Green: is your hubby retired too?

Hey guys....check this out!!! LOL It's a good video of the "Orillia Song"....(tongue in cheek, I hope!). Thought some of you might appreciate this (ahem....Cloe!) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp_zyuo0W2o]YouTube - Orillia Song[/ame]

Oh...and I just realized, your band date is V. day!!!! That is awesome; what a great loving gift to give to yourself!!!

Hi becca & welcome to the Canuck corner. :welcome: Congrats on your band date. There is lots of info on here (not just the Canuck thread) so research away and use the "search" button also if you have a specific question....you are bound to come up with responses to the same or similar questions you may have. I'm sure if you have specific questions, everyone will also be happy to respond. Good luck on your journey!

I know that song well Mookie. I used to think about my dad and I during that song too and think, "man I'm gonna have regrets one day when he dies" (assuming he goes first!). But then (several yrs ago) I tried my damndest and it didn't work and I finally comprehended that it "takes two" to make it work; it just can't be one-sided. So, I finallly reached a point where I realized (& accepted) that I did all I could at my end; nothing was left. In other words, if he dies tomorrow (knock on wood) I will be at peace; I will have no regrets; knowing that there was nothing else I could do.....it was his choice/decision....unconscious or otherwise. It felt good to get to that point.

I second that??????? helllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..... :paranoid

Green....even though you didn't RSVP in time....will they still not let you go? Have you inquired? Hey....happy belated retirement!!!! Whatcha gonna do wit yerself?

Tis never too late Green!

yup...call the clinic. Likely no reason you can't take immodium but don't forget....as was said.....liquids in/liquids out!!!!

Oh...and I forgot to mention.....someone had taken a photo of us together with our arms around each other and I still have that photo....it is the ONLY photo I have of us that we are both smiling in and look happy to be together .....(sadly, all the others tell quite a different story).

Mr Yoda makes an incredibly delicious margarita cake......very boozy but yummy too! I don't drink anymore......so yeah, that includes tequila!!! (it's different when its in cake!) LOL. My LAST ever tequila drinking night.....I was in my early 20s and somehow my Dad wound up at the same pub I was at. He didn't know I drank and you have to understand we NEVER got along (and even now we merely tolerate one another)....anyways, so I had been doing tequila ALL night and was positively falling down drunk (but a very happy fun drunk) with about 30 of my closest friends and in walks my dad with all his cronies (he was also feeling pretty much no pain).....imagine my (our) surprise when we drunkedly bumped into one another. At first I was completely HORRIFIED and after that fleeting sober moment he and I probably had the best time together that we have ever had before then (& since). Sad that that is what it took. But anyways, the next day I thought I had gone to hell.....so never drank tequila again!

I don't think my sister would "be there" for me if I called. That is a great question Wheezy.....I wonder if my sister would pick me as a friend.....really...she shouldn't, we have absolutely NOTHING in common and it wouldn't bother me if she didn't.....the odd thing though is that I don't think my sister even realizes the extent of how different we are and the extent of how crazy she makes me (I would never hurt her by bringing it up)....she is also a little "ditzy" in some ways so maybe that is why she doesn't notice that our relationship is not normal.

Glad u are hangin' in there Wheezy!

Mandi.....if I was able to fit in the XL (& they were "loosish" to boot) then you definitely can....those ones were like pull up cargo pants with a foldy down waist thing - lots of zippers and pockets and they came in S, M, L and XL. I'm in a size 18 pant right now. In fact, last week I bought a pair of great jeans at Old Navy....18 Petite (& I still need to roll the bottoms up!!). They fit well. Depends on the pant though....I have a couple of dressier pants in size 18 and tho I can wear 'em fine they are pretty loose; yet the 16 would probably be too snug! Tho I like some of the clothes in The Gap.....and even tho one day I may be able to fit into a lot of 'em, it won't be a shop I go to willingly.....(we only went in to look for a scarf for Mr Yoda)....I find their stuff just WAAAAAY too over-priced.....

Good to hear; I'm sure you're very relieved!

Just stick with it Doriana; if you got thru the pre-op diet you can get through this!!! Take it one day (one hour if you have to) at a time!!! Sooner than you think you will be on mushies and then you can have refried Beans mixed with salsa and sour creme an cheese (that's what I liked during that stage!)l. You can do it!!!! Set a good example for Mr Doriana!

Lol.....

....hey mandi...we really ARE spiritual mates.....I can't STAND the taste (or the thought) of black licorice.....even the smell makes me want to heave!!! LOL So, I've always stayed far far away from jager.... now....tequila....different story!! (but we won't even go there!!). :rolleyes

Thanks Loriely!! If I'm doing great....than you are doing FAAAANTASTIC!!!! Holy crap man......lookit you go!!! :clap2:

.....oh and the best part....Mr Yoda and I went to the store "The Gap" tonight to get him a scarf to match his new jacket (black and orange!) and I saw a really neat pair of cargo pants....I tried on the XL and they not only fit but they were a little big!!!! OMIGAWD!!!! I fit into a pair of pants from The GAP!!!!!!!!! I didn't get 'em tho (I ain't droppin' $79 on THOSE!) but it was enough just to know that they fit......did I mention it was at the GAP????!!!!!!! Whoooooa Nelly!!!
