  1. I only LOOK like I ate a pumpkin!
  2. WOOHOO - GREAT JOB!!! Hopefully by this time next year, you can be telling me that! :-) Happy 4th - I heart the USA!!!
  3. Pull a Dear Abby and say, "now why would you say something so awful"? I have one tucked away if I ever need it: "I'm trying to think of how it might feel if I gave a shit about your opinion"!! :thumbup: <Editing> Plain, I bow to your much superior diss. That was a great one! ^5 Happy 4th - I heart the USA!!!
  4. Forgot to add: I hate fish, fresh spinach is good I hate men who give "mixed signals." 0:-)
  5. OMG it's official - I have no life! I just read this entire thread. <panting, whew> Now I get to post just to be posting - yippee!!! Happy 4th - I heart the USA!!! Susan, btw - gator tail sounds beyond disgusting! :-/
  6. bless her heart - how mortifying!
  7. Goes to show how backwards our society is. I would bet that throughout those players' lives, they were lauded for their basketball abilities over their education. When Peyton Manning went pro, he sounded like he had marbles in his mouth. Someone obviously did some kind of work with him so that he would sound better!! I'm white and it drives me crazy when I hear corporate co-workers saying "shoulda went". Come on, it's "should have gone"!!!!!!! Now totally off the point is the Weather Channel. Distance is "farther" - Australia is farther away from the US than Europe! You also don't "continue on" - that's redundant! I hear "Let's continue on I-95....blah blah." GRR Sorry, jumping off soapbox! :thumbup:

    Thank goodness I only read these posts at home. I just screamed with laughter!!! I thought only I was a wussy; whew, that was hysterical.
  9. Libra - if I do my math correctly, we have very similar stats (except I'm pre-banded right now). I am currently a 42DD and seeing the "36D" reminds me of grad school! I'm getting more and more excited about the surgery. I hadn't even gotten to the point in my head where I'm wearing a VS 36D. Woohoo! :thumbup:
  10. Ditto ditto ditto, unfortunately. I maintained a size 14 until I got on anti-depressants and now am a 28. :thumbup: Really really sux.
  11. Amen! Again, in Atlanta, we have all kinds of accents!!! We have not only different regions in the US but also from all over the world...very interesting. Tho I agree with Ready - I too try to not speak too southern in order to be taken more seriously. Busting on southerners and fat people are the last 2 OK ways to discriminate.
  12. Very interesting; thanks for the info! I'm sure you're now wishing you had DS tho, huh?!? You could clear malls, stores, movie theaters, etc. Poor you!
  13. Why ty, tyvm! <bowing> I envision the FedEx tyvex envelopes holding a big o'green one! Maybe I'd be nice and UPS two-day some charcoal for the office the next day. Yea, I'm a giver!
  14. Who knew! I live in the Atlanta area and don't hear what I call "drippy southern" accents around here but then again, Atlanta has many "yankees"!!! (BTW I am southern and use both terms with tongue in cheek so don't yell at me!)
  15. Aww damn - I so could've used a DS a couple months ago when I uh got caught going um 78 in a 55! O'course I'm pre-banded so I could always change my mind! I'm always saying i wanna lose weight to get laid again before I die - I'm thinking charcoal suppositories (sp) would really get the good menzzz! After having had 2 telemarketer calls back-to-back, I'd like to get a DS to fart into an envelope and send. I'm sure it would stay rank through a mailing!
  16. I am 300 and still do mine. I sit on the couch and rest my foot on the coffee table. I can angle it enough to get all 5 piggies. Even when I was "regular" sized, I never could touch my toes while standing! Conversely, I could do a mean splits...always! Sorry for the TMI but I want to be able to easily wipe my bee-hind!
  17. Amen, gf! Better to go off on her on this site to strangers than to her face!
  18. As I live and breathe, I just saw a commercial on CBS for "charcoal caps"!!!!!!! I just howled....
  19. EWW, bad Froggi!!! tyvm for the sleeve explanation, Ms. Wasa. Is that instead of a band or in addition to?
  20. EWWWWWWW - THAT IS DISGUSTING! I would be absolutely beyond mortified. I didn't even try Alli b/c one might have leakage. Burning off a surgeon's eyebrows is not my idea of ladylike! Y'all are killing me! This thread is just hysterical. PS - I have GOT to stop responding within the first couple of pages of an 18-page thread. I always look so "behind". Sorry, couldn't help myself *poot*. I still like the idea of powering buildings from DS methanol...
  21. Lipstick lesbians!!! Today's news is that Rosie and her honey have or are breaking up. I'm straight but think Rosie is damn lucky to have a gf as pretty as Kelly. I can't imagine dealing with Rosie's drama. Oy!
  22. HYSTERICAL! I too am southern but think Paula's adorable (sorry). But I also don't want any cooking shows so I've only seen Paula in small doses. re: RR - God love her, she grates my nerves. She is definitely overly exposed and her magazine is awful. I don't wish her ill; just let me miss her for a sec, sheesh!!
  23. ReadySG - I feel for you. I briefly had a friend who was this side of anorexic and whined about 5 pounds. I found it very insulting and insensitive until a mutual friend explained to me that her thoughts etc were singularly about her. In her mind, my weight issue was completely irrespective of her her her body image. She was/is also incredibly mentally unstable but I digress. If she has been your friend since kindergarten, I would just sit her down and explain to her how her comments make you feel. As psychs explain, begin with "I feel" and not "you do this or that." Then the person feels less like you are attacking. (I could stand to remember these words myself!) Good luck! :-)
  24. That's me!!! Thus the band
