Wow, I'm super dooper jealous here. Speedy good healing vibes to you. Wow, how cool!

Going to California for an appointment with my Band surgeon. Dr. Billy is such a great guy that he is seeing me on a holiday. I'm invading John & Penni's house. I'll be flying home just before fireworks, so this will be an odd 4th of July for me. Betty, you better have a camera cuz those are my kinda plans.

Kansascitygal, please get your band looked at immediately. That's not normal - at all. Call Lopez and demand to speak with him directly. You need to have the band looked at through x-ray and/or endoscopy (where they put a camera down your throat to look directly at the band.)

Thanks for shrinking that pic - that's Kitty Milo into the toilet paper. What fun!

OOPS, fix, please!

Reminds me of a snack for a kid's party called, Boogers-on-a-Stick. You melt Velveeta or Nacho cheese and add green food color. Then you serve the kids pretzle sticks and let them dip in the cheese for Boogers on a Stick.

This morning Penni was justly concerned that Bob Nard wasted two perfectly good Cheetos, so I told Bob how wrong he was for doing so. Here's his response: I didn't waste the Cheetos, I fed them to the birds and when nobody was looking I put them back in the bag.

I was doing really good with my dairy diet last week, but then comes the weekend and ruins all my hard work.

Things are too slow here today, so let's stir up some new threads! I've been hearing a lot of commercials lately about how dairy products help the body lose weight. I just bought a bunch of dairy products, and even the Yoplait Yogurt says, "Recent research shows that dairy foods may help you burn more fat and lose more weight than counting calories alone." The commericials say to get in 4 servings. Anyone else care to join my daily dairy challenge? I'm having a glass of milk with pills for Breakfast, a cup of yogurt a couple hours later, cheese with lunch, and darn, looks like I'll have to force an ice cream down for dinner.

Green Tea works like any other magic diet potion. Stop eating crap, eat tiny portions, exercise, and drink tons of Water. Then have some green tea with no added sugar or honey and you'll lose weight. Magic. I drink tons of green tea but I'm still mucho fatto.

Nard is a handful!!!!! He's the world's biggest flirt but is married to the most timid, sweet, shy gal. Oh, he makes her SOOOO mad! There's only one Nard, that's for sure! He's about the toughest SOB I've ever known with the softest spot for women that you just gotta love him.

Trauma Nurse, my sister gave me an Abba CD. Remember them? As I looked at your wedding picture, the song, "I do, I do, I do" started playing. Damn, got me all teary. Too bad we can't add background music to this thread! And now I miss Nana. She's adorable. One thing I know how to do is have fun. I wish I could figure out how to make money on all the fun I have! Paula, I'm starting to get into that good lookin' hubby! I'd have gone fishing with him and the boys!

Vooey and AuntElena (he says AuntiLaina)

My sister came this weekend from California and just sent me these shots of here niece and nephews:

My first-born.

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them. - Phil Pastoret

Now I'm sunburned, fat and tired. More pics next week. Everyone else, keep them coming.

Lou & Sue - two of my favorite peeps. They have their own street named after the family so their address is the same as their last name. We are extremely jeoulous.

More of my peeps but I just want you to see the amazing day and beauiful lake that was my view this morn.

Here's one of my peeps, Bob Nard. Yep, this is the kinda people I hang out with. Big surprise?

Here's me & my Peeps this morning at Starbucks way at the back of our bikes getting ready for our Sunday ride. Mine's the orange one in the middle.

I posted this elsewhere, but this thread seems more appropriate. I'm the toothless one, sister abover me. She would seriously hurt me if she knew I posted this. We were geeks, what can I say?

Freddy got the looks, the big blue eyes, and all the money. But Elena and I did get eating disorders, personality disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders, so at least we're interesting.

Penni, you said you went nuts... where's the rest? Keep on posting!
