Hi there friends~ Debbie-I have never heard of a mini gastric bypass either! Angela-your post made me LOL about the cork in the dogs butt! TOO FUNNY! I hate driving in Houston as well. I lived there for a while and I did not drive that way at first but I was in survival mode, so I HAD to! lol Kat-sounded like that woman needed a laxative. Some people are just mean like that. Grumpy ole hag. lol Nina-I wish I was gaining and losing the same 6 pounds. I am gaining and losing 60. lol I will win this thing though....and so will you. Shar~sorry you caught someones crap! Hope you are feeling better today! Michelle-I hurt when I move too but I am seriously thinking mine is weight related. I am so sorry that you are in pain. Jenn-lets see, what do I do with myself during the day? Ummm, not alot. I look for jobs and clean house and cook. But you know what? Today, in your honor and for my health, I am gonna walk on the treadmill. I used to do 3 miles but I will strive for one today (unless I am screaming in pain). At least it will be a start. :thumbup: Suzanne-when is the 5K you are gonna do? I am so proud of you! I am so glad to see that about everyone posted. We missed y'all. I am gonna make a vegetable soup today :thumbup: DH is supposed to be off today but they asked him to go in for a few hours. I need to get off here and make sure macy is gedtting dressed for school. We are having the kids over this weekend. OH....i started Christmas shopping. What a relief! I was really worried about that, and now at least I know Macy will not be snubbed by santa :tt2: What is everyone doing this weekend?

Good morning all- Kat-sounds like Izzy is settling in well! When we first got our dog when I was a child....he would watch TV. Remember that show Rhoda? He watched the entire show. LOL My Celexa has been making me queasy...will take a couple of weeks to get used to it again. I hate this feeling, but I FEEL better mentally, so I can handle the side effects! Have a good one everyone! :thumbup:

Hello there :thumbup: Glad you came in. We have some veteran bandsters, some newly banded and some in between. We have a very special group of ladies and one gentleman (I use that term loosely, lol. j/j/ Plain) Tell us about yourself....stick around, we love new people :thumbup:

Good morning everyone~ hmmmmm, where is Angela? I guess I have to go to walmart today and find her :thumbdown: I hope everything is OK with her uncle. Debbie? Shar? Michelle? Come out come out wherever you are! Everyone have a great day!

Hi back at ya Jenn :crying: Good morning everyone~ I have to say it again....i love this weather. It can make even the saddest person smile Kat-you think it is band related? What I mean is .... heck I am not sure what I mean. Is it a 'from the band up' kinda sick? I guess so since you are tasting rotten eggs :tongue2:. When are you gonna do something? Michelle?? Come out come out wherever you are! Hello EVERYONE....have a great day.

Christmas?...I do not even want to think about it. I know I am taking my Celexa again, but...why purposely stress myself out. LOL Kat-sorry to hear that your tummy is upset. I hope it is just something a little better diet can remedy! Everyone have a fantastic day.

Awww Cindy, I am sorry you got burnt. Thanks for posting a pic though!! :smile2: Jenn-do you even realize how terrific you look? :thumbup: I am so proud of you! Your dd looks fabulous too but I cant get over YOU!!! ((((hugs)))) Debbie-i sure wish i had a treadmill. There is a workout room here at our apartment complex...so i guess i really do not have too much of an excuse! It looks like our quiet vacant apartment upstairs is not vacant anymore. But it seems like they dont stomp either, thank GOD! DH started work days today and macy is still gone until later so I am here alone and the quiet is just what the dr ordered. My mom is coming over to visit today and to drop macy off and it will be so niced to see her! I wish she lived here by me. Have a great day everyone!!

I am with Angela....LOVE this cooler weather we are having. We take what we can get down here...lol

Awwww :smile2: You SO deserve to be happy like this!!

Good morning everyone~ I did end up taking my Celexa again. I am going through all the 'new user' symptoms again like nausea but i did not cry once yesterday either so that is worth a little nausea i think. I need to go over to some pal talk website and set it up to recieve a message from macy. She is at a girl scout sleepover and they are earning patches. I will be back in later. Cindy-enjoy the game :smile2:

Kat-that is a great idea! Thanks!

Everyone~thank you so much for all of your concerns. I Will try to answer all of the questions n this paragraph. Did I feel better? Well, physically yes because I no longer had the lump in my throat and my eyes did not sting anymore. Mentally, yes I feel a bit better. I am not taking any meds right now. I want to get through this tough patch I am going through and see how I am. The problems I am having are temporary (or at elast I pray to God they are). If I see that the tears (or the problems) are endless, I will for sure go to the dr and start taking something. The PMS is not helping things :thumbup: I wasn't really having a serious conversation at that particular time but had been not too long before, it was just a high stress day for me. Too much month at the end of the money kind of thing. I put a couple more applications at the school district yesterday. Keep your fingers crossed! Angela-I would love to meet you at the track. Only bad thing is you prob will be able to go faster than me. Just when I go shopping my hips start to hurt. But as I lose some of this weight I will be able to pick up speed. You can lap me and we can talk as you pass me up :crying: I just dont wanna drag you down during your exercise, ya know? Macy is going to sleepover for girl scouts tonight, then tomorrow night she is going to my sisters house to spend the night. I will let you know about going to San Leon. Frank is off. I will ttyl about it, k? Ok, ok, ok, i am tearing up again. I am gonna start taking my celexa or that other one i was taking (can't remember the name of it) again starting today. I know this is not 'normal'. I will talk to you all later. :thumbup: Thanks!

Welcome home Kat!! What a nice thing y'all did for that man! Wonderful folks...you both are truly wonderful folks! Did Kinsey say anything much about missing home? Cindy-I want the beans recipe too! I have eaten them before and always wanted to attempt my own. Are they sweet and tangy? YUMM!! Michelle-hello Oh Voiceless One :smile2: My dh would not know how to act! You feeling better? Angela-you must be getting your butt handed to you at work! You are not posting much! Take care of yourself. Suzanne-that wall was here within the last year or so but we did not go see it. We did not find out about it until the last day. Glad you are liking your fill :drool: Jenn-there is no way I could be a first responder. It takes a special person to do that. God bless you! Shar-I see you there....how are you today? Debbie-so what is new with you? Today I got a new definition of crying uncontrollably. I always thought of that as sobbing and not being able to stop. Well, I know a new one. Sucking it up and sucking it up and just when you think you have succeeded, the tears just fall out of your eyes and you can not stop it no matter how hard you try. That was a new experience. I can laugh about it now....frank and i were at our favorite mexican food joint when it happened and i am SO glad I was facing a wall and only dh could really see me. I kept saying "sorry sorry sorry, i tried not to". That was pretty wild. I am gonna go watch lasst nights episode of Survivor....have a great night everyone!

Good morning everyone! Have a great day :drool:

Oh no too bad of a drive at all....of course in the opposite direction, right? :rolleyes2: lol

how is everyone this morning? lots of sick folks running around. (don't jinx me) I hope Kat is having fun! I am sure she is :smile2: I am so glad that the biggest loser is back on! Those folks inspire the heck out of me. I need to make some christmas money. Gonna check into selling plasma or something....talk to y'all later, i just got a call from dh to go pick him up from the truck dealership....his truck has to stay so I have to go get him. If it isn't one thing its another. ttyl...

:smile2: Now it is comments like this that will make me drive up there and smack the crap out of you! (especially since I weigh like 70 pounds more than you!) I still love you though. :mad:

Hi Shar! How far is it from where you are to Indiana? Long road trip? Be careful....and be nice to yourself. Sometimes we need to cut ourselves some slack. :smile2:

Feel better soon Michelle! How is your dd?

Its funny because when we went to my insurance agency for her to sell, she sat at the first ladies desk and rambled on (you know how she does) and then says that she is shy. I thought that lady was gonna bust a seam laughing! Reminded me of you and Darrell. lol When she left, the lady told her "I am so glad that you aren't shy anymore". Debbie-we think you are pretty great too! Good morning everyone~It is nice outside! You know you are from TX if you run outside at the butt crack just to see if it is cool cause you don't wanna miss it! I saw a news story just a little while ago about a high school football game in Washington. The players (from both teams) got together and let a 17 year old boy with down syndrome make a touchdown run. Made me cry in my first cup of coffee. They did the same thing last year with the same school. THAT is what it is all about! Have a great day everyone!

breakfast in bed??? I must be doing something wrong....

Angela....you are gonna LOVE this. Macy (my shy daughter, LOL) and I went to sell some of her girl scout stuff today. While we were in the car I tell her, "you know what we should do? We should ask Angela if she would like to buy something." Macy lights up and responds, "mom, that is such a great idea! lets go to walmart and find her". LOL!!!

That last post looks like hell, but I am too lazy to fix it! :smile: Debbie-I hope your reader does not scream when it sees a tacky looking post. That was horrible! hahaha

Good morning friends~ Just sitting here having coffee, thinking. Prob should not do that too long, it can get depressing, lol. I have been thinking about starting to take my antidepressants again but then I realize that the tears I cry are tears that are well deserved. Taking a pill to cover up my emotions is the same thing as eating to cover them up, it doesn't do me any good. If anything, it makes my situation worse! SO, that leaves the logical thing....i need to fix my issues I am going through. Easier said than done?...maybe, but well worth it in the end. I know where I need to begin, now I need to actually take hold of the reigns and DO it. Good Lord, I sound like Dr Phil. :yesnod: As Jenn says....Have a wonderful....?! :sneaky: I like leaving it blank. We can fill it in with whatever we want. For Suzanne I am quite sure it will be something nasty. :smile: ttyl...
