7. I always wanted to be a teacher but messed up by not going to college and i regret it almost everyday
I just wanted to say that this doesn't have to be a regret. If you think it's something that you can't do because you think you are too old, stop. I currently teach college-level biology classes, and I can tell you that you would be far from the oldest student that I've seen. One of my students was a lady that was in her 70s. If you regret it as much as you say you do, I really, really encourage you to go back. You may have to go without some things for a while, but I guarantee that it would be one of the best things that you will do in your life. Look into going back to school. There are all sorts of grants, loans, scholarships, etc. that are available.

I would love to be able to go to college but currently I work 2 jobs just to pay bills and make ends meet so attending school right not is not realistic but I truely hope that this is just a temp "excuse" and I will one day be able to make this one dream come to life. Sounds corny I know but every since I was about 5 I wanted to be a teacher for young children and that just grew as I got older

Here are somethings that no one knows about me:

1) I was sexually abused by my father until I was ten years old and he was put in jail. He also abused three other girls (one being special needs)

2) I have never been into drinking or drugs.

3) My idea of a good Friday night has always been putting on comfy PJs and cuddling up with a great book (what a dork).

4) I dropped out of college in my Junior year and went back to get m Associate's Degree after the birth of my son.

5) I only went out with my DH on our first date because I had nothing better to do!!!!:nervous

6) I am the only one that colors in my son's Coloring Books!

7) In my mind, I'm an average sized person.

8) I'm a obsessive coupon clipper. I hang my receipts on my fridge to show everyone how much money I've saved!

9) I struggled for many years with depression but have gotten it under wraps with meds (which adds to my weight gain)!

This thread was a great idea!

I am a fanatic about animals. I will not kill any living thing (on purpose). I save earthworms in the parking lot at work. Even icky bugs get scooped up and set outside to live another day. I have three chihuahuas and 13 birds. I will be the "crazy old lady at the end of the block who has all the animals". I like animals much more than people.

Terri: I want to live in Colorado very badly too. I would definitely settle for the mountains of New Mexico though.

Have you read "the kite runner"? If I get into a book past the first 50 pages, I always finish it. To the peril of everything else in my life. I stayed up reading it a couple of nights in a row until I finished it. And I keep thinking about it, like a really good movie. It provokes some pretty strong emotions.

Is a score of 410 on ebay good? I used to have an antiques business and have quite a lot of stuff I should get rid of. :tired

      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.
