Now ladies, you have to keep us updated. No excuses. Either here or on facebook! I can't believe I am missing it. Kettle corn will be paying for my trip next year. Have we said no go for Thanksgiving in Vegas? I forgot.

None of you will melt and it will give you all more of an excuse to just sit and chat. That was what was missing last year at MOA. Have so much fun!!!

I agree with Janet, Candice. Please don't think you have to ENTERTAIN us. We'll be just fine. And, by the way, we will take care of dinner on Sunday. We sure appreciate your just giving us a place to sleep and shower!

Steph, it is going to be really quiet here on LBT for those of us who aren't going to Canada. We will have to fill lots of pages to make them all have to read.

Got an email from Mark today, he was wondering if Gracie could stay at my house this weekend. Well, unfortunately I have to work and no one is home and Gracie is in heat. So so much with that. Actually, I am totally cool with that. I put myself out there, he ignored the opportunity, so no big deal.

Talked to a lawyer today regarding continued child support for my kids while they are in college. They said Montana does not require support beyond 18 or graduating from high school, which ever is latest. So I will just survive on my own.

Planned on finishing the deep clean in the kitchen, sat down for a few minutes, big mistake, next thing I knew it was 5 pm.

Steph, so did you meet the social worker, or did they just call you on the phone?

For all you going to Canada, have fun!!!

Karla darling. Don't disregard Mark yet. Remember, men are slow. I dated Jeff for .... at least 2 months before he even held my hand. It wasn't until I was leaving for the summer that he even bothered to kiss me. they just don't get it.

I went in and visited the social worker. She still needs to see the kids, but she said after the meeting with her supervisor. I'm not worried. It's just a pain in my ass!

For all of you going to Canada. I'm there in spirit....and take a ton of pictures!!!!

Same here, Janet. Just tried and couldn't print the boarding passes. . . What time do you leave Palm Springs? Oh, Oh, Oh, tomorrow at this time we'll be there ! I sure wish Steph was comming and Kari, and Karla. . . Next year. . . NO EXCUSES!

I think it's the whole passport issue - so will have to get to the airport just a tad earlier

My plane leaves PS at 8:10 - Get to DFW @ 12:55 - leave DFW 1:35 - that gives me like 20 mintues to get to whatever gate my next plane leaves from - that's cutting it close!!!

What time to you leave - well I guess a lot later you dont' have to fly as far...

It's going to be just you Denise & Steph.... I'm not too worried about having to catch up on too many pages LOL

Men !!! This is why I ain't looking...

I figured it wouldn't go any where - but I can imagine what a pain it is...

Ok just cking in - I have been to the gym - bank - grocery store - feed the dog - gave Andrew verbal instructions and gotta decide what I'm bring (packing) and fix me some dinner..

Yep tomorrow night at this time we will almost be at Candices house..

Oh can't wait...

Most likely will cb in the morning - but I think I'm off for the night...

Gotta charge my phone & camera - Yes we will take pic's - I don't think you (steph) ever posted the ones you took last yr - you were busy desiging your website...

I agree with that's what was missing about our trip last yr - not enough visiting - that's why I think this will be a great time..

I have to start here by apologizing for opening that can of worms. But would you believe, when i stopped by church this morning, our Pastor asked me to get the lowdown on Canada's health care. Told him I already did.

One more sleep. that is, if I ever make it upstairs to bed. Got three books on audio CD to listen to on the ride. And, Candace and Linda, just got to tell you that I don't live in Grand Rapids. My daughter does though. We're halfway between Lansing and Ann Arbor. But don't worry, Candace, the directions still work perfectly. I'll pick up

I69 and go from there.

SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW. GONNA MISS YOU STEPH, KARLA AND KARRI. NEXT YEAR FOR SURE.

Kira, you don't owe us an appology. Your questions were valid, and I think that we are mature enough to be able to know when a debate is healthy vs people bashing!!

Again you all have a good time.

Next week was suppose to be the week that all my quilting friends go up to a cabin on the lake. The last couple of years my DD#2 comes and we have gourmet food and fun. However despite the time being set for the last couple of months, they changed the dates at the last minute and I have to work as well as DD#2. So instead I am going to DD#2 house in Idaho Falls and we will have our own quilting week. I guess either my friends are changing or I'm changing. Oh well.

calories yesterday..1007. I made a decision to NOT have a snack at 10 pm. That is a first for me.

Well, beautiful day in Buffalo yesterday, but then the rain started! It's dark and rainy this morning so we're just sitting around in our jammies! Not motivated to get moving yet. Seattle is going to have the hottest day so far this year and we're a little sad to be missing it!

Looking forward to the weekend but looks like we could be spending a lot of it inside!

Good visit with a dozen of Earl's relatives yesterday... two brothers, two sisters, one niece and her family.... plus my Mom & Uncle. Then went out to my other sister's, then she came here to this sister's and we sat on the porch drinking vino! Homemade Black Cherry Chianti and strawberry Zinfandel! Yummy!

good morning ladies! My computer is being a little obstinant this morning. I think it's because it knows I'm supposed to be doing other stuff and I should log off and get to it. I promise I will as soon as this post is done.

Kari, don't apologize...we can have a healthy discussion. It just seems that this issue can be as volitile as the presedential election was a few months ago. I've been curious about Canda's system also. I looked into the Netherlands system also. Now the Netherlands is a socialist society so it is very different and we won't go there....but it is nationalized healthcare and I knew someone who had personal experience...so I asked.

Karla, congrats on the skipping your snack. Sometimes just saying no to yourself can be a giant step. Your weight loss tells you that you are learning good habits. You are making big changes and you are treating your body so much better. Be very proud of yourself and when you get down because you dont' seem to be dropping...look at how much you have done in such a short period of time. Be proud. Sorry your quilting weekend seems to have folded. You can always come out here. you are ALWAYS welcome!

Everyone else traveling, be careful and have a great time!

      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.
