cashley I have this really neat CD showing the diffrent stitches... just the simple ones I have not see it but it seems pretty good. I have an extra one if you want it.

I dont have a job to play hooky from... but when my hubby plays hooky we either go shopping (window shopping) or rent a movie and relax and grill... nice!

I just started to take up knitting... I dont know how to make much but between that and my ceramics it is keeping me pretty busy. I am trying to teach my self to crochet but it seems so much harder. Also I only know how to do the knit stitch I havent learned to purl yet. Its just so much fun! So do any of you Knit or Crochet?

Awwwwwww just to cute!!!! You want to pinch thier cheeks!!!

Wow, doesnt sound pleasant at all. Last time I had numbing before a fill I got an infection and now I have no port just a big hole!

I am 29, will be 30 in 8 days.. AHHHHH I wanted to be down 100 pounds by my 30th birthday but that doesnt look like it will happen. I am married with no children. I just borrow everyone elses..... I am down 50pounds since my surgery in April 2005. I know I have a leak in my band right now. But I an still fighting to get it replaced and for me to start over!

That is very exciting! Congrats!

I guess I am a failure too, or a mechanical failure. I dont think people use thier words correctly. That person was probably not trying to be mean, but they just didnt say it right what they wanted to know I guess... just my thought.

KIm glad to see you are doing good. (((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))

OMG That was so funny! Thanks for sharing it. I cant wait for my hubby to see tonight he is going to pee his pants LOL

:confused: I am going crazy! I still have a lot of pus coming out my wound, I really thought I was getting better. Maybe I still am getting better but with the wound pussing like it is, I am sure it slows down the healing time. But I really dont know. I go in to the Wound Specialist on Thursday so maybe she will see if there is anything that I should be doing diffrently. All this scares me, because I need to get a job. I am worried about being around 100 or more people in the same building with a wound like mine. But then it so hard with some of the money problems we are having. Then over all once I do heal, I want to have surgery again.. and that time I will need off to recover. Will a new job even let me take time off like that. There is so much to think about I am going crazy! :girl_hug: or just feel like I am, everything is so over whelming. I did take up Knitting Oh what a wonderful thing to do to get my mind off of things. It is so relaxing. All I can do is make scarfs for now but hopefully I will be able to make a lot more then just that. But for now I am really enjoying myself. So between my ceramics and now my knitting, it is helping me keep my mind off of all the bad things in my life. To bad I cant knit my problems away as fast as the yarn goes down. I have not weighed myself, because one day I was so excited I saw 283 and then I was back up to 287.. Hmmmmm I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens when I get my new band. I still have my hopes up about getting my new band. I cant wait!!!!

I know I have not wrote on here for a while. But not much has changed until now. I have been so excited about my wound closing up it seems to get better everyday....until last night. I was watching a movie and I just couldnt keep my eyes open.. I started to get really cold and I went outside (80 degrees) and I started shivering. I knew this meant I had an infection brewing up. I went to take a warm bath (water does not touch my covered wound area) and when I looked at the gauze over my wound I noticed it looked green. So when my husband came home he repacked my wound and the packing that was in there was covered in pus.. (it had normally be really red blood throughout) there was a little pink but it was mostly greenish white pus. I didnt say anything I just laied there with tears in my eyes. Sometimes I just want to bang my head on the wall out of fustration I just want to be normal again. Who knows when I will get my band replaced and who knows if its not even messed up now. I am so scared that I will go get my new band and I will wake up to nothing. I guess I just have to see what happens. I am going to have to look for a job soon. My husband pay check was just about cut in half and we are barely living. He is having to work overtime just so we can pay rent. He wants me to work at T Mobile call center, but I am scared about being around so many people with this open wound. Oh well I guess I dont have a choice. I will be applying there Tuesday. Wish me luck! I am praying for a better day today!!!

I totally disagree with the fact that the stronger believer you are the more riches you will have... I dont believe that God means riches as on things here on earth, not material things anyway. My mom who never drinks never smokes never go out she wont even watch a rated R movie. She is a very very strong Cristian lady. And she lives in a trailer that is falling apart. She make a little over 500.00 a month. She just lost her right leg and cant walk. But she is not depressed she is happy she never runs out of food she always has someone come visit her, and take her out. And she always has money. Now I truely think that she is more blessed because she has Gods love in her heart and she doesnt worry about anything like where her next meal will be, or how she is going to pay mortage. So I do not believe the more you love God and the more Faithful or devoted you are the more pocket money and riches you will have.

Oh I love the Silver Jewelry Club site too... I go there all the time when I am online.. I always to to pop in to see whats up. I have gotten a few really cute things... The make great gifts!

My hubby had me stay home... and we have no kids. but I do all the cleaning and running around. I had went back to school and now I am out of school again... still with no job. They lowered my husband pay at work so we are living off barely nothing. I want to get a job now, but I have been really sick and still awaiting my band replacement surgery. Plus I have been out of work for almost 6 years so I would probably just be able to get a call center job and the most. I wish I could work from home but I dont know what I would do.

Yeah you all are GREAT! Thanks for all you do! keep up the good work ((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

:pound: :pound: :pound: :pound: That was a GREAT one! I hate it when people act like that, it is very childish of them. I have things like that happen to me so many times. One time a guy asked me if I thought I was disabled.... another time someone said look at that B***h she so fat if she doesnt die from that shes smoking haha.... Yeah people can be cruel. but no matter how you ignore them or try to blow it off like nothing, it still hurts.

Congrats!!! That is great news! Keep up the good work

Hamu!!!! Hun take a breather..... Okay now... worse case, if there is a leak it is easily replaceable.. trust me.. I have been there. I had a leak in the port and it was replaced. really easy and simple. to me anyway. Now try not to get to emotional until you find out for sure. I know how hard it can be thinking you have a leak in your port. Take it easy and relax hun it is fixable!

I dont know Dr. Johnell... but heard he is really good. How did your consult go?

Cutting a nerve to control hunger??? I never head of it... seems odd, I dont know. Seems like I am hungry all the time too... but I only eat when I am bored. I am in the process of getting my band replaced so I have no restriction. So I know how it is to be hungry all the time.

Here is mine: An amputee overhears you as you snicker and make jokes about him. Enraged, he beats you to death with his prosthetic leg. whats funny is my mom has an amputed leg.... I better not make jokes about it huh. lol
