I do numbers for a living and always do that! <pinkie> $105.5 mil-lee-ohn dollars

Aww man, don't tell me that! Are you getting in enough protein?

Oh noooooo; I've created a monster!!! :biggrin:

AWESOME! tyvm! :biggrin:

Hello, long ago, I copped to being a proud nerd, tyvm!!! I need an emoticon that flips you off....Ima look now. :cool2: This is as close as I could find. There are 6 bananas having sex but none flipping someone off. Boo!

I'm not Miss Smartie; I've failed trying it more than I have succeeded. Click multiquote on 2 posts and then quote. I think that's what I did!

I love ice cream; I've been addicted for a couple years now. I think I'm going to have to tell myself that it'll cause slippage!!!

punctuation schmunctuation; only bible-thumping, right-wingers use punctuation! ha! wait - i have a grammar thread on LBT and am a centrist liberal; hmm.

GASP - you're saying that something's better than LBT? That's blasphemous. Aww thanks! Oh folks will see my before pics eventually!

LOL!!!!!!! Whew I needed that laugh....

Chiiiiillleeeee, I thought you had really built that website. I was gonna bust on you for agessssss. OK so you're a "no" on posting a new weird thread. How about putting together some thoughts for me on my upcoming surgery during your boredom?!? :cool2:

OH; how could you?!? Sheesh, when you have these crazy thoughts, PM one of us or start a new crazy thread! Hellooooooo

GO LADIES GO! Y'all don't even wanna know what I've been eating knowing that I get banded in a couple weeks. :cool2:

Whaaaaattttt? :cool2:

And honey, you know Oprah would have it on and would've invested in it!!! :cool2:

Green, that's my kind of telling folks off - through big words and condescension! :cool2: Pleeeease, Kat, for your LBT'ers, please make sure to look down your nose at them as you condescend!

Wouldn't you like like to tell your 16-year old self that you would've ever posted "I can't wait until my bowel prep tomorrow" on a public website? I just now realized that you're in C'ville. I went to HS in Hoptown.

Ha! You're down to an hour countdown!!!

LJM - all this time, I thought that you had lost a child. Not that losing a "bestest dog" is easy; just saying. I never had the nerve to ask. My former neighbors have a great dane. I was pulling weeds when I first moved in and he came galloping at me - startled the hell out of me! (And I say gallop b/c he was as big as a horse and had a kind of 'aww shucks' way about the way he ran.) He was in no way rushing me aggressively; it was just the 'holy cow, he's huge' thought that went through my mind! (And that his head was above the chain link fence!) He was a pretty brindle thing tho!

What a lovely post, Jack! I can't wait to be banded! :-D Everytime I see your avatar, I think "arrggggg, matey"

incredulous - I so love big words :wink_smile: I definitely need to go shopping. I found a list online but despise shopping so much that I haven't gone yet. Oh well. I'm still trying to figure out which of the Protein drinks to try. :teeth_smile: I too am going to have a Realize band and my doc waits until 6 weeks out for a fill too. (like... omg, haha) I just realized that 6 weeks exactly out for me will be Thanksgiving day. :redface: Oh the irony... PS - loved "high functioning moron" - unfortunately, it seems like there are plenty on both sides. :biggrin:

April - you're about as far away from surgery as I have until my surgery. Have any thoughts you'd like to share? Anything you would do the same and/or differently? Thx!

BBK - with all the crap you've gone through in the last month, you really do have to give yourself a break, gf. No hating oneself allowed. :teeth_smile:

I keep continuing to forget to watch SNL; I am so pissed! I saw Fey's depiction the first week on youtube; it was hilarious! She got the accent spot on! Yes re: Poppa Bush. Supposedly bin Laden sent him a note wanting to meet and he blew him off (understandably). Supposedly that begun the hatred. I can't imagine wanting to run for President these days. There's way too crap they have to put up with. There are definitely things I agree with McCain on and things I disagree on with Obama but I agree more with Obama. I was just on selectsmart.com. I hadn't realized that McCain was for gay marriage or a civil union as much as he been against. Also, didn't know that Obama was against gay marriage but for something civil (for him to supposedly be soooo leftish.) Interesting.

Funny! Glad you took it as meant, Aprilapple!! Here's an interesting story from AOL entitled "Palin Interviews Spark GOP Concerns" that I thought you might like reading. Palin Interviews Spark GOP Concerns
