Holding down the left mouse button will "grab" the image and allow you to move it to another location in your post. Clicking on the paperclip icon and selecting "Manage Attachments" will reopen the "Manage Attachments" window and allow you to delete or add more pictures for the current post.

Anyone in or around Boise coming to the support group meeting tomorrow night (Tues, the 14th)? Dawg and I will be there, and this time we do have the right night! LOL For anyone interested, it's held in that white, domed, tent looking thing in St. Al's parking lot behind the hospital. You can see it from the connector as you drive by. If you are coming from Emerald, turn north on Hartman. You can't miss the tent. There are no bathrooms inside, you have to go to the building nearby. The meeting is from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. We sure would love to meet some Idahoans!

St. Al's Support Group Meeting June 13th, Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30pm The meeting is held in the white "tent" building behind St. Al's The group is led by two psychologists and usually has about 30 participants (waiting to be banded or banded). The first 1/2 hour is focused on those waiting to be banded, giving time for questions. The remainder of the evening is open discussion for all. IdahoBandsters Soup Night June 22nd, Thursday 6:30pm This month the IdahoBandsters are planning something a bit different and sure to be a lot of fun. Jackie Watts is donating an evening in her ceramic studio and will be providing mugs for us to paint while we eat. I don't think it's been decided on whether everyone should bring their own food, or if we'll do a potluck. I'll let you know when that's settled. Jackie's studio, Artist for a Day, is located in the Edwards Cinema Complex, where Overland Rd. crosses the freeway. See you there!

I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of music you all are listening to. I personally am a huge fan of the Moody Blues, they would have to be my tip top all time favorite band. After that, I like almost all classic rock. Tom Petty, Eagles, Foghat, Ozzy! And am also VERY into Oakenfold, Sasha, Digweed, PVD.. if you know the names, you know the genre. *grins*

*grins at Dawg* someone had to do it, might as well have been me! *laughs*

Our Idaho thread has been quiet for some time and I know we have some new folks in Idaho on LBT now.. so Im starting a hello thread! :wave: To SheryBery - You asked about my pre-op situation with Dr. Cahn. I was only on the pre-op for about two weeks and lost 16 pounds. I was also suffering with a hernia just above my belly button that Dr. Cahn was worried about and planned to repair at the time of my banding. So, I was fortunate in that I made it thru the pre-op steps fairly quickly. I was self pay, which also helped. I dearly love Dr. Cahn and have a great respect for his approach to post op care. You will be in good hands!

Whatcha doing on Sunday, September 16th and 17th? Wanna meet? I'll be in town Saturday night and Sunday. If anyone's interested in meeting up for dinner on Sat night or lunch on Sunday, let me know. I'd love to meet so many of you! Funny and her family will be there for Sunday lunch.

One day, God created the dog and said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.” The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?” So God agreed. On the next day, God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.” The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?” And God agreed. On the next day, God created the cow and said, “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.” The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?” And God agreed again. Then on the next day, God created man and said, “Eat, sleep, play and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.” But man said, “Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?” “Okay,” said God, “You asked for it.” So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you. Go live. (Life is Music! Play it Louder!)

:angel: HOLY SHIT :angel: JP, I know something you don't know.

Welcome to the Gone for Good Club The members of this "club" are like-minded people who want to challenge each other to keep working toward our goal of weight loss and keeping it off! We have no illusions of the band being a miracle cure, nor do we believe that we will achieve our goals without working for them. We understand that if we continue the lifestyle and eating habits that got us fat in the first place, we will not achieve our goals. We come together in order to strengthen our determination by sharing our dreams, our struggles, and our victories with one another. We encourage everyone to get to know one another while sharing tips, support, struggles, and encouragement... and a kick in the rear when needed! *grin* This is not a contest, there is no deadline, and everyone is a winner by being a "loser"!

Alrighty, August has come to a close and the new thread for September is now open at this link: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=23001 (Telly's tat pics are there too)

Someone pass me a chilidog. I'm sure it would be a breath of fresh air compared to what I just stepped in on another thread. It's really getting deep around here.

Kelly, before you start kicking everyone off that's involved I would ask that you read thru the posts carefully. There have been a lot of people whose name appears over and over and over again.. Not because they have been posting mean and hateful things, but because mean and hateful things are being posted ABOUT them. People are sick of seeing my name. I am sick of seeing my name. But I am not attacking anyone, nor am I being insulting or cruel, nor have I broken any LBT rules. I am simply asking someone, anyone, show me where Ive been hurtful or cruel or broken LBT rules and I will take responsibility for that. If by that you see me as someone "involved" then I guess that is your right as a moderator to say so. But I really didn't appreciate seeing you say I should take my followers and leave. I have been strongly repremanded by a Moderator for even suggesting that someone please go on and leave quietly after they had said they hated LBT and were leaving but remained on the boards ripping people apart. (sound familiar?)

Letha, with all due respect, yes it is necessary for someone to go back and copy and paste any cruel things I have ever said to anyone. The reason it is necessary is because for the past two weeks I have been accused of being cruel, being a stalker, harassing people, frightening people, starting slanderous rumors, being a degenerate.. and the list goes on. Yet, not one person who supports these accusation has been able to produce anything other than to say, "Oh yes you did!". I'm sorry but you all can claim that I am these things, but I honestly don't understand where it came from. You all judge my heart, my intentions, my motives, my feelings.. and based on what? Your perception? I have no pack. In fact, most of my closest friends on LBT have been trying their best to stay out of this - some are staying out of it at my request. Most of the people who have been responding to this stuff are people I've never even spoken to. So tell me Letha, you say I showed up and posted on threads. Um, didn't others post as well? Why is it a big deal that I have? Please show me what I have ever done to anyone to warrant this type of vicious attack. Have I called anyone a f*cking c*nt? No, but I have been called that. Have I run around calling people drunken drug addicts? No, but people are doing that to me. So where does all this make any sense to you whatsoever? I have PM'd 3Loves and asked her to please help stop this. How is that wrong, or condescending, or trying to get 3Loves over to my side? When will someone show me one, JUST ONE, post of mine where I have been slanderous, vicious, hateful and cruel. Just one. And before someone brings up my comment about 3Loves having her head up DeLarla's ass again, I posted a very sincere public apology to her about that. And before I hear about my first PM to 3Loves, in which I was asking her to stop attacking me, I did ask why she had chosen to align herself with two of the most unstable people I know. I was speaking of Lisa and Dody, and I think this past two weeks has only supported my statement. This probably will make people angry. Here I am perpetuating this mess. But I dont care anymore. I have as much right to post and say, "Put Up or Shut UP" as (apparently) those who are attacking me have. You say I tried to destroy Lisa. Show me Letha. Show me where I did anything to destroy her. Now look at her posts to me and about me. Do you really not see the major differences?

*laughs* That single post has been copied and pasted so many times, but is completely out of context. Telly was joking around with Dody, and if you'll look at the rest of the posts that followed that one, you'll see Dody telling Telly that she is a sweetheart and still considers her a friend. This is why Dody didn't see that as breaking any rules. And by the way.. that was on the Gone for Good Club - August thread. *laughs again*

Hmm... So about post #297 of this thread... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=21710&page=20 You know, after re-reading things I can see exactly why me saying, "Hey Dody, if you're coming back to Boise you'd be more than welcome at the lapband support group meetings." would warrant such an attack from you. I really don't blame you at all for taking something I shared with my group of friends on the Gone for Good Club thread and using it to rip me to shreads. In fact, I'm such a mean and spiteful person that we should all be grateful for the good hearted, Christian women who have picked up the sword of Justice and come at me with the wrath of God on their side. :confused:

I still haven't seen any evidence or proof that I have stalked or harassed anyone. I have said Put up, or Shut Up and all you and the other two can come up with is Explain Yourself! So I ask again. Explain myself for WHAT? For posting on the board? My challenge STILL stands. Find and quote any post or PM that I have written in which I have attacked people with such hatred and cruelty as you have. Find it. Quote it. Post it. THEN ask me to explain why I said what I said. Just because Lisa, Dody, and 3Loves SAY its so, that doesn't make it so. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- And here's a reminder for you Dody... Formal & FINAL WARNING! After recent events exhibited by some LBT members the Moderators (with Alex, owner) permission have decided to post this Formal and FINAL WARNING that personal attacks, inappropriate behavior, name calling, excessive cursing, disregard for the Rules & Guidelines, and like postings whether in a Private Message or in a Thread WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. With the next incident the member WILL BE BANNED without warning or notification. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it really necessary to start trying to degrade my marriage simply because you can't come up with one legitimate thing against me? Have you grown weary of calling me a degenerate, an alcoholic, and a drug addict? Now you must stoop so low as to make these kinds of hateful statements? Go on Dody. Show us all why you hate me so much. Pull up things your genius daughter copied and pasted with such brilliance and SHOW US what I ever did to you to make you respond with such venom and cruelty. We are ALL waiting. PUT UP OR SHUT UP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well shoot. I gave in and posted Lisa's PM to me ~again~ because of this post from Dody, but then I got this really sweet PM from a very nice lady here on LBT who asked me to please not respond and to please take of the PM. So, once again, I have done that. I do slip now and then and respond to these hurtful and very personally insulting attacks, but then I realize that I don't want to be like them, so I delete and try to move on. God bless. Susan

Cooooolloonnn bllllllooooowww!

It interests me, Diva. Please feel free to continue.

Ok, um.. I only have one thing to say now..

I needed that laugh today!!

Im STILL laughing so hard I cant breathe. Yes, Dody, I was drink at the same time. LOL
