  4. YUP HUGE FAN!!! Love the stuff. I can't get enough.
  5. YES, there is no reason why you can't use the Heimlich on a bandster.
  6. Dr. Billy said it could have been due to placement or my body just didn't like it or a stitch caused some irritation or the infection I had early on could have contributed. There was just no real clear answer to my erosion.
  7. DonnaB thank you for reposting the guidelines and rules. I find it rather strange that my name keeps coming into a conversation that I wasn't invited into. Rather Strange indeed!!
  8. You get some rest too. We both deserve it.
  9. RIGHT! Well how about starting on the 11th of Sept. I leave on the 30th of Aug and won't be home till the 11th. LOL!! :clap2:
  10. Today has been a difficult one not only mentally but physically. All the stuff going on LBT AGAIN has me mentally drained. Hence the Starbucks FIX today. Anyway, here is my report for the day. Today's plan accomplishment: I will follow my meal plans (1200 to 1500 Calories per day). (I am recommitting to this plan of action. I am committing to eating healthier and making better food choices. Will attempt to journal every morsel that goes into my empty cavern.) So far so good. Breakfast: Cup of Coffee 1/2 cup of whole grain cereal (Kashi Heart to Heart) YUMMY!! About 20 Blueberries with cereal Lunch: 1/2 Turkey Sandwich with lettuce & Tomatoe Three 20 oz glasses of Ice Tea w/ Equal 20 oz of water so far. Snack: UGH!! Venti Mocha Frap from Starbucks (450 calories right there, but oh so good) Dinner: Other half of Turkey Sandwich Two 20 oz glasses of Ice Tea w/ Equal 20 oz of water so far. I will exercise for a minimum of 20 min a day 4 days a week. (Working on this today is not gonna happen. Does working my fingers while typing count? Tomorrow is anutha day.) I will lose at least 1 lb a week. (Not even gonna stress over this one for a long long time. Just gonna walk the walk for now and whatever I get is gravy.) I will drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. (Getting in the water is easy.) Positive reinforcement mantras: I will continue to eat healthy and hope to lose weight. I will continue to exercise and hope to lose weight. I will continue to be proud of myself with all the accomplishments to date.
  11. Why is my name being involved in this discussion. I'm no longer banded. LOL!!! :faint:
  12. Hey ALI I got your gifts. I will post pics in a day or two. Can't wait to put the sheep together. Wearing the Earrings now. WIll use the other stuff immensely. TOO CUTE!!
  13. Dody because of your comments that are uncalled for and certainly to get a rise out of some I will NOW close and Lock this thread. This was and is the very behaviour I am speaking about. There was NO reason to bring up this comment on this thread. You already sent the Moderators a "reported post". Further, you have no idea if or when other members have been reprimanded or not. You seem to want it done publicly so therefore you are reprimanded from bringing up OLD issues where there is no business being brought up.
  14. TOO PFUNNY!!!!!!! :) :huggie: :ban:
  15. That is Susan's job. Of course that takes on a whole new meaning too. LOL!!
  16. I love it. I am laughing so hard over here. "HAND IN HAND"
  17. Come on now Telly you know you want in on this. You and your cute hair cut. LOL!!
  18. Betty unfortunately it appears that some members are NOT listening and taking the subtle hint. SIGH!!
  19. Dawg the funny thing is when I was in Nursing school our little group of 15 gave each other nicknames. This way when we were in the hospital we could call out the nickname and only we would know who was being called. Really cool idea and drove our instructor batty. Can you guess what my nickname was? YUP PENIS!! Only pronounced Pen is. Too funny. I got lots of looks when I answered. Had people thinking I was a tranvestite for awhile. I played along too. OOPS now my secret is out. LOL!!!
  20. Speaking of waste of Starbucks. I dropped a Venti Mocha Frap the other day and lost half of it. I nearly cried. Instead I just got a spoon and ate off the floor. Hey I ain't gonna waste a $5.00 drink. LOL!!!! No I was good and only drank the half that was still in the cup. SIGH!!! But man I wanted to grab a spoon. LOL!! The salad is from Claim Jumper's. I get a big one and then eat on it for lunch and supper. THey are HUGE!! And YUMMY!!! I have made them myself and they are just as good. The Mandarin Oranges give enough juice to make you think it is dressing. Really really good.
  21. Today has been a difficult one not only mentally but physically. I am diligently working on the HUGE jewelry order before I hit the road on the 30th. I wanna get as much done as possible. All the stuff going on LBT has me mentally drained and frustrated. Hence the Starbucks FIX today. Ran up and down the stairs today to and from my studio and nearly killed myself when I tripped UP the stairs. LOL!! No running anymore. Good thing I didn't have scissors in my hands. HUH?! LOL!!!! Anyway, here is my report for the day. Today's plan accomplishment: I will follow my meal plans (1200 to 1500 Calories per day). (I am recommitting to this plan of action. I am committing to eating healthier and making better food choices. Will attempt to journal every morsel that goes into my empty cavern.) So far so good. Breakfast: Cup of Coffee 1/2 cup of whole grain cereal (Kashi Heart to Heart) YUMMY!! About 20 Blueberries with cereal Lunch: BBQ sandwich w/ Fries (Yes I know it was bad so sue me) Three 20 oz glasses of Ice Tea w/ Equal 20 oz of water so far. Snack: UGH!! Venti Mocha Frap from Starbucks (450 calories right there, but oh so good) Dinner: 1 small salad with Blackened Chicken, Mandarin Oranges, Apples, Walnuts, Avocado, Sprinkle of Blue Cheese, NO DRESSING Two 20 oz glasses of Ice Tea w/ Equal 20 oz of water so far. I will exercise for a minimum of 20 min a day 4 days a week. (Working on this today is not gonna happen. My exercise for today is to run up and down the stairs to my jewelry studio. Tomorrow is anutha day.) I will lose at least 1 lb a week. (Not even gonna stress over this one for a long long time. Just gonna walk the walk for now and whatever I get is gravy.) I will drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. (Getting in the water is easy.) Positive reinforcement mantras: I will continue to eat healthy and hope to lose weight.

  22. OH TELLY I LOVE THE HAIRCUT. Looks great on you. Very sexy.
  23. We, Moderators, are not your mother's or father's to spank you when YOU KNOW you have been bad. If you hurt someone's feelings or say things in spite or just pure meanness then why does someone need to point that out. In fact, we do and have and will obviously continue to remind each and everyone of you the rules and guidelines EVERYONE agreed to when you joined this forum. It just amazes me that we as moderators have to repeat the same thing over and over and over again. Looks like people would get the message after awhile that nastiness, hatefulness, spitefulness, name calling, underhanded digs and barbs, will not be tolerated on LBT. It is just plain petty and childish to exhibit that kind of behaviour. I personally raised my children to be above that kind of attitude. If we, moderators, took the time to admonish each and every person that spoke harshly then we would spend all day long on here. I personally have better things to do than to spank people that know better. Sorry, but just a little frustrated about this whole subject.
  24. How long does it take for a package to get to someone in Canada? I mailed it on the 14th.
  25. PS: I wanna be Felix the Cat. Whenever he gets in a fix; He reaches into his bag of trix.
