Oh, I know. I just didn't want to assign why I think no one else replied either, so I was just using why I didn't. Sorry for the confusion.

BJean- to clarify I've seen it with my friends and hubby. I was just mentioning the radio thing because I thought it was interesting. I live in the DFW area. My hubby has chronically been accused of "acting white" and has learned to brush it off. I'm amazed at the kinds of things people will say to promote a candidate. It does go in all directions, but I've particularly seen it in Obama's case.

lol, I have to laugh. I didn't respond because BJean, you're exactly right. You keep saying what you keep saying, I keep saying what I keep saying, we all keep repeating, but in different wording, what we've said before. Why keep saying the same thing over and over again?

I've been feeling really moody too... but not because of TOM. I'm just feeling really emotional and dare I say, fragile! My husband will say the slightest thing and I'm getting all upset and feeling like he doesn't care about me. *sigh*. I really hate feeling like this.

Well, we're not TRYING perse, but we're not NOT TRYING. I have PCOS and have been told that getting pregnant will be difficult if not impossible, so I'm feeling like if I do get pregnant, it's not going to be for awhile...

We're not in a branch, but we are in a smaller sized ward. I have two callings, but neither of them take very much time. It seems like the responsibility falls on the shoulders of a few people and not evenly spread out there. There are some people who don't have any callings.

Today at church a sister approached me and mentioned how good I look and that it looked like I had lost a lot of weight. Well, that made me feel so good! But then she and another sister asked me how I did it. Well, I told one person in my ward, but didn't really feel like I wanted to share with anyone as to getting surgery. I told them I did it with portion control and exercise, which is TRUE, but not TRUE. You know what I mean? Now I'm feeling really bad, like I lied. And at church! I don't know, maybe I just need to get over it... I mean, I didn't want to be rude, but I don't feel like telling anyone about the surgery.

BJean- I'm not referencing TV. I'm referencing real life... I've personally seen pressure on a lot of friends I have and my own husband, who are black. When the Primaries were in Texas, in fact, a radio station spent several hours analyzing, with calls in and such, indicating that you're not a real black person if you don't vote Obama.

Hey, WELCOME! We're glad you're here.

TDPW- your name makes me laugh... it's not you though. My husband's initials are P T D W and for the longest time while we were in college in different states, all I would see when I IM'd him or something was P T D W responded, P T D W is typing. So I get confused when I see you. :smile: Good memories... :crying:

I've been wanting popcorn, but been holding off due to what I've heard in the past. I think I should give it a try! I miss movie and popcorn!

It's so like a car accident!!! I try to stay away, but I'm sucked back in. No willpower I tell you! :smile:

I agree Elenation. About the Ronald thing, to en extent yeah, but I have seen the dramatic pressure black folks put on eachother to vote for Obama. It's assumed that because you're black you support Obama. When you say you're not, there's an immediate, I don't know what you'd call it, backlash, semi outcast moment- that's you're not really black if you don't vote Obama. I also think it's amusing about how he's black but not all black. Why can't he be white? He's got that in him too? The whole "one drop" rule I guess is king.

I'm sure this won't be a popular opinion, and I haven't finished reading the whole board yet so I don't know everything that has already been said... but... :smile: I don't think America is NOT ready for a black president. I think Obama is not experienced enough to be president... if he's not elected it won't be because he's black, it's because he lacks fundamental experience. Frankly, given his resume and the lack of experience therein I think the only reason he's gotten so far is BECAUSE he's black. No white guy with his exact level of experience would have been the nominee.

A model... :smile: hee hee. He just likes to look GOOD!

you're lucky lun! The port pain was the worst kind after I got banded.

Wow, that one seems like it has a LOT of features! I don't know why I feel stress in picking the right one... I just don't want to get in using something for months and then change. I like consistency. I'll have to try out fatsecret too... Thanks!

Ug, I would just die if Huckabee were VP! I think that's a losing ticket anyway... Huckabee drives me crazy! The winning ticket for McCain is McCain/Romney, I think.

gobbler, welcome welcome welcome! I to have a relationship with food and am slowly learning to deal with it differently! It's hard sometimes, but rewarding!

I don't even notice I have a band in normal day to day life. I know when I eat and I can feel my port on my stomache... but it's not uncomfortable, unless you eat and don't chew or you eat really fast.

Yes, except even though I ASKED him to do this because I know I'll forget, I still get offended when he mentions it... poor hubby, just can't get anything right. :biggrin: It's a lose lose situation.

Of course, the ticker is awfully big...

I also like that you can customized your tracker with pics (like mine of the AA plane!)

I must say I do like myfitnesspal since I've been using it a couple day. I gave up on thedailyplate. I used sparkpeople for awhile, like the pages, forums and what not, but it could never track my weight right. So I gave up. I'll have to look at fitday... but we may have a winner with myfitnesspal!

Holland- AWESOME! I too haven't had soda since my surgery. As time goes on it's getting easier.
