Hello.. So what’s the next big adventure Lisa?

I’m planning my summer and keep using Disneyland for blackmail. It’s got Hunter out of night-time pull-ups and he's wiping his own ass:clap2:

Is the bash for sure the last weekend of Aug? I can try to use it as an excuse to buy more toys?

Everything is justified! I’m saving my money

You'all can come to my pad...we're de-winterizing the boat next week and it's been raining for weeks. Lots of Water in the lake, surfs up!

I don't have any fun planned for 3 solid weeks (maybe I'll try that "sleep" stuff I hear people talking about.) End of month is Laughlin River Run (biker weekend at the river) then the following weekend is a Slumber retreat in San Diego, where I invited Penni to come to Sea World with my Slumber family.

Vera, one day we'll get there, but this paralegal thing keeps me tied to limited vacation hours. It's a vicious circle, how can I book parties when I have to work, and how can I work if I have to book parties? Most gals quit their full time jobs in their 2nd year of Slumber, and if I quit I give up a large percentage of my 401K money. DOH!

Yes, the bash is still on! Vera, I'd LOVE to come for a boat ride but my vaca days are all spent this year.

Paula, did I eat any Cajun food? Are you nuts? Uh, YES! I ate at Buba Gumps, plus fried catfish on Bourbon Street, plus we rode out to some really fun place where locals danced to a Cajun Band, where we ate some corn things that were Heavenly. And we ate crocodile and Dirty Debris Gumbo. I've eating crap called "southern food" here in Nevada, but ain't nuthin' like the grub down there!

Thats exactly what Mikes people in NC say. People try to imitate cajun food, but they just know have the knack. :biggrin1:

When my parents make gumbo, its takes them a full 6 hours of work. Stirring, chopping, adding, stirring, boiling, adding, simmering, adding more, stirring, stirring, stirring....

You ate CROC????? OMG. I actually havent tried that.

Ive had alligator, but never crocodile. Was it good? Did it taste like "chicken"?

Maybe I ate alligator??? Is there a diff between alligator and crocodile? I know we ate one of them though, and I know I need to know the next time you're making real gumbo. I never liked gumbo till I hate that garbage in New Orleans (they call it debris gumbo.) Sooo good!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
