Yes indeed RHPS is a cult classic - and if you were indoctrinated with seeing it when it was first out and a mere youngster, it is part of your life. Costumes and audience participation are expected...it is the one movie that loses something seeing it at home on the TV - you NEED to have the Water pistols, the recitations of lines, the singing and dancing etc to really appreciate it! Really want to see the pics! Ditto!! hmmm, haven't even heard of 'Good Hair'... But Heart, it is BECAUSE of the audience participation one goes to RHPS!!! Hope the new drug regime works. For different reasons, I had a hysterectomy, but I gotta say, I haven't missed the PMS stuff! (For that matter, neither does DH) OK people, am I caught up now???

WOW! Yay, Ebony! Fabulous! G4E - Don't stress over the weight gain - you have a few other things going on in your life to worry about that. Please keep us posted on how things are going. Hugs and best wishes. Glad to hear that! Good luck at the Docs.

yes indeed, pics of Tug, please. And learning echos...another skill set is always a good thing. I'll drink a toast to that! Hee hee - smurf! I haven't thought of them in a long time! I used to do that all the time - take leftovers to work and let the hordes feast. But now that I work in a small office with weight conscious females, and one health/exercise nazi, I give them to my brother to feed his garbage-gut kids! I LOVE the RHPS...I love the audience participation too! Your costumes sound interesting - gotta see the pics! A 10K??? How/where do you get the interest in running? Please tell me. Everyone else seems to get hooked on it...I wish I could, but it just seems like work to me... I'll await the next installment to see how you are doing - better I hope!

Part 2... Work breaks and study breaks...that's what PJTP and facebook are for. And yes, I've gone to the 'dark side', and am still trying to figure things out there. Now Ebony, I can just see Plain swelling with pride ....um, I mean getting a big head, I mean....oh, forget it!:eek: I love surprises! Surprise parties, surprise acts of kindness. In school I used to love surprise tests...I'm just weird, I guess. Little kids in costumes are so cute...pets are not! Oops!

OK - I'll give it another try.... Rather than one big multi-quote (although I do believe I am the reigning queen in that regard), I will respond in quotes of 5....starting from my last post... Where's the sign-up list???? Heart - Hope you are starting to feel better... Snow...a dirty word!!! Perhaps your mother and mine are related... You mean, it doesn't work??? Damn! Guess it is back to the Y for me. ratsnfrackin:cursing::thumbup: Perhaps she really wants to be a producer or something, but has to work her way up. OR, perhaps she figures that will be the 'mark of distinction' that gets her noticed and advances her quickly - her trademark, her claim to fame. Or perhaps she is related to the owner and he/she is independently wealthy and doesn't really care if people are paying attention. Or... Tee hee - Now I'm singing that....and am very tempted to wear heavy black eyeliner, a top hat and speak vit a germun akzend.:eek::thumbup:

Morning ladies! Well, I managed a total bandster day yesterday - exercise, lots of water (never a problem for me), portion controlled, no snacks........am I done yet??? At the Y again this morning - wish I could say that I missed it, or that it feels good to be back there or something, but nope, I'm just going because I HAVE to. But Im there! Hope you are all doing well - and for the missing VV's, come on, post a note. Tell us what's happening...RSG; Mom, Jul, Lori, CC, KJC, etc..........................

Oh sure....I decide to leave PJTP-Again because it is dying a slow painful death, and you all start posting!!! Maybe it's me?:scared2::thumbup:

:scared2::thumbup: That'll teach 'em!

Men can be oblivious... Perhaps, if he has noticed at all, he doesn't know what to say fearing that whatever he says it will be misconstrued. For example, if he says, 'You lost weight, you look good', the response could be - what, I didn't look good to you before? And in my opinion, if you see someone every day, you tend not to notice the changes as much as if you see someone only once a month or a year. Whatever the reason, if you want him to comment, ask him what he thinks of the emerging new you.

Get yourself to a doctor...you are too tight! Not only are you going to become malnourished as you aren't eating properly, but you risk damage to your stomach. The longer you leave a problem unattended, the worse it will get.

Morning all! I hope everyone had a good (safe) Halloween, and did not gorge yourself on sweets. We had 2 kids come to the door - that's one more than last year!! I am back to the Y this morning - still not wanting to go, but DH and I are now in a competition for % weight loss from now until Feb. 1. So, if nothing else I will be good because I MUST WIN!! (Not that Im competitive or anything....) Good morning Ezma! I hope your house is ready to go - and now you can step back from the repair stuff and take time to exercise and post here.... Hey Shiny - you are allowed a LITTLE slack in the exercise and eating regimes while you are adjusting to the pregnancy. However, not too much, or for too long! However, perhaps you can use the pregnancy to get others to pack for you and get you moved .... Don't you just hate it when the computer eats your posts, or hiccups and posts it twice, or disconnects you for no reason..... Have I mentioned that Im not fond of computers?? WOW SMS - you look fabulous!! (It's typed in green because I am so envious.... Ditto!! Yes, your TT still looks good...next year perhaps for me. Maybe.

An old old film - The Secret Garden 2.5 The Horsemen - 2 I've just gotta find some good movies to watch soon.......

So where have all the movie reviewers gone??? I am just getting back into seeing some - note they aren't NEW, but they are new to me! So using our trust 1-5 scale in which 1 is 'I would rather gouge out my eyes with hot pokers then be forced to sit through that crap again' and 5 is 'now THAT'S a movie - good story, good acting, good directing....more of these are needed to wash the stench of the millions of BAD movies'.... Surrogates - 2 District 9 - 2.5 Across the Hall - 1 Half-blood prince - 2

Thanks for posting FAnny, I guess PJTP really has come to the end of the line though. So long, farewell, auf weidersehn, goodbye, Adieu, adieu... At least I'm leaving singing. Take care everyone. Be good to yourselves. Don't get your knickers in a knot over things that really won't matter in the grand scheme of things. I am glad to have 'met' you all in my LBT time. I wish you all health and happiness. R.I.P. PJTP

Another slow VV posting day... Take care everyone.

Sigh....no posts since my last one. Tap exits.............

I strongly suggest that you check that you are not too tight...if you are, as weird as it seems, you lose less weight, and the longer it persists the more swelling and potential damage to your stomach is done. If it is confirmed that you are NOT too tight, then assess whether the episodes are related to a particular food or group of foods. For myself, there is no food that I cannot eat (in moderation)...if I had to start eliminating foods, I would be somewhat concerned.

The technician was breaching ethical protocols in several ways: asking why you were having the procedure; debating with you on the merits of your decisions; this is a professional ethics and behavior issue and I strongly encourage you to document (unemotionally) your experience and report it to both the organization AND the licencing body for the profession. The technician is not qualified to give medical opinion; not allowed to disuss treatment options; should not be discussing her family member's (breach of their privacy)... Document and report.

Sorry to hear you had a bad weekend, but congrats on getting some exercise! As for me, I have to go to the Y today and either clean out my locker as I haven't gone in 3 months (after using it faithfully for 18 months) OR resign for another year and use it....Im still debating............ As for my food intake - much better yesterday; I indulged in one scoop (I really can't say tablesppon - I'd guess 3) of peanut butter last night. But overall much better than previously. Today is another battle.......... As for my body deciding this is THE weight - well my weight is certainly something I haven't seen since an early teen, but the doc says, nope. 10 more pounds. I think if I had PS, my flabby gut would remove a few pounds alone, but that is far in my future (if at all). Your nutrionist sounds like she really is going to work WITH you - that's great. My food selection is broad, I love my fuits, drink my water, and only use protein drinks if I am too tight in the morning, but need to have a breakfast later. I make it up and take it to work with me. Hi Ezma, Sending 'food police' thoughts your way - I'll be watching you!!!!:cursing:

a little panicky???? Man oh man, I'd have been committed by now - you are a strong woman! Does this mean that you will re-start your blog? Yes, I would read it, and miss the daily/weekly updates.... Perhaps I live vicariously through all of my LBT PJTP pals, and without your posts, I have no life????

Hi everyone! Fanny - I didn't realize you had returned to your old job; I missed that news somewhere. It is good to feel missed, and welcomed back, isn't it? Kat - but you posted your profile pic, so there must be a way (says she who is non-technical). I really want to see the stockings, or close ups of one or two. I miss my morning chats with Slim. sigh... Going to the Y today and either recommit to going there faithfully (which I did for 18 months) or clean out my locker as I've been paying the fee without going for 3 months...time to make a decision! Gloomy Tuesday - cold and raining (at least it isn't snowing!). Spent a few hours looking for a new job yesterday...between the economy, my requirement for a job too be something I haven't done before, and the fact that I'm in my 50's, the opportunities are few and far between. But I HAVE to leave where I am; I am the proverbial round peg getting mighty bruised and beaten as they try to force me into the square corporate hole. Of course the fact that one friend sent me an email yesterday telling me it was the first monday of the last 5 weeks she would work before retiring just depressed me. I am no where close to being able to afford to retire....and now my friends and previous co-workers are counting down. Between marital break-up, bad investments, and my habit of moving every 3 years...I will be lucky to retire before I'm dead!! :cursing::cursing::scared2: Bah!

Hi CC - Tap waves wildly and yells at the top of her lungs!! Another one running - what IS it about you guys??? Running? By choice. Enjoying it???? The shoes sound worth the money - but I suppose I would have to do my part and actually DO something - they won't just do it all themselves, will they??? Glad to see you back posting....

I can understand paying attention to the school stuff, but you need 'play time' too! I can't imagine seeing the Saw - ick. And I'm not too sure about the Law Abiding Citizen either - my DSDs tell me that I won't like it, too graphic, gratuitous violence, etc. I wish I could get back to doing something, but so far, my ass just won't move! Only 20 pounds to go Ebony - that's fabulous!:wink2::thumbup:
