Nancy you crack me up. I hear ya though.

WITCH!!! 66 lbs YOU SUCK!!!!!! You know I love ya

Lisa, by now we have both proven to each other time and time again that we have this connection. I woke up at 6:30 this morning and thought something was happening I needed to know about. I wasn't scared or upset just knew that something was happening out in the etheral world and I needed to be aware of it. SO now I know what that THING was. I am so pleased and crying for you as well. I know how hard it has been to stay strong through all this crap but you have been like a rock. The port issues will resolve themselves and you know I will be right there holding your hand when you wake up either way. I will hold your hand all the way. There will be all of us holding you up all along the way. So for this short period of time where you won't have control we as your band brothers and sisters will hold you up. I love ya girl.

If you guys wanna send an ornament then get on the ball and send it off. Party is December 19th Sunday. Send me an email Penni60@aol.com and I will send you my home address. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Santa: Here is my list of what I want? 1. World peace so everyone that is in harms way can be home celebrating instead of fighting. 2. World hunger eradicated forever. No one should ever go to bed hungry in this world. 3. Band healthy for eternity. Do not want to worry about erosion ever again. And if that is too much to ask for then 4. I want a Canon EOS Rebel digital camera with all the accessories. 5. Diamond ring and a marriage proposal 6. Trip to Jamaica in January for a week.

Just got rid of a bunch of mine too. I am in 16/18 now. WHOO HOO!!! WOW haven't been in those for ages.

Sally: You can find him by clicking on Members list at the top of the page then clicking on "A" then finding his name ALEX (he is the only Alex listed) then just send him a PM through this site. Hope this helps.

Went to the site leatha but which jerky are you referring to. The only one listed was the teriyaki. Is that the one?

You can send Alex a PM and ask him (he owns the site) to see how to do that. I personally think the only way is to re-register and use a different user name. Editing your profile is simple. Go to USER CP located at the top left hand blue tool bar and then click on the Edit Profile link on the Left hand side. If you have anymore problems let me know and I will see about helping you.

Hey just curious, are there any Pacificare of Calif people out there and if so how long to get approved and what obstacles did you run into? I have had the surgery and now filing to get them to reimburse. Thanks.

Hey FRAN: Where are you? Hope all is well and your surgery was typical and no complications. Come and let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it. Don't rush it and take this time to heal. We'll keep a light on for you.

Yeah what Whipple said! And then some. Doesn't he just have a way with words? Tellie: let me put this bug in your ear. She calls and informs you of a great deal but there is a deadline. You rush to make the arrangements. She calls and says she missed the deadline. Doesn't this sorta sound like she did it on purpose to get more money out of you? I am a suspicious person by nature. I do alot of booking flights online and I have never heard of deadlines for flights. I have heard of flights costing more if not booked farther out than two weeks. You should complain to the heavens. You should not pay the cancellation fees I would call the airlines personally and ask for a credit on your next flight plan. I would tell the booking agency to just try to get the $100 cancellation fee out of me. I would not authorize them to use your credit card for it. You should NOT have to pay anything else for anything since it was NOT your fault for the mix up. This is NOT a friend of yours if she isn't going to fix it for you. I certainly would not use her to book my flights anymore. By the way, call or PM or email (penni60@aol.com) and I will be happy to find a good flight for you anytime. I do it all the time for myself, my family, and yes my friends. I have never had a complaint. I have been doing this for almost 5 years now. Travel Agencies are for the most part a good thing but mostly they collect extra fees for finding you somthing you can find online or just by calling the airlines yourself. Anyway, step away from the food and grab that phone and take your frustration out on the appropriate problem. We all support you Tellie. Love the name by the way.

Let me know the details of when and where and I will see if I can swing it. Sounds like bunches of fun.

I am sitting here just cracking up and yes, wait for it, farting too. LOL!! When Lisa arrived at the house, I slung open the door and opened my arms for a big ole hug and out popped the fart from Lisa. I laughed so hard. I said welcome home. LOL!!

OK I agree GREAT IDEA MEGAN. If you are interested in sending me an ornament to put on the tree then send me an email at Penni60@aol.com and I will reply with my mailing address. The party will be on the 19th of December so I would need the ornaments by then. I can always add them later if they come after that but it would be nice to put them on that day. One other thing please place your name somewhere on the ornament so I know who it is from. This is so exciting. I will post a pic of everyone's ornament once it is on the tree. Then I will post a pic of the whole tree once decorated. I am all verklempt now. So emotional. LOL!!!!

Pam: we all love it when it comes time for the Tree Trimming party. So much festive fun and one year we decorated the tree with a HUGE ladder. We had someone that straddled the top to put the star up there. It was HUGE I tell you. 13 ft tall tree. Gorgeous but HUGE. Great idea for a tree trimming shower party. Loads of fun. Post pics please.

Pam: HUGE CONGRATS GRANNY. Aren't grandchildren the best? Spoil them and send them home. LOL!!!!

Jamaica did someone say Jamaica?? I am sooooooooooooo there. When we leaving? I don't care when we are coming back. LOL I might not come back. Whose with me? Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Thanks Alex for starting this thread. Great idea!

You know I have thought about this post all day. This post has consumed our lives for the last few days and that is unacceptible to me. I for one will make a conscious effort to not be sucked into the vortex again like I was this time. For those of us that know our own experiences with particular doctors only we can speak to that and only we can determine how it will color our weight loss journey. I refuse to let my bad experiences dictate my journey. Margret I apologize to you for being snippet and rude because I know I was. I should not have allowed myself to be sucked into that arena. It won't happen again. Everyone else I apologize for including you in this communication. I know you didn't have to participate but we are such a family here that when one is attacked or it is a perceived attack we all descend on the attacker. Thank you for that but this post has changed what we all have come to love about this site. We need to take back the loving and caring and nurturing aspect we come here everyday to find. Thank you everyone.

It is so much easier when you have your partner working with you. I envy you both all that support and encouragement. I am not saying mine is supportive it is just easier to deal with when they know what you are really going through. Keep up the great job guys. Awesome Job!!! And yes I agree "GOD IS GOOD!"

Yeah this is an annual event around here for us. So I thought I would extend the invite to you guys as well. I know it is hard to travel for somethign like this during this time of year, but wanted to invite you guys anyway. There is always the March Bash for the 5K walk.

OK I have been really bad the last couple of days. I have done ZERO exercising. Yesterday was in bed all day with a migraine. The day before it was just to flipping cold to exercise outside and I am soooooooooooo not motivated to do it inside. So, today I thought I will get up and walk. Guess what? No walking for me today. I was playing and posting all darn day on another thread on this site. TOmorrow I go see Dr. Billy for a check up and most likely won't do anything tomorrow either. OK I felt a smack up side my head. WHO WAS IT?? I promise mom & dad I will do better. I promise I will. Can't I have the chocolate cookie now? (skulking in corner waiting for the other shoe to drop)

WHOO HOO!! Welcome on board the bandwagon Melanie. Please do come and fill us in on how you are doing. Take it easy and sip sip sip slowly. Give your stomach time to rest and heal. Let the lbs drop.

Judy: If I am not mistaken all or MOST anyway will tell you that. They don't wanna pay for the procedure period. You have to prove co-morbidities and have your doc write them a letter. Alexandra on here can best direct you what to do next. Don't give up hope just yet. I will say a prayer for you that the new year brings you everything you desire. OK well maybe not what you desire, but how about this weight loss and becoming healthier. IS that doable?
