anonemouse 1 Posted April 10, 2008 My complaint is my car has a cassette player and I can no longer find cassettes. Laurend could it have been a brown recluse(sp) spider? No, brown recluses are larger than whatever this was. It was about the size of a pin head. Whatever it was, though, it packed a heck of a wallop. I've still got a scar from where it bit me.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted April 10, 2008 You're lucky Lauren that it didn't cause any further problems. Some bites can cause serious health problems. I am glad yours didn't! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losingjusme 12 Posted April 10, 2008 My complaint is my car has a cassette player and I can no longer find cassettes. Laurend could it have been a brown recluse(sp) spider? if you have an ipod there is an accessory that you can put in your cassette player, plug that into your ipod and you can listen to your ipod in the car. my DH has one and im sooooo jealous. (i dont have a cassette player and the radio frequency thingamabobs dont work for me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(i dont have a cassette player and the radio frequency thingamabobs dont work for me) I agree, the radio transmitter things are about worthless. My next car will have an audio or usb jack.

Holly, no surgery for me yet either. I have freaked a few times and it had to do with (excuse my expression here) the dumb ass advice that is given sometimes by people that push off their experiences as gospel. I have the ability to distinguish between crap advice and great advice. What I worry about is that there ppl going through the early stages of this and are going to take that crap advice just to use it as an excuse to validate the mistakes they are making in their diet and risk complications with their band. There are so many lapbanders with years of experience that give great advice. And, their advice usually starts with "talk to your dr. first". I would rather be called on the carpet by someone giving great advice than take risks. I just want to yell sometimes...AREN'T WE ALL IN THIS TO MAKE THIS WORK???????????

cathyalmond 1 Posted April 11, 2008 You are right to a point, I have seen irrelevent posts that have nothing whatsoever to do with WLS...that is the garbage. However, hearing about others experiences good or bad helped me make my decision. I know what to ask my surgeon, I know what not to do (eg: chew gum) and the moral support that this forum provides is immeasurable. I would suggest that people stick the subject of WLS and leave out the garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2 Posted April 11, 2008 Alright nothing to do with WLS, but sfeiner is that a bichon is your picture?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfeiner 2 Posted April 11, 2008 I think it's good to talk about other things. That's how we get to know each other. I think we all have issues other than weight to help each other with. What I HATE is when ppl throw insults at others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
