Why is it that husbands ca'nt seem smell their own farts?
Gosh, Green I don't think I could. I have serious issues with this. I have gotten really bad stomache aches from holding mine. I always discreetly leave the room or go into the bathroom. I do however love to tease the kids about it, just cause they make such a big "Stink" about it. I'll walk by them and then start feathering my backside and say, "excuse me".. You've never seen kids jump up so fast and start saying how gross it is and how bad it stinks. Yep, they swear it stinks like a dead skunk even though I don't even fart for real. It is really funny.

Loose skin and sores
Ditto, from me. This is very important. If you are insured this is what you will need documented by your personal doctor or ps. Even if you are not contemplating ps now, it might come in handy later if you change your mind. I had a friend that worked in a ps office and when this occurs, insurance almost always has to pay for the tt. Because the tt becomes medically necessary and not just cosmetic.:biggrin:

Anyone Else fear That Hillary Has No Chance?
I haven't read any of the posts on this thread. But I think people are more fearful that she has a darn good chance of being our next President. I think she will get the Democratic nomination and Obama will be her running mate. I personally think she would make a good president. Hell, if she wins we get Bill too. I like him and think he did a good job as president, as a man, he screwed up. But given the chance how many women do you think would turn a good looking, powerful, rich man down. I don't blame Monica one bit. I'm just sorry that they got caught. JMHO.

Murphy can take his damn law and shove it
Sorry for all you are dealing with. Hugs. My life is always like that, complete and utter caos. Never changes, sometimes I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Then wham, something else freaking happens. I just sit down, take deep breaths and say, "this too shall pass." Then sarcastically sing to myself The sun will come out tomorrow, so you better hang on till tomorrow.. ha..ha... But yes, life is a bitch and then you die.

Why is it that husbands ca'nt seem smell their own farts?
You guys are so funny. My boss who is female has issues with this. I'll never forget when I first started working here and she did it, she just said, "oh, excuse me." I was confused as to how casual she was about it. At first I though maybe she burped, she surely wouldn't have just let it go. Well, she did and she does it all the time. And it isn't just one, but a whole series of them. What dumbfounds me is how casual she is about it. It drives me nuts. It is disgusting. So when I get mad at hubby for farting he says, well your boss does it all the time, why can't I?

Ladies? (waxing question)
I don't remember who the lady was, but if I recall correctly I think she was a porn star. She was addicted to ps, she had tons and tons done. And this was just one more of the things she like to get done.

Funny people you see in Wal-mart.
Well, I'll have to tell you my Wal-Mart story. First of all, I hate Wal-Mart, despise it. The kids all needed new bikes and there was a bike sale so we decided to go there. When we first walked in the store I was distracted by some huge beautiful strawberries. So I headed there to get some. While there this Hispanic man (my husband and I are both Mex-Americans) was checking me out. I didn't notice it but my husband did. So apparently this man whispered something about me to another man and he started checking me out. (Who knows maybe they were just making fun of me) Anyways, my husband approached this man and confronted him and told him to stop looking at me. This man didn't back off and said I was hot so he would keep looking at me all he fucking pleased. OMG, they almost started fist fighting, right there in the produce isle, right in front of my kids and everyone else. How embarassing. I had to get in front of my husband and make him back off. My poor kids were so scared. Can you imagine the headlines?? Two Hispanic men were arrested today for fighting in the produce dept. at Wal-Mart. Clean up, isle 1.. It is real funny now, but it was scary then. My husband is very confrontational, he feels that he has to protect me from other men's oggling eyes. Well, that is my Wal-Mart story.. What can I say when your hot, your hot... So that was the last time I went to Wal-Mart over 2 years ago.

Are you at Goal? Maintenance advice sought.
Congratulations on hitting goal. I have been at goal now for over 2 years and have done really well maintaining. I started at 190-195 (size 16) and now I fluctuate between 137-140 lbs (Size 6 or 8, depending on brand). I did not get unfilled after I hit goal, and have maintained failry well. I don't deprive myself of anything and try to stay active. Although, this past year I was dealing with lots of stress and I had gained about 7 lbs. I did a fill in Nov, but don't feel I got any additional restriction from that fill. I did however cut out all the icecream I was eating. And I've managed to lose the excess weight. That is all I can share about my being at goal. Again, good job on hitting goal.

Ladies? (waxing question)
I'm laughing my butt off, how funny. But I can honesly tell you this is something my husband would never agree to have done.. He is way to sensitive. You know what this all reminded me of, on Dr. 90210 this lady was having her butt hole lightened. They were applying lightning stuff so the darkness around her butt hole would go away. She was on all fours and they first had to wax her and let me tell you, when they tore that tape off it looked painful. Have you every heard of that?? Which brings me to another question. Do any of you ladies have darker shaded inner thighs. Mine are slightly darker due to all the rubbing from when I was heavier. Just wondering if I'm the only one with this problem. Maybe I should go get that and my butt hole lightened?? How embarassing..

Why is it that husbands ca'nt seem smell their own farts?
Well although most men take great pride in farting to irritate us. I have to tell you that there have been studies where it has been proven that women's farts stink more than mens. I have to agree with that study. Only difference, most women, excluding Brandy, of course, are discreet about farting infront of other people including their husbands. he...he...

Salsa dancing??? LOL
Don't give up, keep at it. Dancing is one of the best forms of excercise you can do. It engages your whole body and is fun at the same time. Don't you watch Dancing with the Stars?? In my younger days I used to manage my weight by just partying and dancing the night away. Hubby used to be alot thinner too cause he'd go out dancing every week. I think you need to keep going to your classes, don't quit, I wish I had that available here. I love dancing, it is in my blood.

Can we talk about clothing???
I too love spanx, I have a small fortune invested in all types and colors. But I only wear them with skirts or dress pants to smooth things out. I can't get used to wearing them with my jeans. My low rise jeans hold me in and there is no need for the spanx. I don't get the muffin top look cause I had the tt and all the fat sucked out of the waist, lower back, upper back, well everywhere. I like my flat tummy and no back fat look.. Yippi, for lipo and tummy tucks!!!!

I hope she remains drug free. As a parent I think our job is to love and accept our children no matter what sexual orientation they chose. I have three children and I brought them into this world. I will always protect them and love them unconditionally. That being said all we can do is love them and raise them to do the proper things. Sometimes even the best of parents end up with kids that chose the wrong paths, but never no matter what path my children take will never stop loving them.

I love this site, I can always count on ya'll for everything. Don't let this thread fall to the bottom. I'm heading home now, but am already looking forward to logging on tomorrow and hearing everyone's ideas for this. Since I am so darn wine incompetant.

Ladies? (waxing question)
I don't have nudity issues with husband, but being spread out to let him shave me is a definite no answer. A Hell no answer. I keep myself very groomed, razor is fine by me, no breaking out (only occassionally). I only keep a little at the top and that is how he and I both like it.

Girl Scout Cookies
Oh yes, I love Samoas. Before I was banded I remember heading to the grocery store, I had decided I was going on a diet. I was going to buy slim fast, special k, heatlh bars, that sort of thing. But was met at the door by the girlscouts.. No need to wait, they had the Cookies on site. Well, I took my money and bought 5 boxes of Samoas. I headed back home and sat in the car, I ate a whole box. After I had my binge I was so embarassed and ashamed. My husband had praised me for heading to the store to get my slimfast and what did I came home with cookies. At that moment is when I decided to take control of my life. I got the band later that year and took control of my body. I still love Samoas, but have managed to modify how many I eat. I only treat myself to 1 box a season and have one cookie after supper until it runs out. No depravation here, only moderation.

Austrailian Themed Wine Tasting
Hello my friends. I am in desperate need of help. The organization that I work for has decided to have an Austrailian themed wine tasting fundraiser. Which is a problem for me, because Number 1, I don't know anything about wine, anytime I have wine someone usually selects it for me. Number 2, I don't know anything about Austrailia. So can you please enlighten me. What would be an over the top catchy name for this event, keeping the theme in mind? Some of the board members are selecting the wines and cheeses, but if you have some favorite wines (moderatly priced, of course), please advise. Is there a dessert that is commonly used over there? Tell me everything. What about decor? One person on the event committee wants the servers to dress up with the cargo shorts, vest, hat that sort of thing. Please give me all your great ideas. Thank you.

Was it the lady that had been an Olympic Athlete?? I caught part of it. Can you believe that her parents believed if she only came back to God, she wouldn't be a lesbian anymore. How sad. Can you tell me how it ended.
