agreed. liked him for the same reasons - was thoughtful in giving the free groceries to aubrie, he seemed just into losing weight & i still think he does; but dad is a huge influence.....and not sure such a hot one these days. my opinion of both has changed.

maybe your mourning the joy of food - because it's a chore sometimes to eat? i'm a foodie, and there isn't much i can't eat - actually there isn't any....i do catch myself watching others eat while dining out. like i just want to bite into a huge burger w/all the fixings and not have to wait till it's cold before i dig into another bite. or i notice that someones' meal came 20mins after mine & they're done - while i gingerly take my time. sometimes the joy is gone. as for cravings, dairy & fish are much stronger than before the band. artificial sweetners - can't stand them. i was a diet coke freak, low fat this / that .... now i get headaches, and the taste is metalic. funny all the diet stuff didn't stop me from getting fat:)......

:glare: having over the top mtgs:), unable to manage & effectively communicate to staff.....slips happen ahhhhh i could right a book:)

ebony - was your union rep in the mtg? good as time as any to get a notebook & journal every conversation - save every IM, email, vmail from here on out w/your supervisor & anyone else that acts in that capacity. they always slip up:) sorry the mtg didn't go so hot - think you handled yourself very well.

yeah - she did enjoy it, i would have been turned off......but she did do the right thing in sending sione home. he did look very handsome!!!

if it were me w/the golden ticket & kristen fell below the yellow line - i would have ax'd her......such a suck up.

pictures help!!! that looks really good - never thought about mixing artichokes w/eggs ... but why not??? yesterday - b- half slice ww toast w/peanut butter & peach smoothie l- 2 veggie spring rolls s - handful of mixed nuts d - shrimp fried rice - lots of shrimp & veggies, very little brown rice s- one final bite of cheescake - it's gone!!!!

suppose to be in the 80's today - finally spring is back, but i wanted to strangle the damn bird that was SO friggin happy - wouldn't let me sleep in. ebony - be thinking of ya today!!

what debating? no such thing on this board any longer. btw - beth is no newb * dr phil also makes me puke in my mouth.

well how convienient. every damn thread her hot ass participates in results in what GOD says....well - he's done. he called wants his calling card minutes transferred to paul rudd. so you give lieniency to PG - cause why???? she's been a strain on the system - not this lib ... trust me , uncle sam gets more than his due from dh and myself and i'm retired before 40. i have been friends w/BJean since i joined - share the same politics & fought in many threads before many here joined. have at it - ya'll.........

would love it - throwing up in my mouth is not band friendly.

actually the lib homies are actually put off with the father/son/holy ghost/ constantly thrusted in every damn discussion on this board - so we're off having a glass of wine. GOD really needs a vaca after reading this board!!!! he's so busy. if only my ignore feature would block quotes from the "sheltered"......a feature alex should explore.. i'll save my raspberries for my future contempt fees.....

oh cleo's mom i have been following you & yes you should change dr's.....but get the proper information regarding what band you do actually have. my discharge papers gave me the warranty & box my band came in - serial number etc.....BIG diff between the APS standard than what you have. my surgeon is an hr away - and went into private practice from true results 6 months ago; moving another 20mins north of me. geographically undesirable - YES; but he's done thousands of bands & will see me as fast as i can get there if needed. keep us posted -

i did laundry, while writing a tort argument... beth - really; you got gang mentality going on & it's distracting whether you agree or not - it is.

omg your too funny. i'm married to an engineer (we were banded the same day) - we "did" a wkly friday weigh in and he ran a chart VERY similar.....was annoying at first - then the competitiveness kicked in.

it's every day - squirrel heads that they think are a tennis ball; frogs, mice, you name it - love it when they get skunked too. re the pie - my big lab is know around my small town and has a lot of friends who feed him. he's been know to steal food off peoples picnic tables & last yr stole a smoked turkey right from a family reunion party. needless to say DH and i had to order pizzas for them...

hey i got bambi's foot too - :thumbdown: can't help what the dogs bring in as souvenirs .,...

****oh crap ebony**** i'll be rubbing my lucky rabbit foot for ya!!!!!

dh REALLY wants to do his geneology, because i'm not sure his family would know the truth if it slapped them upside the head. a LOT doesn't make sense to me - so he really would like the G2.....they were overly religious on both sides & deception involved (my opinion). i think it will be a GREAT novel. mine is really easy. my paternal grandfathers sister did all the leg work a few yrs back. on my fathers side, his family migrated to switzerland from sicily and changed their name. dropped the 2 vowels in the beginning & end...and adopted a swiss "type" name. they did so to get jobs in NYC other than bricklayers - which was what the rest of the family ended up doing when they jumped the pond. mom's family left germany before hitler lost his 'effin mind. they settled in a farming town in SW VA and never practice their jewish faith. being blonde was a plus - they fit in. can you hear denial???? guess they did what they did - all around the same time. when my great grandfather died & i was cleaning out his brownstone w/my mom, we found his birth certificate - he had gone by the name arthur, but realized he was really antonio.....

sometimes shocking the body is a good thing. eat more or less; different foods......same w/exercise - mix it up. you should also start taking measurements - a lot of times when the scale stalls your losing inches.....especially if your working w/a trainer. don't get too discouraged.!.

yesterday - not much of anything today - 45min session w/trainer: upper body weights / abs / hamstring & glutt band exercises. 20min physical therapy on ankle. going to try doing some walking tomorrow on the ankle - take it slow; it seems to be getting stronger & no cardio for 2wks is a drag.

i was given tetracycline as a baby for asthma & it made my teeth very week & a bit discolored. i'm regular w/my cleanings twice a yr - had zoom back in july and continue to bleach them around 4 times a wk. i had to have 3 extractions & implants put in in sept. i rinse with biotene mouth wash & floss almost all the time - i'm not overly regular about it but i do the rinse first before brushing each time. i understand dental healthy is very important - as poor hygiene here can lead to other illnesses???? makes sense.

hahahahahaha , can't see marlee & me - the book crushed me * can't imagine the movie ... i have a "marlee" & he's just now at the perfect age of 5, but the early yrs - i could have written the book.....not a graceful lab:)

same here - i lived it. while me and my co-worker were decent friends, she complained that doing work on the wkend cut into her family time. i reminded here that , that was the only time i got to see MY husband before packing my suitcase on sunday night & coming home on thursday - while she WAS w/her family. i pushed back, pushed back, pushed back - and refused to pick up her slack....she lost all her "favors". when i stopped working she took over the travel portion & complains she's not w/her family anymore & the person hired to do the "at home" job abuses her. karma.

raw - in the dream we were making fish - yes after 5million pages. re coworker - DH made a good point; if you can use part of the day to surf & play w/out issue go ahead. not the same situation but me and a colleague shared the same customer - but because i had no kids, i was the one on the road all the time, while she worked from home in her jammies taking care of kids. i decided that i would only travel during business hours - not take calls after 6, and never on the wkend. it wasn't my style; but that line in the sand forced my boss to have her handle during those hours while i lived out of suitcase.
