Welcome to LBT. Sorry to hear about your foot, I hope it heals fast.

Hi Steph, and welcome. We are glad to have you join us. You will find a ton of great support here to help you as you progress through your banding journey.

I agree with it being legal and taxed as well. I would just request that they enact laws as to where they may be located, as I sure as heck don't want them in my friendly, family oriented community.

3am, ugh, I was happily curled up sound asleep in my bed at that time. In fact, I slept in late again today, and really, really enjoyed it. I got the house cleaned and laundry done yesterday, which means I have nothing I have to do today but relax and watch the race. I love Sunday's!!

That is great, so it was worth getting up early on a Saturday for then!

I just now woke up, got to sleep in a bit and it was wonderful. But, alas, now I have to get off my lazy booty and clean my house. I am curious about the sour cream apple pie as well.

Wow, Mac, that is a lot going on. I hope you get better quick. Oh, and you know Plain is going to have to weigh in on that whole "freak of nature" thing, right? I am sure he won't be able to pass that one up. :eek:

Sounds like a great plan she, I know what I am doing in the morning now.

I think the bottom line is, everyone enjoyed this thread when the topic was being debated with facts and science as their primary points for their argument. Perhaps, if we can go back to proper debate without calling people murderers, attacking each other for their beliefs, etc. we can keep this long-standing LBT thread open.

Ok guys, I think we need to stop getting quite so personal as it looks like we are attacking the person instead of the idea now. Please get back on track so I do not have to lock this thread. Thanks.

Mac! I hope you are ok, your post worried me. Babygrl, we all feel your pain, believe me, we know exactly what you are talking about.

There are places that still have Sizzler's?

Ok, then, everyone.... DO IT!!!!

Hey, Plain put his clothes back on!

Nope, it is most definitely not you. Hey, LJM, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!! Oh, are we talking about the same person? I think we are. If we are then... DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!! :thumbup::thumbup::smile2:

I drink my strawberry daquiris through a straw.

Oh, and I need to vent. Someone is really, really getting on my last nerve. But, I will be good and keep my mod hat on and do my best to behave myself.

Duh, of course gravy is a food group!!!

First off, I think every candidate that runs for office makes a lot of promises that they are very unlikely going to be able to keep. They say what they have to say to win the votes of the American people. And I don't care if Obama, McCain or Mickey Mouse won the election, you will not see this country turned around over night. It took us eight long years to get where we are and it is going to take a long time to get things right again. As for the whole religious aspect, again, I believe that should be kept out of politics. Not all of us believe in your God or want the head of our country basing all of his decisions upon some book that has been written by who knows what authors based upon what beliefs that have changed numerous times over the centuries. There are a lot of people who do work but even though they do, they cannot afford health insurance. Many companies health insurance packages, such as non-profits, are very expensive and not very good. Many people do work, and they work very hard. Some were not able to go to college due to personal circumstances that you may never understand, but they do work and they work hard. So, because they don't make as much money, they are not deserving of health insurance? I am sorry, but I believe everyone should be afforded the health care that they need, regardless of whether they are wealthy, poor, disabled, an adult, child, black, white, red or pink. And, I don't have any problem with helping others who are less fortunate than me. In fact, that is what I do for a living. I work for a company that helps others who are less fortunate. And not everyone is that way because they are lazy. There is a lot more to it than if you don't work, you don't eat. What kind of God is that, that doesn't have a problem with seeing people go hungry? I thought he was all loving? Hmmm, I just don't get it, I really don't.

I need to cut out the white carbs, I think that would definitely help my weight loss. My problem is my family is a traditional southern meat and potatoes kind of family, and so am I. Maybe I will make that my New Year's resolution. As for BBK being at the top, it wasn't meant to offend anyone by not having her there anymore. Many members felt there should be more representatives of LBT than just one person. In the next few weeks, you will see Alex post some information in which members can send him their before and after's so we can begin featuring our own members at the top on a rotating basis. I think this will be awesome.

Wow, where did you get racist out of her post? I didn't detect any racist comments in her post. I have read a lot of her posts, and never once have I seen her make a racist comment.

Ohhh, don't worry we will make sure there is plenty left for you. :smile2:

Actually, seeing LJM can't have it until February, I will take her mudslide.
