  1. Oh, and just to piss you all off good for the night, the guy at the LBS said that I had one of those cheater things (referring to the lapband)!!! I said, "Hey, I have worked my butt off for every pound I have lost!!!! He told me everyone should get to have one of those things.....grrrrr....FREAKIN GET ONE THEN AHOLE!!!
  2. Good job on the big fast ride tonite J!!! You are kicking your weights ass!!!! Where is JC???? Thanks for all the happy birthdays!! I fixed Zatarains Black Bean and Rice with hamburger for dinner and am just fine with that. Why has eating out been such a huge part of birthdays???? I am stopping this NOW....with the birthday!!! NO more eating out just because it is someones birthday!!! Once in awhile, but not my immediate family!!!! NO MORE!! I mean it!! So, next week is my DD bday. Where do you all think I should take her to eat????? JUST FREAKIN KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There truly is no reason to celebrate someones birthday with food! I think I may just have myself convinced of this, now to tell the family!!!!
  3. HUGE difference. (sorry post got cut off) It was 45.00. With the tires and tubes yesterday and now the saddle, I have a new bike.....LOL...Anyways, off to eat and then get some more saddle time. I am liking this new word, saddle, kinda reminds me of being on a horse....back in the saddle again!!!
  4. Okay, all, just back from the LBS and got a Womens Performance LX-1 Niva saddle. It is hard as hell from my comfy one, but, I rode it home and it is great. I love it already. I can tell a
  5. Well, the world does revolve around our baby biker bitch!!!! We have to look out for our baby!!! I do believe all the tramua was due to you leaving. DON'T DO IT AGAIN DAMMIT!!! Going to get my new saddle here soon...I'm so excited!!!
  6. I just saw it on MSN news or something like that. It was on when I turned my computer on.
  7. yeah, pretend to have a rope just like they are. It says the rope "talks" to you as you are doin it, well, I can talk to myself pretty darn good.
  8. OMG BG, I thought I was gonna die on the floor when I saw what is under your name. That is the best ever!!!!! You rock!!! This is so true about JC, but I didn;t want him to feel left out of the bitch crowd!!
  9. BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad you are home!!!!!!!Very traumatic shit happened around here since you were gone!!!! Good thing you are back. You need to control your temper!!!! Its a good thing that is all the damage you did to your bike, you silly girl!!!
  10. Okay, JC, you are the only uncertified bike bitch...you need to change under your picture. This is a club and if your gonna be part of it you need to conform. Florida Cycle Biooooootch!!! That is what needs to be under your name. J, what we hear about Las Vegas??? Good news, bad news, no news??? Everyone keeps asking me today if we are going out to eat or going to have cake and ice cream....FOR GODS SAKE PEOPLE, JUST BECAUSE IT IS YOUR BDAY DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO EAT ALL FREAKIN DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.....
  11. The first thought that came to my mind was WHY??? I had daughter do exactly what they were doing without having their jump rope in her hands. I say save the 60 bucks and buy some good shoes!!!
  12. Starr Jones did have gastric bypass!!! I say good for her!!! We all want to be healthy and live longer, and who cares if she didn't want to tell anyone. It IS her life and her body!!!! I didn't want anyone to know that I had the band, in case I failed at it. But now that I am not failing and I am doing so good, I don't really care who knows!!! I say screw em if they can't deal with the fact that I want to be here to see my great grandchildren, who cares how I get to that point!!
  13. LOL...this made me laugh. I actually picked up a jump rope to buy the other day and then put it back down. Maybe I will have to get one now and see if I can do it.
  14. Yes, it is the taking away of our privacy that will be the issue here, and it will come to that at some time.
  15. LOL jm...sorry to laugh, but I was just thinking about the panic attack. Before, it would of been a panic attack if someone in the family wanted to buy something that would cut into my eating out budget!!! That hit a funny bone for me....Sorry about the ipod. You probably were sweating up a storm looking for that thing anyways!!
  16. Where is the hernia? You can do it girls!! You are doing awesome!!
  17. We went camping this weekend and I actually could sit on the toilet in the trailer and NOT have my a$$ touch the walls!!! WOOOO FREAKIN HOOOOOO!!! It was great!!!
  18. Three women and a goat, huh??? Sounds like you like in Idaho!!! HP, I did change out my tires and tubes. I got a dual sport tire by serfas called barista. When we went riding last night my speed increased by about 3 miles an hour at least. At places where usually I am going only 10 or less mph, I was going 13 or higher!!! SO, I don't really know if it was the tires or the fact that I hadn't ridden since Friday. Either way, I love the new speed. I am getting a new saddle today for my Bday and maybe some shoes and clips. You are riding too far on the wrong seat if your ass hurts like that. Thats what the LBS told me. I am doing the same thing. I actually found out that I don't have a hybrid, I have a sport comfort bike!!! Now that was a freakin shock. A hybrid had the littler tires on it and handle bars like a mountain bike. A sport comfort you sit straight up and have the bigger tires. They are meant to be ridden a little ways, but not the distance I am going. I wonder if you have a sport comfort too? What kind of bike do you have? J, the bread story was just hilarious. I was thinking that if you didn't have the band, it might have been you who was eating that loaf of bread!!! THANK GOD FOR THE BAND!!!
  19. LMAO J!!!! I was gonna say he is a typical man if he wants three women!!!! Rain might be good, will keep you cool!!
  20. Mine was about 12,000 for doc, hospital, anesthesia, one year of post op fills and monthly work with diet., exercise physiologist. Pre op pysc. was extra.
  21. Monday 30th a.m. Bowflex strength training. p.m. 11 miles bike riding
  22. AWEEEEEEEE, you guys are sooooo sweet. I really didnt think anyone would miss me. I thought you would be GLAD I was gone!!! Oh, and I wanted to smack the lipgloss off of her, but she has braces and I didn't want to be responsible for breaking her lips open..LMAO!!!! Needless to say, bratzy, is NEVER going anywhere with us again!!!! Back to today, DD's bday is a week from tomorrow!!! 13!!!! EEEKKKK!! God how I wish she were five again!!! Not really, but please, she is going to give me a heart attack. Too cute for her own good. AND BLONDE!!!! Oh boy, am I in trouble. I am going biking tonight, 20 miles or more...going to go get the skinnier tires and seat...so, hopefully we will like it!!! J, that is what the LBS guy said, that a road bike you feel EVERY jolt, rock, hole...EVERYTHING!!! SO, I just might have changed my mind about the road bike. We will see though!! JC, so glad that you are up and back to work. Two weeks is nothing!! You can do it. Just think about how much money you have invested and you don't want to mess that up. We are rooting for ya!!!! I am not really sure there is a woman out there that could keep up with you!!! Good luck in finding her!!!! You are an animal, if you go like this all the time I would hate to see what happens when you are 80!!!!! You will be the first known 80 year old to bungey jump, then do it again, then again!!!! You rock, and I love that you have soooo much energy!!! HP, sorry about your pups. That is sad. I am happy about your riding though...that is great!!!! I am taking pictures soon!!!!!! I mean it!!! LOL....
  23. I think it is a horrible idea. Not only is it going to start at Alzheimers patients, but will end up going to everyone born in a hospital. I could do without the government knowing where I am at every given moment and being scanned when I go into a store. It is insane and an infringement of my rights. This is going to go way beyond the alzheimer patient, maybe not in my lifetime, but it will.
  24. LOL!!! Here I am, and yes, recovering is right!!! I am in Mountain time. So, I got up about half hour ago, but feel great today. BOY, was I a grouch without my exercise this weekend. The little snobby friend was just about to get dunked in the water!!! She sat in the boat the whole time and wouldn't go tubing with my DD. It was just annoying. Tubing time is when DH and I get to catch up on all the dirty talk we have missed out on in your lifetime of starting out our relationship with a 4 year old already, so this put a damper on the situation. It wasn't so much that she didn't want to tube as much as it was she didn't want to do anything but sit in the trailer where it is nice and clean and not do anything. On Sunday we were out fishing about noon, and she asks my DD when we were going home. DD tells her she doesn't know, why? The friend says, I need to get home, I have things to do, SHE IS 12 FOR GODS SAKE!!! WHAT in the hell does she have to do???? I said, well, you can call your parents, but we are fishing now. So, she calls her dad and BEGS for him to come and get her, BEGS AND PLEADS, and I hear her say, they want to fish and I don't want to. Then I hear her say, it is tooooo hot dad!!! Please come and get me.....then PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, THIS went on and on and on and on....finally I am like, lets just go hunny. We pull the boat out of the water and are getting everything ready to go and she asks my DD for the trailer keys so she can get her clothes because her dad is coming!!! WTF???????????????????????????????????????? We just pulled the freakin boat out of the water, loaded up all the shit, and NOW SHE TELLS US HER DAD IS COMING????? Jeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhussssssssssss, I was livid!!!!!!!! Her dad was a little pissed when he got there and we were hooked up and ready to go home. I bet he was wondering why she couldn't of just rode home with us since we were already hooked up and ready. I was too mad to even talk to her or him at that point. I know she is only 12, but use some common sense here. So, now that THAT drama is over, we got home and got everything cleaned up and put away and I couldn't even type last night, I tried four times to type a message and kept hitting some freakin button that would erase it all, so I just went to bed. I fell asleep without my CPap machine on, and was fine. Although I did wake up an hour later, but I did not wake up choking, I just woke up, but I put it on then. I can't wait to get rid of that stupid stupid machine!!!! HP, wooooo freakin hhooooooooo about being in the 70's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the BEST feeling when you go down to the next decade!!! I love it!!! I am teetering on the 230's and can't wait!!!! I tried my wedding dress on the other day and it almost fit. I am thinking I was about 220 when I got married, so I can't wait until it fits. I don't know what DH will think of me, since he has never known me skinny. Well, I think I was about 180 when we met, but I really can't remember. I do know I was wearing 18/20 clothes when we met. J, You look sooooo cute on your bike!! and don't downplay the up front situation. UP FRONT IS UP FRONT no matter how or why you are there!!!!! LOL... I think the LBS guy has talked me into putting skinnier smoother tires on my bike and a different seat instead of getting a new bike. We really don't have any flat roads around here, and he really thinks that I would do better with the skinnier tires, not as skinny as a road bike, but way skinnier than what my hybrid has now, and a smaller seat would be better. He is the owner of the shop, and that is pretty good if he is not trying to sell me a new bike. Anyways, I am going to go ride a road bike, I haven't even put my ass on one yet, and see what I think about it before I decide for sure. He told me to come ride one for an hour or so and see what I thought. He said the wide seat is good if you are cruising around a few miles, but not if you are putting on some serious miles, you need a smaller seat!!!! So, that is my problem, why my ass hurts so bad after a long ride I can barely walk. So I am getting a new seat. I am also getting the shoes and clips....getting used to it is going to be the tricky part.
  25. Hey girl!!!! Just continue to take sips as often as possible. It will all start to come along I don't think you can possible drink(sip) that much just sipping, so just do all that you can, and it will get better and soon you will be drinking a lot more. I can prety much gulp that same as before banding now, so now worries, just be sure to be sipping all time. PM me and tell me how your surgery went and how you are!!!
