ohh is it the Nishere or N book Judy?

I watched their 25 mini-episode things that were online.. did you see them?

I didn't really understand it..

Nishere.com: Stephen King's "N." - An original video series

Nope.. never heard of the N series until I looked at the link you just gave. The book I'm talking about is Just After Sunset. It's a collection of 13 short stories. It got excellent reviews in People magazine, if that means anything.

Luckily the only time I go to Starbucks for their hot chocolate is when I am in Tunica because they have one in the lobby of our hotel. There's no convenient ones in town. We actually only have 1 (weird concept eh?) and it's at a walk up mall that you gotta park a mile away to get to. Not going through all that for a drink.

I found my title last night. It ended up in my shirt drawer.. how does that even happen?? Now I don't know where to go, we have DMV with loooong lines, then the DMV satellite but they do specific stuff I'm not sure about, then the courthouse a city away where we got our licenses last year with no wait.. but I don't know if they do titles.. and of course no one has people that answer phones anymore, it's all automated generic info.

Holy cow!

See if this website helps you. I discovered it a couple of months ago and it answered my question pronto: Alabama Vehicle Registration & Titling - AL Car Registration Guide - DMV.ORG

We have a starbucks about every 50 feet here....it's totally ridiculous.

She is self-pay too, and had some questions about finding docs, etc.. so I directed her to this website. She said she is looking at maybe going to Houston, so I told her she should check out Dr. Davis(s) if she does. She said she's looked around the forum but hasn't posted yet. I wish she still lived close, so I'd have a band buddy nearby!! Plus she never heard of the surgery till I got it, so I feel like I could give her a lot of info and support especially post-op when you are still realizing what just happened.. anyway..

Tracy and I both went to Hadar Spivak and he is really incredible. He has done thousands of surgeries and was one of the few doctors who were chosed for the lap band FDA trials...so he's been doing them longer than anyone in the U.S. Not to mention his staff is excellent and he is a VERY nice person.
I am so sleepy!!!!!!!!!!

I hate being sleepy at the office !! :tongue2: Yeah, try taking them at night. Or ask if you can start off with 1/2 dose and work your way up. Glad you got something -- hope it helps. It should!

Janie - meant to say that I took a little vacation from my anti-depressants to see if would help with my weight-loss stall. It took about 4-5 weeks but my depression came roaring back just like the old days. I don't have it real bad, but enough to make me pretty miserable. It was an interesting experiment anyway. Oh, and NO, it didn't help with my stall either.

I'm back from running errands. Got everything done and we're back home and then realized we didn't go to the book store! And that was #1 on the list.. oh well, we'll go before the movie tonight.

PamELa... no school here today because of St. Antler's day. Rifle deer season starts tomorrow and all the whackos are on the road driving up here so the kids get a day off. Plus most of them are in the upper grades are at hunting camps today anyway.

TracyK.. it's beautiful!! Such a deal you got!

Judy- You reminded me what I read about "N". It is actually one of the short stories in the book you're buying :Dancing_sorry:

I'm not sure why they did a promo video of that particular story, and like I said I didn't quite understand it.. but you should be reading it when you get to that story!

Our weather is interesting.. haven't seen the sun in days, it's very gloomy out.. but no rain.. and it's only 60 degrees.. but supposedly we get a cold front tonight and SNOW FLURRIES tomorrow?? We don't get snow, so that is unusual...especially in November. Global warming, what?

Thanks Terry I am going to check out that website.

Great find Tracy!! Looks like something I gave to my sister when I bought that china hutch.. she still loves it.

I am super tired, I normally go home and get in bed everyday after work and veg out.. tonight I have a hockey game. Normally that's fun and exciting, but I am zonked.

Back home again! Did my errands and tried to go ride....but it is super windy, and as a rule horses don't like wind. When you see them in the field they will all have their heads down, keeping their nostrils out of the rush of air.....and they can't do that when being rode....so when it kept causing her to toss her head, we went home......

So come and got my Mom and we did some shopping, got most of the non parishables for Thanksgiving, and she got about 1/2 her Christmas shopping done. We had a burger for lunch and come home. I did eat the burger---no fries. I have Beans in the crockpot for dinner. Rick wanted beans and homemade tortillas.....easy enough, and I made a pan of chili to go with it--because personally I like it that way!! LOL So dinner is done. I have had a couple of bottles of Water so about 40 oz. and have a 32 oz. Diet DP I am sipping at now....will ditch it in a bit and get my water bottle going again!

I come home to an angry letter from my Aunt. I sent her a quick letter and a picture of the grandkids. She was insulted because I typed the letter and envelope, obviously she was not important enough to warrant a handwritten letter she thinks. That if I had enough time to sit down and type it, I could have written it to her and it would have been so much more personal.....blah, blah, blah! My first instinct was to sit down and type her another letter telling her in great detail about the night my ex husband busted 3 of the 4 fingers on my right hand, and while keeping them moving is fine to keep them bent for long as in writing or crocheting or things anymore it hurts.....and that if she didn't like my typed letters, I simply would not bother anymore at all! I held back and am trying to figure out how to respond....I want to make her feel like crap for it tho!

Wake up everyone!!! Enjoy the game tonight Laura! What kind of shin dig you got going tonight Haydee? Judy did you say what you were going to go watch at the movie? Oh and yes Pamela, we did go to see Appaloosa! It was filmed in the Chama/Raton area it looked like. I have been on the train they showed! That train actually crosses a HUGE trellis bridge over the royal gorge--scared the you know what outta me!!! We both liked the movie....we snuggled and munched popcorn! Was before my "diet" began!!!

Oh and Laura, back a ways you ask about us getting kicked out of breakfast......we didn't technically get kicked out, we were ask to keep it down....and we found it both hysterical and insulting and we left as quickly as we could. It was in Gruene, at the Breakfast buffet they had. Everything that was being said was funny--and Haydee's tongue twisting over the work horticulture put us over the edge--we were cracking up and apparently disturbing the other diners!!! Which was bogus, because there was a couple of tables laughing with us! Not all of us were there....and it is hard to snort scrambled eggs out your nose!

Good evening, Violets.

We're back from the movie and I really don't recommend it. It's the new James Bond movie, Quantum Solace. It was just all action, no plot and no humor. Very boring. And I LOVE 007 movies.

I'm going to go watch the Pistons game and then hit the hot tub and bed. We're going baby furniture shopping tomorrow!! I'll be gone all day.

Will check in when I get back home if it's not too late. Have a great evening. sleep well.

Hello!

Love that furniture Tracy!!!! That is really nice!!

Judy St. Antlers day? It sounds like something you would hear out of Rose's mouth from St. Olaf!

I forgot what else I wanted to say!!

Oh well I am getting ready for bed and then work tomorrow!!!

Jane

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
