Barack Obama is the first Black President of the USA!

Someone e-mailed this to me:

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 callingin 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.

      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
