"Just" Paul

Ahhh... No. I am actually speechless.:omg: Nothing to add here... please go away.

I never intended to offend any Catholics, sorry if I did, especially you, Paula. Just telling a story I found interesting.

Keep me out of your dirty talk, you foul-mouthed temptress! BTW, are you a foul-mouthed temptress? If so, PM me, we need to talk privately.

I had to do it... it wasn't easy, but I lost 15 lbs in those 2 weeks, and it helped "clean" out my insides prior to the surgery, which my docs says makes recovery easier. My doc is a real stickler on this stuff... 2 weeks pre-op, low carb liquids. 2 weeks post op clear liquids 2 weeks pureed foods/thick liquids 2 weeks mushies then Gradually move into solids. He says NO exceptions, and has you work with the dietician on a plan outlining your meals and supplements.

Not an attack on the Catholic Church, simply a statement on hypocrisy. It is not 3rd party information... I was there during the whole "ordeal". The friend wanted a catholic mass mainly for her dying grandma, otherwise she would have gone another route. BTW, I was not only raised Roman Catholic, I was an alterboy, then a lector, and was on the church board at the age of 15. I attended catholic school, and was accepted into the seminary, but declined. I have 2 great uncles who are priests, a cousin who is a priest, an inlaw who is a priest, 2 great aunts who are nuns, a great aunt who was a mother superior and founder of a library program at a major Catholic university, and an inlaw who is an ex-nun. Believe me, I DO know the Catholic church... very well. Don't think I need to go take a quick class on it. Be happy to debate the Catholic church at any time. Not against it at all, but disagree with may of it's policies. Not a criticism, not a personal attack. Simply an observation.

My mom suffers from "Pain-in-the-ass" syndrome. It's a shame, really. Very debilitating.

Linda Carter always did that on WonderWoman when she was "Diana Prince" in the first season, which took place during world war 2. OK... OK I watched the show... a lot. Still do. Have it on DVD actually. As a kid, it was the only one of "my shows" my dad would watch with me. Not Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Ultraman, Incredible Hulk... none of them but Wonder Woman. Go figure.

My wife keeps saying that the band was bad for her... she eats everything I don't finish.:heh:

Even though I'd love to get rid of this skin on my abdomen.. PS scares me. I guess I am just a chicken sh%$, but I may have watched too many of those shows on the Discovery Health Channel.

Me too... Oh wait... I had the chilli. Oh no... here we go again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/........................ ,........................ ........................ ......................... ................. ........ .. . .... ........ . . .. .. Be back in a bit.

Goal and near goal... WOO HOO!!!!! Way to go, ladies!

OK... I am originally from Pittsburgh (or Pixburg as the natives call it) and folks do not realize how bad the accent is up there. Here's my favorite example. If I wanted to go to downtown Pittsburgh, to the Giant Eagle supermarket to buy some bologna, and I wanted to know if you'd like to come along... in Pittsburgh, I'd say: Hey, yinz guyz goin' like dahntahn dahn nair ta da gian-iggle ta git sum jumbo anat? Yinz wanna ride me dere?

It's me... isn't it.:think It's not because I can't spell, rather... I can't type. I'm trying, really:cry I'll keep practicing... I promise. Boo hoo hoo...

Thanks you! I have a Vanguard Band... currently with 5.8 CCs in it, and unlikely to go any higher as I am within 30 lbs of goal, and am pretty well restricted.

I have a friend from years back, and she met this guy she wanted to marry. He was divorced, but it would be her first marriage. She wanted a catholic church wedding, but again, he was divorced. he applied fo an annulment, and was denied... afterall, he was married for 6 years and had two kids... how can you annul that, they said. He later donated $5000 to a papal charity fund... 2 weeks later that reconsidered his annulment and granted it. What does that make his kids? because now, in the eyes of the church, he was never married to their mother? Besides, what hipocracy!
