The "DeLarla's Back" Fun Thread



Recommended Posts

After reading everyone's triumphs, I've decided I don't have a life, LOL, (just kidding). Just when I thought life was grand, I have to admit, even without all the above.....

Life is Great!

I closed down a bar in Austin, Texas listening to some funky jazz band. The lights came up, and down on the floor was Kenny Loggins. I shook his hand and he kissed my right cheek. Or was it the left? (damn beer).

I'll think of some more, but I promise my list isn't very long. Plus, I'm not telling my own Cowboy Secrets. Stuff hubby doesn't even know about. Some things you just need to keep yer mouth shut about, right?

Are these pictures posted here?

Will these pictures be with the dancing pictures?

I could just black myself out and leave my naked buddies to do all the public snow dancing...but where would I post them..? Maybe I should just start up a website of my own. ha

Some nice boys those Baldwins...Danny and Alec were my babysitters, I went to school with Steven and Billy. Ignore what you read about them in the papers, these are some nice guys who love their family, but most of all love their mom. .

They were filming a mini-series that I don't think ever aired; Romeo and Juliet: the murder mysteries or something similar. I ran into the blond Baldwin on a vacated lot. Is it really spelled with a "v"? Now I feel silly

Really incredible lists people!

What a great thread! Everyone has had such exciting and interesting adventures.

I went to high school with Emmanuel Lewis (Webster)

One of the Beastie Boys flirted with me when I was wayyyy to young to know how to flirt back, and before they were famous

I used to hitchhike regularly to the Rockaways

I've met Thomas Pynchon - twice

Caught a Ramones guitar pick, and gave it to a friend thinking I could get one again (what was I thinking???)

1) Lost 75 lbs!!! That's a new one (as of today), and it is the biggest thing in my life right now.

2) Moved to New Orleans. Most fearless thing I've ever done.

3) Lived in NYC for 4 years.

4) Took a second spring break senior year and went to Italy for a week to visit a friend.

5) Had my car, ipod, and sunglasses stolen, then had my computer die two days later. Didn't give up or move home.

hmmm, what does my list look like for the last few years....

  • I'm a professional belly dancer, who happens to be fat
  • I’ve surfed porn professionally (yeah, I know, you said no job stuff, but I decided to include these two…)
  • I'm teaching myself how to draw and paint (I’ve been commissioned to do a ceramic piece, does this count as a job thing?)
  • I was awarded a prestigious full-ride scholarship to study information assurance (anti-hacker stuff), left my husband and son to go study with one of the best minds in security
  • I can tie a cherry stem in a knot using my mouth
  • I was able to freak out most of my campus at ISU just by walking across the quad dressed like a Goth
  • Met a woman on the internet and flew to Las Vegas and spent the weekend with her in a hotel. I told my son he couldn’t do the same. Ok, truth be told, I met several women on the internet and flew out to spend the weekend with them… :( I just won’t be able to make it to the Vegas Bash this year… (Love you Christina! Glad you are feeling better!)
  • I took “basic horsemanship” for PE at ISU, classes started one week after I was banded. I own a pair of working cowboy boots.

I was going to say that I’ve been knocked flat on my ass by Chuck Norris, but that was more than a couple of years ago, so I won’t mention it.

1. Traveled to Australia, New Zealand, Mainland China (including Tibet and Hong Kong SAR), United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Brussels, Romania, and various locales throughout North and Central America (that's straight off my real resume...I couldn't think of anything else interesting to put on it).

2. Baked a five-hour chocolate cake that I saw made on the food network - and it turned out great!

3. Made the Law Review at my law school (a huge deal for law students).

4. Got a fancy new car and then talked shit to anyone who would listen about some random asshole keying it, only to find out that the real culprit was....my garage door.

5. Also according to my real resume, I can speak Romanian and French (please don't call me on it).

Missed you, DeCarla. Glad you're back. :(

**I’ve surfed porn professionally (yeah, I know, you said no job stuff, but I decided to include these two…)**

This kinda work doesn't count, it's encouraged on this resume. Whoda thunk? The more I read my list, the stupider I look. What the heck is a Palindrome? A Goth?

Leatha, I tried to reply earlier but that picture made me cry so I had to go away for a bit. I had to postpone this year's party - just way too much going on at once, but now I'll have this stuff called, "time." Oh, and they say I'll get this stuff called, "sleep?" Someone actually had the nerve to tell me I'd get used to this thing called, "sleeping in." Whah?

A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same forward and backward. Like Strawarts. Or Hannah. Or "Madam, I'm Adam."

I started the thread, I make the rules. If you got knocked on your ass by Chuck Norris or licked Elvis, please go to the head of the class.

Okay, I've been thinkin' about this & my life isn't as boring as I thought.

1) I ran myself over with my own car & lived to tell about it. (Yes, this is true!!)

2) I have the world's craziest Mother-in-law & yet I bite my tongue every time I'm around her & just put up with her crap to keep the peace.

3) Quit my $3,000/month job to do stay home & do a job that pays squat, but has lots of big rewards. (I'm a full-time Mom now!)

4) I went from a frumpy 260 lb. woman to a sexy lady in 1 yr. :biggrin1:

5) I found an old boyfriend on the internet & was so happy I dumped him.

6) I booked my first cruise for October to celerate our 13th Wedding Anniversary. (Supposed to go on our 10th, but hey...)

7) After 3 yrs. of marriage counseling, my husband & I finally get it!!

8) I purchased my prize posession - my grand piano!!

9) Will be fulfilling a life long dream of writing out all my music & hopefully publishing it. (I bought the VERY EXPENSIVE software & electric piano to finally do it!)

      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.
