Paul. I make it with the soy flour like your first post....But I use the garlic Flavored PAN. If you like a little garlic flavor in your food try it.

Wise decisions by wise people are always good to see. I get in the same boat sometime. I'll watch Discovery on TV and sit there and convince myself I have ever sympton they discribe and When the show is over I know I'm going to die soon. :faint: Once gave the Emergency Room staff a good laugh when I showed up believing I was the victim of a medical condition that only women can have...:couch2: Paranoia can run deep....But it is cureable. Good luck and get back soon

Greg too Loves BIG PAUL A truer Post could not have been written. My hat is off to you

Hi Kathy:wave: Been pretty busy with the new grandchild. Work midnights then babysit and bed. Not much other time.

Nothing really any bigger in that area. Just with the rest getting smaller it looks bigger.

They still serve...And we're still free

Personally and I know all of you do too hope this isn't a scam. (sounds wrong to say this because I don't mean I'd feel better knowing someone died but I think your all intelligent enough to understand what i am saying). We have enough to deal with in life without crap like this if thats what it is. For me the jury is still out but if it is a scam I hope God trims His garden of a few ugly flowers too and soon.

I second the Presidnet of the Slow Loser Club on this. Kathy hit it right on the head. The main reason I choose the band was because it my body using my system to do all the normal functions. Its a tool to assist me in eating less and right. And so far it's working as long as I am working with it. I'm in control here. (SHHHHH don't let the wife hear me say that)

My Prayers and thoughts are with her family and friends. People are God's flowers in His garden. Some flowers are just to nice and pretty and have to be picked sooner then others. Take joy in the fact she was a pretty one.

Personally, I'd give my mother-in-laws a plane ticket to Mexico for Christmas and just smile when she opens it. I bought my mother in law a gift three years ago and have not gotten her one since. She never used the cemetary plot I bought her.

Yes Vines, I'm having more fun then you can imagine. I am now going right from my midnite job to babysitting. She is so cute.

Njchick, Thank you for your updated information. As you can see by my signature below I'm not always up to speed. I had just received this e-mail my self and after a quick review of the web site and a call to my Dr that there was the concern I posted it. I have gone back and re-read the entire site and see that you are correct. I apologize for the quick posting. I truely believe we should be as up to date as we can be and I failed here. Thanks again for pointing it out so people have the correct information. If this posting is reviewed by a moderator and they feel it should be removed because it is out of date I have no problem with that. Just hope all who viewed get a chance to see that its improper info at this time

I have checked the web site and spoke to my family Dr and confirmed this to be a valid warning so I am passing it on to you. Not stated in this pre-prepared post but you will see it in the web posting is the fact this drug is in decongestants and also in many weight control drugs. This is the warning I received: All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled. You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on most drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND. Please read this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on to everyone you know. STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It has been linked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in brain) among women ages 18-49 in the three days after starting use of medication. Problems were not found in men, but the FDA recommended that everyone (even children) seek alternative medicine. The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine: Acutrim Diet Gum Appetite Suppressant Acutrim Plus Dietary supplements Acutrim Maximum Strength Appetite Control Alka-Seltzer Plus Children's Cold Medicine Effervescent Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold medicine !

I just found out and called the 800# on the container for Triaminic and they informed me that they are voluntarily recalling the following medicines because of a certain ingredient that is causing strokes and seizures in children: Orange 3D Cold & Allergy Cherry (Pink) 3D Cold & Cough berry 3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 with the lot number on the box so they can send you postage for you to send it back to them, and they will also issue you a refund. If you know of anyone else with small children, PLEASE PASS THIS ON. THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF! DO PASS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people are informed. They can then pass it along to their families. To confirm these findings please tak! e time to check the following: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/ppa/ PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR CHILDREN IN CASE THEY GIVE IT TO THEIR CHILDREN OR TO FRIENDS WHO HAVE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.

Daniela, My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. My Dad died 18 yrs ago at a time in my life when we were really getting to know each other since he was an alcoholic. He stopped drinking and we were enjoying the time making up for what we missed. Then he left. The hurt was tremendous but after time I realized that the passing of our parents, no matter how hard it is, is the proper progression in life. I also learn quickly that he never really left because I didn't want him to. He's here every day and as long as I think of him every day he will show up. I'll never let him go. Hopefully you'll be able to do the same with your mom. Remember we are spiritual beings having a human experience. So the spirits in us still can communicate that never dies.

Yep Maddi without the "e" her mom insist. lol Parents geez

Thank you Nancy. And thank you all for your kind words. Madilyn Grace was born at 1:58pm 7/27/05 weight 7.6 and 20.5" long. She has her ten fingers and ten toes and is gorgious beyond belief. (I'm bias so shoot me...lol) Well she is just a little over 24 hrs old. Still not walking yet but the Dr said she will when she is ready. Since I will be taking care of her while mom and dad work I'm requesting they try and get her potty trained by Sept. when mom goes back to work. I'm hoping the pictures post ok

Congradulation Nicole. It is a wonderfull thing Children. Then they get one month old then the next...lol As I type I am awaiting news from the hospital on the birth of my first grandaughter.

Exactly One year ago tomorrow I got the call from my Dr Office that my insurance co approved the surgery and the Dr had a Patient cancell her surgery on Aug 10. So they asked me if I could start my liquid diet phase and I could have that date. I did and its the best thing I have ever done. I have it on good information that people who have the surgery in August recover the fastest after the quickest surgeries. So good luck to all you having your proceedures this month.

All the men I have slept with Not one has even asked. Of course you know I'm joking. When your relationship gets to the point you can trust the man with your intimate feelings telling him the truth should be no problem. As a male I would be a little upset if I found out that you had lied about it. Its an issue to help with weather he is in the relationship for you or what he can get out of it. I tell people you don't have to like the House but the furniture inside is comfortable and thats where you'll be spending most of your time with me. The interior person. But then again I tell everyone about the surgery when it comes up. I'm not afraid to admit I did something for me. to improve me and to help me live longer and happier. All the worring about who knows and who doesn't just adds stress that I don't need or want. But its your body. These are only my thoughts and good luck with your relationship.

Lovers of the English language might enjoy this..... There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP." It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call[font=Comic Sans MS] UP[/font] our friends And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP[font=Comic Sans MS] is confusing:[/font] A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.</SPAN> We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. I t will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so............. Time to shut UP.....! Oh...one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? -------[font=Comic Sans MS] [/font]U P

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said, "I'm sorry but you scared the daylights out of me." The frightened passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn't realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much. The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab.... I've been driving a hearse for the last 25 years."

I just turn M & M's upside down and call them W & W's...Weight Watchers Candy

Miko, A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...did we mess up." I always felt this way... Some people build big homes that look like hell...But when I go to the house its to visit the persons inside. I can get past the house not being as attractive as I'd like. So if someone suddenly doesn't like my newly formed body then they need to get past it. The person inside is still the same. My wife has a good saying. Once a friend of ours stopped by and made a comment about the mess the kids toys made.(4 young kids at the time) My Wife looked at her and said. "If you want to see the house you should call ahead next time. Want to see me stop by anytime."

So far I have had no trouble eating nuts. Peanuts go down well. I do chew them so its like swallowing peanut butter.
