She needs to join us here!!

Very cool addition, thanks! Century gothic is one of my favorite fonts, me happy.

Went to OG, I always get chicken scampi.. they had something, didn't say new, but I never saw it before.. Seared Chicken & Gnocci Vermese (I think). Oh.. my..goodness. I think it's the best tasting thing I've eaten in a LONG TIME. I had plenty of left over, so that's my dinner tonight too. That drama lady at work, she apparently is saying she is pregnant and harassing one of the guys in the back.

I'm confused about contractions, contractions are only unsafe if you're a high risk pregnancy. That's what I've read. Orgasms cause uterine contractions.. and it's fine, as long as you're not high risk.

You need to do what is best for you, and it's not uncommon, there has been people posting about this before. Count your blessings you guys are so amicable about it. I've heard, it turns into someone cheating on the other, because of any number of reasons much like you stated.. feel like they're missing out suddenly when they get self-esteem back, etc. and it turns into a brutal war.. and kids involved. You need to just keep looking forward to the future, and keep yourself number 1 :cool2:)

Hah hah ah.. I love The Office.

This.. argh! :cool2:

And congrats to your mom Tracy!! I keep wishing my dad would say he wants it, he keeps trying to diet, and it works for a minute.. He's getting so large, I forget till I see pictures. He's well into high 300's. I always talk about how much I love my band, he's never showed interest. Can't make them want it if they don't want it.

What an interesting 'soft spot' for you. But, it's understandable no one told you about this lapband side effect, as it's more related to your body and not the lapband :cool2:

Mobile is quite a drive, but ya'll should definitely do that, it's a lot closer than Michigan! I am going to a support group tonight. I forgot about it--really wish I hadn't. I am so frumpy looking today, I hate getting dressed these days.. nothing ever fits right, but I can't wear maternity yet! Someone on LBT, said there's a group that means in town, but it's mostly bypass. She's trying to get enough of us together to start an official lap band group in town. I'm in! Mom wants to take me to olive garden for lunch today.....chicken scampi!!!!!!!!!! Man I am so hungry... I want sausage and eggs too Judy!

Yup, while I know it's a blessing not to have the morning sickness, I feel like I'm missing out on a tell-tale sign of pregnancy.

ROFL --> :cool2: I've never been anywhere that had this fried stuff, maybe our fairs have it, but I have never noticed it. I always see candy apples and cotton candy. Never seen BBQ at the fair either! Hm.. I don't know when our fair is coming, I was hoping to go this year.

Yeah I've seen some yummy looking fried stuff, but I've never actually been anywhere that had it. I'd like to try the snickers, and cheese curds.. Twinkies are disgusting non-fried, I wouldn't touch em even if they fried it. That's so exciting Tracy! 170's! WOWEEE!! We did our Wed. night cracker barrel last night.. I got 1 catfish fillet, with turnip greens. Somehow (I say somehow, because I have no restriction, nothing is off limits anymore, I even ordered the smaller meal just so I'd have less to eat) I ate 3/4 of the fillet and all of the turnip greens-man they are good-and I felt so stuffed on the way home. I didn't catch it while I was eating, but I had the knot in my stomach, like the pre-band knot you get on thanksgiving day. I was miserable, and I said something like 'Man I am hurting, I wish I could just puke some of it up'.. Russell looked at me and goes 'Gee, that's the spirit'.. heh. Having my morning chocolate milk, and I'm already hungry. By time I went to bed last night, I was craving something. I was half-asleep and half-starving for a hamburger. I decided to sleep and forget about the craving.. but then I woke up, and I'm still craving meat.

Yeah I lived in Atlanta a few years ago, never saw any snow..

I was curious about the police being involved, I wouldn't think they could do anything either I hope it gets resolved, that's so scuzzy that they don't back you. When all is said and done, I would move your banking to somewhere that covers you for fraud. My bank covers it--and it's free. I have sworn by it now, I got my mom on the train when her account was hacked and she lost her money.

And if you watched The Office last week, Kelly tried the tapeworm diet

Oh and yup, I'd eat that. That looks nummy.. the fried candy bars. Little fried turds of yummy goodness. I've heard about this, from up north.. fried cheese curds.. which I think sound yummy too.. There is a little local hamburger joint in a connecting city, they deep fry hamburgers. My dad took me once, it wasn't anything like I thought it would be.. I gave it 2 thumbs down.

Hey, we're in the same town! I was going to say our weather is great right now, it's even on the chilly side today.. I guess that's me you're talking about, I have a sweater on today

No, and I personally prefer it without the nutmeg. My favorite is mozzerella & spinach.. mm..

Woohoo Tracy!! I got a firehouse sub for lunch.. ham & turkey..ate 2 bites.

Congrats Heather, hah. I was so scared, I was shaking when it turned to 2 lines. I want kids, but then I instantly thought, "I don't want it yet, take it back!!". It is very scary, and it gets better as you settle into it. Right now I'm in a phase where I still don't really believe it.

Oh yeah, and recognize that White Tiger picture next to my degree? Remember me lugging that around in Gruene? I get so many compliments on it, everyone wants one.

Quiches are nummy.. never had them for lunch, but I love em for b'fast! Here's my new office.. desk is a mess, still trying to figure out where to put things now that I have NO DRAWERS.

Haydee- When we do company potlucks, a lot of us make something (anything) in a crockpot at home, transfer it to the company and just plug it back into the wall to reheat. Good way to travel with full meals. With that in mind, you could make pasta noodles ahead of time, and bring in some sort of homemade sauce w/meat in it, in the crockpot. Mac&cheese&meat in the crockpot like a pie.. (thinking of things people have done here).. A big hearty soup if it's getting chilly there (or chili). And as for side affects of anti-anxiety.. for me, it does kill my libido, but it's not an ongoing thing.. only when you're actually on them.. but you shouldn't take them everyday anyway. So say you had a bad day, take xanax, for the 6ish hours it is affecting you, you won't want sex. Wanting to eat veggies.. uhm.. never experienced that one. But think that, and maybe it'll happen as a placebo affect I just got back from shopping with the CFO, we had to get new supplies for new employees.. was a headache. I am starving now. FOOOOD.. must.. find.. oo Russell coming down the hall, I bet we going to lunch!!

They prescribe xanax and valium around here too, xanax is what we have going around when it's needed.. Like Terry said they make you not give 2 shits about anything. So when we deal with customers screaming for hours on end, you can pop one and calmly deal with them, without getting upset/emotional/overworked, etc. Things just don't matter. Which is why its an abused drug, people self-medicate to keep from having to deal with anything in life. I think there's a time and a place for anti-anxiety meds...and if you have anxiety attacks, definitely time and place!!
