She was found as a stray. No one claimed her.

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=6973 This is a whole post that is dedicated to this topic if you are interested.

My newest, latest, greatest FUR BABY! Her name is "Steelah". (after the Steelers of course). Her and Bettis became BEST friends and she is fitting in nicely. We adopted her from the Humane Socioty 3 weeks ago. She is 8 months old. Can you believe she had already been there almost 2 weeks and no one adopted her???? She is a GREAT dog/friend too! She was scheduled to be put down in just 2 days! I am soooooooooooo glad I went there that day to "look" (read as: find a new friend).

We went to a Halloween party at the casino. We won 2nd place for originality! And I must ask.... Deal? or no deal? My exotic name for the evening was "Lola". P.S. My hubby is "Howie", the other guy is the "Banker"

Jeangab, I got my gift yesterday! And today I wore the socks!!! I had my Halloween vest on so it went perfectly!! I also got a pumpkin spice candle, some trinkets, towels for my kitchen and a nice T or T placque! Thank you so much. I will take a picture of it this weekend and post!!!

Any other bandster interested in a roomie? I had a female bandster inquire. Any other female bandsters wanting to go but afraid to speak up because of a roomie situation? Matter of fact, doesn't even need to be a bandster, just someone who wants to go and have fun (female roomie) PM me.

WOOOOOT WOOOOT!!! Even more people are signing up! I love it, I love it, I love it!! Come one, come all, come party down with us bandster style!!

Just want to send out a friendly reminder for all those who have not done it yet. Please get your passports ready. Most post offices have the ammenities to get them for you. Just be sure and check the days and times they do them. Also, if you are getting your own air, now would be the time to start looking for the sales. Try and make sure you have your air booked before March. When you do, please email gadgetlady with the incoming and returning flight info so she can add it to your cruise portfolio. She will be posting a full list soon. As for me, I hope my dented butt goes back to normal before next summer!!

Laura, I am so glad you liked it! I wanted to do something "treat healthy" and not try to tempt you. ahemmmmm, make sure you wash off the chocolate before eating the sunflower seeds hee hee hee.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, mine should have arrived today at least. I was really hoping to hear from them. Maybe I need to call the company and track it? Nevermind, I just checked UPS tracking. It is scheduled to be delivered on WEDNESDAY!!! If your in Cali then watch your postmans!!! He's (or she) is a comin'!!!

Mine was sent out on Thursday. Going to sunny Cali!

Christmas? What happened to Turkey Day??? Yes, a third time would definitely be an omen I think. But... I got a sub for the last one and they rocked!!

Okay, Okay, stop beggin'. I'm in too!

Who knew that my butt was so interesting? LMAO (pun intended) So now I am "yellowing". ((sigh)) its been 2 weeks since I have sat on both cheeks. Still "dented" a bit. Nope, no shingles. DH doesn't want shingles. He is going to get it "sand painted". ((sigh))

:flypig: Are you kidding me? The Steelers are on Monday Night Football. It would take a large forklift to move him tonight. My best hope is for tomorrow (BEFORE Sunday rolls around again).

Ummmm, and I do have a confession to make about the exercise. I started doing "pole dancing" exercise and I LOVE IT. It made me VERY sore for about a month but after that, it was soooooo much fun!!

OMG, Crystal!! ROOFING SHINGLES!!! We have been racking our brains trying to figure out a cheaper way than paying for the strips or the special "sand paint". What a FANTASTIC idea! Thanks! ((blush)) awww you guys... next time I will wear a thong for ya! Uhhh, no! Drove me nuts just moving the panties to the side for the picture!

Yep, I was told to suck down pure orange juice and cranberry juice like it is going out of style!!

Took about 2 weeks for my shoulder pain to go. Felt like a bubble in there! Nothing really much you can do but a heating pad and endure it.

Flinstones Vitamins for me and chewable Vit C from GNC. I also use Nutrient Protein on my hair every day after a shower. And I haven't had any hair loss at all. I have REALLY fine thin hair anyway so I can't afford to lose any of it. As for regular NSAIDs and IBU's.... I do them when I absolutely have to, otherwise it is Tylenol. I will crush them and put them in yogurt or applesauce.

I use my post op picture on the fridge.

I might do that. Where do I get it? Walmart or Walgreens have it? It is actually "dented" and swollen still. It feels "hard" across the bruise area. I always wanted a hard a$$ but not THIS way. :puke:

Awww, thanks. I credit the butt crunches for the shape though. That makes me feel good especially since I gained back 5 lbs. Band is a little loopy lately. Tight one minute, open the next. I think you are right though, I was thinking I had more padding and I would have bounced back up just pissed off rather than writhing in pain at the bottom of the deck steps. Oh, by the way, have I told you that our deck is about 15 feet off of the ground? And THIS bruising was after a week and 1/2!! But wanna know the funny thing? The way I have to sit now (on one cheek) makes me remember the days of not fitting into chairs with arms well (during my heaviest) and having to sit sort of sideways.

Well, I finally have the nerve to show everyone. I took a major fall and slid down my deck steps when they were wet LAST week. I am okay but moving VERY slowly. I also scraped up my back and knocked the wind right out of my sails. Still can't sit on one side yet (the cheek so I sit a bit with a slant). Here is a picture of my butt for your viewing pleasure.... (keep in mind that these bruises are over a week old so just imagine....)

Huh? So Susan, where did you get it from?
