Sure I"ll come to your B-Day party! Thanks for the invite! I think I'll be a little late, like Vegas in September late :cool: I don't remember who said this (I know, me being the quote queen and all...) but "Living well is the best revenge." And I think his wife is going to make him squirm for you.

Okay, here are my active hobbies: pottery, loom knitting, computers and technology, PC based video games (yeah, I’m hardcore), LBT, music, movies, drawing (I’m teaching myself), interior design, horseback riding, and gourmet cooking. Because I'm in exile, there are several I am not actively doing like gardening or playing with my dog. (yeah, I had to leave him at home.)

Michelle, I can only hope I do as well as you have. You are an inspiration! <I will not compare my journy to Michelle's, I will not compare my journy to Michelle's, will not compare my journy to Michelle's>

Congrats Penni! have you looked back at how many inches you've lost??? :cool:

ohhh English chips! ohhh! Yup, probably the salt did you in.

good grief! that brain test took forever! I scored 25 points to the women side. Most women score 50.

great work! these are great NSVs!

watching the evening news and they sited a medical study that recommends WLS for MO folks! NBC local news cast. I have't found antying else yet

walked 40 minutes, worked with horses 2 hours. Man, am I going to be sore tomorrow!!! :cool:

keloiding happens frequently with Blacks. (Since this isn't just an American board, I'm not using the term African Americans, because we have folks from a few differnent countries...) Sometimes with scaring, the scar is raised and welted. This is prized for scarification and branding.... However, if you are not into body modification, then it might not be prized. I hope that made sense

May the Cities in your wake, burn like candles on your cake!

oh Megan, I'm so sorry. What a jerk.

Perhaps a sticky forum? Sort of a Everything you wanted to know about the band?

Donali, apperances can be deciving.. :cool: I thought I knew stuborn until I met my son!

well, I didn't actaully go to Cold stone... I had salmon salad instead of ice cream. Good Greif!

It is just yummy, and had plenty of anti-oxidants. I haven't heard that it helps with weightloss though. Sure hasn't helped me!

I am a Leader. Natural managers who strive for efficiency See the big picture and make strategic plans for the future Think of themselves as bright, independent and logical May overlook other people's need for emotional support I think this fits, since I'm an ENTJ on the Meyers-Brigs.

oh man, food is more center stage than it has been in a long time! I had sushi and sashimi for my "last meal" too. But I sat and savoured every single piece from the eel to the seattle rolls to the smoked salmon to the nigiri... mmmmm sashimi...

Welcome to the Banded Gentry!

Mine is a few inches above my belly button and to the RIGHT

(Pssst Paula! Scotty's a she!)

Oh Tina! I'm so sorry! I didn't tell my mother for the very same reason! When I told her that I was getting a full ride scholarship, her remark was "they are going to waste that on a 40 year old woman??" Not, wow, that is amazing and I'm so proud of you, it was you don't deserve such a thing. I won't bore you with the details, but I learned that strong people ask for the help they need. (Wolves don't know about help...) Tina, you are stronger than you know, and you deserve the band. We all deserve good things, the best the universe has to offer.

I just laugh about it. I'm not dating anyone because I have an exclusive contract with my DH... Oh, and for me to joke about bodily functions is a HUGE step for me. Growing up we were not permitted to have bodily functions, or appear to have them anyway. I find humor to be a great weapon/tool.

Hey Gypj, not all protien drinks are created equal. Try to find one that has a lot of Protein and lower calories. The adkins are okay, but do try some other shake. Also, if you are on shakes, you can probably have blended Soups now, right? I found the soups to be more filling than the shakes. Good luck! (I just moved to mush, so the liquid stage is very fresh in my mind!)

We have it every other week, at $65. per day. You cannot believe the ammount of arguments that has cut down! That was one of the condtitions of me going into exile--DH and Spudboy keep the housekeepers, and I don't freakout when I go home to visit.
