Terri, I just ordered a queen size quilt pattern from ConnectingThreads.com. Its called Parisian Nights. I have been looking for a quilt for Ange & Evan and this was in American Patchwork & Quilting, August issue. I fell in love with it, the minute I saw it. They had a promo code for 20% off $51 no shipping fee.yippee I couldn't buy all the fabric, backing & stuff for that price.

Sounds great! Good price and I like Connecting Threads fabric. Did you order the backing material too?

I forgot to tell you what I did at the gym this morning. One of the exercises was to take this big band and do lunges with them. You basically stand on the band with your front foot and then stretch it out over your head with your arms stretch out out really wide and then drop your back knee. Well this girl had the band slip out of one of her hands and smack her square in the side of the head....omg did it ever hurt. I had a welt down my left ear and neck and my left arm. Now it's bruised. Good thing I was using the red band that has lower resistance and not the black band. I would have knocked myself out had it been the black band.

Long story Michele, but I have been there on a boat and the handle hit me in the face and knocked be down the stairs. Two bruised ribs and a black eye. You won't catch me using those suckers again!

Storm passed through here and no ponds in my backyard... watching with angst the double ot for the Chicago Blackhawks. I don't normally watch but when my boys are in the finals, I have to. ;-)

Michelle, oh my... that sounds horrible. You too, Terri. That sounds like something I would do!

echo, echo... oops

Diane, so sorry about things coming to a head but maybe it was "rock bottom" so things can start looking up for you now. I pray that it all comes together and you and your family can make it all work. You are an amazing woman.

You almost had me ready to try this. Can't afford to knock myself out though.

You poor thing, that really had to hurt. Are you going to try it again?

About the mosquitos, to wet and nasty to see if it works. I stepped outside for 2 seconds, saw a flash of lightening and came back in. You don't mess around with lightening in FL.lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
