You are amazing Dawg!! You are piggy-backing your lovely wife and losing wonderfully. That shows some great strength and support of Susan on your part. Kudos to you. The Walmart was only a joke. I know how pricey that place can be Trust me women's sizes get pretty confusing also...but they are sized differently. Continued good luck on your journey. Dody

Are you drinking lots of Water Michelle? I sure hope so, as I'm sure it will help change the color of that pee Soup colored pee. As for the Vicodin I've been on it since I hurt my knee and it not only doesn't even help the knee pain it sure has no affect on my dreaming, but then I always dream strange dreams. I'm always somewhere back in my married life when my husband, mom and dad were alive (happy times) and almost inevitably dream of them. I like it though...it feels like they come to me in my dreams and that is soothing. If you are having a bad response to Vicodin maybe they could switch you to Darvocet. It's not as strong but it doesn't cause bad dreams that I know of...of course everyone is different. Unfortunately I have no idea if Darvocet comes in any liquid form. Maybe the idea of liquid Tylenol is a good one. I wish you oh so much luck with your banding. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and will add getting rid of the "green pee" to it... Dody

Besides being my bra size the other DD in my life won't help you a bit. As an avid horse racing fan and owner DD stands for Daily Double at all times in my life. I do, however, have a very devoted daughter. Dody

I'm on hold right now for banding for other medical reasons, but I have 8 beautiful grandchildren. I would love to be around many more years to enjoy them. Unfortunately, I'm sidelined for awhile, but the band is in my future. I hope you are being banded here in the states even if it means jumping through a lot of hoops. My problems were found here, and I don't think if I had gone out of country they would have been discovered. I think out of country is fine for the younger ones, but I think anyone older should have everything available to them in the way of testing. By he way I was married twice myself. The first ended in divorce after 16 years of his being an alcoholic. I couldn't stick around anymore and he died at an early age from cirrhosis of the liver. I married my soul mate the second time around and had 18 wonderful years with him before he died in a motor vehicle accident. There isn't a day I don't miss him. I wish you the best of luck and God Speed. Dody

Come out, come out wherever you are. You are truly missed. Dody

Someone jumped on her in the "gripes forum" and she said she was leaving. I hope she didn't mean definitely. I miss seeing her also. Dody

Congrats to a fellow Idahoan....you have done a great job losing that much weight. Dody

I hate no one, absolutely no one. I just simply have no respect for some people. That is not the same thing. You just keep bringing the same thing up on this thread over and over. It is gone and deleted. I thank you for the well wishes, but this subject was dropped by me in another thread, in which you continued to feed on it. I think enough has been said. I don't hate you or anyone else in this world...the word is not even in my vocabulary. I may not like what someone does, but HATE is a very strong word. Like I said it is about respect and nothing to do with hatred. I'm much too much of a Christian to hate anyone. I just want to let this go..........the thread is deleted. My friend is doing well after the attack, and I'm OK with it now. Please...if just let it go and you too enjoy your day. I thank you for the good wishes. I hope we can get past this. Dody

I think you've just been told to stay out of Walmart Sorry, couldn't resist that one. You should be wearing Silver Tab or something from Macy's you know with a huge price tag on it. That way I guess you get the size you want. Maybe...well maybe they were marked wrong... Sending good wishes your way. Dody

Hope you can say the same Elizabeth. If you don't like what you read on the gripe thread please feel free not to read it. I will take my friends' parts all of the time. I wouldn't want to count on you for sure....hope I never have to. As for the light being on...DUH Alexandra was posting almost all day. Enough said. When the hell are you going to let this go Elizabeth, or are you a drama queen too that wants to continue to beat a dead horse? Let it go already. It has finally been deleted.....Gone....Finished. My opinion of the moderation of it stands. Why should anyone else care, the post wasn't a blatant attack on one of their friends. Give it a friggin rest. I'm not responding to you anymore Elizabeth. Another drama queen I don't need. You are enjoying carrying this on far too much.

I have a fairly new home with gorgeous beige carpeting. No One but no one comes into my home with their shoes on....even the plumber has little thingies he puts over his shoes. It is nothing but common courtesy and I was raised that way. Call me compulsive, but shoes are dirty....my carpet is not and I intend for it to remain so. I know people that have signs in their front windows asking for you to remove your shoes...kudos to them. I respect that entirely. Perhaps it depends on how compulsive you are about your carpeting and your home...I admit to being overly compulsive....Shoes Off or we visit in the garage and you probably won't come back Dody

You are entitled to your opinion Elizabeth and I to mine. Subject is Closed.

those are great pics....at 64 I'm not too old to appreciate a good looking man. You are gorgeous also

My opinion is just that...my opinion. I noticed moderators signed on, so I guess I wrongfully assumed they were online There were posts by moderators all day yesterday...shame on me for thinking they were here and knew about the situation.

Your support has meant a lot to me. The band is on hold, but never far from my mind. I have to see a vascular surgeon this week and have an MRI of my knee....it looks like there could be two surgeries before banding. I'm even more concerned because I will be on Plavix (a strong blood thinner) for quite awhile and to have the lap-banding you have to be off even aspirin for a week. My dr. thinks depending on what they decide to do...either clean out the arteries or stent them it could be up to six weeks before I could go off the Plavix for a week. I'm really confused to say the least, but I'm not giving up and thankful they found this in time. Having the surgery could have caused a major stroke, so I thank God I found out in time. It makes me wonder about older people going out of country without these extensive tests...and I send out a prayer for them. It could have been the Kiss Of Death if I had done that. I'm glad I jumped through all the hoops before the surgery took place, so please don't ever get discouraged by the number of tests your American dr. puts you through. There is most definitely a reason. Thank you again to all you wonderful friends on here. God Bless, Dody

I guess I was over-reacting to the whole situation. My gripe is mostly with the moderators who let the post remain all day. I have not changed my mine that they could have deleted the post early in the day. When Alexandra stated "we were out living our lives", my thoughts were it would have taken but one minute to decide the post was totally inappropriate and very cruel. I am as angry at the moderators as I am at the person who made one of the most malicious posts I've ever seen on here. Alex should have enough trust in the moderators to let one of them delete it when it is that offensive. Kudos to Susan for not retalliating. I think it hit me harder than anyone because Susan has never been anything but supportive and friendly to me and newbies who arrive on the board. Susan I am proud to call you friend. I simply think this should have been deleted sooner and without my having to complain to Alex (the board owner about it). Someone was kind enough to PM me his info. I still say shame on the moderators that allowed this to remain an entire day, and no I certainly don't feel they did the best job by any means in this situation. I had a serious go-round with someone on here and was told to delete my posts. The person who attacked me didn't delete their posts...so please don't even tell me favoritism is not alive and well on this board. This is just my opinion and certainly not a reflection of other people's thoughts. If you want to think LBT is one happy place, please feel free to do so, but I feel some get away with a lot and others basically get called on the carpet far more. These very offensive posts have gone on for some time now, and still this person is posting on here. I shudder to think how many warnings have to be given before the rules are enforced and they are banned. I don't intend to cross any lines here, but I for one am ashamed of the way this post was handled. I am on east coast time and was on this post and complaining early in the morning hoping it would be gone before Susan saw it. These things have to hurt and the moderators know that...or is the drama a bit of enjoyment and locking the threads a form of pleasure where someone cannot retaliate? A similar situation occurred about a week ago and Susan started her own thread to apologize for something...this got locked also. How unfair is this????? Why does one of the moderators have an ad on the bottom of their post that is exactly like DeLarla's? Are they buddies? I have to ask myself is this part of the reason she gets away with the things she does? If I'm jumping to conclusions please excuse me. Someone was kind enough to place a bug in my ear about the ads being the same...and lo and behold they are. Probably just conincidence but enough to make you wonder about hideous posts remaining. Oh, Oh, is this thread going to be locked too? That seems to happen when a moderator doesn't like being called on the carpet.

If that statement was directed towards me because I tried all day to get an offensive statement removed from here, then so be it. I can stand any heat you can throw at me, but I won't see my friends run down like was done on the "I'm Guilty" (finally deleted thread). Perhaps you should have read it. It would have taken one minute out of someone's life to see it was totally inappropriate yet it was left all day...plenty of time for PhotoNut to see it. Do I think the moderators could have done something in the early morning...you can bet your ass I do, and I said just that. If you have a problem with that feel free to spit it out.

So glad they are finally gone. Me...I'm out of here.

You have had all day. It seems to me the damage has been done by allowing PhotoNut to have to read the ramblings of a psychopath. Perhaps Alex will do something about it. I'm tired of threads simply being closed and the obnoxious behavior allowed to remain on here. You knew PhotoNut would be hurt by this Alexandra. I can't believe you couldn't contact some other moderator and delete this thread long before now. Shame on all of you. I think perhaps Alex should have enough faith if he chose you for moderators to allow one of you to decide an obnoxious thread should be deleted. It appears you have been discussing this "I'm Guilty" thread with someone, and still nothing has been done. Why should it even be up for discussion that it should be deleted and the person who wrote it banned....of course she would come back as DeNutCase or something else. It is oh so easy to change an IP number if you know anything about computers....but her style of rambling is easy to pick up on.

You are so right about it being Memorial Day weekend, but apparently DeLarla took this Sunday to attack PhotoNut once more in her "I'm Guilty" thread which still remains. If you want this to stop perhaps Alex should get involved in allowing the moderators to let her keep posting this crap.

This thread is the psychotic ramblings of one individual against PhotoNut. Why wasn't it deleted instead of closed Alexandra. Only one person replied before you closed it, but you allowed it to remain, which makes me think in some way you are enjoying someone else's misery. I feel if someone attacked the moderators with horrible language and insulted you it would immediately be deleted. It is time to take some action. I have contacted Alex and complained about the "I'm Guilty" Thread. PhotoNut is a friend of mine and a very supportive person. She should not have been allowed to read that horrible post and have her feelings hurt...still you left it there....but NOBODY plays favorites right???? I have contacted Alex. Perhaps he will see things in a different light.

Not sure who got my complaint about the thread they posted about you PhotoNut. I just sent it in by clicking on the triangle. I don't know how to get ahold of Alex personally or I most definitely would. This is supposed to be a forum for support and encouragement, which is why I joined in the first place. I hope everything returns quickly to where it belongs. I've always found you to be kind to new people. You were one of the first to greet me when I joined and have been a great source of inspiration. I heard from 3 Loves. She is doing fine and her surgery went well. Thank God. I hope to see sanity back on this board and hurtful things deleted. I hate to see someone singled out and attacked.
