  1. I guess wireless has more than one meaning these days! The underwire ones went along time ago, hurt my port. Does this mean I'm wyfi now? (wires.... your free indeed)
  2. Sorry dudes, k, The bra has a knot front and center and the whole bra looks like a bow and grundies are what guys call underwear. Grundies in a bundle is a reference to getting up tight, or bothered or picking up a grumpy attitude, irritated in some way. I kind of picture someone picking up their underwear and waddling them into a ball to throw at something! Or Someone!!
  3. Daily Light, Bagster/Lotz, it was out of print and Ann Grahm Lotz revised it. French Women Don't Get Fat, Guiliano, and I have The Makers Diet in que, in fact Its still in my car! All time favorite in perpetual reread mode The Bible, in The Revelation AGAIN!! Oh Marinantha~!
  4. WHEW!!! Mini me Im dandcing.. uh huh.. go baby ,, uh huh .
  5. We can add this thread to the one that appeared earlier, the Well done one, Its so amazing to me that there is such a loyal group of moderators and for Alex who runs this as well (or should I say hosts) Yall are amazing!
  6. I was sorting through Bras. Frustrated at the new 38 long size. I thought this really puts my grundies in a bundle feeling as these things are not cheep!! Why do men have less expensive undies anyway? So I looked at one of my old faves and thought, I wish that there were 3 inches taken right out of the center of this thing. well I tied a knot into the center and sort of pondered. then I put the darn thing on and I am not kidding you. It fit really nice!!!! Ive spent 3 weeks trying to find a comfy fitting one and haven't found a thing. Now I am telling you the TRUTH!! It fit and I wore it all day and I just cant believe it myself and it looks sort of like a bow style swimsuit top!! Who would have guessed. I know I'm strange an cheep, but I think Ill try this on a few more of my undies!:guess :confused: :omg:
  7. Dear heart, when you said it was about a half a inch, with wet yellow center, this can be staff infection. and it grew so fast. Go to the ER. and Please get it looked at by a DR. Just earlier this year, my DH had a sore elbow. No bruise, one day later the Dr gave antibiotics, 2days later high fever and larger bump, 3 days later and ER, Lanced, drained, iv antibiotics. 4 days later, surgery to remove his Bursa's and about a 2 1/2 inch incision that had to be repacked daily for 3 months to heal from the inside out. He was in isolation for 10 days, IVs and very close monitoring of his temperature. They cultured it and found it to be a particular staff infection. Never a cut or poke to break the skin on his elbow, It just appeared deep inside. Do not mess around with this. There are some very virulent flesh eating bacteria. no joke, I'm not trying to terrify you, honest but please, please, get this looked at ASAP!
  8. I'm sorry for the way I cut our earlier, my laptop crashed bad!!! But for your little sweetie, I'm praying that this will all fade from her memory and the only memory from this will be that something happened and my mom and dad took real good care of me. Bless her heart, so precious to articulate all the info, he scooted away, and he had ears and all. So observant and attention to all those details!! You have a very smart baby there!! Bless you too, hope you aren't too shaken, Its like a mom to be fully in charge and then when all the danger has passed, thats when mommies fall apart! Were here for you if that should happen too OK? Hope to hear soon!!
  9. I bet you have alrealdy gone to the ER. I hope you can disassociate these shots from what happened with the "birdie". It would be sad if she became terrified of birds that happen to flly around her. Perhaps you can say that Its always a good idea to get a physical check up when you turn a certain age as a matter of good health or something like that. and This time it turned out to be her turn to get another vaccination or something like that. You know your daughter best. Some children are better off with a matter of fact, you have a suspicious cut and the bird may have caused it so we are going to check it out. Others need more creatilve explanations. OH oH my liptop is spazzing
  10. Hi ho Stesti. I used to nanny for baby girl named Stephanie, and a bigger boy that couldnt say her name and he allwys called her Stesti. He always said good morning sunshine! I loved those two. She was a doll!! Happy days aboard!
  11. Funny, This isn't funny!! This sounds so serious... Please insist that they admit you for IV, antibiotics!!! How can you get those things down your swollen throat! I think that strep is one of those bugs that can eventually hurt other organs. How can they not admit you??? Ill keep you in my prayers. God bless you and your family~!
  12. Call the Dr. Dint mess with any guesses. You are too important for that.
  13. Agape brother, Agape!

    My friend had the eyeliner, and lipliner done. The artist was very good and the lines were great but the lipliner began to spread and the lines color changed over time and the color was too purple on the lips. The eyes were great all the time. Her lips had the problems. She pretended to not have a problem with it but no matter what, she would wear lipstick to cover the purple. I felt bad for her. She had it done when colors were very bright and vivid for the lips, not like now where the fashion colors are more basic tones. I think I would just do the eyes.
  15. When I was preggers, I had the most wild dreams of all times. One of them was that I could open my tummy and look at the baby and check out his progress and make sure he was growing OK. I could touch him and give him my love and all but he just couldn't come all the way out yet. OBTW, I dream in vivid colors and sometimes the colors are not correct, but absurd, thats a signal that a bad dream is coming so I can wake up. I don't like that, I want to see what the dream is but MY brain just doesn't want to see incorrect color and I wake up. I only know that they lead to bad dreams as when I am sick with a fever or dosed with meds of some kind and don't easily awaken, the dreams turn ugly.(story line I mean). I thought everyone dreamed in color, till I told my sis about the wrong color thing and she thought I was nuts. She said no one dreams in color, but I sure do. Does anyone else dream in color? Or am I just strange like that?
  16. Funnyduddies, Are you OK? I hope you are, I was hoping that you didn't have serum sickness. I had it once and I was caused by an antibiotic that I became allergic to. It makes you feel like you were hit by a truck and when you described that the body ached from top to bottom, that sounded a little too familiar. i also shook like crazy and my head felt like it was going to explode. I do hope you are better.
  17. Dear piercedqt78, any news about little baby John? I pray for every breath to be a breath of Jesus. Please let us know OK?
  18. Sorry to hear about getting a Little lost, I'm also sorry about the nausea, it does sound like post op stuff. Medicine on your tummy might be too rough without food to help move things along abit. God bless your hubby, sounds so sweet. I love my DH, he waited for me in the hosp too. While I slept, he just sat in the chair in my room! It is nice to be home though isn't it. Now your journey begins, and you will have your own experiences. We all have the same destination sort of but we have different road maps. Best wishes on you recovery, and remember to drink water! sip, sip, sip.
  19. I do believe that we were trolled upon. Its way to evident. Wheres those 3 billy goats gruff when you need them. There never around, maybe they were taking a donut break!!!
  20. Fleet helps in a bind, No pun intended. (its a store bought enema, they make glycerin suppositories too). Its not healthy to strain, so I have recommended this before. No need to add hemorrhoids to the mix.
  21. Thank you for these ideas. I was doing so well, then I sort of brain died off. I really didn't have any fight for one reason or another. I usually have a little weight loss spur me back into life, this time, a 10 lb gain really socked me in. I like hearing about all the various coping skills, If I was good at creating them, I wouldn't have gained in the first place right? I need to get back on the exercise wagon too to get my metabolism going again. I think I will check out some of the fresh fruit things. I have been throwing out a lot of fruit lately, a bad sign that my whole family is going by the way side too. I thought I would be into more fruit freezies by now, but we have had a ton of cold and wet rain, snuggle weather. A fruit freezie doesn't sound as good as a mocha, sad. I have a new found understanding of turtles and of course for Vines as she deals with her health issues. Love ya Vines!
  22. When you get the head hunger, even when it could be driven by partial body hunger, how do you keep from reaching for the wrong stuff? Do you just not buy it hand have it around the house? Or I heard one gal say that when she wants something sweet, she eats a piece of fruit first then afterwords, if she still wants it she will then have it but most of the time the head hunger passed. I need better coping mechanisms as having a family around it seems that there is always a "way" to find something inappropriate to eat. So who wants to go first? I don't seem to be doing very well about this right now. I was taken off several Rx's and Mr Dr. said I would probably gain about 10 lbs just because of the rebound from this and it of course came to pass. I am having a hard time staying motivated:paranoid :help:
  23. sorry, I went to answer the phone and then hit enter, Didn't see the previous answer!~!!
  24. If you know how to do the search on this forum, check out those 2 words, then to get the quickie,Pb means productive burp, you eat to much, so you tip over and pour it out. and Sliming, when you really overdo it and your tummy hurts, it starts to produce slime to get things to slide down, however once it starts, it takes a while before it calms down.
  25. What do they expect you to play for then? No prize money? Why Play? This isnt play anyway Its work and so is loosing weight w/out the band. You should be able to win the money. Are you going to get some other prize like a spa treatment or what?
