CHM

Definitely the collar bones! Those things make me smiiiiiiiile!

@ I'll give you a head's up next time he's headed to Sydney so you can hide.

Your point is well taken. I shall henceforth keep talk of my boobs out of Dr. @@KindaFamiliar 's respectable thread, unless the need should arise to ask a medical question related to them. Your point is also well demonstrated by the terrible composition of your final sentence.

Its the boobs, isn't it?

@@CHM or me? Yes. Then no.

@@CHM or me? Dammit. I was going to ask that...

Hey! All I did was ask a question like eeeeverybody else!

@@Thecloude1 Yes dear, it's summer. Shall we revisit this topic in February?

@ I'm sure that no one who wasn't born in ND can live there. I actually moved considerably further south (which of course means WARMER weather in the northern hemisphere ) when I returned to America's 'Northern' neighbour.

I just escaped North Dakota after spending the last 10 years there. WInter temperatures surpassed -50F (-45C) on occasion. Now THAT was cold!!

Dear Dr. @@KindaFamiliar First off, let me thank you for taking time out of your busy Sunday to assist us. Your sacrifice is appreciated. I hope you are otherwise enjoying your weekend. Now, I do have a question: I seem to have this near-constant voice in my ear. Am I crazy?

@ One becomes accustomed to such things after more than 2 decades. Lol. I may get a little cranky when in a 'can't sleep' cycle, but otherwise its just my normal. @@KindaFamiliar I did indeed!

@ I'm a lifelong insomniac, and have battled sleep disorders since my pre-teens. I tend to cycle through specific patterns, each usually lasting for 2-4 weeks before moving on to another at random. My body tends to react counterintuitively to many medications, and sleeping pills in particular have historically caused me to pull unintentional all-nighters. 1. Early wake (2-6 broken hours) - fall asleep fine but wake after 2-3 hours and unable to get back to sleep until sunrise, when I can usually squeeze a couple more hours in. This is my most common cycle. 2. Can't sleep (0-4 solid hours) - don't feel tired and/or can't fall asleep to save my life. Sunrise may or may not allow me to sleep (something about sunrise makes it easier for me to fall asleep. Not sure why but I've always been that way. Maybe its a 'safety' thing?) 3. Hypersomnia (10-16 solid hours plus a nap) - can't stay awake. Gotta make up for all of that sleep deprivation at some point! 4. Normal sleep (8-10 solid hours) - the most rare cycle, of course.

@@KindaFamiliar Yes I did, and it was miserable indeed. Made me appreciate my sunny 30 degree weather!

@@KindaFamiliar Though the sun is currently rising over the trees, I can't answer that as I'm only halfway through my night's sleep (yeah...yeah I'm still gonna go with "night's"). I won't be venturing outside for some time, but I know that I'll definitely have better weather than you do! @ Yep. 9:30pm-ish. I'm quite 'familiar' with the time difference. @ Good evening! Hopefully sleeping pills work better for you than they do for me. I have yet to find one that doesn't keep me MORE awake.

Gotta love the early hour Aussie banter...

208.6 this week.

I refuse to click on ANY of these links!!

Omg I want one!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ Ooh, king size bed par... Wait... Just what am I signing on for here...

Aww. Well there goes my entertainment for the week... Oh for the love of... Don't challenge this man! Now he's going to get all weird! I'll play with you if you teach me how to speak with a British accent! I think it would compliment my pearls nicely.

@@KristenLe Congrats! Hope everything goes smoothly and quickly for you. @ That's pretty much how my process went. Except in my case add 3 months between 'decide on surgery' and 'get a date' because my insurance required a medically supervised weight loss plan before approving. But still, relatively painless.

Yay! I'm hired!
