OOO in that case, I balance all the time. Honestly, I rarely write checks anymore. Only for misc household bills (i.e., plumber etc)

Yup, I use my checks for household bills. Everything else I use my debit card. Still gotta keep track of the spending.

Hah hah ya'll are funny. I don't balance anything, I just make sure I always have X amount in the account.. and we're always way above that. Only time I write checks is for bills that I couldn't sign up for auto-deduction.. and I use my debit card when I go out.

I admit I have never balanced a check book! I do like Laura.. I get paid, I pay bills online and what I have left goes for grocery or gas....... nothing left to balance! :rolleyes2:

I remember my grandfather trying to teach me to balance a check book. I did his when "we took over his finances" which was a huge undertaking (the days before online banking). I never had any money...so it was never an issue. Now I have a little bit and I do like Laura and Tracy, it comes in, I pay online, and what is left I live on. I get paid once a month. What is left over at the end of the month is "savings" and gets transfered lol! I remember my mom fretting about 'not balancing" the books when I was a kid. That is now a blast from the past as now we all pop on and check balances online.

HiYa girlies :rolleyes2:

DH is on nights so the house is very quiet. I just can't get used to it getting dark at 5:30 in the evening! UGH. It is 15 til 6 and I am yawning for Gods sake!

Thank you all for the tips on the Greenbean Casserole. I love that stuff. I could live on that and green rice.

Tonight is survivor night...all is well with the world.

I miss Kat.

All is not right with the world until American Idol is back on. I hope this year is as exciting as last year.

I actually heard my first Christmas song on the radio today. Yikes, too soon. Last year the started the day after halloween. I guess people must have complained about it.

Told my Boss today that I wasn't going to decorate till the week of Thanksgiving. I hate going into a store and the already have all of there stuff out (except Hobby Lobby).

Good Morn, Vi's~~

I missed you all yesterday! But was busy w/work + it was PTA meeting day so I had lots to do to get ready for it, + take the phone calls from the folks who were supposed to do something since the last meeting who somehow just didn't quite get it done because they're so busy, blah dee blah... like I just sit around each day w/nothing to do hoping that someone calls to ask me if I can make 500 copies of something at the last minute?? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I was *not* a happy camper. So much so, actually, that I came home and downed 2 bottles of Mikes Light Hard Cranberry Lemonade (very good) to take the giant edge off!

Today is work, weekend is this & that... regular stuff... still struggling w/getting my eating under control... I run so hot & cold...

Will be working on the computer lots today, so will check in later. Smooches!

PS -- Pam, TracyKS's pic makes me smile, too... I SO remember that exact moment: "BAM!" "How did you know it's Pam?!" Good times...

      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.
