Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here



Recommended Posts

Just a fun tidbit.. Anyone remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books? When I was a kid, my aunt was a teacher in Canada.. she would mail them to me. They were so cool, and I loved to read, so I loved choosing my own adventure hehe. We didn't have them here, so I only got them through her. It ends up DH use to love those books too!

So fast forward, that company apparently closed up years ago. 2 years ago, this new company bought the CYOA book rights, and are releasing new ones. They contacted me to make the book boxes for them. So, everytime they release new titles, I get a set of them to put in my samples. And its just ironic, that we're doing them. I'm glad they brought them back, I plan to give these to my kids.

Terry and Pam why does one of you say 'super' and the other say 'forum'? And while I am being really stupid, what is r and r?

Have a good day!!

"Super Moderator" was the default title that Alex bestowed upon us when we became moderators....that title was automatically attached to the avatar. I was just kind of uncomfortable with it for some reason and change mine to simply "forum moderator".

R&R is the "Rants and Raves" section of this board. It gets pretty hairy in there and I just about always get aggravated when I visit....so i don't! :eek: I'd much rather hang here with you girliez.:grouphug:

lololol

Tracy he is a cutie, what kind is it?? DH wants to get a beagle. I love older trained dogs, but I hate hate puppies. They're cute, but in our house I'm the one that had to train our dog BY MYSELF, and DH taught her bad habits that I'm still trying to break (jumping on people). I told him it's only cute as a puppy and when she gets big it's going to be bad... he didn't listen.. now 50lb dog jumps up on people.

I'm trying to avoid us getting another dog, unless it's a rescued adult with good manners..

HE is a Heinz 57! The sister looked straight up rottie...... we think shepherd, rottie maybe mixed with doberman........ = BIG not a big fan of dobermans so I'm hoping I heard her wrong...... DH and I had decided to get a dog for the boys to grow up with and WHAM there was a girl pushing a cart entitled with FREE PUPPIES...... taking him today for shots.

Robby didn't mean too but came up with the name UNO, and it has stuck.

Havent trained a pup in about 12 years........ doing it right this time with a kennel and K-9 obedience..... and NO sleeping IN THE BED! :smile2:

Ugh. TOM arrived this a.m. & the munchies right along w/it. I have eaten all "legal" food today, but I'm thinking that 3 cups of sugar-free pudding isn't something I should do EVERY day. But I told myself that I could eat as much as it took to do the trick as long as it was legal... so... I guess that's better than the alternative!

I got my hair trimmed today, and this lady I've been going to for years & years.. she's never tried to sell me on the products in their salon. But the past few times she's commented on how thin my hair has gotten. Today she told me I should use (some product she has) and it'll help it grow thicker. I'm not saying it'll work, but since she has never tried to get me to buy that crap before and she knows me, I decided to try it. $10 per bottle, Shampoo & leave in conditioner. Who knows if it'll do anything, but giving it a shot.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
