  1. ***crickets*** HELLO, hello...hello...hellooooo. ECHO, echo...echo...echooooo.
  2. Found it! :thumbup:
  3. Lisa, Getting a fill helped me. I've been banded 2 years, only lost 60 so far. So...I dunno. I was hoping for faster, but it just ain't happening. Anyone familiar w/PCOS? I was looking up that brown skin thing again and a lot of the symptons sound like what DD has. (Other than menstrual cycle irregulations...) PJTP - DH and I went to a chinese buffett and I had soup and snuck out chicken bits for later...is that wrong? I figure, when I'd go there pre-banding, I'd eat them out of house and home, so sneaking out 2 chicken strips to eat later in the day is actually saving them money, right?
  4. Oh, PJTP - NSV for me and my DD that I wanna share: Me: DH said today, THAT SHIRT'S TOO BIG FOR YOU! (yay...it was one that I didn't wear 2 years ago because my fat tummy hung out of it.) For DD - her scale isn't moving, BUT, she has ...lemme look it up again...acanthosis nigricans. (I never remember that name.) When her blood sugar is elevated, (but not high enough for diabetes - yet) it causes a dark thick ring of skin around her neck. So, we've been dieting and exercising and that dark ring is fading! I pointed that out to her yesterday and she was sooo happy over it! So, little NSV's getcha through, you know?
  5. LOL...No drama on PJTP! But funny sh!t :thumbup: (okay, okay, I post my work drama, here...but that's it!)
  6. Never heard of most of those. Knowing I saw recently and loved it. It was hokey in some spots, but I really liked it. Even the screaming mom and overacting didn't put me off because I think I'd be screaming like that, too. :thumbup:
  7. I think our sun's already up here...the sky is just a dull grayish color, but it's light. I, too, have no idea what insomnia is like. I've had nights where I'm restless and don't sleep well, due to sick or a new dog that doesn't know she CAN'T sleep there, but never because I wasn't tired. I wake up tired. :thumbup:
  8. Donna doesn't FB either anymore...she's just dropped away. I haven't seen her for a while. I say everyone bombard her PM box until she's forced to come back! Later in the day I will give her a call and tell her to get her a$$ back to PJTP. Couldn't get my butt out of bed early this morning...wonder why, SNT?....but, DH said, "at least get up and take care of your farm on FB!" So, popped out for that! lol Gotta get ready for work now!
  9. LMAO! I hug friends, ya'll! Just not people at work! ick. Well, except DH! I get naughty and make come-ons to him in the kitchen while we're getting coffee....He gets all red and embarrassed and tries to ignore me.
  10. Like a gel insert? I know that I have a pair that I run with, but if I get on the elliptical with those on, my feet go numb.
  11. Ha! No, no...enter them into an Access file, THEN file them! Of course, this after matching them to invoices that are filed in her drawer. Lovely. But, she had to match them up with what she's done first and she never brough them to me. So...tomorrow maybe? I'm just wondering what she did all day? Sooo FB peeps know this: Went to gym tonight and there are 2 rows of treadmills. The gym was very empty tonight, and the whole first row was empty - 12 treadmills were empty. I took the 3rd one in. Some lady gets on the one right next to me. I am like cattle!!! I want SPACE! No touching, no getting sweaty all next to me! Are they selling property on Mars yet...? I'm IN.
  12. I agree! Saw it this past weekend. I thought this one was really slow and "artsy" in some places. I really don't think it did the books justice at all! But, then I think the books are great.
  13. B - Aren't you married? Why on earth are you doing this anyway?? If you have a boytoy on the side, then still - why bother? Let him worry about how many cals YOU are. HM...Good title for the next self-help book. Right up there with She Comes First.
  14. LOL Ever watch Bones? There was a season where they touched on that.
  15. I have been wogging off and on using the c25k model and I'm wondering if I have the right shoes? I have a high arch and under-pronate. According to the websites I've been looking at, under-pronating shoe support is for lower (regular) arches, and don't offer that much weight support. Will a motion prevention shoe that offers weight support do something funky to the arches?
  16. D'oh! Blocked at work. What is it? (Illuminati was never one of my favs, though, I enjoyed playing it.)
  17. You know, I can understand the validity of her question: Will my meds interfere with my contraception? But....I don't get asking it here. She should be asking the doctor that - and not 4 1/2 weeks later! Maybe if she'd said, "Anyone ever have this happen?" and then still consulted her doctor about her own personal choices, then that would be different. Seeking that kind of advice here is poor planning, poorly - if at all- thought out, and just dumb.
  18. ha! You get bonus points, though, for using the word of the day. So, you can use that in your defense.
  19. Hmm...I like that thought though. She's touchy, so I could just slip it over her when she comes close! I want to work for myself, but I'd fire me for slacking off on LBT and FB all day.
  20. Actually, she just left for lunch and I'm thinking of grabbing it. I am caught up on my stuff...shocker...and have nothing to do. And, PJTP is slooow! M'fer is a friend on FB, so I can't play too much there! She's a really awesome person, just can't work for sh!t.
  21. If I did this right...here's stack one. I took this while she's on the phone giggling at something. I am not getting them - she will have to bring them to me. While she was on maternity leave, I had her desk spotless and kept up w/all of it. She was back in April and this is the pile that accumulated.
  22. Ha! Touchy chick is scared of the late comer. Late comer is a more "Mother f'er get the f out of my face and give me your f'ing pencil" kinda gal. Touchy is more, "Um, excuse me...Um, can I borrow this pencil, please, um? maybe? It's okay if the answer's no." The M'fer is really a cool chick to talk to about stuff - outside of work, and Touchy is a great worker, just an annoying one. But, I hate the unfairness of it, more than I hate the annoyance of her. Like, right now, I'm about to tackle the stack of papers she has had since, I dunno - April!!! They are in two stacks, from the floor to her desk. I've been asked to help since she's so far behind. I really, really don't mind working - but I hate doing other people's jobs when they don't make an effort to do it themselves.
  23. Funny you say that about lawsuit...she contacted her family lawyer (who has one of those just on the side, anyway?) and she said it was because of ME. That she was CYA'ing for anything against her from me. I said, Oh no...I am not a lawsuit kinda gal. I feel like I was straightforward and she didn't listen, and then my next course was to take it to him. But, I do feel bad. Next time I will handle it myself. I need to learn not to let that kind of thing effect me. I'd feel bad if she got the boot and the other chick still sat there giggling on the phone and getting away with murder. Head's need to keep low these days!
  24. Okay ya'll...I feel like shit. A few weeks ago, a coworker grabbed me from behind and grabbed my fat, which was the THIRD TIME I've told her not to touch me. I don't like being touched. So, I snapped and went to her boss about it. I laid out all the stuff that I am tired of, and instead of talking with her he pulled in HR. HR told her that she needed to get therapy (she also talks about how her father died when she was little and she'll cry about it - a lot.) The boss told her, "the only reason you have a job right now is because you work hard." So, I feel sooo horrible. I really thought he'd just be a second voice, telling her not to touch me. But, he pulled in HR. Trouble is, she means well and is very sweet - and she is a hard worker. Compare that to the other lady, who just strolled in at 9:40 today, a few mins ago, and put her purse down and walked over to a friend's cubby - still isn't back yet. I just feel bad. If anyone should "get in trouble" it should be the other chick. But, I've posted before - the boss gets a hard on for that one, so HR will never be brought in for her. I feel like going to the HR lady and telling her all this, but the touchy chick asked me not to. I told her I'll never go to her boss again, and if I have a problem I'll just tell her to back off - and she agreed to actually back off. She apologized to me for touching me, and said I did the right thing. And, yeah, on paper I did - I escalated the issue because talking to her wasn't working. However, in my head, I knew that he's lacking balls.
  25. I'm not going. My friend from VA is, though. (Actually, he's my ex-bf.) He'll be staying with us then going up to Dallas. Actually, since being in Houston I haven't found too many geeks like me. They mostly just drink and eat here. I miss NOVAG and WGA.
