Hey, Good question. I think that Americans are much more conservative than Europeans and Australians are to be honest. I also think Americans are more into religion etc etc than we are. I love you yanks though all the same. Feel the love people. Susannah

Hey Heather, I feel your pain. Builders have been building an apartment block for the last 10 months across the street from mine.Ahhh! The noise. I wish they would just eff off! Susannah

Hey, Australian 60 minutes did a big expose on Benny Hinn a couple of years ago. He had the chutzpah to tell some parents of terminally ill children that if they would only believe more faithfully ,their children would be healed completely. Absolute shyster in my book. And he has a fugly hairdo;) Susannah

Exactly.Good on ya Alex.:biggrin1: You are what we Aussies call an absolute legend!!!! Susannah

Hey, The ads also don't phase me. I just ignore them here like I do everywhere else. Susannah

:biggrin1: :biggrin1: 'Zactly Mark. I hates me some American Idol. Are we bloody adults or what? Don't like it don't read it. Susannah

Hey Jacqui, There are many good things about living further out too, such as lots of fresh air and lots of parks and room to move. Each has their advantages. Green I am renting but I wish I could afford to buy inner city. As Jacqui said it has become very expensive here. I also love shopping and the cafe life too. My older sister and her kids live in the country in a very beautiful little town, and I enjoy escaping up there when I need to leave the madness of the city rat race. Susannah

Hey Green, Sometimes I can't sleep and I turn on the TV and those scary televangelists are on. Something about Benny Hinn really creeps me out to be honest. He does the whole "healing" circus sideshow where he pushes people to the ground violently etc etc. It is so fake. Who is auditing the money he is fleecing out of the faithful flock also? Susannah

Hey, I live in an inner city area where everything is at my doorstep so I don't need a car. I am much happier since I don't have one to be honest. Susannah

Hey Tj, Would love to catch up for a coffee with your good self or anybody else that would like to. Unfortunately I am working tomorrow. Promise we will soon. I had another fill yesterday of .5 mls. I only have 2.5mls in my band. They are very happy with my ongoing weight loss. I would rather have less fill and be a little strict with myself, than be too tight and risk pain and vomitting etc. Hope everybody else is doing well, both post ops and pre ops. Yay. Susannah

Hi All, Hope you are all well and losing heaps! :clap2: Susannah

Hey, I take Centrum broken in half every morning. I am also taking Biotin for my hair loss. I have the thickest hair but have been losing it in clumps lately. I was told it should grow back normally once I have lost all my weight and it has stabilised. Susannah

Hey Deanna, I no longer have a car. I don't really need one, and it is better for my health and finances not to have one. I feel good about it too because I am contributing to less damage to the environment. The less people drive cars the better in my book. Susannah

Hey, I must admit to not being very familiar with Falwell. Was he the guy that was lampooned in "The people vs Larry Flynt"? You know who I think is a real bloody freak bubble? That creepy Benny Hinn. Susannah

Hey Lauren, Go easy on him. Miscarraige must be devastating. This is a time to be very soft and gentle with them both. Susannah

Hey A, Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!:biggrin1: No more food fairs mate!!! Susannah

Hey, I saw some cute Medic alert bracelets on jewelbasket.com Still not sure if we really need to have one though. Susannah

Cathy I really feel Mark's post was very heartfelt and full of concern. It is a very dire situation for this young lady. Of course we all wish only the best for her, but we can't turn away from the truth. We all had our own personal dire truth that we have all had to face. Susannah

Hey, Is this really necessary? I also have Multiple Sclerosis but I have a card for that in my wallet. I guess I just did not want to advertise the fact that I am banded and have MS in the workplace etc. Any nursing/medical staff want to weigh in on this? Susannah

Hey. Love it!!!:biggrin1: Mate no thanx to the PB though! I used to love Snickers pre banding. Susannah

Hey Juli, I was never a Zsa Zsa, Just a Shoshie, Susie or Susannah. My Grandparents names, Bela and Kati. My Great Grandmother was Karolina. My name of course is Hebrew as is my middle name which is Emmanuelle. Yay. Shosh

Absolute perfection! They are gorgeous. Susannah

Today by the Smashing Pumpkins in one of my faves also. Metallica, Mary J Blige,Patsy Cline, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, John Fogerty, etc etc etc... Susie

Hey Louise, Sorry you have been having this occur. Could it possibly be anxiety? I only ask because about a month before I was banded I had a severe panic attack and actually called the ambulance to come to my house because my heart was racing out of my chest. They assured me that it was not my heart, but anxiety. I always keep a brown paper bag on my bedside table now that I can breathe into if I start getting heart palpitations. It has not occured recently though thankfully. I hope you can get to the bottom of it though. Be well. Susannah

Hey Mark, Is there actually a Coyote Ugly bar? I thought it was just a movie. Now we all know what Hooters is about! Not owls anyway.:biggrin1: I would like to go overseas to Europe and Israel. I am pretty broke at the moment, so I need a Genie to grant me a few wishes. Susannah
