And was that woman named "Beth"? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Lu, y'all recert twice a year? Damn, y'all do like going out to the range, lol.

LOLOLOLOLOL.....that dude is the hardest working man in pseudo-reality TV. Trying to sleep with the men and the women? He was nothing if not ambitious.

*thread hijack - sorta.... I just read where Phoenix is rated the #2 kidnapping city in the world...only Mexico City is worse. But don't worry, it's mostly illegal-on-illegal crime.

All that stuff would have been in evidence, where it'll be preserved. The technology of DNA recognition is changing so fast that law enforcement tries to preserve EVERYTHING, not knowing what could possibly be used in the future. *total thread hijack, but I saw on TV awhile ago that Dr. Baden (the famous forensic pathologist) was talking about how the police screwed up the Nicole Brown Simpson / Ronald Goldman crime scene. Baden said that if the police had cordoned off / closed the crime scene then they probably would have been able to get more usable DNA, and the trial might have ended quite differently....

Well, I didn't vote for Obama......but now that he's the pres, I'll cut him some slack....I'm not jazzed about what looks to be the nationalizing of some of the bigger banks, but we'll see how it plays out.

Well, respectfully, sabretooth, if we could lose 75 lbs pretty easily, none of us would need the band. The reason that you see a big weight loss pre-surgery is because it's a liquid diet. I suspect for most of us, when we started to eat real food, the weight would come right back, if not for the band.

Hi needchange. My advice would be for you to look at the various weightloss surgeries and pick out the one that best seems to fit your lifestyle. If you've been to a seminar and met with your doctor, then you've got at least an idea of band life. Are you as familiar with the RnY, DS, Sleeve? Don't get me wrong.....I love my band, and it's working great for me.....but I think it's up to every individual to pick the surgery to match them. Hope that helped! Good luck!

Hey Bonnie, glad to have you aboard! If you're 6 days post op, you might still be feeling a bit rough. Hang in there, it gets better quickly.

Hey snereb27, that's great news!! The last month before surgery is the worst, lol. I know you are anxious to "get started". Good luck!

Hello there kenworthguy. Welcome to lapbandtalk! There certainly is a lot of information on here, so kick back and start reading. Good luck!

A pine float - LMFAO! I have never heard of that before. Is that a regional saying? Too funny.... As far as the band goes, I personally can eat almost anything, if I follow the rules (eat slowly, small bites, small portions, no drinking with meals, etc). Some very soft doughy breads and very very dry meats sometimes give me trouble, but that's about it. A good first step would be for you to attend an informational seminar in your area. That'll give you the opportunity to ask specific questions to a surgeon, as well as giving you an overview of band life. Good luck in whatever you choose!

Well teech, that sounds pretty rough. However, it has to kinda feel good to be vindicated......as it sounds like your ex was not the man you thought he was. Bask in the now. You've certainly landed on your feet.

The new evidence was that the cellmate of the accused illegal immigrant told authorities that the illegal immigrant confessed to him to doing the crime. Based on that, I think they're able to legally get a DNA sample to compare to whatever was left at the scene.

That's where Gloria Allred came into the picture. She apparently negotiated that deal (or at least is claiming credit for it). Heh.....Allred still cracks me up.

Ok movie reviewers....this weekend I saw Friday the 13th. Not bad for a remake. Jason kills lots o' people....lots o' blood....lots o' boobs... Not really scary per se, but there were some "startle ya" moments. And the guy that plays Jason looks HUGE. Not a bad popcorn film.

I had a bison steak once, in a restaurant. It was pretty good...

Uh, Golgotha - The place of the skull?!? and Wunderpootie - super pootie.... Put them together and......I think I'm a little scared...

Dear Seuss, I never expected this to happen to me. I was hitchhiking in the mountains when a carload of cheerleaders stopped and asked if I needed a ride...

I wasn't supposed to tell this, but......LBT is only slow for the uncool people. Sorry. I like tall chicks. Preferably with big boobs. Can you set a brotha up?? Shhhhhh, don't tell my wife....

Sad. I figured Condit had something to do with it.

Confession: I don't really like it when guys hit on me.

Well, I hate to be a party pooper, but technically, she's still innocent until the jury's verdict. It's used in industrial cleaning That makes a lot of sense about the grandparents' behavior....latent guilt that they may have contributed to the girl's death by trying to make their daughter be responsible...Man, that'd be rough...

I like Palin ok. I think the repubs went ape for her because she espoused conservative values....something McCain didn't really have going for him (what with the aforementioned liberal immigration policies and such). I still think it's funny that feminists crucified Palin after griping that Hiliary was treated in a sexist manner. Probably no republican would have won....simply because of the effective democrat slogan of "voting for x is like 4 more years of Bush"....but everybody's gotta admit that McCain didn't try very hard. If the election had been a boxing match, I'd have accused McCain of taking a dive. I was a Mitt Romney man, myself. He was much more conservative than McCain, and was much more economy-saavy. I think Romney's Mormonism ended up beating him, which is unfortunate.

You are even more in touch with your inner anchorman....and for that, ma'am, I salute you.
