<Is there a smilie w/it's head popping off in frustration???... looks around... Where is a good smilie when you need it??>

Laura... can you check out Pam's idea now that we're all on board with the Tunica idea?? Another thought... how far out CAN your dad plan... one month (which would be April)? Two (which would be March)? ?? Ask him! Please.

Laura-do not sweat the small stuff. Everything will work out one way or another. Just another little road block that we can go around!! Don't let anything or anyone get you down sweetie! Its all good!

Michelle---if Laura's Dad cannot make plans ahead, is the cabin still an option? It would allow us to include Jenn again....and fall in with Judy's original plan.....

One way or another we will figure this out.

I'd be up for Palm Springs!

Or y'all could head to the 4 corners!!!

If you want a REAL taste of Texas, here's my idea....just to throw it out there:

One of my favorite spots in Texas is the little historic town of Gruene. The Guadalupe River (our favorite toobin' river) runs right thru it and there's lots of outfitters ready to rent you a toob and an ice chest to float down the river. By far one of my favorite pass-times....takes about a half-day. The weather will definitely be warm enough to do this....and it's a BLAST.

There's oodles of cute shops in the restored little town where you can easily spend a whole day just moseying around. That weekend is also the Gruene Market Days....where Texas artisans gather to show off and sell their handicrafts.

Gruene is also home to the the "Oldest Dance Hall in Texas" and i guarantee you that every country singer worth his salt has played there at one time or another. Willie and Jerry Jeff have played there tons. It's all open air with lots of cold beer, cute cowboys in tight jeans, and fun as hell.

This offeres a good overview of the town: Historic Gruene Texas

This is one of the very cool, very Texas-like guest houses: http://www.gruenehomesteadinn.com/farmhouse.htm A group of 10 could get this for about $200/3 nights.

You fly into either Austin or San Antonio and drive about an hour. Very easy to get to. We could even do one night (Sunday?) in San Antonio to get a taste of that special place, too.

San Antonio's River Walk--Remember the Alamo is totally awesome!!!

We still have to figure out a way to transport Jennifer!!!

If it involved a cute Texan in "Wrangler Butts drive me nuts" tight jeans---it would be even better!

We go to one of the Art Fairs in the little town near where our place in TX is--I love them!

If gambling is still on some minds, there is always off season Atlantic City......cheap!

Hah hah, when I did the foreign exchange program to Australia/New Zealand.. it was 20 kids from Alabama, 20 kids from Texas. And boy, did we both represent. Our group was all rednecks, and the Texas group was all cowboys!! They had the big belt buckles, tight jeans.. it cracked me up. And I have a magnet on my fridge one of them gave me "Don't Mess with Texas!", that's the state motto isn't it?

Yep we laugh at the buckles....in fact the bimbos running around the rodeos----we always called them Buckle Bunnies!!

But I personally believe it is a tombstone for a dead _ _ _ _ !!!!

Pamela - if the state were nothing but natives, you might be in trouble....but we have lots of 'foreigners' here who brought all their gay, liberal demo crap with 'em!! :cool: They outnumber the rednecks by a WIDE margin now!

It's actually a anti-litter campaign motto...but has come to represent our whole attitude in a nutshell.

      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.
