Hi Everyone, Sorry I didn't post since I got back from the storm. I didn't realize. DH worked in Little Rock Mon through Fri. We drove back Sat. We only lost one small piece of siding. Really no damage around at all. We did have a tornado near my work a few days after the storm. It damaged the place where I take dance lessons, so they're cancelled for now. It didn't really rain much here, but it rained 3 straight days in Little Rock. I have a lot of post to catch up on. I'll try to come back later. Right now I have to go do some homework. I'm swamped, did about 20 suspensions today. Kids who haven't returned emergency cards. It shows you the kind of clientel I deal with. I have to suspend to get a freakin emergency card back. We've been in school for 3 freakin weeks. Lovely parents!!!! Tomorrow's gonna be hell because of course it's politically incorect for me to say.... Well @$%##$ if you did your damn job as a parent I'd have my damn card.

Hey Everyone, Gustave turned out much weaker than expected. We were truly blessed. A million people praying can actually weaken a hurricane. My neighbor stayed. I talked to her, and she said it wasn't bad at all. Nothing around me is flooded. That levee wall you saw on the news is in New Orleans. I am on the westbank of the Mississippi, New Orleans is the eastbank. The water my still be rising, I'm not sure. I still don't think we will flood, our levee is high enough. It took me 14 and 1/2 hours to get to Little Rock. It should take 7. My hubby is working up here. I don't know when we go back. I don't want to drive for 14 hours. We have to wait until they say we can return. Thanks for the prayers everyone. Happy Birthday Candice! Happy Labor Day Everyone! Happy I still have a house day, you whooooooo

Goodbye Everyone, I'm shutting down the computer. This thing looks like it's gonna be much worse for us then Katrina. I'll get back in touch sometime later. We're heading to Little Rock. The 8hr drive will probably take 16. Traffic is a nightmare. Much of lower LA is evacuating. We are on the worse side of the storm this time. Que Sara Sara However ya spell it. Looks like we're screwed!

Oh, I forgot, thank GOD I have Xanex this time. I will never let what happened for Katrina happen again. I had two old faded Xanex for Katrina, and I had massive panic attacks. Thanks for the prayers everyone.

Hi All, Taking a break from packing. I packed all my pictures. That's a job. I need to scan them all and save them on the computer. Taking all these pictures for evacuation is ridiculous. I have to start packing the clothes. We are going to Little Rock. DH has a room from his company. We will leave early tomorrow morning. DH is boarding up the windows. He has stainless steel bolts sticking out the house around the windows. His boards have been cut for about ten years. He slips them over the bolts and screws them on with a bolt. For Katrina, I had to help. Now sonny boy is actually helping. I walked outside, and DH is putting the board over the front door. Sonny is handing him the nuts. This is what I hear..... "You dropped one of my nuts Boy." Ya gotta laugh through this shit!! People are flipping out around here. An unsavory character just drove down the street in his hoopty checking out whose leaving. We don't just have to worry about damage, we have to worry about being looted. And they don't just loot, they DESTROY. You'll never hear what the crimanals did to this place on the news.

Hi Everybody, I'm just checking in. I saw some talk of scallops and that reminds me I have some in the freezer. If you're watching the news, it looks like I will have to evacuate. We will decide Sunday. I will cook some stuff in my freezer tomorrow. I have shrimp and scallops. I will remove everything from the freezer and fridge this time. OMG, I don't wanna live like this. This is a freakin nightmare. I wish I woulda sold my house after Katrina and hit the road. We're stuck here now. Even if this one misses us, there is one right behind it. If this storm hits to the west of N.O., we are screwed!!!!

Janet - Scary. Hope Andrew gets all better. Thank God it wasn't worse. Steph - So sorry about your kitty. My girl is laying next to me right now. 2weeks of school, already suspended about 6 kids. We're off to a great start. :biggrin: Karri - I've been on Tofranil for about 17yrs. My doc suggested I change cause it's old and not prescribed much anymore. I said no. If it any broke, don't fix it. I take it for panic attacks. I also notice mild OCD when under stress. I started having them when I was 27. I also won't switch because it causes no libido problems. I have been lowering my dose because I think it makes it harder to lose weight.

What the hell is the matter with the *&()&(& fonts? Anyway...... Phyl - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! I went on the Space needle website to look at the menu. Salsa - What color! Peaches - Welcome Back Steph - I think I'm gonna mix your recipe and Lynette's recipe from last July so I'm gonna use cream cheese to make the chicken salad. I'll make it tomorrow for this weeks' lunch. Me and Minnie are playing fetch right now. She's sooooo pretty. The other day I came home and she was sitting on my fireplace mantel posing just as pretty as you please. I said, "Oh, Helllll No!" I swatted her a.... and she took off, the dog took off after her. He's looking for a reason, he hates her. Very Jealous!!! Gotta go cut hubby's hair.

Thanks Steph, I'll look for the pineapple bacon but we may not have them. I bought the chicken, cheese, spinich, and I think it may have been the only flavor. We made some pineapple kabobs with them and grilled them. They were very good, but I would like to try out the other flavors.

I just posted, and it disapeared. Son of a 3 pairs of britches. Speaking of food Steph, what chicken sausage did you say you like from Sams? Does anyone know the page number Steph's chicken salad recipe is on? My secretary is a bitch. This year will be a struggle if I don't lay down the law now.

Jackie - so sorry you have to go through all that crap, I don't know what I'd do. I'm dealing with my Mom having the blood clot and can't imagine what I'd do if I had to wait for medical help. Phyl- Love your new avatar. Am I the only one having trouble changing color and font. I click on it, it clicks off, it's been doing this @!%# for over a week. I don't like this little cat and mouse game. My restriction is feeling pretty good. I hope I continue to like it.

Susan, I just peed my pants. PURPLE HEADED OMG!!!! Did you paint it with Genteel Violet? If not you might wanna get that checked. I'm laughing so hard, I may Purr.

This thread is a damn hoot. I was watching Dr. Bailey push that baby out her chicken when she told George to stop looking at her Va Jay Jay, and I heard it on Oprah a long time before that. Now for the trouser worm or one eyed monster, I think we should make a running list for both with all the names we have heard. Cooter, Muffin, Muff, Twat, Garage, Beaver, Clam, Taco, Did ya'll hear the Camel Toe song sung to the tune of The Beach Boy's Kokomo?

I forgot to tell ya'll. She had me sit up and drink with the needle still sticking out of me. Then she pulls it out while I'm sitting. It was a not nice feeling. I could feel a big thick needle tugging out of my body. Weird, horrible, feeling. O.K. I seriously need to go to bed. I forgot to go pickup my perscriptions again today. 4 days without my syntroid. I'm a butthead.

Good Evening Everyone, I had to rush to my nurse this afternoon in the pouring rain for an unfill. She was gonna leave early so I said well I could come in the morning. She said no come now I'll wait. Do it now or you'll have a miserable night. I could only swallow liquid, and it hurt to do that. I just had some potato soup and it was devine! I haven't eaten food since Sunday night, only protein drinks. I was at 8 on Monday, she put in 1, took me to 9. Today she took out .5cc. I said I'm sorry I'm so hard to please. She said Oh no you're not, I have a lady that comes in every week. I have been rushing around all day. Brought my Mom to 2 appts. this morning, suspended my first little darling. And after all this Aunt Flo has finally decided to visit. She hasn't been here since the week after my surgery 2 months ago. My doctor is across the highway from Dillards. I need school clothes, so I went look. I was looking at shirts in the plus size cause it was a RL tshirt with RL written across the front in rhinestones and thats my DH's initials. The lady asked if i needed help. I said no. She said my name is ..... if you need me, but do you need to be in plus size? Ain't dat just freakin dawling? You now this is plus size right? 11:00 and I still have to dry my hair. I don't know how I will stay awake tomorrow. :biggrin::sleep:

Steph- I happy too. I was really afraid I had a stretched pouch or something. I'm need a DVD recorder. It's almost 11, and I'm still watching the Olympics. Phelps is coming up, I ain't going no where. America is whooping ass and taking names is men's swimming. BUT I have to say I like China's uniforms the best. Their jackets are beautiful, I want one. Yellow and Orange, gorgeous!! China's men in gymnatics are unbelievable.

Hi Everyone, I'm so happy ya'll are watching the Olympics!!! I was talking about it to a few people at work and they said they don't watch them. I wait 4 years for them. If ya'll got to see the opening ceremony it was stunning. OMG!!!!! I went for a fill yesterday afternoon. I told her I still didn't feel much. She checked my level, I had 8. She said, then I'm gonna take you up to 9. She said see if you can drink the water. I said I'm gonna stay a while cause I wanna make sure. She said I don't think you're gonna go anywhere. So I went in the waiting room and drank five small glasses of water. She comes back and says if you're still drinking that water we have a problem. I said this is my 5th glass, but I want to talk to you. So I talked to her about my concerns. She said if this one doesn't work, she will order a GI. So I go home. My appointment was at 3:00. I had two Slimfast before. This morning I PBed a Slimfast, I think I drank too fast. I had 2 more protien drinks today. I tried to eat cottage cheese tonight and PBed. I just melted my medicine in hot water and PBed it. That was truly gross! I'm sure I will have to go back and get some removed. BUT, now I am very happy and relieved to know it is still working. The taste of that medicine in my mouth is repulsive.

just subscribing

I have been going every week for the past 3 weeks. Tomorrow, I will ask about an upper G.I. I have an appointment with my primary doctor on Wed. I will ask him about it if the nurse doesn't seem concerned. If I go through him my insurance will have to pay.

Hey Everybody, Linda - Loved the story, those younguns got you good. Janet - I don't suspend for self defense. You have the right to defend yourself, but if someone is breaking up the fight you better stop. My first day with the kids tomorrow, AAHHHHHHH I'm pretty sure I have a fill tomorrow. I will have to ask my principal to let me leave a little early on the 1st day of school. I still do not feel the restriction I had before the BR, and I now have 8ccs. I'm really quite worried.

Hey Everyone, For some strange reason this computer is not letting me change font or size or color. Any hoo- Janet it was just a thunder storm rolling through last night. The hurricane was just a one that hit near Houston last Tues. It formed around Mobile's coast, we just got a little rain. I made it throught the work week, the kids start school on Monday. Then the real fun begins.... One thing about my job, it sure in the hell ain't boring.

This stupid post isn't working right, so I can't change the size or color. Maybe cause it's lightening out. CONGRATULATIONS JANET!!!! FANTASTIC JOB!!! OMG, LIGHTING, I GOTTA GO......

Wanda - I got my band 7/07. It was stitched the way yours is. I was under the impression most if not all lapbands are now done this way.

We just got home from the oral surgeon. It was the first time my baby has been put to sleep so I was really nervous. They also numbed his mouth so he can't swallow his pills. I hope he doesn't wake up in too much pain. He rinsed his mouth out and seeing the blood made him pale. I went straight to get his meds after the appt. I bought a bottle of apple cider viniger and 2 drinks for DS. The lady put all 3 in one bag. I pick up the bag, it busted, the vineger fell from counter height onto my big toenail. I almost passed out. It hurts like a @#$!$@@$. I just had major filet me like a fish surgery and I felt nothing like this. I just took some meds. It's throbbing like a @#@$! Steph- I don't know how you lived through it. I may not survive this.

Wonderful news Janet !!!!!! :cool2: Peaches - Take that milky thing out and put it on a plate in the sun. If it gets up and walks away, do not drink the Isopure. My baby is getting his wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning. I'm nervous.
