Hello,

Obama is not black. He is Blite. He's as much white as he is black. It's his associations that I'm concerned about.

Congrats to Obama, I think he has taken it.

I am reading alot of forums on Australia based websites & other community group forums and it's amazing how much they support Obama even though we cant vote! lol

We have all the coverage here and it's great to see Obama ahead.

luluc if they can figure out who started a fire in California from a little pile of ashes, they should be able to figure out who erected a KKK sign in Dallas. I'm in Texas and that's a little too close to home for me. I'm white and I feel threatened by that.

Like I posted last night about the intimidation and assaults on people in North Carolina, this is the kind of stuff we may be faced with today in America while we're trying to have a fair and honest election.

We can't have a fair and honest election - the right wing terrorists in our own country just won't allow it. I should have said ignorant right wing terrorists. It's little more accurate.

You mean like the Black Panthers using their intimidation techniques?

Aw Beth, don't freak out, it's a joke.

Almost as funny as mine. I don't know a leftist alive who wouldn't snuff his granny to garner the sympathy vote. Just collateral damage. :lol:

Watching TV right now is just amazing. Times Square looks like New Years Eve. I wish I were in Chicago right now to participate in this moment in history.

November 5th Etiquette

After watching the final debate the other night, it dawned on me that

Obama could actually win this thing. If that happens, there will be a

lot of people (some of our co-workers included) who will be afraid that

an Obama presidency will usher in the end of days. They'll be watching

us on November 5th (the day after the election) for signs of the end

times.To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, I

think we should develop a list of acceptable celebrations and behaviors

we should probably avoid - at least for the first few days:

1. No crying, hugging or shouting "Thank you Lord" - at least not in

public

2 No high-fives - at least not unless the area is clear and there are

no witnesses

3. No laughing at the McCain/Palin supporters

4. No calling in sick on Nov 5th. They'll get nervous if too many of us don't show

up.

5. We're allowed to give each other knowing winks or nods in

passing.Just try to keep from grinning too hard.

6. No singing loudly,we've come this far by faith..(it will be

acceptable to hum softly)

7. No bringing of barbeque ribs or fried

chicken for lunch in the company lunchroom for at least a week (this may

make us seem too ethnic)

8. No Cupid Shuffle during breaks (this could

indicate a little too much

excitement)

9. Please no "Jeffersons" music(we are going to try to remain

humble)

10. No doing the George Jefferson dance (unless you're in your office

with the door closed)

11. Please try not to yell----BOOOO YAH!

12. Just in case you're wondering, doing the running man, cabbage patch,

or the Roger Rabbit on the highway is 100% okay.

        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
