  6. Sorry to hear about your delay. But if Sandy was that close to you, I am glad everything else is ok for you.

    I love curves, BUT, I am 48, arthritis in both knees so I needed a lower impact type gym. Pre arthritis, I would have wanted more selection than curves has to offer. They do offer free trial days to see if you like it. The gym that is the most convenient, to me, is the best gym for me. I don't need excuses not to go. If that could happen to you as well, I'd pick the gym next to you

    Does anyone go to curves? Here I am on Halloween. [ATTACH]25043[/ATTACH]
  11. Very funny my dear ; )
  12. Thanks for the lab toy tips. I wish I could move as fast as him. He can get into the trash, laundry basket, surf the counter top in 10seconds flat! [ATTACH]25042[/ATTACH]
  13. Sweet Caroline, I can tell you are a good girl. Just be thankful those crabby people are typing their frustrations and not yelling at their kids, spouses, etc.
  14. My Archibald(named afyer my grandfather) is a goldenretriever/black lab mix. He's a year this month. He chews Everything still. I raised two great sons, but the husband and dogs, they are a different story.
  15. The face only an owner can trust! And the doberman looks hungry!!!!!
  16. I am sooooo old school. One stud on each ear is all I can handle. Seeing hoops even makes me nervous. What if they get caught? OUCH And the finger, it would tear just putting my hand in my jeans pocket. OUCH again.
  17. My local hospital is a satellite from a hospital in Boaton. Bluecross wants to check, double check, and triple check it certified(or something like that).
  18. I am pre op so I can't give advise but I can give support. Check out the posts there are many that discuss ups and downs.
  19. Thank goodness for posts like this. My doc never mentioned the gass pains and I would be in a full panic attack experiencing these symptoms. Grateful for the heads up!
  20. Do you have a team(doc, nutritionist, counselor) that you saw pre op? My advise would be call asap. I have a team, I don't know if everyone does. Maybe just check with your general practitioner. Good luck, and hope you are feeling much better soon. Drink drink drink, protein, protein, protein, vitamins, vitamins, vitamins.
  21. Icky! Make it go away!!! Not very regal, princess.
  22. I would love to join you! My surgery was scheduled for 10/30, and insurance delayed so my date is now up in the air. This could be just the emotional boast I need while I wait.
  23. You are very wise, grasshopper!(depending on how old you sre, you may get what I mean) At any rate, less beats more. Great job!!
