Hello Beauty! Hey, when the weather cools down some, Linda V and I are going to start walking in the evenings again. Let us know if you wanna join. It would be great for your pre-op goals. And thanks for the compliment.

What you smell is Duke Funk. It's worth a lot of money. LOL! If only I could figure out how to bottle it.

*raises her right hand* I met the Duke at the Cody Wyoming airport in 1975. He shook my hand, covered my hand in his with his other hand, and gave me the nicest smile and told me it was a pleasure to meet me. I just stood there dumbfounded, speechless, and in awe. I still haven't washed that hand!

:hail: FUNNYDUDDIES

Hey guys and gals.. just a reminder, we are in "Ignore Mode" right? No matter what ya see, or how much ya wanna comment or defend me. Please don't. Trust me, at this point it's best to keep on like we have been. Focus on why we're here and the rest will take care of its self. I love you guys! *hugs everyone*

Antici........

Hm.. I wonder if any women have come up with a testicular exam thing like JP's mammogram machine? Could make for an interesting picture. *laughs* *waves* Hi Scarecrow! Where's the revenge?

*sings* I'm going to North Carolina again! *sings* I'm going to get to see FunnyDuddies while I'm there. *sings* I'm bettin' you're all jealous! *crazy laughter*

*shakes her head* Could we get back on topic please? There are other threads for talking about signature lines and nascar, and PM's are great for one-to-one conversations. Thanks.

Maggie what GREAT news!!! I'm so very happy for you!! *happy hugs*

Woohoo DeAnn! So glad the weekend turned out great! We had a blast in Spokane, WA over the weekend with my mom and some her friends. So, even tho I was on the opposite side of the state, I was in the same state with you! lol Last night we had dinner on the lake at the Coeur d'Alene resort (30min east of Spokane) - very posh - the halibut was to DIE for! All in all a great weekend. Now here it is Sunday night and time to get ready for another week of plain ole living. Hope everyone else got some off-line time as well!

It's because I was gone for two days! Without me, there IS no LBT. *cackles* (psst.. that was a joke)

Dear DonnaB, Actually, I don't think it's something they do on purpose. It's a formatting issue. Now.. don't you feel bad for that, Donna? Shame on you for being such a meaniehead. Love, P'Nutz

My parting gift to y'all before I leave for the airport... I decided to try on my size 24 jeans this morning. The ones I couldn't wear anymore (when I started wearing size 26 jersey-type elastic waist things). Anyway, those jeans have tapered legs so the bottom hole of the leg is fairly small right? So, there I am in the bathroom, telling Dawg "Oo.. I think I'll try on these old jeans. It might be worth a laugh." After trying them on and getting a good chuckle out of how HUGE they are on me, I get the idea to try to get both legs into one pant leg. I start putting my foot in the leg, I'm smiling from ear to ear because my leg went right in alongside the other one. Then.. trouble started. My foot reached the bottom of the tapered leg and I couldn't get it to go down any further. I'm holding onto Dawg, pushing my foot down and realize that I'm standing on the material with the foot that was already thru. So I let go of Dawg, pull up on the pants with both hands while trying to stand up on my tiptoes to get the material out from under my heel -- when I started doing a Leaning Tower of Pisa impression. Remember, both legs are in the same pant leg.. there was no putting a foot down to catch myself. I'm saying "Get me! Get me!" as I'm going backwards. I let go of my pants and tried to catch myself on doorway into the closet but to no avail. I ended up in a heap of dirty clothes, laughing my ass off with Dawg really laughing! He laughed! Out loud!! :faint: Ah yes, trying on those pants did indeed provide a good laugh. Y'all have a wonderful weekend. I'll miss ya. I love ya, lunatics.

P'ROFL!! I'll p'meet you behind the p'barn ya p'bastahd! *grins* Ooo.. I have been given a new name and I love it! Ph*ckNutz! Isn't that adorable? Bye y'all. I'll be p'thinkin' about ya!

Ok deal. September 11. In honor of the twins that fell.. you and I can stand side by side and kick ass (just not mine, ok?)! See you when I get home. Enjoy your weekend.. and get some R&R in will ya?

Well.. pfffft.. I did squat. No walking. Not enough water. And what was that other thing I was going to do? Ohh yea, journal my food. I might get that done. Wont be here for a few days (rejoicing) cause we're going on a trip to visit mom. I'll get my shit together when I return tho, so Penni.. be prepared. Starting on Monday, no outside BS is going to drain our energy or rob us from our focus. Right? *hugs*

I'm going on a trip tomorrow! I'm going to fly in an airplane and see my mom and come home with lots and lots of money. I love my mom. I love trips. Flying is ok, but Dawg is not. *laughs*

Now is a good time to share a picture of my grandson who spent last weekend with us. He always has a great time at Gram's house. Having a drug addict/alcoholic grandma has its perks.

Everyone should go to Vegas at least once. It's a wonderfully exciting place with so much to do and see. Be prepared for the heat if you go in the summer though. Man it gets hot there! Something that will always stick in my mind about Vegas is the rooftops of all the houses are the same. Well, they look the same to me. All that red clay tile stuff. And the streets were all lined with cinderblock walls that had that same pinkish stucco look as the houses did. To me, the only color was in the night lights. The last time we went there, we had a blast watching the mini shows they put on out in front of the big hotels. Amazing stuff. We were there with 11 other families on a mission trip with YWAM (Youth With a Mission) so we didnt really enjoy any of the gambling and drinking. hehe We stayed in a church, all of us slept on the floor of the church by night, worked in the community by day, put on presentations at night. It was only one stop on the month long trip. Very dear memories. You should go if you get the chance.

Hi Casablnca and Welcome to LBT, I was self pay so I didnt have to go through this kind of thing. I can only imagine how let down you must be feeling. I can't believe the insurance company would require medical care that they don't even cover. What a bummer! There are a lot of folks here who have battled insurance companies and won, so you've found the right place for adivce. Hang in there, don't give up hope. Everything happens for a reason.

LBT??

I did try it... once. Not sure I'd do it again. It's barbaric and cruel and owie.:think

I've been banded just about 8 months now. So it was falling out for about 3 months but seems to have stopped now.

Give us your best guess. :paranoid
