Recommended Posts

Judy, you and I have complete opposite tastes it seems.

Which is precisely why I married the Bobster and not you. Oh wait.. the Bobster and I are completely opposite in just about everything. hmmmmm well, it must work.. we've been together for 43.5 years now. Sorry Laura.. I saw him long before I saw you.

When I was in high school and video stores were newer things....(a long time ago!!) My dad would always tell me to bring home Debbie does Dallas. One year for Christmas, my uncle got my Dad's name in the gift exchange and rented, yep, Debbie does Dallas for the Christmas party. They made Dad watch it. Never heard him say that again!!

Let's see, my favorites:

1. Hoosiers -- all-time, watch every year!! (Have I mentioned I'm originally from Indiana and it was filmed partly in my hometown with several hometown stars!!)

Top Gun

Dirty Dancing

My Fair Lady

Back to the Future

101 Dalmations (cartoon version)

Die Hard

Sabrina (w/ Harrison Ford)

hate the Saw series!, scary movies

Had to take the girl cat to the vet today -- throwing up every time she eats. So now we are back, she got an antibiotic and an anti-nausea shot, blood work and he wants her back soon for a teeth cleaning (bad inflammation). And the bill was only $193. (sarcasm) Yikes!! And now, to boot, the boy cat (her brother) is hissing at her because she doesn't smell right to him. We were gone less than 2 hours. Geez, what a day!

You guys all have great movies. Not one for blood and guts so for me those are out, but I love a sad sappy love story!! My favorite sad movie is My Life with Michael Keaton.

Brad Pitt, in a River Runs Through It!!!!!!! YYYUUUUMMMMM!!!!!!

I am not too much of a repeat movie watcher.

Well I have spent all my savings on getting caught up. I hope October really kicks. So far not a happy start!!

I have no emergency fund, no window fund, no secret stash fund. Although I did find 50 I got for my trip in June that I forgot to spend, so I am saving it for my next trip. So I guess my trip fund has 50!

Okay enough whining!!

Got your postcard today Michelle, love it, Cindy was not very nice, always had that sugary sweet disposition, but it hides her real self!!

Good evening, Violets..

Just a quick post. 5 hours with Ethan and 1 with Grady are a little too much for an old lady. I'm going to take my next book Icy Sparks to bed and read till I fall asleep. Finished the Guernsey book today.. really liked it.

Off early tomorrow to spend the day shopping. Everyone have a good evening. sleep well.

You said it right didn't Pamela?

I am reading Billie Letts Made in the USA. Very good. I read another book by her Shoot the Moon (I think) really liked that too. Anyone read any others of hers?

Sorry I got on here so late. I remember you TeachLady from my posts several months ago. I'm a little west of Traverse City. My surgery was at Munson through Grand Traverse Surgery. And Brad Pitt....say no more! I was drooling over him in Thelma & Louise!!!! He doesn't have that long hair anymore, though. :thumbup: Yes, Monty Python & Princess Bride! I think my "list" could go on and on!

I had been a few months since a fill, and got a whopping 1/4 cc fill, and you would not believe the difference! A tiny 1/4 cc, and I can tell a big difference. I'm at 6 1/2 cc of a 10cc band, so my Dr didn't want to push it too far. I'm glad he didn't put any more in! I've had a lot of crap going on lately, and have been rushing & eating around my band. My husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer back in Feb, so we've been going through surgeries and chemo. Not to drag on about that, but its really changed everything in our family. My Dr is understanding and didn't scold me for misbehaving! I just hope I didn't damage my band....I dont think I did...I dont have pain or anything.

It's a Wonderful Life

Forrest Gump

Big Chill

Out of Africa

Meet the Robinsons

Shawshank Redemption

Dirty Dancing

Can you tell I've seen mostly Disney movies over the past 10 years... these are so dated! LOL! I can -- & do! -- cry at cartoon movies! What a sap.

I don't do scary/gory movies... I couldn't go in the basement for a month after I saw "Blair Witch Project" -- which was located & filmed in a little town right by here... shiver!

Pamela -- have a great time at DL & kiss Minnie (it is gay days, after all!) for me!!

        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.

      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
