Legally, you don't have to give up your medical information to your boss. Just say that you have health issues that you had to resolve and you are still under Dr care.

Attacking public figures (whether we agree with the attack or not ) should be fair game. Attacking fellow bandsters (fatso?) should be off limits. :crying:

Welcome ladies and have fun posting!:crying:

Weightview.com Here is my before and after 50 lb virtual weight loss. This is so neat!

Thank you Jack for your post. The bigger picture or point I was trying to make was that this "thread" exists so that we can rant, rave, hoot , or holler. I know that it is the Lounge( minor point). Part B was on target.

I think she is referring to me and she has gone too far. First of all this thread exists so that we can rant or rave about a political candidate, not insult fellow bandsters. I will not engage in that with you. Secondly, you don't know anything about me. You only know what I have posted. How I feel about a candidate and other issues is my choice and as a responsible professional I keep that separate from work. Now, because I posted that I think Palin is a moron politically, you attack me personally? For you my dear, the anonymity of the Internet is a blessing. I tell you what. I will pm you my demographics. On Monday, walk up to someone that fits my demographics and say that to them. I never said that I was a teacher. Do your homework and check your facts (psst...here's a hint-take a look at my profile) Vocabulary????

I am like indigo girl I don't have a full degree in politics either. Actually, I have a degree in history with a minor in political science I also have a masters degree in education and a class a teachers certification with an emphasis in history (which was earned by the age of 24) as well as a class a certification in educational leadership and administration. I could run circles around most people in conversations regarding politics and American political, economic, and social development. However, this is a give your opinion, hoot, holler, rant and rave thread. If I choose to give my opinion without any follow- up well that's called perogative. It does not mean that I am ignorant to the issues or that I can't make my case. I am well qualified to go toe to toe with fact spitting posters. This is validated by my educational background. It is this same background that has led me to determine that palin is a moron. Retarded in her views and attack dog style of politics. By the way, if Obama is elected to the presidency, will those true blue, country first Americans still remain patriotic?

Oh honey, I am so sorry. Please keep fighting for what you want.

wonk wonk...

Is my stomach growling or is it just gastric noise? I guess I better learn to tell the difference.

s-n-t you are a hot mess girl! I just posted on the woman vp thread and I am sure I will be assaulted for my statement. Come on over with your solution for crime and help a sista out!

Logically, she is a high functioning moron.

Let's stop the blame game. Palin does a pretty good job at making herself look like a moron.

Skeeee Weeeeee my sorors! Welcome to the forum ladies (sorors snd lil sistas of DST) :tongue:

I can not wait until Palin debates Biden. That is going to be hilarious! It will be even funnier watching republicans try to justify her performance.

where is a moderator when you need one? Look grown ups we all knew that when we subscribed to this thread that it was controversial. If a poster says something that you don't like, respond and move on. Period. Stumpy arms or not Muslim or not, move on! Now much love to all of my banded people. Now with that said, does you know who actually believe that obama is a church going Muslim? That post was both confusing and amusing at the same time!

I took a full body pic yesterday so that I could send to the weight view site. Post yours once you get it back and I'll post mine!

The realize band is a 9cc band

lol I actually thought about how the virtual models would look with saggy skin! There is another website that uses your actual photo. I need to take a full body pic so that I can do that one. It's www.weightview.com

Now anne, you do realize that you just created a new thread for people to argue and attack! :biggrin:Sorry girl but I couldn't resist. I hope that people take it for what it is. A place to rant off topic and receive wls support.

I use this in my album and update it as I lose weight. I think that it is just too cute!

During my soft foods (mushy) phase I an have cheese and crackers. Now that tortilla bread I nibbled on (several times), well that's another story...

Oh Jack, you could make the end of the world sound like Thoreau. I love it! I should call you Jack Frost as in Robert Frost. So Jack where I'm from we would say "Chile, you gon' get fat!" he he

OMG! It is so different being on this side of the band. I keep touching my port kinda like a pregnant woman touches her belly-incredulous! Hmm.. What everyone said about gas was very true for me. Have all meds. on hand as well as food for liquids and other stages of eating. I cleaned (think nesting). Especially my kitchen. I organized cabinets and even created a special place for Protein, drink mixes etc. I have the realize band. It is installed without fill but you are suppose to have restriction simply because of placement. So I am learning my band. My doc. will not do the first fill until 6 weeks out! I lost 11lbs from day of surgery to 8 days post op. However, it took 1 1/2 more weeks to lose 2 lbs. I think it is because I have started eating more protein in meat form like grilled fish, chicken salad and moist roasted chicken-that really surprised me. I thought that since I did not have any fill that I would start gaining after I started eating food. I hope this helps.

Yes but she can see Russia from her house... or as one CNN contributor put it "I can see the moon from my backyard but that doesn't make me an astrophysicist."
