    Patty, my DH has been in Fl all week playing golf, poor baby, ERRR, while I'm here dealing with work, but at least I haven't had to deal with him, LOL. He said the golf courses at Disney are awesome. Sherry, I've got to find the pictures Eileen mentioned. Beanie, smelled like skunk, I hear that's what the good stuff smells like, LMAO. Betty, have you thought about taking a job with a long commute? Cindy, you go as long as I do without a fill, though I think my time is very near. I'm just so comfortable right now, WITH EATING, which is not a good thing. I say every week I'm going to call and make an appt, but then I think of being too tight and change my mind. It's kind of like when you've been waiting for 2 weeks to get your hair cut, then the day you're suppose to go, you have the best hair day you've had in months. I forgot to mention one of the hardest parts about the girl stealing the money was I had to tell DH. I found out in October, didn't tell him until January. I was so hoping the girl would get the money from her parents, but they didn't have it. She offered me a settlement of $15,000, @ $100.00 a week, but said she'd need to KEEP her job, so she could pay me back. Duhhhh ok. Eileen, it's suppose to rain this afternoon and tomorrow, what's it doing in your neck of the woods? Doc, day 14 I was doing the mushies, actually, it was day 13, (we were having our company Cmas party). French onion Soup, OMG, it was soooo good. Ladies, I'm getting a facial today, yep one of those high dollar, high pressure salt spray treatments, my skin will probably fall off. I have really sensitive skin, so I may just have a regular facial once I get there. They're having a special 2 for 1 so my friend is going and we're splitting the $80.00. Then she's gonna put this "mineral" type makeup on me. It's suppose to be similar to that bare minerals make up they advertise on tv, anybody use it? I've got to stop drinking so much coffee and talking my head off.. Have a safe day LB friends.

    Wow, two days and I've missed so much. This working stuff is interfering with my LBT family. First of all, let me kick some Ash here, ladies, what are you thinking? No "ladies" exam for 2-5 years, helllllllooo. It's important to get those boobs and booty checked every year. Don't put it off, the life you save may be yours! Thanks for all the well wishes for a new hireeeeee. I forgot to mention that 2 years ago I had a girl working for me and she embezzled more than $40,000.00 from me. We were in the process of building our house and I did all my banking online, so I was constantly transferring money from one account to the other. I was in and out of the office, checking on the house as it was under construction, picking out appliances, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, carpet......etc, well she got comfortable with MY schedule and hit me hard. I had no idea until one of my tenants called and wanted to know why I had not cashed her rent check for February and it was October. So I started checking my bank account along with my banker, and OMG, she was hitting 6 of my rental accounts every month for almost 2 years, AND she was cashing my husbands paychecks instead of depositing them. I would let her leave early on Fridays to go to the bank and cash her check and then she would "volunteer" to drop off my weekly deposits, NO WONDER. She would fill out the deposit tickets, then take a spare deposit ticket with her and then before she went into the bank she would do a new ticket. It was devastating, this girl was like a family member AND she rented a house from me. She was even stealing her husbands checks he had written to me for the rent. To make a long story short, she spent 6 months in jail and has to pay me back @ $250.00 per month, pretty much for ever, LOL, plus her income tax return every year. She is now in default, it's been 4 months since my last check, hopefully they'll be pulling her parole. Ok enough feeling sorry for Pat night. My ad for help wanted starts Sunday, so Monday it will be interviews all day. Beanie, I don't travel very much because I've seen too many 20/20, Dateline specials on all the germs in a hotel room, LOL. When I do travel, I take my own pillows, I use one of those bags that sucks the air out so it will fit in my suit case, I usually take a $5.00 pillow, then when I leave, I just leave the pillow there. I probably use a 1/2 can of Lysol, I spray the light switches, tv remote, phone, bath fixtures, knobs, you name it I spray it. I also call and have a new comforter delivered, I tell them mine has a funny smell, It works, then the bring me a clean one. Zan, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom, good luck getting her to stop smoking. Maybe she'll do it for the grandkids. Boy I've been chatty, gnite everyone.

    Actually, @ 185, I'm surprised you meet the 40 BMI, usually required to have the band. I have not found the band to be a quick weight loss, although, I think the more you have to lose the faster you lose if that makes sense. Good Luck.

    Can you eat cereal on the band?

    I've done Cheerios and my mom eats cereal all the time.

    Bummerrrrr! One of my girls in the office walked out yesterday, which means, I have to go to work every day, at least until I get someone new. That's the worst part, interviewing people, I hate it, just hate it! You wouldn't believe how many people I hire and fire during an interview, LOL. I'll be talking to someone and asking a few questions, getting a good feel, then they start talking and talking and talking. They start telling me they know somebody I know or someone who worked for me, or a friend of a friend,ERRR, just what I want to hear, you know what that means, the next time they're out having a cocktail or dinner with this "friend", my personal business will be the topic of discussion, NOT. I prefer hiring people who do not know me or anyone who knows me, that way if they're filing my bank statements or happen to see my deposits or if they get disgruntled, ewww, it's just a trying time right now, thanks for letting me vent. Anyway, Rene, I know you were kidding, but me in leathers, LMAO, you wouldn't want to even imagine. Eileen, congratulations on the exercising, I'm proud of ya. Cindy, and anyone else who wants to play, I'll fire up the jetskis and we'll play on those a while,then head to the beach. Just pick a day or weekend, Eileen, you're definately close enough to participate. Ok, gotta go to work now...later.

    Turtles and Thyroids

    Check out this wild idea from Web Journal; New 'Thyroid Speed' Too Risk Says Hollywod Docs - Celebrities Like Opr... "Celebrities Flock to "Thyroid Speed" For Rapid Weight Loss - Docs Say Too Risky" Guess which mouse is on "Thyroid Speed"? Move over gastric bypass, who wants the scars, lap bands and stomach balloons, no way! Re-programming your thyroid to produce more T-3 cells that rapid process fat seems to be the latest in a long line of new rapid weight loss methods for the dieter who just doesn't want to diet anymore. Those who can afford a new $100 a month habit can opt for the easy way out. Though thyroid manipulation seems to be just the ticket for the rich and famous doctors say proceed with caution, or your liver could pay the price. The National Institutes of Health warn that your thyroid is a extremely sensitive gland. “New designer supplements seem to dramatically decrease appetite leading to un-natural weight loss that left unmanaged could be dangerous" Doctor warned that anyone that loses weight so quickly could face complications and must supplement their diet with a good Multivitamin, take in plenty of Fiber (at least 25 grams per day) Another must is above average intake of fluids, especially Water to avoid liver problems as it works overtime to process fat out of your body. As for the makers of the first claimed "Thyroid Stimulator" business couldn't be better. Spokesmen for Selmedica Healthcare said that demand for their trademark product Alvidar is out pacing production and they expects price increases any day. “Alvidar sales are crazy, up almost 1800% since all the press articles and celebrity use ...and our customers couldn't be more thrilled with the results they are seeing we are expecting a great year” Just remember if you decide to use a thyroid supplement to take heed to the doctors warnings above and only use as directed.

    Banded Bikers?

    This is another one of our bikes, it's a 66 servie car. Has the side shifter and REVERSE. Even though it's been restored, it sounds like it's going to fall apart when you ride it.

    Ok gang, I don't know where this biker babe outfit started, but I can assure you there is not now or ever will be a biker babe outfit for this Nana, LMAO. I can't, well before I wouldn't have even tried to get a pair of leathers on my ash, although, now I might be able to do that, hmmmm, I guess never say never, LOL. Zan, I've got a funny story about the train, only in my sons case it was the bus. He went to Atlantic City with my nephew, then they got separated and he ended in New York and was to catch a bus to Toms River, NJ, well he got drunk and missed catching the bus. He waited around the terminal until the next bus came. Well, he got on the bus and he kept trying to stay awake, and kept dosing off. Then my nephew called him and was talking to him, and he told him he was trying to figure out how many stops before Toms River. The guy in front of him overheard him talking and turned around and told him they'd passed Toms River about 3 stops ago, needless to say I could go on, but what a weekend. Sorry about the high BP Patty, I'm glad they're gonna try to work things out for you. I guess they know how hard it is to find good help. Eileen, I know what you mean about being bummed about those dang scales. Talk about being in a slump, :angry :help: Sherry, get the Magic Bullet, it's the bomb girl. I use mine every day in the summer and at least 3 times a week in the winter. Betty, you still working, stop in here every now and again. What y'll think of the "journal" section Alex added? He's a really neat guy to do all of this for us, the least we could do is be a loser, well you know what I mean.
  12. I was my surgeon's first band too. I got two surgeons for the price of one though, because he had a proctor assisting.

    restless leg syndrome

    I take a quarter of a tablet if I even think I'm going to have a RL night. I will try to avoid taking the pills if at all possible. If I've eaten late or had something sweet before bed time I don't waste my time, I go ahead and take the 1/4 tablet. I hate taking meds, but it sure beats that awful, awful, can't get your legs/feet situated mode.
  16. I've started wearing jeans, I've got 5 pair, I use to only own 2 pair at a time. I like t shirts too, but I hate it when the puppies show through.

    Whats your favorite?????

    No protein shakes for me, I hate milk.
  19. Easy does it, it's good you're doing liquids for a few days. Take your time eating, I know it can be frustrating, but you'll learn, believe me you'll learn.

    Congratulations Doc, glad to hear you're mending so well, don't over do it. Thanks for the nice compliments about my Virginia "ranch". Too bad we couldn't afford to live on the water until we were 50, it's been a great experience the last 3 years. Watching the ducks and geese, while I talk to my LB friends. My family and I love to crab and fish, that's why I have very little time for the Harley anymore. Gee tough decision, jet-ski or Harley, LOL, and ladies, you get the best tan gliding across the water on the jet-ski. So, y'all come on to Virginia and we'll play! Betty, it's a river. Eileen I always feel like I got a meal to go when I eat those fancy soups. Beanie, I want to go, I love NY, but haven't been in 25 years, the people I know who could afford to go won't go, the ones who can't afford it, would love to go with me. Cindy, your pink eye(s) gone? I still can't figure out why your puter wouldn't read my pictures and attachments, maybe it's because I use Incredimail, ya think? I want to do EBAY and get in on the hugs. Anne, I like the chocolate/peanut bars, you're right the Zones are the only high protein bar I've tried that doesn't taste like paper. Duh, I mean Sherry, LMAO, you're so funny! Later gang, gnite.

    My thigh/calf lift experience

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience. The inner thigh is where I have loose skin, ERRR. I've thought often about having the surgery, but I was really a chicken, but now I may consider it. I had a mini tummy tuck years ago, talk about a waste of good money, I needed a full tuck, so the doctor got me on that one. I even told him if the mini would not do the job, don't waste my money that I'd pay the difference. I guess he figured he's get the second time too, NOT. I also had lipro on the midriff, $800 alone, 15 years ago, also just below the waist on the sides, who was the dummy that said once you have it done the fat doesn't come back, WRONG. The worst part was wearing that girdle for 4-6 weeks. I'm allergic to lycra, I thought I'd itch to death. Take care and don't over do it.

    Good Morning All, Patty, No, I don't have a ranch, LOL, I was teasing Texas Cindy and referred to my home as a Virginia "ranch". When we need extensive yard work done, we have some of the laborers come here and do it, so when they turn in their time, they say they worked on the ranch. It's six acres, so here in my little county it's like a ranch. Sherry, I was putting shelf paper/plastic down at my sons new home, in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers. So, when Elaine replied, she did a play on the workd "drawers", and told me I could line hers, so that's where the fabric idea came from, I think that's how it went. Anyway, if you refer back a couple of pages, you'll see where it was a joke. Sorry for the confusion, and NO, I don't sew or cook, but I do a pretty good job of lining drawers, LMAO. Had the 2yr old spend the night last night so mom and dad could break in the new house, hehehe. Cindy, you've got a crazy computer system. The program I used to forward the first time was Picasa and then I used Photo Explosion, but I think I already told you that in your email, (CRS again).
