Just to clarify I was not making light of the election, but they were talking about it on my way in, and well said.... I don't think of race and I understand this was a huge thing, but the girl on the radio hit the nail on the head, they showed 99% of black people on national interviews... what about the fact that young generation 18-24 voter registration and voting was up 68% for this election. That is a huge thing too... anyway, sorry even if i don't care for him or i do, this election was a milestone... and I hope he can go down in the history books for more than just being black.

Hi guys, quiet at work so I had a minute to check in. I had a fun social date with the older guy on Wed night. We went out for a drink and then back to his house, a few friends were over, watched Baseball, had a good time, and then everyone left and we just laid on the couch snuggling and talking. Of course he had a busy Thurs and Friday planned and i have not heard from him... the story of my life. I left a message today to say hey, hope you recovered and got sleep ... He goes out with the guys on friday nights and he knows i had a busy couple of days... Anyhoo... back to work. I'll be working tomorrow... might bring dylan with me, should be interesting.

Thanks Terry for that link i'm going to get on that... I was very doubtful until I've seen it first hand.... great results and my friend did it friday and was back to work Monday, she had to wear a binder and pads for drainage for 2 weeks and still at times puts the binder on but that is it. No missed time and in comparison to a TT, shoot 1/2 the price, good results... i'll take not being perfect... just need some help anyway Pamela hit the nail on the head Tracyks I'm tired... was out until 3am last night watched baseball and fell alseep snuggling on the couch... how nice anyway... night all

Haydee it is not very cold yet, was 70 today, but 2 weeks ago it was 25 at night and 50 during the day, and another front is coming in and it is going to be cold again... not quite that bad but still cold. Well, i was just trying to find a pic to send my Army friend (who by the way is going to get shipped out soon) very day - anyway, I found a pic of me last October.. I need to take a full body shot... because HOLY CRAP - i was feeling pretty good about me then and now 25lbs less, i'm thinking how disgusting I was even then! I can't beleive i looked that fat... I do know i'm still fat but yuck, I was gross - that sure put things in perspective! Oh and I want to share this story with you gals too A friend of mine (the one who vanished when i had surgery, remember her?) had lazer lipo (i don't remember the real name) she was fully awake and the ultrasonic waves used to do the proceedure do something to your skin to snap it back into place... My thoughts... UNREAL... well her belly was bigger than her boobs and she does not have a drop of skin. Her dr has done it on RNY patients and 95% of the skin went back. I am thinking about making a consult after the holidays and using my tax money. for upper and lower stomach it was approximatelyy $5k. They give discounts for multiple spots and referrals and other silly things. I will see if i can get a web site or more detailed infor Oh in 6 weeks she went from a size 12/14 to an 8 and her legs were always tiny. My first thought was how does it go back when you have had saggins skin or even drop all that weight quicky but it did.. oh and you continue to shrink for 6 months...

Hi girls just stopping in to say hello to everyone. Just crazy, I actually went 2 days without my computer on. Friday night i went out for 1 drink... you all know i don't just have 1... but i didn't want to go to the bar at the bottom of the hill, so we went to this place downtown.. of course i know people there... well we ended up having drinks with these biker guys I knew before but didn't remember me until they saw me 80lbs less... funny isn't it? Anyway, last time this guy was hitting on me, he was there... talked all night... ended finding out he is a good kisser.... Well then we went to the bar at the bottom of the hill for 1 birthday drink for another guy, well, my other friends who have always been my friends were there, having a big party today, invited me to come.... So... anyway - blah blah blah... Dicky is going to pick me up and bring me to the party with him. I told my friend who came over i was not looking for a relationship... she asked why not... well... lets see... that just leads to disappoiontment... and i don't want to settle with the first guy i meed... I want to date a little... this is a new thing for me. I built my kitchen floor up yesterday, took me a good part of the day to take the stairs out and frame and floor it but I did it.... I'm very impressed with myself, butnot just that, it was a big part of the project - I'm going to get my neighbors dremmel and start working on the grout and replacing tiles this week. My electric is run in the ceiling for my new lights and the nails are all pulled. I just need to insulate and the ceiling is ready to go back, and if the floor is done then I can get the water and power in for the island and be able to function again. Mom bought a new window and that will be here in 2 weeks, so it worksout great, so 3-4 weeks i'll have walls and a week later cabinets and done.. and that is doing very little after work. anyway, that is where i've been,.... have to go find a sitter for dylan so i can go to the party.

Hey guys, My kitchen is not going to be huge when I'm done because I'm putting an island in the middle (which has a sink, garbage disposal and pasta cooker built in). My back room which i built 7 years ago which has been a waste of space - i'm going to build a bar type seating. hard to explain so i'll take pictures of that room so when it is done you will see I worked 12 hrs today, got home to my dad and electrical nightmare ate while dealing with him, got sheet rock for my ceiling, and just sat down, i'm tired. still have 2 pages of post to read... i'm sure i'll post another I just have to say thank goodness for my kitchen. it is keeping me going, which is not easy right now

oh Laura it is much worse now, I'm going to take more pics tomorrow, a lot of the wires are gone, no ceiling and no walls, it is empty, but compared to the 5 other rooms i've done, this one is the best. I didn't do a before of the b ath with the dryer in it and the bedroom that is now my laundy room, I should take some inbetween, I'm going to finish them last, i'm just so happy to have the washer and dryer right next to each other. I am going to get sheet rock Wed night, enough to do the ceiling, I'm to the point where I'm ready to put it all back together again. Yeah, it was a funny story until one night when we were drinking right before my lapand surgery... and she spilled it all to my mother! We are going to our 20 year class reunion in November... I miss her... (one of my married friends who doesn't do much anymore) anyway, turned my heat on - it was only 58 i n here, turned it on to 60, way too cold for this time of year talk to you all tomorrow
