to looking good! I've got next Thursday open...what time is good for you?

Hang in there, Patty will come around sooner than you think. Maybe there are other things bothering her. Or maybe she suffers from the same thing I struggle with, she thinks her man should be made of steel and show no weeknesses. The suck it up attitude tries to sneak it's way in my thoughts with Tom all the time thanks to my Dad. Tom get something like 8 weeks of vacation time every year. It seems unnatural to me for a man to stay home that much, but Tom works as little as possible. Being raised around a man that got 1-2 weeks of vacation per year it's forein territory to me to have a man at home. I have to admit it has it's benefits. It's a good thing you have the option of taking that much time off. I would be doing the same thing.

Thats it I'm unsubscribing to this thread. I hav'nt exercised one single time in weeks and I feel guilty about it when I read about all you ladies doing all this walking. You'll be able te recognize me at our next bash just look for the flabby one. Exercise is for the birds! It's for the birds I tell ya!

Then it's settled. The next LBT Bash is at Bettys house. First she wants to get all skinny on us. Thats why she's putting it off for a whole year!LOL

Over comers...trust God while others ask for answers. They step forward while everyone else prays for volunteers.

A picture is worth a thousand words...I can only hope that this little girl will remember the love you ladies showered on her this weekend. In spite of what this young lady endures through her childhood, she will come out ahead of the rest because of it! This is coming from a woman who was once that little girl. Being raised by a pack of wild animals (see my profile) hurts, BUT you learn how not to treat your children once your grown.
