    Aww I just read your post, its really heart breaking losing a friend and I don't blame you for waiting, I would too. HUGS !!!
  3. Thats cool!! Which support group do you go to?
  4. Great band !! weren't they rated one of the biggest hair bands of the 80's LOL. Today's rock just doesn't compair
  5. I still want the band and I realize that its a tool to help you fight the fat demon, not the cure. I agree with Paula on getting some face to face support, even if its 1:1. What about us here having a scheduled chat??? I know its hard w/east coast and west coast hours but we could try?
  6. Hey Mr. Ivan, How are you doing ?
  7. Alex, I'm in Bergen Cty. I've decided to check out Dr. Ballantyne (sp?). Ivan708 has convinced me that he's a good surgeon LOL. Hackensack Hospital Debbie WTG !!!! I'll be rootin for yah (okay I'll really be praying lol). Paula, you are REALLY south. How's the humidity down there? we finally just got a break today.
  8. I agree, some are fortunate, they breeze right through whereas others seem to struggle so much more. I wish I had the magic words to get you motivated, but until I find them, please know that we are here for you. Eileen
  9. Where is everybody ? :cross-eye

    Another scorcher today here in NJ. Yesterday one of the girls I work with (who doesnt drink Water oy) went outside to smoke, came back in and had heat stroke. We had to call the ambulance to come and get her b/c her fingers and hands cramped up. SAD!!! Be careful everyone, especially if you are not used to the heat.

    Christina, sorry you lost your pup. Its never easy because they are more than just a pet, they become family members. My Susie goes for a 1 - 2 mile walk every morning with DH, then she comes home, has Breakfast and is really treated like one of us. I mean if we go out for ice cream guess who's in the car getting her very own cone lol. Have you thought about getting a new friend?
  16. They sound yummy. I've tried Starbucks coffee before and wasn't really impressed for the amount of money they cost. How much are the mochiato's?
  17. I hope you don't mind me asking these questions. If you need a bigger band, then why go for the fills? And are you saying that they now make the bands bigger because of the very problems you are describing? I'm so sorry you had to go thru such a rough time... HUGS !!!
  18. Your not a weenie, I'd be the same way. Who isn't scared of the unknown?
  19. Awwwwwwwww Congratulations !!!!!
  20. Good Luck !!!! and moreso, MEGA PRAYERS to both you and Bonnie !!!
  21. I really can't say it here (way to personal ***giggle*** but I know its DH's too.) What I can say is, I really want to look sexy without showing anything, if you know what I mean. Just really striking/pretty.
  22. When the woman's right, she is right !! roflmfao:banana
  23. NJChick replied to NJChick's topic in The Lounge
    Thank you !! She really is my pride and joy, other than my daugher of course Paula good idea about the avitar! just looking at the one I have now makes me more nervous roflmfao !! Cindy, she has lovely colors, except when I'm wearing black DeLarla she is the biggest whimp when it comes to me touching her paws. When I cut her nails, I almost have to sit on her LOL, poor thing (some times she pee's on herself lol). I can't imagine painting them although I have though about it before. Vines, Astro is a great name for a dog. I love old dogs too but puppies just melt my heart. I sware if I didn't have to work, I would have 10 dogs (and probably no husband LOL).
  24. Thanks Joyce Wannabesmall, hang in there !!!!
