  1. Here comes my opinion if it counts at all. IMHO - If you don't like a certain thing, stay away. I'll put it this way. In every grocery store I can think of, the alcohol section is right by the produce. I don't know why it's this way, maybe carrots go good with Pale Ale. Does anyone ever complain about the setup? Do you get offended when you pass through to get to the next isle? Sure you may pass through the different forums on this site, but it is clearly marked the "alcohol" section. (just for clarification in this case alcohol=RnR):biggrin1: While it is there and you clearly don't drink, do you pick up a bottle and throw it on the ground to protest it's existance? I don't. There are certain area's of this site I don't frequent, and there have been a few times I have felt offended about something, but I guess i am one of the few that ACTUALLY feels "to each his/her own" If you don't like it, stay out. If you are going to complain, stop reading. Don't go to the adult store if your not into body butter, fuzzy handcuffs, 'n porno. And if you do make it into the store, why are you complaining about whats in there? I'm finished now...:censored:
  2. I received this from someone earlier today and thought I would pass it on. pumpkin Pie - animated Flash ecard by Jacquie Lawson Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
  3. Anyone else amazed how conversations can morph into discussions such as this?
  4. If money were no object i'd... pay to have magic mountain all to myself and my closest frineds for a day. I would purchase all of the man-made islands that make up the USA in "The World" Dubai Create a charity that would open up bariatric and cosmetic surgery to those who are less fortunate at the rate of one package a month. There are too many things to list...
  5. I'm down for paintball...
  6. No Problem... Your misinformed on the pricing structure, among other things but it's ok with me for you to post whatever you wish.
  7. We should have LBT mock elections. See who, according to our votes, would in the election based on the current list...
  8. Alright... I guess I got my answer on this one.
  9. I know about that one. I am talking about having speakers (bariatric surgeons, plastic surgeons, etc.) and clothing exchanges... Perhaps a biggest loser contest, before and after boards, etc. All sorts of fun stuff. I have the means to secure speakers, and sponsors, and a place for fills. Just need to get a general idea of who would be interested.
  10. I am curious to see who may be interested in a LBT event in Las Vegas. I have had this burning idea for about a year now, and may have the desire to see it through to fruition. I am thinking Vegas because flights are cheap and everyone just needs an excuse to go there... Let me know what you think!
  11. Awesome! Do let us know how it went!
  12. Petlady, Dr. Heap is not affiliated with Fill Centers USA, you will be fine.
  13. Your very welcome. I know of more companies as well, but in my experience, those 2 are the easiest to work with.
  14. There are a few resources out there. Try the following companies, they will find someone to finance you. eFinancing-Solutions, LLC 800-728-9585 Brian Landry is President of the company Citerra Financial Plastic Surgery financing 877-534-1993
  15. When I read the story they said the husband and wife were in their early forties.. so I guesstamated the 62. But still.. I don't have any kids yet. 1 even seems like a lot to me right now.
  16. I have never heard of a VG that only holds 7.5cc What does your card say?
  17. Both my mother and father had 10 siblings, so I know about big families and how they can function. I thought 11 kids were alot. I have to say that I am flabbergasted(sp?) by the thought of 17. I agree that in a world where most people are used to getting what they want, and now; growing up in a huge family such as theirs could provide them with a great lesson in sharing and cooperation. Selflessness would be another quality they could obtain from this type of environment. The certainly must have more patience than I do.
  18. "I don't even know how you got untied!" that was my favorite!! Although that other guy that one the head to head challenge was hysterical as well.
  19. I don't know if I could handle being 62 years old when my current newborn graduated high school. I wonder what the monthly food bill is...
  20. This is what I do when I get flu like symptoms and it should work for you, even with the band. The only problem is to gather the ingredients could be a bit pricey but will last you a long time... around $80. ingredients are all liquid except for chewable Vitamin c. Samucol (elderberry extract) Greatfruit seed extract (bottle looks similar to visine bottle but white) Ginsing chewable Vitamin C orange juice echinacea All ingredients go in a small juice cup 2 full droppers of sambucol 2 full droppers of ginsing 2 full droppers of echinacea 15 drops of greatfruit seed extract 2-4oz of OJ I mix it up really well to make sure the thicker liquids mix well and drink it. It is not a very tasty drink but it works every time for me. the most I have had to have is 2 servings (one a day) before my symptoms were gone. Give it a whirl. P.S. not medical advice, just a tried and true home remedy.
  21. By JILL ZEMAN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 12 minutes ago LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a girl — again — for the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed their 17th child, and seventh daughter, into the world Thursday. if(window.yzq_d==null)window.yzq_d=new Object();window.yzq_d['VyN2NNGDJHY-']='&U=13beu7vif%2fN%3dVyN2NNGDJHY-%2fC%3d588795.11098932.11669927.1442997%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d4608707'; Jennifer Danielle was born at 10:01 a.m. at Saint Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Ark., the Duggars said in an interview. Jennifer weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and arrived five days after Michelle's due date. Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more.:faint::faint::faint::faint: "We'd love to have more," Michelle said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace." Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in Tontitown in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled. The oldest is 19 and the youngest, before Jennifer, is almost 2 years old. "We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him," said Jim Bob Duggar, 42, a former state representative. "We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well." Jennifer joins siblings Joshua, 19; John David, 17; Janna, 17; Jill, 16; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 9; Jedidiah, 8; Jeremiah, 8; Jason 7; James 6; Justin, 4; Jackson, 3; Johannah, almost 2. The family includes two sets of twins. Michelle Duggar said that Joshua, Janna, Jill and Jessa were at the hospital, but that the rest of the family planned to visit their new sister later Thursday. Michelle Duggar said she started feeling contractions Wednesday night and went to the hospital at about 5 a.m. Thursday. "It actually went fast," she said. "I guess once I started progressing, it went within 30 minutes." Jennifer was born via a VBAC — or vaginal birth after Caesarean, Jim Bob Duggar said. The Duggars have been featured on several programs on cable's Discovery Health Network. The next special, the Duggar Family Album, is scheduled to air next month, Jim Bob Duggar said. Among the "fun facts" listed on Discovery Health's Web page devoted to the Duggars: A baby has been born in every month except June; the Duggars have gone through an estimated 90,000 diapers, and Michelle, 40, has been pregnant for 126 months — or 10.5 years — of her life.
  22. Stay away from slimfast if at all possible. There is usually a very high content of sugars. Even Ensure is way to high in that respect. There are plenty of product our there that will fit your needs as a new bandster that is low in sugar and carbs. Bariatrix makes a good product. You can find quite a few different things at Bariatric Advantage. (Nutritional supplements for Gastric Bypass Bariatric Surgery Patients from Bariatric Advantage) Hope that helps.
  23. Does anyone else watch this show? My fav to win is the big black man... He cracks me up.
