Blonde Moments! A blonde named Pam is appearing on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" with Regis Philbin. Regis: "Pam, you're up to $500,000 with one lifeline left: phone a friend. If you get it right, the next question is worth one million dollars. If you get it wrong, you drop back to $32,000. Are you ready?" Pam: "Yes." Regis: "Which of the following birds does not build its own nest? Is it A) robin, sparrow, C) cuckoo, or D) thrush." Pam: "I'd like to phone a friend. I'd like to call Carol." Carol (also a blonde) answers the phone: "Hello?" Regis: "Hello Carol, it's Regis Philbin from Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I have your friend Pam here who needs your help to answer the one million dollar question. The next voice you hear will be Pam's..." Pam: "Carol, which of the following birds does not build it's own nest? Is it A) robin, sparrow, C) cuckoo, or D) thrush." Carol: "Oh, Pam. That's simple. It's a cuckoo." Pam: "Are you sure?" Carol: "I'm sure." Regis: "Pam, you heard Carol. Do you keep the $500,000 or play for the million?" Pam: "I want to play; I'll go with C) cuckoo." Regis: "Is that your final answer?" Pam: "Yes." Regis: "Are you confident?" Pam: "Yes; I think Carol's pretty smart." Regis: "You said C) cuckoo, and you're right! Congratulations, you have just won one million dollars!" To Celebrate, Pam flies Carol to New York. That night they go out on the town. As they're celebrating, Pam looks at Carol and asks her, "Tell me, how did you know that it was the cuckoo that does not build its own nest?" "That's easy, everybody knows they live in clocks."

I have not been banded yet.. actually going in for my first appt Tomorrow (woohoo) I dont live in Colorado but I will be travling there from New Mexico to see my Dr. hes in Pueblo Co, just about a 500mile drive... not to bad.

Glad everything went good, everything will be smooth sailing...

You look great no matter what anyone says... Everyone has to put there two cents in and you know what most of them have no place to talk! You have come a LONG way you need to proud!!! never give up on your accomplishment because you work hard. Its hard going from 230 some lbs to what you are now. its NOT easy and you are very strong for what you have already done. I hope I am there one day and look as wonderful as you...

This is cute... hehehehe or scarey.. yeah hehe A group of seniors were sitting around the pool talking about all their ailments. "My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one "Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my coffee." "I couldn't even mark an 'X' at election time, my hands are so crippled," volunteered a third. "What? Speak up, I can't hear you," said a fourth. "I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a fifth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement. "My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy I can hardly walk," exclaimed another. "I forget where I am and where I'm going," said an elderly gent. "I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head. The others nodded in agreement. "Well, count your blessings," said one woman cheerfully. "THANK GOD WE CAN ALL DRIVE!

That was really cute!!! Happy New Year to you too Take Care

I have always eattan really fast usally the first one to finish eating first. Im 320lbs (last time I checked) and Im also 28 yrs old... Right now Im unable to excersie the weight of my body is so large that im messing up my ankles, i wish i had a bike to ride myself, so then i wouldnt have to bounce my flab around in worries of breaking something. At night I dont get calf cramps but my upper thigh gos numb and the burning is soooo bad I want to cry, and sometimes I do. We will make this work Rachel You, I and so may others, we need to take control of our selfish body with the help of the band.. and be able to do anything!

HAHAHAHA Thats a good one Greg.... And I wasnt the one at the front of your door... nope wasnt me hehhehehe

HAHAHAHA me either.... Ugh again im NOT blonde hahaha.... Now to think of a good joke.... hmmmmmmmm (I hope no one get offended) This is a story about a popular young Baptist preacher, who on Sunday morning announces to the congregation that he will not renew his contract and is moving on to a larger congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush. No one wants him to leave. Bubba, who owns several car dealerships, stands up and announces, "If the preacher stays, I'll provide him with a new sedan every year, and his lovely wife with a minivan, to transport their children!" The congregation sighs, and applauds. Billy Bob, the entrepreneur and investor, stands and says, "If the preacher stays, I'll double his salary, and establish a foundation to guarantee the college education of his children!!" More sighs and applause. Ms. Ella May, age 70, stands and announces, "If the preacher stays, I'll give him SEX!!" There is a hush. The preacher, blushing, asks, "Ms. Ella May, whatever possessed you to say that?" Ms. Ella May answers, "I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said, .... Screw him'!"

I hope your not talking about the two non lapbanded people Me and Jamie hehehehehe We will get there!!! ----------- Down the LapBand road we go hehehe Wait... isnt that a Blond joke???? Geeee and Im not even blonde hahaha
