Hi everyone!!

I just thought I would "check in"...And ty Vegas Angel for letting everyone know I got computer problems.

My oldest son is back in town and I asked if I could borrow his lap top, so here I am!!:001_tongue:

But am trying to figure this thing out!! LOL

Got a question for everyone- I've bought 3 computers- all HP's........ and I have been thinking of getting a MAC... does anyone here use one> I;ve heard good things about MAC's as far as viruses, updates, etc. being a good thing and just having to learn how to use one.... And then I have heard things like they are too expensive, and the softwear you have to get from them etc.

Would just like to take my own lil survey here if anyone has a MAC if they like it???

I hope Santa is good to me and can find me something!!:thumbup1:

I know I don't want a lap top.......... I like my desk top.... and don't have the funds for both!!! ( would be nice tho! )

Anyway- finnally off work for 2 days but have to work the holiday and the day after etc..

I would like to wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving..... I know I have plenty to be thankful for this year..... and one of the things I am thanful for is finding all you wonderful friends here at VST!!

Hugs to all!!

Chancie

Chancie -

My brother SWEARS by the Mac - that is all they have in their household and it's true, they're never bothered by viruses. The IT guy at our office likes Mac as well, for the same reasons.

My desktop was a computer that my ex-husband built, and now I have an Acer laptop - I gave the desktop to my daughter-in-law and only use the laptop.

I saw in the paper today that on Friday morning from 5 am-11 am Wal-Mart is going to have an e-machine laptop for $198; of course, I'm sure there will be a line a mile long.

I hope Santa is good to you this year too!

Wishing you a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving, and giving thanks, too, that we've become "friends".

Windows 7 is giving Mac a run for its money, I hear. And, Macs cost more too. Friday is going to be crazy! Search the ads on Thursday, I bet you can find super deals.

I have been drooling over the macs for a while. I really, really want one. Unfortunately, it is not in the budget right now. I think I am going to get Windows 7 this weekend and get it on all of our laptops.

Chancie, I will put in a good word to Santa for you!

Chancie, I have a night shirt for you. It is red with big white letters saying: "wait santa I can explain" hahahaha

anyway, I love my lap top. Dell. and I have the dreaded Vista program. I have a desk top. HP. But just love the lap. ?? I am going to get an external mouse for the lap. Used one on my friends lap and made a huge difference in ease of operation. My friend carries this ex-mouse in a pink jeweled baggie like a cell phone. Too funny. I won't take it that far, but I am getting one.

In my area we have computer fairs once a month at the local fair grounds. great place to pick up a used lap. Great computer guys there also. Check your local College for deal referrals.

Sorry you have to work the holidays. We will be thinking of you, and praying you have a peaceful holiday anyway.

      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.
