*slim*

I hope that both of you start feeling better soon. Hopefully the virus will be short lived.

That is such an awful feeling. I worked 3rd shift just long enough for my body to get used to it. When it was time to go back to my regular schedule, I was screwed up. I would be wide awake at 3 when I knew I had to be up for work at 5. That was a bad few weeks. Now, I am up at 5 no matter what. I will get up, have my coffee, then go back to bed (on my off days).

Can I catch it? Do I need to come to KC to get it? I act older than my mom on most days. I am usually in bed by 8:30. I wanted to go to bed at 7 tonight, but I know that my family won't let me sleep.

You will do great!

As much as I hate my extremely high power bill because of the heat, I am not ready for winter just yet.

Morning (almost afternoon)! You guys had me looking crazier than normal laughing at my work computer! KC, I agree with Beth, you fit in very well around here! I am so glad to come on here and actually have something to read. Plain, I hate to admit it, but...you've been missed. Hopefully no one heard me say that. Ebony-cyber (((((hugs))))). SNT-stop being a stranger! I don't facebook, so I miss yall when you disappear like that.

I think I may try the pouch test to help me with my carb consumption. It is killing me! I really love pasta too, but haven't had any since my last fill. I am going to have to see if my health food store sells those noodles that you are talking about. Carbs are the devil!

Wow, you guys had a busy day. Ebony,I am praying for you. I am also PISSED off for you. It is obvious that she has it out for you, but I cannot fathom why. You are a very bright, talented woman. Don't let that woman win by thinking your a failure. You are not the failure, she is! I can only hope that she hasn't said anything to your potential employers to make them feel that you are not employable. She seems that she would be just the b*tch to do something like that. KC-I figured you worked in a hospital setting. I would not have guessed ICU. I would have said ER. Tap, Beth, G4E-I hope that you are all feeling better (neck pains, tight bands, back pain, etc). Luluc-your yard (mini city) is huge! You could fit my entire neighborhood (including the nearby golf course) in your backyard! Fanny, Glouc-there is no way I could have chocolate near me. Actually, the last 30 or so pounds that I gained right before deciding to get banded were from eating chocolate. We had a candy dish(more like desk) that had nothing but Reese's, Hershey's, Snickers, and suckers. I was responsible for making sure it was re-filled (sure, make the fat chick by the candy). I finally told them no more! We haven't had candy since then. I have no will power when it comes to stuff like that.

Hi everyone! It is coffee time. I hope everyone has a great day! I also hope that those of you having band problems are feeling better today.

I almost spit my coffee. ROFL What she said, Fanny! Although I didn't know that, it still works for me! :sad: Morning (evening Fanny) everyone! You all were busy last night!

I am glad that you were able to get a new band. I do believe I would be one of those people that would gain if I ever lost my band. I am glad that you are doing well after rebanding. There are about 4 of us that post in this thread on a fairly regular basis. Drop in anytime!

Yay!:thumbdown:

Your neighbor sounds like a real piece of work. Rather than parenting her child, she is acting as though you are in the wrong. She is in for a rude awakening (both mother and child). That child is going to cross the wrong person. The child is going to write a check that her mother's butt can't cash. When I was growing up, you didn't talk while the adults were talking. My aunts and uncles could whip my behind just as well as my mom (some of my older cousins could too:crying:). They just didn't play that stuff. I am trying to train mine the same way that I was trained.:thumbdown:

Kat-I say block the crazy ex. I am not sure what to tell you with the letters. I would continue to ignore the creepy neighbor. Luluc-first, I wouldn't let my child behave that way. If something happened to your vehicle, I would have offered to pay for the damages. I sure as heck (as a parent)would not have sat around and allowed it to happen again. She does need to check the child. If she doesn't want other people to do it, then she needs to get the little bugger in line.

Hi Corliss! You should visit us more often. If you don't mind my asking, why did you have to have your band removed?

Hi everyone! I hope that everyone is doing well. It was pretty busy at work today, so I wasn't able to get on here to check in. Beth-I hope that you get some good news on the job front. heartfire-I am glad that your DDog is much better. tap-I hope that the alarm went off very soon after you posted about it. I don't think I could just sit there and listen to it. I would have unplugged it.

PJTP-I am not sure what DS is buttering me up for, but he told me that I look pretty good. He even mentioned that I looked thinner. It made me feel good because of a little situation from Friday where a mean spirited "Christian" woman (I used the quotes because she is one of those PG Christians that turn you off religion)that I work with on occasion told me that I needed to go on a diet. WTF??? :cursing:Thirty minutes later, she pretended that she didn't remember saying any such thing, but we both know that she said it. I wasn't even sure how to respond without possibly putting my job in jeopardy by hitting her in her fat mouth. Needless to say, hearing my son tell me that I was looking good made me feel better.

Good to see you back and doing well Craig. Enjoy your vacation at the beach!

I heartily agree. It takes a special type of person to put their lives on the line to help others whether that is police, fire fighters, or military. I am grateful to all of them.

I wish I had been able to find the generic ones. At the time that I bought them, my wallyworld didn't have the generic kind. Thankfully, I had a $3 coupon for the big bottle of centrum.
