I think you SHOULD cancel. I donate plasma and My Dr wanted me to stop for 2 month prior to surgery and 6 after. Ask YOUR Dr. for advice~ You want all your blood levels to show true. Nana~

OT: Waves to Strawarts! I have not seen you around in awhile! Welcome back! Nana~ I'm sorry the band is not working out for you I did not make it to goal in 2 years either I'm in fact 50 pounds away from goal I seem to be just maintaining now..I hope its just a phase if not I'll start the diet plans again too! Nana~

Definitely yes Nana~

If any thing just go and start taking the basic classes while you decide. If you ace all 3 of the tests then you may need to pick a lil faster lol. All 3 of the women and my hubby all have to take the math! LOL Also you may have time I'm not sure when your registration dates are- ours ends Sept 1st- you may have until the spring to chose your classes but go ahead and test etc now~ Nana~

Okies in order! 1st I went to my local college website (ACC here in TX) and from there linked to the F/Aide site where I filled out my F/A info. 2nd I went back to the college site and filled out an application to the college, you will need to know what your gong after. It's okay to pick something then change your mind I did it just causes more foot work later lol. I picked Education 4-8th at first. 3rd I went to cashiers office to pay for my test- 4th I had to go take the assessment test, it cost me 29.00 they say give yourself 5 hours to complete it I did it in 2 hr hubby did it in less than 1.. I'll confess Dropping out in 8th grade didn't do me any favors on the math section! That's the only part I failed though, it looked more like a spelling test with all those letters! So I have to take basic math. I passed Writing and English,. 5th Once you take the test you take your result papers AND you H.S transcripts OR G.E.D to the Admin. office. This is where you will pick your major or change it. Like I said I changed mine from Education 4-8th to A.S in Health and Science This is also where you will double check all your info SS number address phone all of it. 6th I went to sign in to speak with a counselor. They will answer any question and recommend starting classes. 7th I went to the college computer lab and signed into the website and chose my classes. I waited until the last min. so alot of the classes like my belly dance classes were all full So look at dates times days etc pick your classes. It's important to remember that a short semester class (6-8 weeks) will have just as much work as a full term semester class so keep it in mind when picking classes, I could not imagine doing double the work and homework in 8 weeks my head would pop! lol 8th okay- so now I take my printout of my classes I've registered for and go to the F/Aide office_ If you are not applying for F/Aide from here you would go pay for your classes. 9th I took my printout of classes to the school book store and got 2 of my 5 books USED~ 100.00 My math books are whats gonna cost me alot 89.00 each and I need 3... 10th I start class tomorrow, and I am waiting on my F/Aide to come in I don't get enough F/Aide to cover it all so a student loan will be issues once they see how much F/Aide I get in. Those were my 10 steps hope it helps some! If your thinking of going JUST GO! I been chicken so long I just decided to jump in w/ both feet! Also my sister in law (36) is starting college- and My Mother in_law (57) started last year! It's NEVER too late! Hugs! Nana~

Silly head Its too early for that! I read it 3 times I thought my computer was scrolling by itself! Wake up Nana~ hehe

Cheese eaters?!? Who me? I need help...Some serious help! Nana~

Welcome home! Hugs, Nana~

well I only can hope to do as good as Y'all! I start Tues, Hubby starts Wed. I will be F/T he will be P/T and the kids are back in School too! I will take a folder and a spiral on the first day to see what I'll need I start of with Govt Tues and Thurs then I pick up Stretch and flex on Friday. Someone told me they were wearing sweats to class so I think it will be alot of actually stretching That would be cool Okies 5:30 AM I'm up getting things ready for the kids to get to school lol Chat laters~ Nana~

I'm not 100% sure the site was down for punishment reasons lol but I hope it worked! I agree with the stand by the LBT rules or get banned. I was just making sure it wasn't just me having issues Nana~

Welcome to LBT and Band land! I too am in TX Sounds to me like you may be too tight, you might wanna have a chat w/ your Dr. I would not like it if I could only eat mash potato's and I love them! You need to be able to eat proteins (Meat) Again Welcome! Nana~

Ask your Dr. I sometimes can do hot dogs with bread sometime w/ out bread. Either way be careful! I've heard of hot dogs and recently blueberries getting stuck! Chew chew chew. Ask your Dr or nurse...they can only say yes or no Nana~

Banded two years and the ONLY regret I have is not doing it sooner! Nana~

I don't think the weekend maintenance had anything to do with old threads at least not that we have been told. It may have just been updating and adding new features OR testing new features to possibly add at a later time. In two years I've not heard of threads being deleted UNLESS it was the posters them self doing it. Nana~

EVERYONE falls off the train at some point and the very start is the hardest time (atleast for me it was) like it has been said. It's a new week a new begining a chance to get back on track! Dont give up! Nana~

nope that makes sense. My hubby has all of his books still he didnt know he could resell them lol. The lady at the shop told me as long as the spine is not damaged and there is no water damage they'll buy them back. UNLESS they have too many in stock then I'd have to sell at another store or wait. Nana~

okies now I do Nana~

I bought all my books used and was still 100.00 for 2 books! Some of them had writing in them, the ones I got had yellow highlighting in it. I looked thru a few hoping to get one that had good highlights in it lol I have no idea how reselling them works but thats a ways off anyhow Nana~

I dont see a poll Nana~

ooo, I'll have to ask about the tape recorder then! Donna, I'm going F/T taking Govt (Texas politics)-Basic Math- Public speaking- Stretching and flexibility class- and athletic injuries class. 5 classes 13 hours I start Tuesday with my Govt class then stretch and flex starts Friday and so on picking one up at a time until I'll have all five going in the end of sept. Sounds like I need to go thru the extra school supplies closet and dig me out some stuff! Nana~

my eyes my eys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nana~

hehe Okies sounds silly but I wanna see belly buttons! Esp if they have button rings! My belly button seems to frown meaning I have that hangover skin a lil bit on the top, I see girls with smiling belly buttons and get jealous I have been wanting one but I feel I'm still too big for it Even though I have lost weight I still see the 264 pound me in the mirror... I wanna see some cute bellybuttons to motivate me on deciding if I want it or not! Also I want hip tattoos anyone out there with hip tats? just wondering... Back to the belly buttons...If you have the rings did it hurt much? Do they get caught on clothing? Healing times? do they still ooze? crust? hurt? Nana~

I went to Fiesta Texas yesterday! I got burned on my front side and rode lots of roller coasters and today Im going to the pool to try and even out my burn We had a blast Nana~

I dont mind mild things like the caps of each word, but I cant really read the ones that are whole stories WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS!! LIKE THEY ARE YELLING AT ME! It sorta makes my eyes bug out~ oh Im not complaing so telly can still like me Nana~

Heya I start my first time in college on Tuesday! I am so nervous! like a kid! I went and got 2 of my books, next payday I'll buy the other books those classes dont start until later~ What do I need? Do I need a back pack? A folder? notebook paper? lol I have no idea what you take to college! one of my things is a lecture! Can I bring a tape recorder? I have no idea what I'm doing! I am so excited though! Tuesday is going to be a very big day for me!!! Nana~
