1st annual BANDSTOCK



Recommended Posts

I've had a guitar for 15 years but still can't play it! We also have a bunch of electric guitars and amps. I took lessons years ago, but time to actually learn something other than a really bad, bad, bad rendition of Tequila Sunrise.

I found out on Christmas Day that my Aunt teaches crochet classes at Tall Mouse (crafts store) here in my area so after the first of the year I am going to go and take her classes..

Lisa, it sounds like you have a headstart. That's great! You'll have to entertain at the next bandster bash.

And Michelle -- Way to Go! You'll be making hats in no time! That's an added bonus that your aunt teaches the class.

OK Greg! I see your hands are not too busy, but your mind is working overtime! :(

Yup... I'm working on yet another quilt... finished a bunch of little quilting projects and got the itch to do something bigger. :) I have the top finished... and working on building a stash with all of the quilting sales going on. I'll take a pick unless I totally screw it up when I do the actual quilting part. :) I joined a wool club as well... first project was a wee hooked rug... pretty cute but wouldn't want to start another expensive hobby!

I wouldn't jump to conclusions about Greg's hands... perhaps he is overhauling an engine or something like that. :(

I hear ya, Darcy, about the expense of starting new projects. I'd love to do some quilting, but time and money are not there right now. Maybe later. Does your wool club do various projects or just latch-hook? Sounds like fun. I'm hoping to find a knitting group around here, but it's a pretty rural area, so I don't know if there is one.

I'm sure Greg has other hobbies, but I think he's best at teasing. :(

Nope... they do a different type of wool project every month... the next one is a wool snowman that is meant to be framed as a picture... it's flipping adorable. :( I love making the quilts... but it is nice to have the variety of different things thrown in.

My sister just took up knitting... I am absolutely sure I am not talented enough to knit!

Hmmmm... Greg.... what do you do to keep your hands busy?????

Well I'm not to sure I'd want to answer that question ladies. But I do know My Pashish Priest has got to be tired of me saying "Bless me Father for I have sinned".

Wow, you talented bunch! I just need to stick with something and finish it! Becky, did you know your crocheted hat can double as a two-handed hand warmer when you forget your gloves? Very soft and snuggly!

      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.
