Right? Ditto.

PJTP: I'm really having one of those days. I've already bitched out a lawyer, 2 contract administrators, an operations manager, a sales manager and 3 sales people. I still have a lot of bitching left in me. TOM is really killer this month because it decided to skip last month. Also, I just embarrassed the hell out of myself at the gas station. I was trying to put gas in my car (DH came through with the Mercedes for Valentine's) and couldn't figure out how to open up the frickin gas tank. I read the quickie manual and it didn't have anything in it. I looked at all the damned buttons and didn't see an obvious one although the trunk did pop a couple of times. I finally found the "refueling" page on the big manual and it said I had to unlock the car from the hand remote. That didn't work. So back in the car and read again - then I saw what I missed. I had to unlock the car with the hand remote and then push the magic portal on the gas cover in just the right spot. Anyway, it took me 15 minutes to figure it out. I was almost in tears. This is exactly what happened to me the first time I tried to gas up my very first car (Trans Am) when I was 16. I actually did cry that time and the nice police man asked me why I was crying and I told him it was because my car was defective since it didn't come with a gas thingie. He laughed, patted me on the shoulder and pulled the license plate to show me that my car did indeed come with a gas thingie. He even pumped the gas for me. Now you all can stop laughing at me and resume PJTP.

Hello, my name is Donna and I'm a Mob Wars addict. So, get your asses on facebook and friend me so you can join my mob. I need the bodies!

Karri, I hope everything turns out OK. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

I made some nasty cracks on the Biggest Loser Thread. A lot less is going to like me a lot less.

Well, duh. Yeah, I was wondering about all that drama... I wonder what kind of conversation was going on in Blaine's house when that episode aired? Why were you proud? It's not as if they're your children who did the right thing. Personally, I thought it was BS. Me, not so much. I like the mom but find the daughter annoying and ugly. At least the pink daughter was pretty. On that we agree. I didn't mean to pick your post apart but for some reason, it just rubbed me the wrong way. TMI - it's TOM for me. Yeah, I never picked up on anything prior but that episode sure did try to imply something... I was thinking the same thing! I fell asleep watching it on DVR playback. DH had to tell me who got voted off. As for the Brown Dad, he clearly doesn't belong there and he completely grosses me out.

Because you want her to put a good word in for you? Seriously, I think it's because deep down inside, like me, you can't help but lend a hand to the underdog, even when the underdog clearly needs an ass whipping. Drugs are rampant everywhere, even in high society. Yay! WTG! I can't wait until I only have smalls in my closet. Evil woman -- are you trying to tempt us? I'm dying to try fried pickes. Don't know how I've managed to avoid them all these years in the south. How was your first day? After 5 days of liquid diet, I only lose 2-3 lbs. Weight just loves to cling to me and every single ounce fights to stay on. Kat - I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she recovers soon. Glouc - let's get together and play cards and drink wine this weekend.

My period came today. It just completely skipped the month of January. It's never done that before. Anyway, now I'm free to get a fill so I scheduled one for next Tuesday. I'm going to ask for just .25 cc this time. Normally I don't tell them how much, they've always just put in .5 cc after the first attempt at 1 cc which turned out way too much at once.

I love it! Sounds just like them.

I never want to go through that again. I didn't realize that about FB, are you sure those bats on the View had all the facts?

PG says she likes me so I'm confident she's telling God every day what a lovely person I am. My DH plucks mine every evening while we snuggle on the couch in front of the TV. He finds it relaxing and says it's the best way for him to destress from the day. My legs have never been smoother and I don't get any knicks or razor bumps. PJTP: Whew! I'm really feeling that slight unfill these days. I'm hungry a lot and can eat way more than I should so I'm struggling to stop at some reasonable point. The problem is, even when I've been good on portion control, because of all the darned Valentine's treats and Girl Scout Cookies laying around, I'm chowing on that too! Yikes! Anyway, I've scheduled another fill for next Tuesday. This time I'm going to ask for just .25 cc. They've always given me .5 cc increments because I'm sensitive to fills but I think I'm at a point where .25 cc is what I really need. If it's not enough, I can always go back and add another .25 cc.

We need to plan a PJTP meet up. Let's all invade Lulu's ranch.

Beth, in my official capacity as Princess, I now dub you as "Commando Beth" :rose:

Fanny, I'm not quite where you are but I can relate. I'm thinking if I can just get .25 cc instead of .5 cc, then maybe that'll do the trick but I'm not sure if they will do .25 increments since they've always done .5 cc increments. I guess I can ask.

Janet, you are so skinny!

I seriously doubt the illegal immigrants will win this lawsuit but IF they do, then it most certainly will be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. There's no doubt how that will turn out.

I wasn't getting stuck at all. I was experiencing reflux at night waking me up at 1:30 AM every night for 2 weeks straight. During the day, I had no issues whatsoever. I got .5 cc taken out on 2/5. I was at 4.5 and got .5 cc to take me to 5 cc in an 8 cc band on 12/2 and everything was fine until about the 3rd week of January which was when I started waking up with reflux. It wasn't burning, just really gross.

I've been called worse. :biggrin: She loves it there. She's been living there for nearly 20 years. Her husband was in the Army and stationed at Fort Huachuca. The cost of living has become out of sight. They bought a modest 3 bedroom home for $105,000 in 1995 and sold it for $330,000 in 2005 which allowed them to buy a 20 year old home on a 3 acre lot nestled in the foothills of the mountains. They are currently working on remodeling the house.

That was my exact situation. I'm really looking forward to getting that tiny fill back but I have to let a couple of stressful situations clear up first so I don't end up too tight again.

Good luck! Office is closed today. Kids are off school (the haven't been in past years so this is the first year I have to share President's Day with the kids). DH is at work, they never close for anything but the major holidays.

Good deal on the fill. Strange about the in-laws--oh well, at least you don't have to deal with them on a regular basis. Didn't like working from home? I love it but it's good to go in to the office from time to time, too. I seriously need another fill -- the .5 cc removal has completely opened up my band and my appetite is fierce!

That just sucks crzytchr. On a separate note, my daughter is a girl scout and we have way too many GS cookies in the house. It's a really, really dangerous thing. I pigged out on Caramel Delights and Thin Mints last night. Since my unfill, I DEFINITELY have a much bigger appetite. It's amazing what .5 cc can do. I need to get some put back in but I need to wait until my period returns to normal cycle. I missed my last period and it's been almost a month already. I think I may be entereding into perimenopause. For those of you wondering, no, I am not pregnant. I had a tubal ligation 8 years ago but just to be safe, I did do a pregnancy test and it's negative. I am so regular and consistent on my periods I could practically predict it to the hour.

Brad, you look like you're at goal. Great job. I really need to start exercising again. For those of you on this thread, how long after you started exercising did you start noticing the effects on the scale and muscle tone?

C'mon down. Then we'll come and hang out at your ranch. :thumbup:
