Robin, I mean this in the kindest way possible, so believe me when I say that I am not intending to insult you. That said, are you joking with us? If not, you aren't exactly being the best spokesperson for large families.

Nope, just gave me prescriptions for Keflex (the NP said that it was probably staph, but I couldn't have Bactrim because I am allergic to sulfa drugs), 800 mg Ibuprofen, and an antibiotic ointment, plus orders to do hot saltwater compresses four times a day. You have no idea how much better! I can actually turn over at night without wanting to scream. And I can walk! The bad thing is that I haven't shaved down there in ages, since I can't see without a mirror and I have horrible hand/eye coordination when it comes to shaving with mirrors. This thing just appeared literally within 3 hours. I went to bed with no pain and no evidence of a lump and woke up a couple hours later with the damn thing. I am really worried about my surgery now. It would be just my luck, considering how everything else has gone, that my surgery would be postponed because I can't get rid of an infection caused by an ingrown hair.

I think so. From what I've heard, my surgeon puts her patients on a 2 week low-carb/low-fat diet before surgery.

Well, apparently not, since you lumped Bubble in with the liberals. Or was there another "liberal" you were referring to when you made your comment "It's a new show! "When Liberals Attack . . . Each Other!"?

I was just over at OH and learned that if you start a thread, you can have the mods remove any post that you want removed, even if there weren't any rules broken. That makes no sense to me. The whole point of a message board is to get multiple points of view on topics. If you want to hear only your own point of view, why join? So I just want to thank the guys that run this place for being great moderators. You guys make sure that the peace is kept without going too far and squashing any opinions. You only close threads that are obviously beyond hope of redemption and you don't delete posts just because someone else doesn't like them. So, kudos to you! :clap2::biggrin1:

I can't believe the baby's mother. She's just as nutty as her husband. I hope she is never allowed to be in the same room as her baby ever again.

And before anyone starts yowling, NO, I don't think his remark was appropriate. But the remark that came right before it from Musicalmomma was not, either. But for some reason, everyone seems to just ignore hers in favor of attacking Mark's remark.

Where I stand, Mark wasn't the first one to make an over the top, sarcastic comment. Or is no one noticing that? Musicalmomma was the first. I don't blame Mark at all for replying in the same sarcastic manner. I would have been highly offended by her post and would have responded in the same manner. She can suggest that we would support the deaths of Christians just because of their religion, yet Mark is the only one being vilified? Give me a freaking break.

For once, Funny, we completely agree.

Sorry, I've never been able to drink coffee. I think it smells wonderful, but it tastes disgusting to me. The only way I've ever been able to drink it was with lots of sugar and lots of cream. Although, I LOVE chocolate covered espresso beans.

Yep, that's the wacko.

Yep! I am so thrilled. I was expecting to have surgery in late July, which would only give me a few days before my insurance changed on August 2nd, but I guess the surgeon's office wanted to give me a little bit of extra time.

Ditto. I read some of the old threads (from back when they were apparently banning people left and right). PLEASE don't get that crap started again. It had to be THE most annoying shit to read through. Made me want to gouge my eyes out.

There's only a few people who I think deserved it more, one of which is that nutso that leads the "God hates fags!" group. His name isn't coming to me at the moment, but I think that his existance is massive proof that there isn't a God.

Mine said that a small hiatal hernia wasn't a problem.

I've never been able to eat much of anything that has been sweetened with artificial sweeteners. They have a really weird taste to me. For example, when I drink iced tea, I can only use enough sweetener to cut the bitterness. I can't use enough to make it actually taste sweet or the strange flavor comes through. The closest I can come to describing the flavor is that it tastes like metal. The artificial sweeteners (doesn't matter which kind, they all taste like it) taste like I'm sucking on a dime. I've just gotten to where I like drinking my tea with no sweetener in it. I love sweet iced tea (I'm a southerner, of course I do!), but only if it is sweetened with sugar. Otherwise, I can't tolerate it. That's one reason why I never drink Crystal Lite or other sugar-free drinks or even eat sugar-free foods that are made with Splenda. They've got a funky aftertaste, and in many cases, they're TOO sweet.

I hope not. Nuttiness like that runs in the family. The rest of them are probably just as wacked out as the parents.

I would look online. There are lots of online stores that sell really pretty lingerie for decent prices.

Do you have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc? If you do, that could work to your advantage. I was approved by my insurance and will be having surgery on July 3rd (yay!), and I have a BMI under 40 and no comorbidities other than prediabetes, high cholesterol and trigycerides, and PCOS. But, I have a very severe family history of heart disease and diabetes, and my mom had to have both knees replaced because of her obesity.

I love really natural looking jewlery. You know, turquoise, carnelian, agate, coral, stuff like that. I also really like pearls, mainly black or golden ones. Although, a stately white pearl necklace is beautiful. I like some of the colored gemstones, like my birthstone peridot, but most of them just look cold to me. I am not a fan of diamonds, mainly because I can't get over how inflated the price is. Emeralds are rarer than diamonds, yet diamonds are a whole lot more expensive than emeralds. All this is moot, though, because I never wear jewelry. I hate the feel of something on my skin. It makes me feel very hot, for some reason. I can barely wear my watch. If I get hot, I have to take it off, and that makes me automatically feel much cooler.

I saw it today and it was very cute. Like Nathalie said, it wasn't as good as the first one, but still worth paying to see it. At least, for a matinee. I don't know if I would pay to see a regular showing.

I love my Sony Vaio. I've never had good experiences with Dell laptops, and their customer service sucks monkey balls. I've had misgivings about HP ever since they merged with Compaq because I used to have a Compaq desktop that completely died within 3 years of buying it (and I had to have the monitor replaced within a week because it just stopped working). All in all, though, if I was buying a new laptop today, I'd get another Vaio. I just love it.

Get this, they arrested a student at Falwell's university because he had exposives and was apparently planning to "make sure protesters don't interupt his funeral."

Not all licenses have your weight on it, though. Mine (Tennessee) doesn't.

My mom was initially upset, then was supportive after she went to the seminar with me. Eventually, though, my dad (who doesn't like it at all) got to her and she is not very happy with my decision now. She had the nerve to tell me to not have the surgery, but pretend I did, and lose weight that way. I was literally thinking "WTF? Are you that stupid?" Now, I just don't discuss it with her much. She's too negative and life's too short to stress myself out over her opinion. I mean, yes, it would be wonderful if she was happy for me, but it's not necessary. What's important is that I'm happy with my decision.
