NO! It's a dove dammit! A DOVE!!! A dove, I say!! DOVE!!! Dove! The symbol of peace! Dove!!!!

A fellow Damnwells fan?!? Really?!? Really?!? Can it be??

Um, that is clearly a dove. If you fart rainbows and fish, that can be a medical condition.

Me too, homie! Also, this is a case of people trespassing onto private property and the owner of said property defending it. One doesn't even need to inject race into this one. I daresay if a rowdy group of whites, blacks, asians, indians, irishmen, whatever were trespassing chronically and destroying his stuff, he would have reacted the same way. It boils down to "Yes I trespassed...but then he was mean to me". Well, guess what....if you hadn't been on private property, then he wouldn't have been.

Sure...I'll fed-ex it to ya! Beth, c'mon now..... I believe in "Sex Panther"....60% of the time it works all the time I feel sorry for octo-grandmom....sh'e been saying from the start that Natalie has not helped pay rent or utilities or anything to help rear the 6 kids (pre-octo birth). But what is supposed to do? kick her crazy daughter and (then) 6 grandkids out? No-win situation for grand-maw... *edited to add - I <heart> farting rainbows as well!

Trell, she'll be found guilty of murder. Maybe not premeditated, but murder nonetheless. I'd be willing to bet ya a donut hole. I still think (maybe a little naively) that it probably was an accident. I think she wanted to sedate the girl so she could go out and party and OD'd her on chloroform. Well....to play devil's advocate here, I think they probably knew in their hearts Cailey (sp?) was dead, but psychologically, if Casey was saying she wasn't, then it's hard to give up on that last little glimmer of hope.....no matter how minute. I kinda feel bad for the granparents.

Yes Ma'am.. *sheepishly takes off propeller beenie*

Smells like a used diaper full of Indian food....

Wow.....that's quite the list!!

That was my biggest concern.

Except they only recently added this proviso. The controversy is that the people that joined facebook prior to this newest add didn't electronically agree to this. Interesting....I bet all facebook users will soon have to re-sign the new terms of use.

Hi lynmcg. That's awesome that you finally have a date! Good luck!

Hey sherun, welcome to lapbandtalk. Good luck with the insurance!

"Guilty as hail" - said in my southern accent

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

use my favorite search engine: elgoog. It's kinda like the opposite of google.

I love the movies, but don't get to the theater very often. My kids tend to monopolize my time when I'm not working, and the closest movie theater is about 45 miles away. So, when I do get to the movies, it's usually something kid-based. The most recent movie I saw was "Hotel for Dogs", if that tells you anything. Thank goodness for netflix!!

I just assumed he was gay.

Uh, I think that was tongue-in-cheek He said that to hold them until the police could respond. Kinda like "don't move, or my dog will bite your ass". It's not like he just sic'd the dog on them. What's the problem with holding criminals at gun or dogpoint until the police showed up??

Then you should never, EVER come to Texas!!

Well, fair enough. I really am not trying to be ugly here. I guess by "piss on my joy". I meant that I found your post to be extremely one-sided and emotionally negative....which it is to you. But using generalities ("the band sucks") is really skirting the line between helpful information and propaganda. See, somebody could come along tomorrow and say "The sleeve sucks. I had one and I had problems. Total gastrectomy is the way to go", and then toss in some stats, say that many sleeve patients contact them every day...and voila'! My point is, I'm sorry that the band failed for you. I'm equally happy that the sleeve is working for you. But to post that of all the band patients, the MAJORITY have (or will have) the problems you had is a little misleading. To be fair, I've not seen you post this kind of stuff on the general boards, where (IMO) it does not belong. Come out of the closet? I'm sad that you feel that somehow you'll let everybody down by saying that you're less than happy with what the band has done for you. I'm sad that you feel like you've had to lead a quasi "double life". See, I have no problem whatsoever with individuals saying that.....that's just being honest. And I don't have a problem with you telling newbs that....the only glimmer of a problem I have is implying that band failures are not on an individual basis.....that they're system-wide failures (and I haven't ever seen you post anything like that). I haven't seen enough data to take that as a valid conclusion. That is funny, BJean. I haven't yet had success (to me, that implies a finality). I've lost a lot of weight, but frankly, I'm still a fat dude....maybe not super morbidly Jabba-the-hut obese, but still fat. I'm still "in progress". I'm not totally convinced that there is a "success" with the band (or any WLS, for that matter), because I will have to struggle with it and work for the rest of my life. Maybe....but there is always the struggle against "head hunger", right? IMO, that's the real demon that we all fight against, with whatever tool that we choose.

I can't imagine the lucky bastard that gets an intimate encounter with Ms. Suleman....crazy chicks are HAWT!! Brick, are you just looking around the office and saying you love things? Well, I mean....there's regret and there's "I have 14 children with no way to support them". I have done some things I regret, but....ya know.....

I know, she's a kook. She makes Christians look bad. I can kinda follow some of her arguements, in theory, but then she lets loose with some full-blown crazy....So why do I sometimes find myself sticking up for her? No, really, why? Eh, I don't ever post anything on there I wouldn't mind losing. But if I hear an unknown comic using my stellar wit to catapult to fame, I will.....pay them a visit? Was he?

Wow, wish I had read Wasa'a novel-length post before I got banded.....not. I know you love your sleeve, Wasa, and that's cool that things are fab for you now, but c'mon..... How many times did you point out that the problems you had put you in the MAJORITY, not the minority of bandsters? That may be your personal opinion, wasa, but you toss in some statistics and make it sound like a well-researched fact. It's not. Anywho, I'm not trying to pick a fight either. I just don't get you sometimes....either you are the most altruistic person on this board, or else you get fixated on a few "pet" topics. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt if you'll quit trying to piss on the joy I'm having being banded. Just be as happy for me that the band is working as I am for you that the sleeve is working. Deal?

Congrats! You're doing great!!
