when i say there is no debating going on it's because there isn't.....BOTH sides play into typing up a whole pages worth of text (BTW - some, including myself don't read through 8 paragraph responses all the time) on their position. if questions aren't answered properly or at all - pissing match starts....again BOTH sided. that's not debate, reason i said such. i have read through most of this thread, minus the ignored....i just shake my head, really cause i can have this discussion w/my BEST friends, husband & his family who all are not fans of obama and it is quite egaging, entertaining, thought provoking & most importantly CIVIL. yes - we're smoothed over.

i didn't pick up on that; but i think the US hasn't caught on like the rest of the world that race & gender no longer matters - so long as the candidate is qualified. .....and i get it, many feel obama isn't qualified, but there is merit to say that because of the color of his skin "some" many not give him a chance. that is MY opinion - not fact.

ha! DH has a new smoker & wants MEAT - but like cc said we'll take a few bites and be done; thankfully my youngest brother is a bottem less pit when it comes to food. sorry SMS - w/the meat talk:) **i just re-read that & it could have diff meaning:)**

i'll take my infractions in the form of a wet noodle slap..... i guess i can behave :sad: i will agree w/plain on this - yes obama was well rec'd over the pond, but till he gets the other countries to buy into his economic plan (which i'm not sure will happen) can that visit be considered a success.

we usually do a pork roast or a rack of lamb - neither sounds good about now......so i'm open to ideas as well..??

yesterday - b- veggie spring roll l- mexican shrimp cocktail - lots of avocado s- handful of sunflower seeds d- chicken / cheese stuffed ravioli w/prosciutto sauce, could only eat 3 they were rich i don't have a sweet tooth - rather a savory salt one. i've been eating any kind of nut lately....

not at all - i noticed my sausage toes are no more & veins are on the top of my feet. sure wish i didn't get rid of so many shoes when i went up a size or 2.

agreed. liked him for the same reasons - was thoughtful in giving the free groceries to aubrie, he seemed just into losing weight & i still think he does; but dad is a huge influence.....and not sure such a hot one these days. my opinion of both has changed.

maybe your mourning the joy of food - because it's a chore sometimes to eat? i'm a foodie, and there isn't much i can't eat - actually there isn't any....i do catch myself watching others eat while dining out. like i just want to bite into a huge burger w/all the fixings and not have to wait till it's cold before i dig into another bite. or i notice that someones' meal came 20mins after mine & they're done - while i gingerly take my time. sometimes the joy is gone. as for cravings, dairy & fish are much stronger than before the band. artificial sweetners - can't stand them. i was a diet coke freak, low fat this / that .... now i get headaches, and the taste is metalic. funny all the diet stuff didn't stop me from getting fat:)......

:glare: having over the top mtgs:), unable to manage & effectively communicate to staff.....slips happen ahhhhh i could right a book:)

ebony - was your union rep in the mtg? good as time as any to get a notebook & journal every conversation - save every IM, email, vmail from here on out w/your supervisor & anyone else that acts in that capacity. they always slip up:) sorry the mtg didn't go so hot - think you handled yourself very well.

yeah - she did enjoy it, i would have been turned off......but she did do the right thing in sending sione home. he did look very handsome!!!

if it were me w/the golden ticket & kristen fell below the yellow line - i would have ax'd her......such a suck up.

pictures help!!! that looks really good - never thought about mixing artichokes w/eggs ... but why not??? yesterday - b- half slice ww toast w/peanut butter & peach smoothie l- 2 veggie spring rolls s - handful of mixed nuts d - shrimp fried rice - lots of shrimp & veggies, very little brown rice s- one final bite of cheescake - it's gone!!!!

suppose to be in the 80's today - finally spring is back, but i wanted to strangle the damn bird that was SO friggin happy - wouldn't let me sleep in. ebony - be thinking of ya today!!

what debating? no such thing on this board any longer. btw - beth is no newb * dr phil also makes me puke in my mouth.

well how convienient. every damn thread her hot ass participates in results in what GOD says....well - he's done. he called wants his calling card minutes transferred to paul rudd. so you give lieniency to PG - cause why???? she's been a strain on the system - not this lib ... trust me , uncle sam gets more than his due from dh and myself and i'm retired before 40. i have been friends w/BJean since i joined - share the same politics & fought in many threads before many here joined. have at it - ya'll.........

would love it - throwing up in my mouth is not band friendly.

actually the lib homies are actually put off with the father/son/holy ghost/ constantly thrusted in every damn discussion on this board - so we're off having a glass of wine. GOD really needs a vaca after reading this board!!!! he's so busy. if only my ignore feature would block quotes from the "sheltered"......a feature alex should explore.. i'll save my raspberries for my future contempt fees.....

oh cleo's mom i have been following you & yes you should change dr's.....but get the proper information regarding what band you do actually have. my discharge papers gave me the warranty & box my band came in - serial number etc.....BIG diff between the APS standard than what you have. my surgeon is an hr away - and went into private practice from true results 6 months ago; moving another 20mins north of me. geographically undesirable - YES; but he's done thousands of bands & will see me as fast as i can get there if needed. keep us posted -

i did laundry, while writing a tort argument... beth - really; you got gang mentality going on & it's distracting whether you agree or not - it is.

omg your too funny. i'm married to an engineer (we were banded the same day) - we "did" a wkly friday weigh in and he ran a chart VERY similar.....was annoying at first - then the competitiveness kicked in.

it's every day - squirrel heads that they think are a tennis ball; frogs, mice, you name it - love it when they get skunked too. re the pie - my big lab is know around my small town and has a lot of friends who feed him. he's been know to steal food off peoples picnic tables & last yr stole a smoked turkey right from a family reunion party. needless to say DH and i had to order pizzas for them...

hey i got bambi's foot too - :thumbdown: can't help what the dogs bring in as souvenirs .,...

****oh crap ebony**** i'll be rubbing my lucky rabbit foot for ya!!!!!
