Happy Afternoon Betty, I love shopping, just as long as it isn't the grocery store... imagine that LOL Hope you got some good deals. I hate carrying it in the house and putting it away too. I get po'd when DH isn't around to help LOLOL. I love farmers markets, pick me up some sweet taters and zucchini please !!! YUMMM The rain just now stopped. But there is more to come, they say rain until Saturday morning eeeeeeeek ! I did call the insurance company and they were nice, they said they did receive all my stuff from the surgeon but the "review" people haven't put anything in the file yet. The rep told me to call on Tuesday. I said sure, no problem but please understand that my surgery is in 11 days. I need time for disability paperwork and my employer's paper work. I said if I don't get this stuff in on time, I'm screwed. She said she would put a rush on it. You can bet your sweet patooties I'm calling Tuesday Thanks for the "good luck" Betty Beanie, I can't wait to see your masterpiece. Let me know if my pea brain can help you. 1 1/2 hrs to go and I'm out like kraut (work that is). Weekend is almost HERE ! WHOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Hey Beanie !! Burbank COOL Beans !! ummmmm one thing.... did you check your calendar? (Eileen's ducking incase Beanie is contemplating throwing anything at her) :nervous No Beanie, I haven't heard from the insurance company. My doctors office called to set up the blood work that "they" do for this saturday. When I asked about the approval aka "pre-determination #" they told me not to worry about it. Well heck !! if my doctor wants to operate w/out a # fully knowing I'm not paying for it... by all means, knock your socks off. I've stopped worrying about it. Although all this worrying is keeping me from gaining weight LOL. I got on the docts scale and I'm the same weight... I've been eating like a pig b/c of my nerves. Maybe I should keep worrying LOL. Anyway, to answer your question, NO, I haven't heard from them. I'm going to call the insurance company right now... I'll let you know.

Very well said !! I'm happy for you

Good job Lynnie

Why don't you let him be the judge of that? Bet he likes what he see's :banana

Oy Girlie !!! Feel better soon *HUGS*

MANDY MANDY SHE'S OUR GIRL!!! Great progress Mandy...you rock !!!

Beanie when your right, your right, and your always right I vote for Mel Gibson and Mark Harmon (oooh those eyes) But! I do think the older generation of actors was MUCH more handsome than the actors today. I mean, the guys today are "cute" but back then they were dashing, sexy, striking, handsome... something you'd wanna eat for dinner ya know. I'll also admit that I love older men (that explains why I like kfc....oy) LOL

Good Morning Wet, sloppy, soggy, rainy morning in Jersey ick! They took more folks out by boat yesterday in Lodi. DH got 18" of Water in his shop so far, hopefully his equipment won't get wet, I mean you can only put things up so high. Betty thanks for the prayers. I can always use one or two Whats shakin with you today? Nothing much is happening here today, just work. Schools are off today for the Jewish Holiday so it was NICE driving into work. Even though its crapy out, I still dressed up for work today. Got a nice pink top and black slacks on w/my 2 1/2" black suede heels on. You realize wearing shoes like that makes me over 6 feet tall eeeeeeeeehaaaww *cracking whip* :guess thats right, I"m taller most people here and I get to look down at my boss *giggle* Get this...if I stand w/my shoulders back I'm even taller and pointier (who'zzzyer daddy?) . Okay enuf of being silly. WHO'S OUT THERE ? WANNA TALK ?

Randy, I thought your date was the 14th? GOOD LUCK !!!!

GOOD LUCK TODAY !! Dragonwilo – 13th

Your welcome I'm just a worry wort, can't help it I worry about everyone. Your not kidding its coming fast... gee, we'll both be in La La Land (no not CA) at the same time, do you know what time your OP is ? All I know is I'm the 2nd one of the day. Good thing IMHO... it gives the doc a chance to warm up b/4 he gets to me Its funny because every morning when I look in the mirror, my fear goes away and I say to myself I CAN'T WAIT (thats how disgusted I am with my appearance). Shan, Congratulations. I'm so glad to hear from you and I'm especially glad to feel the excitement in your post. Thanks for the advice Your on your way girl !!!! HUGS

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa What was the question ? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Chichigirl, I think you are pretty inspirational, don't sell yourself so short

Aww Becky, I'm so sorry that happened to you... some people just suck! I know your not going to believe me BUT!! I am really a shy person. It takes ALOT for me to say something to some one who is out of line. BUT !!! just push me over that edge and WHOMP! you better go change your underware. When people would stare at my sister (she was over 400 lbs at one time) it would piss me off to no end. I mean I felt so much rage and hurt inside. Most of the time I would hold off but there were a few times when I just couldn't stand myself so I went up to them and said "AND WHAT THE *F* ARE YOU LOOKING AT." GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!! But really, the best thing to do is kill them with kindness

Beanie your such a smartie !! I know your gonna whooop insurance ass Cindy, ordinary days are good days IMHO Well folks the floods are coming in, my DH just got a call from the police that they are opening the gates and soon his shop will be flooded with Water sigh !! poor guy can't get a break. Its TEEMING here!! No doubt that people in Northern Jersery are going to have water up to their ceilings. Shoot, just this past sunday the waters were up to their first story windows. I live right up the street from a major river here and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and praying for my neighbors. You know.... All I think about is those poor people in LA. My gosh, my gosh, my gosh !! We are no comparison but golly, when you see people's houses under water its really scary and it makes you realize just how blessed you really are. Anywhooooooooooo.. I think I'm done working for the day I'll just sit here and read up.

Congratulations Makena !!!!! I'll add you to the list

I'm not banded yet but! Are you sure its not allergies? if it is, none of that stuff is really going to help. I was taking childrens dimetapp liquid which is supposed to be very good... it did squat! I went to my doc, he gave me antibiotics, cought meds and a nasal spray. It seems like everyone is having allergy problems this year OY!!! Just something to think about GOOD LUCK

Yeah, this is the naughty thread

Careful, you'll get the hicccccups

Poke em in the eyes

COOL BEANS !!!!! Congratulations

Oh HONEY !!!! I know your scared, I'm scared too. But I honestly believe this is the right way to go (or I wouldn't be doing it). Just remember why you are doing it and keep that beautiful smile on your face !! Please let us know when your home. I'll be praying for you. HUGS !!!!

GOOD LUCK TODAY SWEETIE !!!!! Lsasha – 12th

Good Morning & HAPPY HUMP DAY !!!! Beanie, good to see you. Tell your boss I gave you the rest of the day off so you can get your letter done Tell him I have connections in joisey so he better let you go LOL ROFLMFAO!! (like that one Ray, bodda bing). Beanie, sorry about the food website lol. My friend said that she know's of a laywer that had lapband himself here in the NY area and will help people w/their insurance companies by writing a "letter" suggesting they cave in LOLOL !!! He said that most insurances approve it after receiving his letter. Cindy glad you had fun at the fair. Did you get a fried pnutbutter sand? LOL Thats really sad about the person blowing themselves up. I guess I"ll never understand why one would do that....actually I don't want to understand it...I'll just keep praying.

He said all my parts are right were they are supposed to be He even let me listen to my liver w/his stethoscope (sp?) he's such a cool guy. It was funny and embarassing b/c I had to lay down and you know when they tap their own fingers to hear the sound of where your organs are? well he kept telling me that I had to hold my boobs up... higher, higher... I said DOC !!! if I pull them up any higher I'll suffocate myself I was going to suggest he get a crain b/c I was tired of holding them up LOLOL
