Becky So glad that you could eat a real meal !! Congrats on the scale moving - you are doing very well 66.5 lbs that's fantastic - Be proud girl:thumbup: I get or did get sea sick- My 1st cruise little 4 dayer to Mexico Pacific Ocean in Dec 93 - Calm seas no problem then next cruise April 94 w/my DSis - Western Caribeean no problems it's considered the atlantic ocean but I call it the caribeean sea (part of the ocean that hits texas coast to canun) - then next cruise with DH in 96 Eastern Caribeean - Got sea sick (got a shot was fine)- then in 97 Southern Caribeean got sea sick (norweign didn't have shots they just gave you pills - i slept that cruise) then 98 gf did western caribeean again and had no problems - 05 took the family did eastern took dramabean before we got on ship then for a day after we were on ship then stopped and never had a problem but again calm seas- even though it was the easterb section of the atlanic that I got sick before - so I am ok if we have calm seas but 15 ft swells get to me... But I still love crusing..

IMHO I really believe the majority of all our problems with weight is in our heads Ok Hugs Girls - I am so sorry that you guys are struggling so - You both are under stress and that doesn't help. I notice when I joined Insurance Women and went to a convention that there were a lot of obese insurance women - and I really contribute it to the stress - Candice - I have never been to OA but I think it's like AA or Na - but just about our drug of choice food - I am proud of you for making that call - let us know how it goes. Karri - Stay out of that other room :0) where you get the junk - I wish I could help you find the balance that you need to be there for you kids and for you too.. Well, after reading how much the 2 of you are struggling - I had not been to the gym since a week ago Monday- Wed didn't go cuz I was sick - didn't go Saturday over slept - didn't go Yesterday - and really didn't want to go today - but I just said - Janet you have already missed 3 workouts - YOU CAN NOT MISS ANOTHER ONE... So I went - this is such a slipper slope - it's soo easy to slip back into old ways - we just have to really stay on top of it. I went to the store after gym to get Andrew OJ cuz he's sick well I was starving - had a sample bratworst 2 small chunks and 1 1/2 cracker with a dab of cheese - but I wanted cheeto puffs - but I know I can't eat them cuz I can't have a portion - I have to eat til there gone - so I just don't buy I don't go to the other side of the office when they have donuts - and if they are still in there at lunch I just cover them up and put them at the other side of the table.. I like them but I guess they really aren't a super danger food for me... Phyl - Did Linda leave - I figured she did cuz she never called.. How was water exercise this morning.. Well, need to get Andrew's dinner started - will check back in a few...

Good Evening Gang It's been quite here today... Went to the gym today did my 3 miles - now waiting for fish to defrost. so I can cook... Last night had a bbq chicken salad at the tram - really just ate the chicken and bagged up the rest - but then forgot it in the car when I got home last night - cuz I had to stop at the store to get GS some niquil cuz he's sick... How is everyone doing - I'm feeling better - my cold or allergies whatever the heck it is - is almost gone I felt pretty good today - can't wait to get use to the time change... Well going to ck my lucky #7 thread - will check back in a bit..

Charlene Glad they got him - between our towns growing - drugs and reccession - and the I want it now generation - all of our towns cities are all going to hell in a hand basket :biggrin: I love crusing too - imho it's the best way to go on vacation - entertainment - fine dinning - great service all for one price and you don't have to go looking for something to do.. It's all in one place - I think you get the most bang for your vacation buck with cruises..

Long Congrats on your 3 lbs - and I totally agree that you should strive for a normal BMI - It's so doable !! My goal still had me above normal - but I just keep eating healthy and exercising and that got me to 138 - which I feel is a happy weight (a weight that you can maintain without starving yourself) No Charlene - I haven't left (3/22 Cruise) I was gone yesterday afternoon - meeting Linda (another #7 who lives in WI but was in LA to visit DS and she came down to the Desert to see me & phyl) - We went Palm Springs walked around shopped a little (BECKY I GOT 2 OF THOSE T-SHIRTS FROM CHICO'S - SIZE 1) then went to the Palm Springs Aerial Tram for dinner.. Got home around 10ish - and my GS is sick - Here's a picture .. BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Glad you had a good day... Yes baby your baby - that's what Mommies do :0) I thought Texas Rangers always get their man - then need Chuck - Walker Texas Ranger Burgygirl - Glad your fill went fine - hope it helps - but remember - your band doesn't make your food choices BJLowe Ok get the darn chips and junk out of the house now - throw the crap away - if you can't control it - then you can't have it - Plan and simple - Remember food is our drug of choice and there are some things that we don't have control over - so if I just can't have 1 serving of whatever it is - cuz it taste too good and I just want to continue to eat it - it's not in my house period. I have foods that I have no control over Say theres a cake or brownie or homemade choc chip Cookies sitting on a plate in my kitchen - I would eat it til it was all gone then I would be kicking myself in the butt - Since I know this is the case with these types of foods they aren't in my house - I am aware - I stay concise about food 24/7 - We have to be vigilant at all time we can't let our guard down - cuz if we do look what happpens - before you know it all the chip/dip was gone and now you are kicking yourself in the butt... Penance - extra exercise !!! :biggrin: This whole thing that something marjor has to be wrong in our lives that causes to over eat is partly bs imho - Sometime we eat just cuz it taste good - So next time you want chips/dip - buy a lunch size bag of chips and those little container of sour cream and have a planned treat. That way you can't eat the whole pint of sour cream and family size bag of chips. Thats how I handle those situations - 99% of the time - and if I have totally blown it then I get to the gym a couple more time that week. So - pull up those bootstraps - and move forward - you can't change the past it's done and overwith - all you can do is focus on the here and now - and say to yourself - Ok I had my indulgance - so now I will get back to my healthy eating - Now I know I can't control it - so I won't buy it anymore. As to food tasting good enough to go back to where you were - HELL NO... Ya it taste good and yes I miss pigging out and eating chips/dip - cookie - fatty foods - but I feel to damn good about myself - I have so much more energy - that no it doesn't taste good enough to going back to sleeping my life away and having no qualitily of life do to being obese... Nope Holly you all have me for 2 more weeks Congrats on being able to button up that blouse - I know how good that made you feel - and GF it just keeps getting better and better - so keep up the good work and you will see how much better it gets Ok gang sorry for my lateness this morning - but had a few fires to put out on my desk - didn't get home til after 10 and I am still adjusting to this time change. Had a really good time - it was good to see Linda again (hadden seen her since last July) and got to meet her DH Here's a picture - it's small but I scanned my 4x6 and can't make it any bigger Left to Right Linda's DH, Linda - Me - Phyl & Phyl's DH Linda has loss 115 lbs - Me 112- and Phyl has lost 109 so between just the 3 of us we have lost 336 lbs - when you add the 2 other #7 who have lost 100+ that's about 536 between 5 pple- we have 5 of us lucky #7 who can say we have lost 100+ lbs

Steph I think he's ok- but if I were going to Mex I would use Wasabubblebutts doc - Dr Aceves.. You only need a passport right now if you fly to mexcio - if you drive or go on a cruise (like me) birth certificate will suffice - they keep pushing back the deadline..

I haven't read the post yet - will go back and do that in a few - but wanted to post pic - of Linda/Phyl/Me (and DH'S) 1st thing - Lets see how it turns out. We had a great time visiting with Linda & her DH - Hopefully they stay another day :0) It doesn't look like it's coming over very large...

Phyl - Angel will take about a month I guess - bear isn't bad - it' my angel baby with her skinny legs and fat body (mommy's fault) and big top knot.. When are they (time warner going to fix you ) Hugs about your Uncle sorry to hear - will give you real hug in a little bit.. Steph - No it wasn't TMI - Yes I wanted the whole scoop do i yell at you about snowmobiling - what are you doing crashing putting your back at risk - I know you are young - but still if you have a bad back you gotta be careful - can't help it it's the Mom in me.... Donna - I have played a bit - will try again - I just wasn't on the computer much this weekend - I am parking wars - pathword (can't beat Steph she must have a dicinoary in her head) possum toss... and LBT - only so many hours in a day.. Glad to hear your not in Jail Ok I gotta get to work - leaving at noon to meet up with Phyl & Linda !!!! Got my camera - so we will post pics..

Rose Thanks :0) Congrats on 3 lbs - that's good - it's losing and thats what matters and in the end - it all adds up .. During my weight loss phase I really only did weigh in on Thrusday mornings. I did that get on the scale ten times a day - but it was too frustrating... up 2 down 1 - down 3 up 1 - so one day a week - Now a days during my maintence I will jump on every couple of days - one day it will say 139 - one day 137 next 138.5 - so for me as long as I am in the 130 # I am happy even 140 doesn't bug me but above that - I then really watch what I am eating Julie glad your baptism went off with out a hitch.. I am not against real butter or real sugar (i eat both occiassionaly) - anything real or artifical in moderation is ok - A planed treat is great - it's when you are not following a healthy lifestyle in your eating that I'm talking about - If you want to lose the weight you are going to have to watch what you eat and Sharon is struggleing on her food choices - and that's what I was talking to.. Why are you putting butter on your popcorn - We have to make change in our eating - I read an artical last night written by a 75 yr old lady - who has struggled her whole life with weight - I am going to have to get the artical - to speciaficaly quote what she said - but this the general drift "We act like children and not responsible adults when it comes to our food choices" A child doesn't know that having half a stick of butter on your popcorn isn't healthy - but as a grown up we know it's not good for us - again I am not talking about small induglences - Burgygirl - Congrats on your 2 lbs - WTG Exercise is really about the intensity of your workout.. Apples - Glad the benefit went well - 4:30 in the morn !!! well I guess I did it in Vegas - so ya us Old Broads can do it every now and then :0) But I know I don't have half of your energy... Lucky Girl... Glad you are going to Vegas to surpise your friend - that will be so much fun... Becky- I had my kitchen at my old house remodled like the week after GS was born - we were making bottles in the microwave that was in the living room... You should have added some veggies to your pork roast .. I had a craving for lamb yesterday - so I went to costco bought a leg of lamb - came home cut up red potatoes onion carrots and stuck it in the oven - OMW what a great dinner I had - will have enought for lunch the rest of the week.. Becky - I will take my EQ's over your Tornados any day - how scary... Linda - That's the ticket - Planned... That's life and we have to live it and that will include - cheesecake - ice cream - lobster & butter - or crab & butter - the diff is that we aren't doing every day 10 x a day... The diff is now the next day we get back to eating healthy.. I don't leave until 3/22 - and who know's I may jump online while we are at sea - depending on the cost :0) And I am sure that between Apples & Phyl and all of you you will be just fine for a week without me - and I want you all to rely on each other during that week ok.. Joann - I love your quilts they are works of art !!!! I know most of us are on the 50's thread and have seen your quilts but for those who aren't you should post pic here too.. Good morning gang - I am only working 1/2 day today then meeting one of my Lucky # 7 banders from Wisconsin - along with Phyl - we are getting together this afternoon then going up to the Tram for ride and dine (goole Palm Springs Aerial Tram) so I doubt I will be back on computer tonite

Steph Glad you are feeling better - when do you go back to the doc about your back- having surger is this from your last snowmobile accident... Candice Yep will see Linda Monday.... I will give her a hug for you... Well not much going on here yesterday I see - I cleaned my closet - bath & bed room Took the dogs to the groom - my girl either quit or got fired and the guy who did them was terrible - angel looks like shit - bear not that bad - but angel - ended up getting the price of angels grooming refunded...

Here's the link for instructions to get a ticker http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f5/ticker-tutorial-pictures-41782/

Welcome Chalia - Congrats on your date - Yep I remember well the day I got my date - I wanted to shout it from the roof tops.. No invitation needed to join our little group - everyone is welcome... Sharon - Hugs girl friend - you are stressed too much to do - don't know where to start - I'm that way - Some days I just don't know what to do with myself - Before - I would just eat and veg period now I feel that I need to be doing something productive and not veg- I need to move - do something - Not everyone gets tight flying - Apples does but I haven't - Hopefully you won't Your eatting habits - well as you know your band doesn't make your food choices you do - Real butter - Why??? I use I can't believe its butter spray - or butter pam spray.. I need the taste of butter too - but I don't do the real stuff.. That kind of thing is all up to you and you just have to understand that - that butter is going to kill you - ya you are stressed but eating or should I say rewarding yourself with real butter isn't going to make you feel better - all it's going to do is start the vicouse cycle that we have all been on during all our years of dieting - Remember this isn't a diet - its a new way of llife a healthy lifestyle - and real butter isn't healthy... Question - Why are you putting so much pressure on yourself with this studying going to school - are you looking for another job - will it get you a pay raise in your current job - are you doing this for self improvment? You aren't allowing anytime for you... This is why you are choosing the wrong foods - it's you - doing something for yourself - this is all our problem - We all do do do for other (work family etc) and eating is something we do for us... This is where you have to find a balance in your life. You need to sit down with yourself and have a long talk... You need to find balance - you need to find time for you.. You need to get out of the house - you need to do more than work and study 24/7.. I understand the not wanting to get of of the house - you just don't have the energy to get dressed makeup hair all that stuff you have to do to go out. Cuz you do it all week long - you are tired - know what i do on those days (yesterday was one of those days for me) I find a project like cleaning my closet - cleaning my bed & bathroom - I go slow - take my time and just putter around the house - I don't sit in front of the t.v & eat.. Welcome Burgygirl The average weight loss is 1 to 2 lbs a week so in 8 weeks you have done better than average ( 32 lbs /8 that 4 lbs a week) We all think the lbs are just going to dissappear over night but it doesn't work that way - you have to have patience - this is a life time change in your eating - this is what you are going to do for the rest of your life - so just take it one day at a time - eat healthy - exercise and you will succeed Hey Becky - Yep I have 3 of those tops from Chico's - Congrats on your 2 at Chico's - I wear 2's (medium) tops from there but can't do their pants - a 0 is a 6 and that's their smallest size - hate it but love it at the same time cuz they have cute pants.. Glad you got your chicken down - yes slow and tiny bites.. Julie hope you have a good day today at your church and you don't have to bring the leftovers home give them away.. Yesterday woke up late 7:30 and fur babies had appointment with groomer at 9 so that didn't give me enought time to go exercise - (I have to have coffee in the morning to wake up and I don't do anything if I have to rush - I hate rushing) This is the balance I have in my life - this is my life and I do with it as I please Dropped the dogs off at 9 - and the girl who normally grooms them either quit or got fired - normally it 3 hours at the groomer - well guess what yesterday was 6 !!! and the guy did a horrible job - I mean horrible - Angel looks awful - bear is a little uneven but not as bad as Angel - I was pissed... Ended up getting cost of Angel's bill (39) refunded.. Then I went to target got cleaning stuff - came home cleaned out my closet (yes I do that alot) put winter stuff away and re-orginized - do you know what - I have way too many jean capris - I wont need anymore this summer. Changed my sheets - cleaned the bathroom and just puttered around the house.. Today - will finish up my wash - should Iron - again I really don't feel like going out - need to but don't feel like it right now.. Need some groceries and trash bags - so I guess evenutally I will get dressed and go out.. I don't put undo pressure on myself - I do as I please - that's the great part of being a grown up...

I agree with you on Wasa - do you know that she and I had a little spat when I first joined lbt :thumbup: and yes she can be abrasive - put she posted once that typing and talking are two diff mediums - I can say something like "oh what are you talking about" and you can see my face and hear the tone of my voice - but when I type those same words it can be construed totally differently.. She and I did become friend and I agree - she is truly kind and caring (she and I have pm'd in the past and she is a totally fun person) and I totally agree very very smart.. She is one of those persons that you have to get to know - and once you do you get her. Ya I was freaked about the band - but heck you just gotta go for it sometimes and not think about it too much... And as long as there is not language barrier - I would be cool about going - since they come and get you.. You will be ok.. I'm not a worrier per se - I research and once I make up my mind I go for it - I do feel quite fortunate in getting to my sweet spot in 2 fills with 1 tweak (wouldn't call .01 a real fill - more mental than physical I thing) Well, try and not to worry too much You will be having alot of pple pulling and praying for you... Ok I have been on this computer since I got home from work - my eyes are killing me - so I am off to the couch.. TTYL GF take care:tt1:

It's breezy here - but not bad - my feet are cold though I need to go and get some new visors & sun glasses from COD - Maybe I will do that (if I remember) after I take the dogs to the groomers... Note to self- COD tomorrow :0) I am ok I think mine is allergies - the claredin really helps..

D Ya I understand totally - lately I feel I am able to eat more but then the next day I get full fast.. Kathy story is very scary - but I do chalk some of it up to a bad doc to begin with - and you know what - crap happens - it's the luck of the draw.. I really haven't venture from my mentor thread - and my Lucky #7 and this one - I hate reading about the complications (I'm Scarlett O'Hara or an Ostrich). I went to the sleeve thread - I didn't know you were such a baby about pain - and can't beleivve you didn't have pain after your band - I woke up in PAIN but it was just the first 24 hrs really... Well that and the stupid port - they shoud design one that's low profile :0) How's your weight doing since your unfill - So you are going overthere by yourself - have you already met with the Dr.. I would need someone to hold my hand - I go to Mexico (well did w/my xdh but he spoke spanish I don't)- but it still sorta scares me - finding a doc who will touch you here in the states if you have a problem.. But I would look into it if I lost my band - I am just thankful that so far so good...

Welcome Doodlebug !! #1 thing to know that your band is only a tool - it's not going to lose the weight for you - it's a great tool to help you make the lifetime lifestyle changes in your eating habit but that's all it is.. The band makes you feel fuller on a smaller amount of food *hard proteins) once you get proper restriction- but even with proper restriction - it's not going to stop you from eating a half gallon of ice cream - a bag of candy - cookies - cake or high fat foods. #2 Follow your doctors orders to a T - All our doc's have different instructions - you have to follow yours.. #3 - Don't eat when you are suppose to be on liquids - as you can damage your band (stiches that holds it in place) #4 - Start an exercise program #5 - Know that the band isn't going to stop your head hunger issues - remember they are banding our tummies and not our heads - I will be pouch full but still hungry (saitey) so that is something that you have to work on - and your new full is diff than what full use to feel like. #6 - Keep a food diary - there are many online programs - I kept my own little notebook - but there's dailyplate.com - fitday.com - sparkspeople.com Here a link with directions http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f5/ticker-tutorial-pictures-41782/

Becky With your kitchen torn up - I totally understand - I don't know how I would live - I don't like those processed meals too much - will have one every now and then I like real food - I buy the rotissie (sp) chickens and I do ok with them - and you are suppose to take (pencil eraser) tiny bite band rule :0) But I have to becareful of stringy meats - Once you get that kitchen done - you will be able to get back to your regular diet and exercise..

Congrats Sooverit :thumbup: Haven't heard from you in a while - You are a lucky one like me to get to your sweet spot so fast. Pre-Happy 50th - I love my 50's especially since I have lost the weight.. Kept up the good work - it really is a lifestyle change... Long - Hugs - I know it has to be trying even though you are glad to have them visit (well GM is staying).. Oregondaisy -When are you having it done - is Wasa going with you.. I hope I don't lose my band - I am lucky so far no reflux or any other issues - but heck who knows what's going on inside me... My doc does blind fills and I haven't had one since last January - lately I think I may need a tweek - but really don't know cuz you know how fickle our bands can be.. When I went to the lapband council last June - they asked Dr Dixon if we should periodocicly get and upper gi (or whatever the test would be) to ck for erossion - and he said no - if you don't have symptoms not to worry.. Well heck I have read that the only symptom some pple have is just no restriction - there is no pain.. My Dad said once why am I going to buy life insurance to leave other rich... I beleive in spending it if you can - enjoy it now - you worked hard for it.. My port sticks out a little and ya it's like an egg.. Oh you have scar tissue - I guess I don't cuz I don't have a problem bending.. Well, don't you still have to watch what you eat - (the whole eating healthy issue) What I've read (only a little) you still absorbe your calories - The sleeve is almost like a permanet band (well the cut your excess stomach and leave you will a smaller one like our pouch) I am happy for you - and want to know when you are having it done - so I can keep you in my prayers - and now I will know 2 (well I think I know one other on that board can't remember her name) pple - so if I ever do have a problem - I know who to contact - Congrats on that ticker - isn't it so great to update it and it keeps going down - WTG OMW Julie - now I know so much more about you :cool2: Phyl - Talent - being a WONDERFUL GREAT FREIND !!! I can attest to her being a good listener... Charlene - I thought I read somewhere (could be totally wrong) that insurance does cover it.. I didn't know about it until I got on this site and Wasa talked about it.. I have talked to another lady who's going to be banded this summer and she had a freind who had the sleeve and I think she said insurance covered it.. I wonder if something happend and you have to have your band out for a few months and you have a normal bmi - would insurance cover it to be put back in since you are no longer obese

Hugs Steph - I too have always been afraid of stomach flu with the band - knock wood - haven't had any problems - but I can't tell you the last time I had stomach flu.. Well you know that walk is in San Diego too Gosh I am going to be sad to miss that one - cuz I want to meet My Daughter too ... In fact Karri where are you - have you lost it - are you in jail - what's up girl.. Candice - how are you today Donna - what's your weekend plans Car - What are you doing Kari - hope you are having fun Phyl - hope the wind doesn't get too bad Well - just cking in - cbl

OMW Julie - I'm pooped from just reading what you did :thumbup: Thanks for the prayers tonite - They are much appreciated and always needed - can't have to many of those... Well gang I have been up since 3:45 a.m. - really woke up about a quarter to 3 - took Angel out to pee - got back in bed and couldn't go back to sleep -tossed and turned may napped for about 10 minutes then said heck with this and got up.. Gotta say I'm not as bushed as I thought I would be.. Nothing much to report - am feeling better - Tomorrow taking my fur babies to the beauty palor - they look like rescue dogs - well not that bad they have had baths and brushed since their last appointment over a month a go - heck it might be closer to 3 months.. But poor angel can't see - and bear is just to fluffy - heck last night in bed he was panting and its cold.. So gym at 7ish - groomer at 9 - need to clean - I don't need to shop !!! but might go check out Ross for something I just can't live without... Need to get sunblock etc for cruise. Well just checking in - Sharon girl where are you - you are worrying me :0) !!!!

Getting a taco there would be good !!! Well my DVR only records for 1 hr and the show ran over most likely cuz of drama queen.. I loved David A at the beginning last yr but yes he bored me to tears after 2 shows - David Cook doing Billie Jean - amazing -

Becky - I have alway been concerned that you were too tight - you eat alot of soft foods and yes they don't stick with you no matter the amount of your restriction - you should be able to eat hard Protein (meats) they really do keep you full longer - sausage would be considered a meat and you have to make sure you are taking small bites and chewing really well - that's the one rule I follow most often - eating protein first - I may then move to my starches before my veggies - but most time it's meat veggies starches. What kind of meats are you trying to eat - chicken is hard for some - I don't have a problem most days - also I have to make sure my red meat is tender - I eat hamburger patties with no problem - but I like my meat rare.... How long are you staying full?? If I eat sliders - I will be hungry within 1 hr of eating - but after a solid meal I am good for a few hours - today was our brown bag lunch pot luck - lasanga - salad - peach cobbler ice cream - I had 1 cup lasanga as little salad and some (cup) cobbler - and I gotta say I am not hungry at all - but agian that could be the clareden I'm taking ...

Joann - You are one heck of an artist !!!! Those quilts are beatiful... Peaches - You know I like your too :0) Apples - Talents - I don't think I have any - I can copy other pples ideas well - don't have much patience and Haven't tried any hobbies lately - cuz when I do - I get all consumed with them - right now I would say lbt is my hobby... I don't have time for anything else - I would like to paint one day.. Kathy - Prayers... Oregondaisy - are you really going with Sleeve - will you have to be self pay - are you going to the same doc as wasa. I know if I lost my band - I would consider it... I feel to darn good to go back to being obese.. I say I have done 75% of the work - but that 25% of restriction is still a big part of my success - I think I would try to maintain 1st then if I couldn't I would consider the surgery...

Ya as I was watching Idol last night I knew who she was referring to I forget that most of the pple on here are ahead of us in time zone - She is such a drama queen I'm better - I think it may just be allergies - I am taking clardein - heck it's like taking speed - I have been up since 3 - well maybe cat napped for 20 minutes or so - but when the clock said 3:45 I got up - I will be dragging butt tonite... Ya I chatted w/Linda on FB last night found out she was staying at your park - so I guess I will meet you guys at your place around 12:30 on Monday and we can go from there Denise - Yep I was a wild child you know your typical catholic school girl - but I had most pple fooled - I looked and acted like a nice girl but - I was hot to trot.. I didn't really grow up til I got around 40 ish :0)... Ya I tivo'd too and the show ran over - but thank god my dvr let me rewind to see who went thru. NO Tatiania thank god !!! yes she is very annoying - I think she can sing but too much drama... The very end - Matt I think is his name - the one who sang MJackson - did get thru instead of Anoop but then simon said this yr we are having 13 - Anoop made it - I was glad - I like him but I bet we have a double elimination next week.. Think the blind guy just got the sympathy vote.. I don't think he's that great but will see - it seems like the pple I like in the beginning end up fading and then someone I didn't care for excels - like David cook last yr.. Lil Rounds is the one to watch out for right now IMHO - The tattoo girl made it thru & Jasmine - Blues guy and Anoop

Sharon where are you girl.... How's your day today...
