Pat.... are you done decorating for christmas already? got your harley santas out? or was that Betty that collects them? Kat.... how are you? how is your DH and DD feeling these days? I'm gonna pass on the card exchange, I am so bad at sending them out b/c my brain is on over load that time of year... just a bit overwhelming for this ADHD Chick :bananajump: But !!! please know that you are all in my prayers always and especially Christmas Sherry are you home today? you lucky dog you. How is work? you seem to be more relaxed.... are things calming down with the knucklehead there? Did your DS pass the driving test? Diannnnnnnnnne.... December 22nd ??????????????? tell me more. Patty that was a beautiful post about going to the "racetrack." I am the same as you, I feel very lost in a big church. I like the way they conduct services but I feel empty in a way. Its so true that things happen in Gods time and not ours and you just keep on praying and we'll pray right along with you. Good things do happen to those who patiently wait How are the boys? Any new ebay items sent to your door..... trains, you know things like that ROFLMFAO !!!!!! Speaking of BETTY!!! oh BETTY were for art thou? whats shakin toots. How's DH... is he liking his new job? how about you, hows your job going along? how's da feet? Chrispy... I'm glad your doing well. Are you able to eat alot like I was b/4 my fills? when I told my doctor that I could eat an entire hero he was like yeah, so ??? it baffled my mind b/c I thought I could only eat about a cup of food. He was like well, your losing weight and thats all that matters... I was like HUH?????????? Talk about head games LOL. It wasn't until about my 3rd fill that I actually felt restriction. Good luck with yours :bananapowerslide: Mandy, I remember my G'ma favoring my cousins more than us and it did hurt. But as she got older, she wised up... kinda to late but not really because we got older too and accepted her for the loving lady she really was. I honestly don't think she knew exactly what she was doing.... but God is Good and she did realize it later on. I wish I had her back, I would love to have told her once more how much I loved her. Did you confront this woman?? (in a nice way?) Mary, your story is not boring. Its really sad what families do to each other isn't it. Your so much the better person and your kids will see and understand as they get older (but in the mean time it sucks doesn't it :Banane03: ) Hang in there Mary, your doing just fine and God will be with you thru it all. Cassy.............. OH GIRL !!!! just a few days away. I know just how you feel and *giggle* I'm excited for you.... shoot we all are. Don't you worry, things will go just fine and before you know it, you'll be home and on your way to a healthy new you. Darcy, how was your trip???????? last retreat I went on was in 1997. I stayed in a room with my sister and THANK GOD!!!! I had such gas that night. All I kept hearing after we turned the lights off was "PIG"... OMG "PIG" I think I would have exploded if I didn't........ no brownie sent that night. The retreat was called "A Walk to Emmus" ~ DeColores :Banane03: Annie bananie.... where are ya chicklet? Again, if I missed your name.. PWEEEEEEEEZE forgive me. Nothing much is happening here, SOSDD. The back is feeling a whole lot better but the hip is a little beach... I was on the treadmill and after 10 minutes I had to stop... I'm sure it just needs time but dang. Whats everyone cooking for Thanksgiving? I'm thinking of making Paula Deans pumpkin trifle... oh yeah baby. .

Yep the closer you are the harder it gets IMHO... GOOD LUCK !!!!

Hiya Ladies, Nothing much happening today, gonna see FIL in the nursing home/rehab. They diagnosed him with Alzheimers ((which I could have told them that years ago...schmucks.... long story anyway)). He'll be coming home soon and I don't know how my wheel chair bound MIL is going to handle him... so we shall see. Dianne, how was your trip to SC? are you still there? Pat believe it or not, I hate only a handful of popcorn... the raisinetts tasted MUCH better haaaaaaaaa Cute kitty Mandy. Chrispy how are you feeling? Veggie I agree with Pat.... that picture would make a great avitar. You can see your pretty face Cindy love or shall I say bunny girl...... :eek: hope your not doing to much work today. Well I gotta go clean my bed room TTYL. HUGS

I ate it as a mushy and gosh did it taste goooooooood!!! Just go slow and take very small amounts in, chew chew chew until it melts in your mouth. Slow is the key to not hurting yourself and chew well.

I agree with Leatha, just go slow and you'll know if your taking in to much at a given time. Listen to your body's signals.

Well Hidey Ho Everyone, I just read up on y'all and I'm glad everyone is doing well or on their way to feeling better What a long freakin week at work, the boss had nothing to do so it made my life miserable LOLOL. PITA!!!!! He's such a PITA, its his way or no way and basically you can call him a spoiled brat.... drives me nuts. Anywhooooo Its SATURDAY !!!! Whooooot. I have a apple/cinnamon glad oil/candle burning and it makes the entire first floor smell lovely. They only last about 2 hours and the flame goes off by itself when its done... nice for knuckle heads like me. Cindy I took DD to see Santa 3 and we laughed, martin short and tim allen were wonderful together, it was a great movie. I ate an entire box of raisinetts and 1/2 box of goobers... dinner wouldn't go down so I justified the candy in my mind LOLL..... who's the goofy goober??? My back/hip is feeling alot better, I can actually sit for more than 15 minutes (geee... thats not good either LOL) and I can tie my shoes. Boy did hurting my back set me back (no pun intended but funnnnny haaaaa). Today is cleaning and making baked ziti at DD's request. My house is not dirty but boy we have ALOT of clutter and it drives me bonkers. oh well. Whats up with you all ???? Veggie..... good luck hon on the liquid diet, I know its hard but it is gonna be so worth it. Try keeping busy to make the day go by faster. :Banane20:

Valley is in Ridgewood NJ Pascack Valley is in Westwood NJ I would assume you would go to the surgeon's office for a fill (thats where I go in Hackensack) or they might have you go to the hospital.. not sure, you'd have to call the surgeon.

Hi ladies, I'm sorry I can't read up or chat today. Your all in my thoughts. Luv yahs.

Awww Pat, glad its all done now.... *hug*

Well, Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called 'Yam.' Of course, they wanted the best for Yam. When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots. Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her! But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either. She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins. When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland. And the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. And when she went out west, to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped. Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow andwouldn't associatewith those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their tr ade on all the trucks that say, 'Frito Lay.' Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University) so that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips. But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home and announcedshe was going to marry Tom Brokaw. Tom Brokaw! Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset. They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he's just....... Are you ready for this? Are you sure? * * * * * * * OK! Here it is! * * * * * * * * * * * A COMMON TATER

Hiya Goils, Sherry... catchcha on the rebound Betty, keep washing those hands too. The way you catch colds is airbound but also from people coughing in their hands and touching stuff..ick. A bottle of that instant hand sanitizer is a good thing to have at your desk too. Keep well. Back is better, but the hip is aweful..it'll just take time. Mary I'm glad the kids had fun... did you take digital pictures? that would be funny if you actually got him looking out the window. Got a turkey in the oven already and I need to do laundry, some more tidying up AGAIN because you know once DH got home after work yesterday things around here expode..draws open, crap gets thrown all over the place LOLOL !!!!! Oy vey. Have a groovy day everyone

okay what'd I miss??? Pat why did you cover everything and what stupid people to turn the lights on w/plastic around it....duh.

My favorite belly satisfying soup after surgery was Campbell Selects Butternut Squash, it had teeeeeeeny pieces and I mean teeny, like rice teeny pieces of potato. I lived on that stuff and I still eat it a year later. .

Here here, chips and chocolate are the devil. I have to agree, more Protein, less carbs and the carbs you do eat, make them good carbs. My DH just started atkins almost two weeks ago...his hunger is nil and his WL is 9 lbs in 12 days. He's only got 6 or so more pounds to lose before reaching goal but his appetite is definitly better. (((men sheeeeesh))). Hang in there Alex.

Oh Pat I hate that when you are coughing so hard, its a scary thing for a bandster. Oh and the coughing and farting ROFLMFAO!!! bet your house keeper thought you were coughing to hide the fart sounds haaaaa !! poor baby. Feel better huh. This summer was insane, but heck, you never know when we'll meet up. Cindy have a great day zooooooom !!!!! Well back to cleaning... gotta rest inbetween..the leg/hip still hurts like a bugger.

People always mock what they don't understand.

Good Morning, Mary, good to see you too chicklet. Have fun trying to see the Prez. Patty my stars lady, I agree with Mary, go to that manager and demand your money back into your account. Banks can be such asswipes. When my father passed away, my mom went to the bank to get money out to bury him. The bank froze her account !!!!! she was screaming and yelling at the biotch of a teller and the manager that they should pay for his burial then... how stupid and insensitive of them. My point is.... you need your money to live and they need to give it back to you. Nothing much happening today, cleaning, running to a few stores, laundry and soft foods lol. How about you all ? .

I'm one year out and there isn't any food I can't eat.... I don't know if thats good or bad LOLOL !!!! .
