  1. Where in Georgia are you?
  2. Pls that scum isn't worth getting TJM over or spending time being Big Bertha's bitch in the joint! I do, however, hope there's a special ring in hell for him! (Goethe) Donna-Plain doesn't have contempt; he's just skeered of va-jay-jays!!!
  3. He needs what my my father calls a "f*&k you; strong letter to follow" email!!! BA!!! twice I'm with Lulu on this one.
  4. Or "Shi-Thead"! So Plain - saw the stalker today. I really do get way too much enjoyment/satisfaction out of ignoring him!!!!!
  5. Fanny - so exciting! I'm gonna be the downer and say just be careful with your finances but enjoy that cutie patootie!!! M'dear, She - what in the world have you been doing to those poor computers?!? In addition to the too tight band, I fricken rear-ended a car Monday on my way to work! It was nothing in the whole sense of things but it pissed me off nonetheless. I'm ready for February! I heard about her this morning! I cannot imagine! They don't want their names released. They thought she was carrying 7 and there was an extra surprise. Gah! 6 boys, 2 girls I ate 3 XL pizzas after my unfill Friday. Duh! Dangit y'all take out all the fun. I was hoping there'd be a pill for it! Hysterical!!! Go get her! Aww man, that sucks! I hope it's an easy fix. :thumbup: Right? Methinks HE needs to have his ass kicked by the JUDGE!!! Has he lost his job or something?? Presuming not, I wish the judges would say, "yanno, I've already ruled on this. Just b/c you've pissed me off, you owe another 10%!!"
  6. Fanny - BAH!!! And welcome back, missy
  7. Oh believe me....my doctor's crystal clear that I wasn't happy!!! Plus I now know to stop listening to him vs. what I "know" in my head!
  8. Plain - when I had the smoothie, I hadn't eaten anything in 29 hours and had thrown up 7-8x in 12 hours. I was proud that it wasn't Dairy Queen so shut it!!! :thumbup:
  9. Green - way to hold your own against PG! I've made it through 15 pages of the prostitution thread and it just reminds me too much of the political threads that just wore me out. I was shocked that one person <GL> on the first page was OK with the legalization! Does anyone watch "Diet Tribe"? I just found it On Demand. Man o man Shawna is negative, whew. The trainer sure is cute tho!
  10. PS - glad you liked the pregnancy flair, LJM!!! :w00t:
  11. HYSTERICAL!!! Hopefully they/she was so mortified that they won't do that again. I didn't think "wife" tho; I thought "mistress"! Perhaps you all should put a "no trespassing" sign up! :w00t: That's awesome and pitiful all rolled together!
  12. Ohhhh, I read that as the word "add"!
  13. Dangit with all my drama, I plum forgot to say that even tho I was too tight, I did still order 3-XL pizzas to dip into chocolate sauce! (Plus a 12-pack of Mountain Dew!) :thumbdown:
  14. Oh, Tap, just 'fess up - $250 was for coffee! Lulu-I'm such a wussy - my stomach muscles are SO sore today! What add? Update it!!! That's awesome!!! Tap-are you being a smart ass? :thumbdown: LJM - just watched Leverage. Sully would've landed it in the water!
  15. Thanks!! I just woke up after a major 4-hour nap and feel GREAT! It's amazing how much better I sleep when I'm not up hurling! I didn't pay; insurance did so today I also told them today that they weren't going to charge my insurance company again...got my way with that one too. Snap! Hopefully this is my last session as a human pin cushion for a while. :scared2: Thanks again for the advice and caring everyone.
  16. Thank you for the post, Kat! See, that's what I thought! I really like my doc but I thought, um it's OK for you to want me tighter b/c I may not be losing as quickly as he'd like (tho he hasn't said that). But I don't like the thought of sitting down to a meal and wondering if it's going to come back up (esp when I'm in public)! He also said that sometime one can have swelling (like when one hits one's thumb and it'll be swollen the next day). Of course having been throwing up for 12 hours, I didn't really want to hear it! But I didn't flick him on the forehead so I was proud. But I did feel good b/c I stood up for myself. Yesterday, I kind of just took whatever he said because he's the doctor and he should know. I sent Lulu an email telling her that he'd given me more fill instead of an unfill. She asked me how I felt about that and it kind of stopped me b/c I thought, "that isn't what I wanted"!!! Last night was NOT fun. I had so much gurgling, hiccuping, burping, and of course PB'ing. It hurt to lie down and I love to sleep!!! PS - the smoothie was good stuff! I got a Slim N Trim (?) with 3 kinds of protein. It wasn't a full fat milkshake but I thought a good substitute since I would have some protein! Oh and Lulu - I also got my "new" Blackberry! So now I have a functioning camera again, dangit!
  17. So my night.....I started throwing up at 11:30pm and continued until 11:30am. I called the doctor's office. When they called me back, they said to get to the hospital "because I might be too tight." Uh yeah, ya think? He added 1.5 cc's yesterday so I told him to take out 2 cc's today. He said, "I took out 2 cc's even though that's going backwards." Uh I have eaten very little solid protein since Dec 30...am I really that concerned about being .5 cc's "looser"? Um NO. I hadn't eaten since bkfst yesterday so I stopped and got a Smoothie King. I'm going slowly but I'm hoping it takes away the hunger and freezes my stomach! SWEET!!! I've seen season 1 of Dexter; it's SO good. It's really well-writen IMO. I need to rent season 2. Can you ask/tell your doctor to induce on Jan 25? That's my cousin's bday! Tho I have another cousin born on Jan 23 too! Get him on there so i can stalk him; buwahahaha!
  18. Respond with "farting" or "playing darts"!!!
  19. Booya, Plain! Don't be petrified of it - it's not like you'll be "drunk" on it and have to drive (serious, not smart ass). You can test it out all while in bed! Then you'll know in the future if you can tolerate it! From what I've heard, it's not unbelievably strong. Thanks so much; I'll look into it!
  20. Shut up - I'm actually serious.
  21. No, I'm just wondering what I'm supposed to consist on...
  22. Have you had any steroid shots for lung development??
  23. Amen! As I was watching the parade, I got nervous when the Obamas got out of the car. I would yell, "Get back in the car!!"
  24. That's awesome!!! :thumbup: true! yesterday 2 women at work who are casual acquaintances (read: don't know about the band) noticed that i'd lost weight! :biggrin: it seems like you've been in the hospital forever! little bit needs to quit being so impatient!!! OK my fill story for today....did I get an unfill like we all thought? NOPE! He put more in! He said that when he watched the barium go down, it wasn't refluxing as it went down. So I'm not chewing enough he says. Just now, I took a decent sip of Water and, yeah, that was too much. Interesting! PS - Ocean Spray's SF Ruby Red is awesome!
  25. Right? Then IMO he can send the entire Congress home and let us start over!
