So the death toll for the Victorian fires has risen to 173. Its just awful. Whole towns have been wiped out before the locals could leave, the fire is spreading THAT fast. Its so sad. We are a fair way from them, but we've had a cool change in the weather today, so here's to hoping the lower temps will allow the firey's to get in there and get them under control.

You know the worst thing of all though? They suspect that the fires were lit on purpose by an arsonist. What kind of person can do something like that? Something that has affected so many families and communities?

If anyone wants to donate money to the appeal for the victims, you can go here Australian Red Cross

OMG, I did not realize there were so many fatalities. I'm sorry for sounding so flip about it earlier. I honestly didn't mean any disrespect by it.

what - you havent read from the beginning?? im sorry, we need your membership card back... :lol::)

I thought that went without saying? I spent a weekend months ago getting all caught up!

pjtp - i dont even remember posting about 3am feedings!! :tt2: tired, but i love every minute of it!!!

Aww sweet!!! Yesterday, I saw that your hub said something about J being 10 days old. I can't believe it's already been a week and a half!

i thought radiohead killed it w/the usc band playing along!

Ba! I ended up only watching an hour. I was shocked to hear about Chris Brown and Rihanna. I heard that Wrigley's has already pulled his commercials. :thumbup:

Facebook is addictive. I think I am going to pass on WOW. Between Facebook, LBT and AC I really don't have time for anything else. Plus, there are some really interesting twitter feeds that I am following that are almost like a soap opera and quite addictive as well. If you like the trashy romance novels and are on Twitter, follow secrettweet!!

Now don't tell me that! I'm already trying to keep up on FB and LBT! When I go through my reading spurts, I either read trashy romance novels or murder mysteries. Bad Susan!

re: your foot - I hope it gets better sooooon! I broke both of my ankles years and years ago so I understand how annoying being off your feet is. I empathize!

OMG I had not heard that it was so unbelievably high. I am so sorry; that's just awful.

OK, all you folks join my Mob or else I'll have Beth raid you! OK, I know I'm not even making any sense anymore.

Am I in your mob? More importantly, are you in mine???

Susan, what is AC?

I like looking at pictures on FB. I have pictures on FB and I like it that other people can look at the pictures, but other than that, I am not getting what the big attraction is. Is it the Wall? You can say things that everyone can see? Maybe it's more fun than sending out mass emails? I just don't get it. I must be lame.

AC is Android Community. It feeds my geeky phone passion.

As for Facebook, it is amazing reconnecting with friends from high school, former coworkers, relatives I don't see very often, etc. Have you clicked on the friend finder? You can search employers, high schools and you can have it check your email to see if anyone you email is on Facebook. I also like joining groups so I can talk to people that have similar interests to mine. Such as phone geeks, storm chasing, etc. Once you get to exploring, there is really a lot you can do there.

You're not the only one, trust me. I prefer WoW where I can kill stuff. :lol:

Beth, sometimes I am a little bit afraid of you. _cor_blimey__by_crula.gif

That is awful. I feel terrible for everyone there!

Come on, SNT, you know you want to check it out.

So, I went for my post-op appointment today. I really thought I would be cleared to go back to work. I am soooo bored of sitting on my couch doing nothing. He changed the dressing, said I am healing well but there is still quite a bit of swelling. He said I am still restricted to staying off my feet, keeping my foot elevated at all times, icing it every hour and using my crutches until at least my next appointment. That isn't until a week from tomorrow! I may go stir crazy by then. I am going to have work fax me some of my stuff so I can at least not get too far behind. The worst part though, I missed the shoot-out and now I am going to miss the Daytona 500 this weekend too! He wouldn't clear me to go, I am so upset! I guess I am stuck watching it from my couch. Yes, I am once again having a self-pity party.

No wine, just diet green tea with ginseng now. :lol:

In all honesty, the mob thing could have been operator error on my part. I haven't been on FB too much simply because to navigate it almost takes a picture map and pin chart. I'm somewhat savvy on most computer things, but FB, I think, is harder for me simply because of the overload of all the stuff.

It's really going up. I thought earlier today it was about 120-something. And I too heard about the suspected arson. I hope, if it's true, they throw the book at whoever did it.

Ah but see, if he abandons raids on a regualr basis he will not be asked to participate in them. And that would be tragic, ya know?

Yeah, a *total* tragedy. :lol:

I will join anyone's mob but will not actually do anything. So if you need the numbers, just ping me.

I am not addicted to but I do like that I can see what people I used to be really close to are up to. These are not people I would be sending regular emails to or Christmas cards or anything like that so without things like Facebook, they would just disappear from my life.

I go up about every two weeks and maybe comment on someone's status or look at pictures. But I don't do much else.

I'd friend all you guys but most of you have said you don't want people knowing you have a band and I am *really bad* about keeping track of that stuff. I know I would just end up accidentally outing people.

So only ask to be my friend if you don't care about that. For your own piece of mind.

Getting older is getting better. Better than the alternative, anyway. :thumbup:

      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.
