Wish there was a love button -)

If you want to love Winnie the Pooh's philosophy of life and have no button to express it, why not reread the book? That's LOVE.

Great suggestion!

Awesome loss and Congratulations on restart!

Wishing you continuing great success!

I love you too (but you already know that too hehe) @WLSResources/ClothingExch

:-)

Agreed on the reaction to his reply. Whether it was surreal or lunatic, it made me want to inhale.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to roll a fatty on election night.

I may take a page from your book -- a fatty or, if necessary, a midnight training goin' anywhere...beyond U.S. borders. North.

I had work in KY. Great history and legends in the industry. Its also huge in Ireland and Scotland I love visiting wineries too. My visits to Napa were great. In NY there is this one. http://www.tuthilltown.com/ Nice heavy rye bourbon

Gardiner is only about 2 hours up the Hudson, a nice area. Hmm... It might happen. I had no idea there's production in NYS other than the wineries. P.S. Because you mentioned jazz in Djmohr's status on wine, I mentioned a film that might be of interest to you.

Thanks for letting me know about

he got some award or something recognizing his musical history? think i heard something - luv him - kathy

@proudgrammy, the Nobel Prize for literature. It's a big deal.

OMG, yeah i'd say that's a big deal!!! - thanx for straightening me out LOL

Not even Gefilte fish ???

He, he ....

I suppose you think you're cute, Missy? Well, you are.

But of course ....

I'll hide and take cover, but I'm glad you are in a good mood. If you warn us when you're in a good mood, I'm terrified of your bad moods hehe.

I **AM** always in a good mood. That doesn't mean I have to spread it.

@Sai, I'll give you fair warning. You'll be safe....@LipstickLady, are you doing what's called splitting splinters? )I just made that up and have no idea what it means.)

"Snacking?" What's that? Never heard of it. Never ever.

It was the pumpkin tortilla chips from Trader Joe's that finally got me... :'(

Early in my lapband career I was able to measure out 1/2 ounce or a full ounce of chips as I planned meals. Then something changed and I couldn't stop, so I stopped buying them for the rest of the time that I stayed with the plan. I don't know if I'd be able to control it now, so I won't take the chance on buying chips yet.

Golly gee, I wonder why that is?

NO CLUE. I'm innocent.

Mark Twain, one of the writers who can/could have had me, wrote "Innocents Abroad." I shall borrow from him -- "Innocence: A Broad."

bwahahaha, good one

So they advertise the date and location of the sale. For a week before the sale, people come with their clothing items tagged, hung and priced. They are assigned a number that they place on their tags. They get 30 - 40% of the sale price and my friends get the remaining cut. It's a ZOO. The sellers get a pre-sale date to shop before it opens to the public. Anyone who volunteers gets a discount, too. There is a few days of after sale when sellers come collect their clothes or they are donated to a clothes bank. The big work for them is keeping track of who gets what as the clothes sell. It's definitely a lot of work, but the participants are HUGE and bring PILES and PILES of clothes.

I have never participated but the $$ flow is great for all interested. Because the seller prices their own stuff, it's up to them how much they potentially earn. It's a great concept all around.

The venue size is HUGE. Clothes, toys, handbags, shoes, maternity... HUGE for Virginia is about 10,000 square feet of empty store front. It's a cool process and a brilliant idea.

@LipstickLady. You're fast. As you see, I deleted my reply to your first note and sent it to you via BPmail. Now I shall see if I can print out this info. Thanks so much.

Right after me!

This is your lucky day. I'm too tired and satisfied with the day to snap back at you. Excellent but way busy clothing exchange; a much larger turnout and far more clothes than has happened in a while. You're not so bad for runner up. Ha!

Glad you had a great day! <3

That sounds fun! Enjoy.

Have a great time!!!

The evening was wonderful, as though no time had passed.

I have never laughed so hard as when I saw it. Was so outrageous at times, you just can't be offended.

It was great. @LipstickLady -- judged by people in your area? The bible belt, I think? @suzzzzz -- if no one's offended, the show would have closed long ago. I did wonder, though, whether everyone in the audience knew what they were coming to beyond a hit show. We're still in heavy tourist season here.

Bible Belt indeed.

Haha, my husband is from South Dakota, their mascots are Coyotes and Jackrabbits. Terrifying, right?

@ShelterDog64, I'm from Brooklyn where had squirrels and sparrows year-round and, in season, jackalopes.

Ha Ha! Too funny

@krakow57, I didn't mean to be "ha ha" funny. It was an observation on a post that I chose not to respond to.

Fair enough. Just that it seemed funny to me, not knowing what it was all about. Now it is interesting .....

Yes, some posts are best left alone.

It certainly does and is.

@WLSResources - mine used the word "only" as well. She had asked what my final goal weight was and asked how I would feel if I only got down xxx instead of my goal. I think she specifically chose the word "only" to see what sort of reaction it would trigger in me. I was pretty impressed with her - there were definitely times where she used likely trigger words to gauge my reactions, not because she was being insensitive.

@heidikat72 I believe that's what mine was doing as well. I don't remember the exact wording she used but it didn't bother me.

Sorry to hear that! Hope you feel better soon! What does the blood work indicate?

Could be the gallbladder, if you still have one.

I had mine out years ago, as the pain was unbearable. Good luck! xxx

Gallstones ???? Very sorry you are hurting.

@Dub, where'd you get gallstones? Not in my abdomen you didn't. Did you read the entire post? Nothing familiar?

jealous!

@Cervidae, get jealouser now: It WAS good. I would have gone Friday also, but the heat and humidity were beyond brutal. Maybe next year I'll get to two or even all three days.

@OutsideMatchInside... down girl down!

That's the beauty of forums... you don't have to reveal a single thing about yourself.

Just be kind and understanding that someone wants to be here for whatever reason.

Smoking! Congratulations!

Thanks for the cheers, all. @Unbridled, first there was the verb, then there was the gerund - same DNA with a slight mutation. @OutsideMatchInside, nothing devious or nefarious about it. Upon signing on at BP and about to enter the stats, I was interrupted by the phone. It then occurred to me that entering the stats would serve me not. Jotting them in my trusty, little notebook is quicker than electronics. When asked, I reveal. When pertinent, I include the info in my posts. @krakow57, I stopped smoking in 2001!

That is flippin' awesome! I'm so proud of you.

Absolutely! Believe it!
