Well then, we must punish him. Severely!

HOLY SHIT, those were REAL?? I just remember sipping my coffee and then feeling a bit... dizzy... and hazy. YOU SLIPPED ME A RUFIE, didn't you?? YOU BEOTCH!!!

Holy cow, me either!! I dodged the camera constantly -- CLOTHED! You mean somebody PURPOSELY took nekked pics of themselves?? What scares the crap outta me is they'll end up in somebody's LBT album. I already see WAAAAY too many post-op belly shots. Makes the coffee go down slooowly first thing in the morning.

Okay, so is HH being nice to Donna, the one who keeps changing her board name? Because he has STRICT ORDERS that he can't be nice to anybody else but Monkey and myself. I told him so when I had my stiletto heel in his back while wearing my dominatrix outfit. Yes, the latex one. Still too big to find it worthwhile to kill a whole cow just for me and my leather fetish. But one day. One day, Bessie will be cupping my ta-tas.

Omg, one should NEVER be nekkid while hyped up on coffee! Don't ask how I know. I was made to pinkie swear that I would never tell that story. Ever. Again.

The voices in your head, darling. Do what they say.

Did Jesus return???

Whip the possum. Hmmm, sounds like some sort of kinky game that HH or plain would be at the center of.

Very true. I just mentioned that elsewhere that it IS August and some are where I was nine months ago. The hardest part for me was not chewing anything for a month. THAT was the worst, somehow...

Well, they are newly banded. Makes 'em cranky.

Okay, is that some sort of sexual reference? :biggrin: Cuz we don't tolerate that here unless I'm involved in some way.

LOL, obviously not if you're an August bandster.

Some things are just too good to pass up. And I wasn't the one who started picking at this thread (no pun intended) again. I said my piece, the OP stated hers, and some who got their feelings hurt choose to keep this going.

Start drinking heavily. It'll not only begin to get funny, it'll make sense too.

Thank you. I mean, REALLY?? pureed LASAGNA? I seriously thought somebody was kidding. It was once I realized it wasn't a joke that I replied WHY it's wrong to do. The OP seems to understand where I was coming from, which is what matters.

You are absolutely right, not every response works for every person. Which also means not every response of, "Aww, it's okay," works for every person either. Tough love DOES work for me, and it works for others as well. There was nothing wrong in what I said or how I said it. Maybe the way you took it was at issue. As for having been "fat all my life," that is not the case. I haven't even been fat half my life.

That's fantastic, Cherish! Congrats on your surgery, btw. As for weightloss at THIS point -- if it stalls, do NOT freak. Any weight lost during the healing phase is a bonus. It is not the focus. Just keep that in the back of your mind if you don't see the scale moving early on as much as you'd like. I knew before surgery that it would behoove a person like me to also utilize therapy -- specifically eating-disorder focused -- but I didn't locate a therapist until just recently, nearly nine months after my surgery. I started seeing some old habits happening in me and I didn't like it. I have some type of "thing" that would always happen about 6-7 months out when dieting where I would slacken or fall off the wagon altogether -- eating badly, eating out more, not exercising -- and I KNOW this about myself. It started to happen, and instead of letting it swallow me up, I found somebody and decided to get back onto the couch. Good luck with your journey. We all must remember that that's what this is -- a journey, not a race. Losing the "diet mentality" can be hard to shake.

Not you, employers. lol

Ebony, congrats on the second second interview! As for not getting back with us -- yeah, wth is that all about?

I will pray that things go smoothly for you, hon. And my voices... well... sometimes they tell me to put HeadHunter's dirty drawers on my head and dance the Macarena while playing a ukelele. It's very bad indeed.

August 2009 Bandsters, heading is 3 days out.

Yellow snow...

Or that...

I'd shoot for that extra-strength jock spray. Have you SEEN her head?

Oh, absolutely! See? You're learning? And they said you were simple.
