He's not my friend now. He was until we got into a huge political fight on Yahoo Messenger. It ended in him calling me some rather rude 4 letter and 5 letter words. Who knew politics could end friendships.

nothing is funny about these sick public displays.

i really hope all are properly protected tonight - and i never thought i'd need to say that.

Tonight, our kids are at a dress rehearsal for a play they're in. We're picking them up late in the evening. Sadly, we feel the need to be armed.

I am assuming you live in Orange County California from where you say your doctor is from. If you do live in Orange Country where I have lived for 50 years, where do you need a gun. A little dramatic.

I love it how now matter what I say, even if it's personal experience, I'm questioned or accused of something.

If you noticed, I said my kids were in a production. It's not in a very safe place. And I don't give a hoot where I am and whether or not the "County" is generally safe (last I checked, Santa Ana had quite a bit of crime, BTW); if my family's protection is at stake, I take precautions.

Why do you need to be armed? Isn't Orange County an affluent place? Do wealthy folks run about the streets firing on folks when they don't get their way? Do you have a Vote McCain sticker on your vehicle?

I meant no disrespect by my questions, Gadget. I was just curious is all.

I lived in a nice area on the border of a not-so-nice area when the LA riots happened. I will never forget that. Rioting is a very scary thing and spreads very quickly.

But to answer the question about Orange County being a safe area the answer is yes. We have some areas that are not good but overall it is safe. Much safer than LA. As far as affulent this county if full of million dollar homes. To say you need to carry a gun on an election night because riots might start is a little over the top.

Do we really need a good reason to be armed?... i believe that EVERY yes that right i said EVERY American over the age of 22 should be armed. That's just my humble opinion .... and so what if it happened to be right

You know if this thing goes that way - the way of fighting in the streets like we had in the 60s - I will hold John McCain personally responsible for conducting such a sleezy and rage inciting campaign.

That is too funny. "McCain says rise up and revolt!!"

A friend of mine IMed me today...(he's for McCain)...he said...if Obama is elected within a week or two he will be assinated. He said mark my word too...he scares me...

Eh, give the secret service a little more credit. They're very, very good at what they do.

Who knew politics could end friendships.

Politics and religion are the two biggest relationship enders there are.

Hells Yeah!! On this we agree. I think there should be government oversight / regulation over this (Like in Texas. I just got my concealed carry permit), but if everybody (uh, sane people, I mean) were armed, crime would go way down.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
