  1. I clicked on this thread and went fix myself a drink before I read it. I am drinking half a fruit punch mixed with cherry limeaid drink mix from Wal-Mart. I think the bullets are gross alone. I have a question: I only drink 1/2 a bullet a day. Should I put the other half in the fridge, or just leave it out? I have been putting it in the fridge cause I don't know.

    I would love to go to Vegas. I have been longing to go for several years now. Today: 5 fights, 3 minor assaults, and 26 referrals Just got a call from the security guard at the hospital down the road. He called the cops on my son and his friend cause they were running around the parking garage. They ran from him, so he called the cops. He said they have been having break ins in the cars, so he called the cops cause they ran. DS thought it was cool to upset Barney and run away. Now hopefully he's shitting bricks. The cop pulled my DH on the side and told him if he wouldn't have just came he was gonna take them in cause he didn't like DS's friends attitude. We really live in a different world here. So much crime, nothing for kids to do. Everyone around goes to different schools because you can't put your kid in a public school. I feel sorry for DS because he has no one around. Now I don't want him around this kid. We shoulda moved a long time ago. Too late now.

    Karri- Glad you're feeling better! Phyl- I got the consumer reports best buy for top loader. I had a stadard issue Kenmore with two cycles, permanent press or cotton. I now have 23 cycles. It's blowing my mind. I washed my towels on cotton, heavy. They were all twisted into ropes when done. So I guess that cycle is too rough. I have some learning to do. DH rigged the door so we could keep it open and watch. It stops as soon as you open the lid.

    Hey Everybody, Cals today very good until I got to the bar. Then...... like Phyl says.... there was this Vodka......and..... Well I felt the need, NEED, to drink. I wasn't wasting cals. on fancy drinks so I downed the vodka straight. Lemon drops, you dip a lemon in sugar, down the vodka, then bite the lemon. Did you know that Vodka taste exactly like rubbing alcohol? Yuck! Cals today not too good, not horrendous, but not too good. OMG, I just glanced at the TV, which I am not watching, and Tom Cruise sliced someones head open straight down the front. DH's kind of movie, YUCK!

You're saying we can actually be walking whisky gins in heels. Hot Damn I'm In. Me and DD just got back from seeing Celine Dion. She was fantastic, the show was beautiful. My DD worships the ground she walks on. Always has

    Candice if your economy is looking anything like ours I said it's best to keep quiet. Which of course is an impossibility for me. I can't keep my damn mouth shut. I learn my lesson over and over and over and over .......... Wanna Laugh? Check out this site I posted on. My response was pretty funny, but that is NOT what's really funny. You have got to read the serious responses to my posts. Ever time I read a new one, I can't breathe I laugh so hard. I'm gonna half to put on my Mama's depends. People ARE SCARY!! These are the kind of people that the directions are written on a can of corn for. Open before cooking. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f178/self-fill-you-doing-85154/
  16. Oh definitely, you'd love it. I swear when I haven't eaten in awhile I can taste the rum sauce. However, Margarita might be a little too acidic. You've got to be really careful with this. I mean hell this band cost me 15 thousand dollars, I'm not crazy. Strawberry Daquiri might be better. Don't do frozen thou, that would hurt. Ann- Holiday Hotties is a great name
  17. I use my meat injector to self fill all the time. I fill it when I need to and unfill it when I wanna party. Whaooo I fill it with whatever I have on hand. In Nov. I had the garlic butter sauce for the turkey, so I just went ahead and used it. Why waste? First I rub an ice cube on my port area, then I rub some oragel on it. Then I let my hubby inject me cause I just can't do it myself. I do admit the needle is way big. One time I actually had to give myself one stitch to close the hole on my tummy. I used some dental floss. The tip of needle the doctor uses for fills is bent. I did have to take the meat injector needle and bend it before I used it. I took it outside and pushed it down on the cement till it bent. This self fill method is really working for me. For Christmas I filled it with rum sauce from my bread pudding.

    Steph the two weeks before Christmas I was doing so good. I was finally losing weight again. I gained it all back for Christmas. Sweets! I ain't gonna lie, I was sugar crazy, plus I partied and drank several times. I did liquids Tues and Wed. Today I had a can of tuna for lunch and PBed. Liquids really tightened me up. I was eating a lot before the two days of liquids. I felt I really needed a fill. Then I do liquids and I feel tight. The tightest level has really been hard for me. Sometimes I feel I need a fill. Then I feel tight. Then I need a fill. Then....... This is really hard for me. I did liquids and I was starving. The only time I lose weight is if I stay under 1000 cal. and it's really hard. I'm hungry, no matter how tight I am. I think I could use a fill, but I'm afraid if I'm too tight something will go wrong. This weight loss thing is really hard. Without the LapBand it was an impossibility. With it, it's possible but it's still a lot of work and will be for the rest of our lives. High calorie foods will always taste the best, be the easiest to get, and the easiest to get down. I wish I wouldn't have told anyone about the Lapband. They really think this was some easy fix. Anyone who thinks eating under 1000 cals. a day and exercising is any easy fix needs to easily get my foot outta dey a....

    Hi Everybody, Janet - My Mom is not allowed to hoard in my house. Last year my neice brought her an Avon catalog. She bought stuff, the first time I let it go. I was p.o. ed. The second catalog, she does it again. She spent 150.00 that time, Curves sandels, watch, jewelry, lotions, makeup. She doesn't go anywhere. Doesn't walk except to the bathroom. I threw a fit. You will not fill my house with garbage. I made her call my neice and tell her she could not buy Avon. They know my Mother, they did it on purpose. They knew she'd buy like a fiend. My sister was the one selling the Avon. The sister that my Mother raised her kids and she does not talk to my mother and she lives in the free house that my parents gave her. Anyhoo, I got a Young n the Restless family. You can't imagine. I have been cleaning her house for at least 30 years. I clean, she freaks, "yeah a clean spot to fill with junk." You should see the Christmas dollar store crap I'm gonna have to get rid of. She has a minimum of 20 nativity scenes. I have a whole container of Rosaries,over 50. Mentally, she's getting pretty bad. Askes me what day it is every time she sees me. I mark it on the calender right wear she sits. I have to fix her food for the day every morning before I go to work. I put a lock on the pantry, because she will eat sugar, carbs all day. She ate herself into Diabetes. My family is really not happy with the situation. It is very, very hard to say the least. I was typing after 4. I went to sleep at around 5. I woke up close to 8. IT WAS GREAT. I am now typing and it's 8:38. I hope to be back in bed before 11. That rarely happens. Night owl, work at 6:45 is a major problem. Candice - The fabric went to another niece of the same parent. My Mom raised her. Benefiting from her would be as likely as monkeys flying out of my a..... She told my mother she would bring her kids on the Monday after Christmas. The presents my Mom insisted I go get on Christmas eve because they were coming are still sitting under the tree. I went shopping at Wal-Greens on Christmas Eve, I have never done that in my life. People were walking around buying for their mothers, it was sad. Donna- My DD got my DH hooked on that. He gets his at Wal-Mart. I don't know what brand. He loves em. I eat a few. I think ya'll can see between my nightmare job and taking care of an aging mother ALONE when she has 5 children is not easy. If I didn't have a wonderful family, I would lose it. Do ya'll remember that country song, "I get to come home to you."? That is how I survive. AND TALKING TO YOU GUYS TRULY HELPS TOO! I LOVE YOU GUYS! AHHHH SHIT now I'm crying again. Phyl had me crying yesterday. I definitely think I'm PMSing. My teeth were hurting yesterday, that's my number one sign that Aunties in the car on the way over. Actually I'm hoping it's PMS because I fear losing it.

    Candice - Too bad your so far away, and I just found out you sew. I have been cleaning my Mom's house out for years now. YEARS! She was a hoarder, she's lives with me now. Anyway, her major hoard stash was material, patterns, thread, and any notion she could get her hands on. I had a minimum of 20 carpenter bags full of fabric, plus 8 to 10 boxes. It was horrifying. My neice took all of it about 1 month ago. I had no clue what to do with it. I can't stay awake, I'm going take a nap.

    80 year old I would definitely just let it go. She's got bats in the bell free. A few fries short of a happy meal A few feathers short of a head band The lights are on.... The elevator doesn't...... Coo coo for cocoa puffs John Travolata story on the tv right now. It is so so sad. I love him, and having been thinking of him and praying for him and family.
  22. This is just what I know about yeast, I'm not claiming I'm right. We have good bacteria in our body. Yeast infections happen when the good bacteria is killed off like when you take antibiotics. The drugs kill the bad bac. but they also kill the good bac. You can get the good bac. by taking, I think it's called probiotics like acidobacillus (sp?) Yeast flourish on sugar. Too much sugar can cause yeast problems. You can have yeast problems all over your body not just the nether regions. I was searching on the web awhile back about ridding the body of yeast because my digestion just wasn't right. I know that Atkins program talks about yeast overload in the body. I remember when my sister was having problems the dr told her to make sure her soap had no perfumes. Good Luck, I know your miserable, been there

    Okay... this is already way too long... but I have to tell you about this horrible experience I had today. Well, I guess it wasn't exactly horrible so much as hurtful! I was in the hot tub with this lady from my water aerobics class when she says, "I probably shouldn't say this, but....." and I knew she was going to make some comment about my legs. My fat, ugly, grotesque legs...! So she asks me if, when I lose my weight, I'm going to have surgery on my legs. This same lady, when she found out I'd lost almost 100 lb a month or so ago said, "Oh, that's why you have all that extra skin on your legs!" So this lady is not exactly subtle! Then she says, "Now don't let this keep you from coming to the pool!" Geez! So I came home all depressed and cried on Earl's shoulder for a while. I already hate my legs... it's a sensitive subject and I don't need stupid old ladies making rude comments! Okay... I got that off my chest!! :thumbup::cursing::cursing::cool: Ok Phyl I read it again, she knew exactly what she was doing and was deliberately being rude. She opened with, "I shouldn't say this, and ended with don't let this keep you out the pool." That nasty heffer knew she was being hateful. I agree with Janet even thou I couldn't do it. I let people walk all over me. It takes A LOT of pissed off to get me to confront someone, then I just tell em off like I'm crazy. I just don't know what I would do.I wouldn't want her to know that her comment hurt me. Mean people enjoy knowing they hurt you. Just know a Bitch is always a Bitch. If she was that rude to you, she's P.O.ed others. She probably has few if any friends. Drink a 6 pack, sit next to her in the pool, and pee with a lovely smile on your face.

    Phyl - You want me to beat that hateful B@#$@ up? Seriously, wait, I gotta throw kitty's toy. She keeps shoving it at me. O.K. some people having no regulation on what is appropriate to say. They blurt out whatever they are thinking. It's like they have mild autism. They function, yet they are socially inept. Kitty's back. My own Mom often said inappropriate things to people. Not that bad, but rude things she should not say. She was in no way trying to be rude and had no clue she was. Do not let someone steal your happiness. Earl loves you, your family loves you, and we love you just the way you are. When I use to say I hate my legs because they're fat when I was young my Daddy would say, "They work don't they, you should be happy you have legs." You can handle this two ways 1. Let it roll off your back, don't worry be happy. She ain't right in the head. 2. When she gets in the hot tub with you, look her straight in the eye and say, "Can you tell how my legs look under water?" Then grab the back of her head and shove the @#!$% under. Choosing #2 may bring unwanted consequences.

    This site is not blocked at school, but facebook is. I don't have time to check anyway. It has become so overwhelming at work that sometimes I can't make decisions on what to do. About 1 month ago, I started having this problem. It's scaring me. Within a 10 minute time span at least five things will pop up that I have to attend to. This happens continually everyday, and I just can't take it anymore. This job can not be done by one person, it is impossible. I saw a principal I know about 1 month ago, and she told me that she heard I was getting assist. prin. at a school. She told me who told her. It was heresay, but it came from someone high up. I didn't get it. I was hoping I would get it when the new semester starts. I checked the school's website, and someone else got it. Now I am getting through the day by hoping I get something better. I really don't know how I can take this job till the end of the year. I'm trying to not let it get to me by continually saying I'm doing the best I can. I get 10 or more referrals from teachers a day that I do not even get to because it is none stop problems all day everyday. I spent the day getting statements about the fight we had the last day before Christmas, plus a minor assault today, plus investigate a theft, plus suspend 2 others, plus call parents, plus a parent conference, plus duty, oh and I got to go pee twice. O.k I'm finished On to what matters, I joined Curves yesterday. I worked out yesterday and today. I like it. Calories today and yesterday very, very good.
