  1. So we were on our way back from Illinois yesterday. Everyone was hungry & decided to stop at a Mexican restaraunt. I had a tiny bite of a enchilada & a couple bites of queso & I knew it was on!! It started with the slimes. I battled it for 30 minutes. We stopped at a gas station for hot coffee. Usually the hot stuff will counter-act a PB for me. While waiting for my husband to get the coffee for me, I decided to head to the restroom (just in case). I stepped out of the car, hiccuped, coughed & then I had projectile slimes that stuck to my hand & then plopped on the ground. OMG! It was so embarassing! I honestly don't think anyone saw it though. My Mom & my Grandma jumped out of the car & produced a wash cloth & a bottle of water. LOL! They did see it. The looks on their faces were priceless! My husband came out of the store, looked down & said, "Some drunk is gonna bust his ass on that." Leave it to Lonnie to find the humor!
  2. Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a good one!
  3. So sorry to hear about your kitty. I'll keep you all in my thoughts & prayers.
  4. Thanks so much everyone! She was such a special person. She was a truely enlightened person. She was a nurse & she saw her job as her ministry. She helped so many & touched so many people's lives. I can't believe she's gone.
  5. Welcome to Band Land! Hope you have a fast recovery!! Congrats!

  8. I took it a couple of years ago & I lost 70 lbs. I was like the energizer bunny on meth! My house was never so clean. I loved it though. If you do take it, make sure you get a script for a sleeping pill too. Otherwise, you'll be up all night.
  9. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great one!!
  10. Congrats!! Glad everything was a-okay!! I didn't know it would glow! Cool! But I do know that it will set up like concrete in the bowels if you don't drink plenty of fluids til all the alien poo is gone! So drink up!
  11. WOW!! I go out of town & look what I almost missed! Congrats Jess!! I can't wait to see the new you!! Hope you have a speedy recovery!!
  12. I just got back from Illinois yesterday. We buried my Aunt who was 47. She lost her 12 year battle with breast cancer. She left behind a 12 year-old son, 2 grown daughters & my Uncle. This had to have been the hardest thing I have ever done. Please keep her family in your thoughts & prayers. Thank you.
  13. I want to give a big Thank You to my secret bunny, Jorjet!! Thank you so much! She gave me a adorable stuffed bunny, a earring & bracelet set that is silver & has purple & mother of pearl stones in it (it will go great with my easter outfit) & a huge set of different colored fingernail polishes (I love nail polish). Thank you so much!! When I get everything back to normal around here from my traveling around the US (LOL), I'll charge my camera & post some pics! Happy Easter/Spring everyone!

  21. Bought my goodies today while waiting for my prescription to be filled! I'll mail it tomorrow. I hope someone in Texas will be watching the mailbox! & That's all I'm gonna say about that.
  22. I just saw that a massive storm hit Australia. I'm hoping all of our Aussies are okay! Please check in! I haven't been able to surf LBT for a while cause of my back. Sorry if someone has already posted something similiar to this. :cry I hate to ask, but if anyone has some prayers to spare, could you send some my way? This pain is getting unbearable! Thanks!
  23. Little ones are so strong & brave! Sorry to hear Emily is so sick. I will keep all of you in my prayers!
