I don't even know what I want to do for Sept.... still got a few more days to decide! So is this a September goals AND Wheezy thread? Oh... I don't know if we can do a MIX! That's craaazy. Cloe, I bet you'll be gettin' plenty of workout-ness with the lamby's! How about a weight goal?! 8 lbs? C'mon!

Good luck Neenagh!!! See you on the other side! :hug:

Oooooh SIX baby lambys!?! That's so cool. What does ultrasound-ing do other than tell you how many they're gonna have? Is that all you wanna know? So you know how many to expect? How many rams does it take to knock up all those sheep? LOL, that sounds like a dirty joke! evil evil McDonalds! Oh how I miss it! LOL, not really... I'm surviving. I've kept up my pact with myself to not have McD's or BK until November! (so far!)

OMG... that's too funny. That'll teach you to not spit slime from moving vehicles! I've now started making sure I have an empty drink cup of some kind in my 'console'.

Yes.... Buffie does need to come around more!! Cloe, how do you KNOW that the lambing starts this weekend? They look uncomfortble, like they're ready to pop? But how do you know it will be this weekend? Could it be Thursday? Or Tuesday? (I'm totally serious... do you 'induce' them, maybe?)

Congrats to him, loriely!!

And here are the results: I am just in from Vine Floral!!! Thanks to everyone who called in and contributed to the flowers for Marie. Because of the overwhelming response it was suggested that we go with a "Planter" with flowering plants in it. Everyone who contributed will be put on the card by name. There were 14 or 15 of us! I am not sure if it was 14 orders and 15 names or 13 orders and 14 names. Here is the breakdown We had $180.09 to spend before taxes. $29.95 I put towards a wall hanging/decoration plaque. Gosh I can't remember the wording right now but it was pretty much about finding happiness and living our dreams. I will make a point of getting a good shot of it on Friday along with the planter. I just saw it and thought of Marie! The remaining $150.00 will go towards the flowering dish garden that the florist assures me will not be in a basket but rather a nice planter. She says that it will be big! LOL I might have to find a big strong man to come and help me carry it in on Friday. The card will be a basic "best wishes and good luck" sort of thing. Thanks to everyone! So there ya go. $180 is pretty good! Stay tuned this coming weekend, for the pictures, hopefully!

I don't know... but I know what antipAsto is. HA! It's kind of like a dip, I guess... you buy it in jars... it has... like... black olives, pearl onions, tuna, tomato stuff, green beans, some other veggies... it's kind of sweet, and perfecto on Breton crackers! These fools don't seem to know a good thing when they taste it. LOL Well anyways, *I* like it. If you belong to Costco, and ever see some there, buy it and try it! I say Costco, cause I've never tried any other good stuff, besides someone's homemade antipasto.

Oh no... I'm not thinking of coming there for fills. I'm just wondering, cause I know of a lady who's *thinking* about it, and was just curious, so I could tell her, if she wanted to know!

antipAsto!

Yay! That's awesome! I can't wait either! When I called, he said I was only the 4th so far, but I'm hoping there's LOTS! He said he thought it was going to be huge, so let's hope

Aww... sorry to hear that Maria. At least you gave it a try though Take it easy next time, and feel better soon! I'm not gonna get to wow you guys with another huge loss on Wed... sorry but happy to say. It's looking like it's gonna be more of a 'what I was REALLY hoping for' loss. Anyone else love antipasto? Mmmmmm... I had some for lunch today, but it just wasn't as good as the stuff I used to get from Costco. I just might have to make a Costco run one of these days and pick up some goodies.

More questions, Paula! Now that I look at your signature... what size band do you have? Cause I see "1.65cc", so I'm thinking that MUST be a 10cc band... BUT... that's a really small amount for that band, and quite a bit for a 4cc band!

Hi Paula! Great job so far! So, that's 30-35 days after surgery, or before? Or both? Does he have a pre-op diet? What's it like? Mind me asking how much her charges? Are fills (for life) free? Thanks! Mandi

Actually... I think Dr. Leung is very good... from what I remember. He's 'old school' like Dr's Joffe and Yau, and been doing lapbands almost as long as they have. I think he'd be a good choice. BUT.... you would get in quicker in Ontario, if that's a factor for you.

I hope everyone who's wanting to do it, has, or does soon! Only a few more hours (I imagine) left. I called mine in at lunch!

It is smaller (1bdrm), for the same price as we're paying now. We thought we'd be all for moving into the 'nicer' places when one comes up... BUT, evern though we have almost nothing to move, we just don't feel like doin' it again! This place is good. Ha! It's an optical illusion! But thank you guys :hug:

Well... I've not been successful with the exercise part of what I wanted to do. I won't make excuses.. I just hate it. I didn't want to. That's why! *jumps behind a tree waiting for the sh!t to fly* LOL But I'll be able to say I lost as much as I wanted to.... and a tad more. Next month, I'm sticking with purely a weight challenge for myself. Cloe, you've still got a week, I'll cross my fingers for you on those last 5 pounds!

Yeah... ALL weekend! What a pain! I had to talk to my boyfriend instead of coming here.... sheesh!

Thanks Wheezy... I'm feeling better and better everyday! Today for lunch, I managed not even half of a small bowl of seafood chowder.. My friend actually has her heart set on getting a Newfoundland-er... guess it's "go big or go home"! LOL How are you feeling now? Feeling like going back to work? Hopefully! I will definitely be checking out your puppy Mandi

There you go... those are probably your best bet! And Welcome!! Mandi

OK, well... even if Cloe, you're the only one one this board who does it, that's ok! If anyone's interested, here's the info. I wish I could have posted earlier, but this is the first time all weekend the board has worked for me!!! If you want in on this flower arrangement. You must call this place tomorrow ONLY, and ask for Warren or Valerie. Tell them you are contributing to the flowers for Marie Pead. Vine Floral 1 800 710 9054 Tell them however much you want to contribute. As much or as little as you want... anything will help get something bigger and better for her. They'll ask for your credit card info. Make sure you give them the name that you want put on her card. (just in case, say, your credit card is in your husbands name or something else) So after tomorrow, the amounts will be totalled, and this Jen girl, from the Cobourn/Mumford and canadianlapbanders group, will go to that florist, pick out something great, have it 'arranged', and then bring it herself to Marie on the 1st. She'll take pictures, so I'll make sure anyone who wants to see gets a copy by email. Alright, there you go. You have to do this tomorrow, and tomorrow only. It's a lot of work for the florist doing this for us, so they'll only take 'contributions' tomorrow. Thanks!

HA! There... changed! SOooooo anyways... I'm off to Moncton tomorrow morning to pick up my pal Lauren from the airport. She's starting work with me(us) on Monday. She *could* have an apartment in the 'complex' ... one of the one's *I* wanted... but she's thinking she'd like to look around a little, cause the fool wants a dog! I say fool, cause she is! For giving up (or considering) the nicest apartment she will find here... and for thinking about getting a dog, even if she does find one that allows dogs... she's going to be gone ALL day, every day, and unless she plans on getting an already trained, grown dog, that'll be tough. PLUS... if she moves anywhere else, she's gotta find a ride, or make me go out of my way to pick her up every day (until our work moves close to where almost everyone moved, because they told us we'd be down here in this area by September). Now it's looking like we'll be lucky to move buildings before Christmas. Anyways... I'm gonna try to talk some sense into her tomorrow after I pick her up at the airport. Wish me luck. Maybe I'm just jealous, cause she's passing up my dream apartment? Hmmmm... Oh yeah.. I also got SO much work done today. Even though we started our weeks 'quota' a day and a half late, I'll probably be done a day early, easily. But that just means that I'll likely have to just take everyone else's stuff, and help them out. DAMN. I'm doing really good now though. I really think I get it, finally. I think I'm the only one on my 'team' that does. AHHHHH! Anyways, talk to you guys tomorrow. And if I don't, have a good weekend!

LOL! NO! I'm not popping a zit. I keep seeing people with pictures, and I wanted one too!! I did go through about 3, to see if I could resize 'em to get them clearer. Yoda, you're making me self concious! ... now I have to change it!! AHHHH! First you think I'm posting dildo pictures, now I'm popping zits!

I don't even want to admit what I ate today! AM- tea! AM snack - coffee and then cheese and crackers (you know, Kraft "Handi-Snacks"?) lunch - another cheese and crackers :| dinner - 1/4 of a grilled cheese sandwich snack - a couple spoonfuls of ice cream another snack - real cheddar cheese and ranch dressing Oh man... I think I see a cheesy trend. That's just today, really! I don't do sooo much cheesy goodness everyday! I had chinese food last night, remember!? It's funny... I went to look in my cupboard for the name of what those cheese/cracker Snacks were called... and what did I see? CHEEZIES!!! I don't want 'em though. LOL I wonder why. I also had some milk tonight... yay, me!
