2005 Vegas Bash



Recommended Posts

Jenna, no worries. Last year we had digital cameras going and were posting real-time pictures because there was a whole "Pity Party" going on at LBT. We were all on the computer with a live thread going, so there will be plenty of pics.

Ok, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to come to Viva Las Vegas in September!!!! Not sure I can get off that close to school starting. But I have some question. Where will everyone meet? How much $ for a hotel room? How many steps at your house Lisa? Remember I'm on crutches and can't do steps very well. Damn F-ing disease. How handicap accessible is Vegas?

I have talked about it soooo much that every one tells me to shut up and go!!

I am new on here and being banded next week. This sounds like a lot of fun in Vegas and I would love to come out and meet other people from this site. I am in SoCal and can drive 2 others in my car if anyone wants to carpool and share gas.

No steps at all at here. Just the curb, but you can avoid that by coming up the driveway. And my entire house is tile so you could even rent an electric scooter if you want (only if you let me try it.) After all this Harley riding, I'm almost ready to trade my motorcycle in for a Hoveround with a flame-job. I'm beat up.

Lisa- Can you list your address & directions to give a cabi- Looks like were all staying in different hotels so we'll all need directions & aprox. how far it is for a cab ride. What time & day to arrive at your home & what you may want us to bring:0)

Also where is this Friday nite dinner meeting? Maybe we should start a new thread with just the info on it because this one is so long- just a thought.

Can't wait till Sept!!!!!!!!

Christina, good idea to start a new thread, but let's wait till the date gets closer. The restaurant is at Flamingo & Eastern not too far from the airport with easy access to the Strip. My house is 5 minutes from the airport at the 215 and Windmill. I'm 7 miles from the south end of the Strip. I'll post more as the date gets closer.

OMG, I think it's going to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banana I was talking to a friend of mine at work today and told her how much I wanted to come, but didn't think i could pull it off and then She said " I'll take you!" She said that her and her BF can drive me and then the 2 of us can party with you all while her BF does what ever he wants.

I will have only a million ?'s so please bear with me, but being disabled I really have to pre plan and I'm already behind.

Lisa, if it's ok with you I will PM you later with some more ?'s? I promise not to overwelm you with too many! Only a million or so!! :)

My friend Kara went right in a wrote our names down to have the 9 off. OMG, OMG, OMG,OMG and OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terri, write me a whole book of questions if you need to. Every place in Vegas is built to accomodate the handicapped... heck, let's make millions and find one that's not and sue the hell out of them (sorry, bad joke coming from a law firm.)

      Saw my PCP & officially started my 6 month supervised diet 07/26/24. She just told me to eat less carbs & sugar, use the air fryer and not fry my foods in grease, and to try to walk 30 minutes 3 days a week & if I can't do that (and I cannot), to walk 10 minutes daily. Told me to walk fast enough that my heart rate is raised.  She didn't give me a number as far as calories though. A year or so ago I was doing low carb/sugar free and keeping my calories at 1800 or below. She said I should up my cals to 2000 at that time, so that's what I'm shooting for now.
      Hubby walked with me today. He's in pretty bad shape so I was surprised he wanted to. We walked down the gravel road at a pretty good pace (for us LOL). 10 minutes walking and my heart rate was 115bps according to my Fitbit and 125bps according to his pulsometer. Either way, it was elevated and I was breathing hard. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. We'll do it again tomorrow. 😁
      I should be hearing from the surgeon soon. She said if I didn't, to call him next week. Since I HAVE to do the 6 month diet & that's going to put me into January by the time it's done, I'm hoping the surgeon will let me do all my testing in January. I don't want to do it all now and have my deductible get met, only to have to pay the deductible again in January or February for my surgery. Praying that things go the way I hope. 🙏

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.

Various regulatory bodies are approving alternative sweeteners for use, ensuring their safety and efficacy. These approvals provide food and beverage manufacturers with the confidence to incorporate alternative sweeteners into their products.
