Hey Sister, If MY band was removed... 6 months later I would be checking into something too. If we couldve done this weightloss stuff to begin with, NONE of us wouldve needed this band. But like Shanna, If my band must leave me, I would probably consider option 2. ((hugs))

You know, Meg. It kinda scares me to see your personal info posted - address and such. You sure you dont want someone to crop it for ya?

Kristin, I just read the VFTW message board abut HOW they picked Kellie. Whats funny is that they debated picking Bucky instead of Kellie - but Bucky was too genuine. Go figure... they picked Kellie cause of a 4-letter F word - FAKE.

((hugs)) From my heart... I will truly miss you. LBT will never forget you.

OMG! HOW CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mia (the darker one?) looks like she's posing. too funny.

Megan - you are so pretty girl! My DL is up for renewal in Sept. Its gonna be a MAJOR change - seeing that I was 9 months preg. with my second child when I had the last DL picture taken.

This thread got me thinking of how old I was when I started babysitting. 11 maybe. I hate turing this thread into horrible babysitting stories, but I MUST tell this one: I was about 11 and my sister's friend needed a sitter for her kids while they attended her fathers funeral. So I went. I think it was abut the 3rd time I sat for her. She had a daughter about 2 1/2 yrs old - and her hair was real scragly and long. Unhealthy looking. So while they were at the funeral, I CUT her daughters hair. Well, it was a trim actually. I snipped about an inch off. I remeber her calling my mom the next day - crying. My mom apoligizing over and over. I never babysat for her again. AND never cut anyone elses hair again. ok, sorry y'all. back to topic!

Paul, thank God you and I dont live closer. We would eat ourselves to death. Literally.

Here is my absolute most favorite thing to look at in my yard. I love its color. Just wish it wouldnt have that big opening in the middle.

Hey guys, lets see some of your beautiful flowers, plants and gardens. I have a question... here is a picture of a maiden hair fern (sp?) that was Mom's. I wanna transplant it to the pot on the left - but hopefully you can see WHY Im having a hard time figuring out HOW to keep the root system in tact for the re-potting. Its kinda all over the pot - and little green happening. Any suggestions?

Hey Paul - which ones have YOU tried? (just curious)

NO! I dont recommend GNC. Several reasons why. Do you have anything locally owned? Or try asking your pharmacist, maybe they have an idea.

Rene, youre baaaaad. But Ill take ANY wet thoughts you give :biggrin1: Our area is in a major (the weather station used the word SEVERE) drought. Yikes. We watered the back yard yesterday and after we turned the sprinker off, there must have been a trillion birds taking a quick bath. ALL I kept thinking about was that old Hitchcock movie.... Anne, your family picture is priceless. What beautiful kids you have!!! And their red hair... oh my goodness. I love them! What cuties! Betty, since you and I usually take about pools, get this. Dad opened the family pool Monday. The Water temp was 79 degrees at opening. Tuesday - it had already increased to 83. Looks like its gonna be a looong hot summer. Kelly, WHERE ARE YOU???? Where is your avator? Where is your signature lines? dont do this to us again!!!!!! Get your butt back here! :whip:

Elena, My good friend says that green tea hypes her up - so be careful. Do you have a vitamin/herb supply store close by? Maybe they could recommend something. Was it Chrom. Piconate (sp?) that was used to burn fat? Whatever you find, please share the info. :biggrin1:

DAA, My mom is on WW - and she eats boca burgers ALL the time. Loves them. Ive never tried them though. I will now. Where do you purchase yours? She gets hers at Sams Club. ...Riblets? please, tell me more. :eyebrows:

Kathy, I was glad to see him go. He and Kelly shouldve hooked up, you know? They both thought alot of themselves. Cheri, Taylor and Elliot left standing... I like that. Elliot is well rounded - he can sing just about everything. I can see him as the next American Idol. Yea, he lacks in the "feeling the song" field, but geez, it usually takes most of these successful artist YEARS to accomplish that.

i know, you hate quoting Strawart, but... the reason the "Scar Stages" thread was deleted was b/c of this exact reason. The starter had someone reappear in her life - and found her through LBT. SO she deleted all her replies and threads. again, Id like things to remain the same. have I said this already? Alexandra, if the other side should win, what about allowing the "deleting thread" feature only in the Lounge?

Hi Kare. We missed you. Glad you are back in action! Vines, where's your Garden thread? I think we need to start a garden picture thread too - AND one for question/answers to gadening. I have a maiden hair fern that needs transplanting, but I need to post a picture to give everyone an idea of why Im so concerned. btw: Where's Dody?

Susan, I agree. This IS a special place. Especially those of us that post often and have really shared so many secrets. We've all grown so close. LBT is simply amazing. And I love all of you too.

So $3.00 bucks a gallon for gas to and from Colorado, plus hotel fees... hmmm. Im weighing the option of the cost of an airline ticket verses gas expenses. Hey Penni, have I told you lately that I love you? You are so fantastic for even offering this to Trish. (((((MEGA HUGS))))) LBT never ceases to amaze me.

Trish, how far is Penni's house? honestly. How long would it take you to get there?

See, Id be cautious of your doctors response. Youve already been through SO much with HIM. Thats why I was wishing you could get a second opinion - or find another surgeon. ((hugs)) to you. You know I love you Trish. I cant imagine being in this situation. The trip, the money, your HEALTH! What does your husband think?

The off-topic threads that are deleted are no biggie to me. The thread starter that was putting the info out there knows where the thread needs to go. But the ones that are deleted that offer any kind of health related information, well, thats a little different. regarding deleting and editing: I like things the way they are.

I wonder WHY theyve chosen her as their pick? Her voice isnt THAT bad. This may be a dumb question - but i would think Ace would be more of their style. I think its gonna be Ace tonight.

oh geez.... not again! :tired When I catch up with that girl, Im gonna give her a... :confused: for doing this! She even deleted her picture. Kelly, Kelly, Kelly... girl what are we gonna do with you? Just for the record, Ive started threads just to get opinions on certain topics - then, after Ive recieved several responses from good friends, deleted it. Especially if it pertains to my family.
