*slim*

Congrats Susan. I am happy for you.

So did I! I laughed hysterically for two days! My family thought I was nuts sitting there laughing at the computer.

Thanks for the info. Congrats on your surgery!

I just called my local GNC to ask about their Muscle Milk pricing. The guy that answered told me that their Whey Biolic Extreme tastes better than Muscle Milk. Have any of you ever tried it? Did you like it?

That is awesome! Yay you!:thumbup:

You have to wonder how this has already affected the six at home. I just can't imagine putting my child through something like for personal gain.

My son is a preemie. He was born at 28 weeks. I can only say that it was really tough taking care of him when he came home from the hospital, and I only had one. I cannot imagine that this woman could EVER take care of those children in any decent manner. I would have dropped on my knees and kissed the ground that the person walked on had they come to me and offered me a free home and care for my son. Trying to keep him in a healthy environment was hard. Even with my hard work, he still had RSV and pneumonia as a baby. Taking care of a preemie is very difficult. To think that....person... would turn down the assistance that her CHILDREN would need just to take advantage of tv show offers is down right criminal!

You did a great recap! :cool2: I obviously went to the wrong doctor. I never got that light. Then when I had my tubal, it went right back to the way it was before. :thumbup:

Welcome back! I mentioned you in a post several pages back. There has been too much to recap. I am glad that you are back safely, and that you had fun.:thumbup:

Been there. Pork no longer agrees with me at all. I was able to get it down, but it caused the most awful heartburn. It doesn't even matter how I cook it.

Hmmm. I hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks. I wish that my procedure had worked. I had my procedure done 5 years ago, and I have yet to really miss a period except right after surgery. I would LOVE to miss some!:party:

I feel so left out! You all have to leave facebook and come back to LBT!***tapping foot*** Speaking of tapping, when is Tap due back from her trip? PJTP-when you all started losing weight, did your SO start acting more amorous? If so, did you resent it?

:wink::thumbup:

Thankfully, we do have separate checking accounts. I am just going to see how things go. He knows how I feel about it. I am just going to wait and see.

I thought it was time for us to start that single September thread. I hope that everyone is doing well. Let's meet here instead of several threads. It should make it easier for us to keep up with each other.

Congrats on your weight loss! I can completely relate with the sinus infection. I had a head cold last week. I had to drink warm liquids through the day. Thankfully, I only had one day that I felt completely full in my pouch (from sinus drainage). That was the first day on warm liquids. I am glad that you are better now. I am going on Tuesday for another fill. Hopefully, this will get me to the sweet spot to help me with my remaining hunger. Keep up the good work!

I just thought I would report that the chicken thighs cooked in the salsa did the trick for me and chicken. The chicken was moist. It was so good. My family thought it was great. I couldn't tell them that the idea came from here because DH is scared of anything that might be considered diet food (even though it isn't diet). I fixed spanish rice (I didn't eat that) to go with it. I sprinkled a little lf cheese on top. I will be making this again. Thanks GusGus for mentioning chicken thighs. I will be using those from now on.:wink:

Which is why I know it can't get better. :thumbup::cool:

I am so sorry for this family situation. I know that has to be hard to hear that she has been doing terrible things to those children. You will be in my thoughts.

She is only moving in this weekend. It is just a gut instinct based on how close she is moving and her monetary situation that have me concerned. DH had already been sneaking her money while she was living with her sister when her money needs were much less. Now she is moving away from the sister with no job and only the son's disability checks as income. I just don't have confidence in that situation.

Kat-Sorry to hear about the fire and the mess. I know that is frustrating.

Thank you Kat. I have to say that your responses are always so well thought out. I think you are right about it. I will try to keep that in mind. I am holding my tongue right now. He knows how I feel. I guess I will just have to wait and see how it plays out.

Yep. Apparently, even though his mom treats him like crap and is using him, I am not allowed to talk about his mama. I guess even at this late stage in the game, he is still trying to win her approval. She treats him different from his brother and sister. She really treats him like he isn't her child, but when it comes time for her to need something, she calls him. It sucks. She is NEVER going to be the mother that he seems to want her to be. She is just going to keep bleeding him dry. I am not going to let her suck my life

Amen BG! You are SO right about her. You have a great day!

I am so sorry that your family is going through that. That is tough. Thanks again everyone for the support. It helps so much to be able to vent the anger part here so that I can attempt to talk rationally to DH about this mess. I have put my feelings out there to him. He isn't happy, but I am not going to accept this. SNT-thankfully, I don't have room for MIL if/when she gets evicted.
