To all the LB'ers going to be LV'ers-- I know you all will have a wonderful, wonderful time! Some of us are not going--in case we need to be availabe to come out and post bail. Live it up and Laugh a lot! Judy

I AM fostering a new puppy! This one is a real one--male chihuahua about 1 year. I named him Migo (Mee-go), short for Amigo. Also, "me goes here, me goes there;" he is not neutered and does the sprinkle thing. I have him wearing 1/2 a sanitary pad inside of a bandana and tied around the offending part. haha Speaking of puppies, I have lost interest in my other "puppy" and the next time he calls, I will have him "euthanized." The attention was fun; and then it wasn't. OK, honest talk about Plastic surgery--if y'all had the time (retirement) to get things done and healed and had the disposable money so it did not affect how you lived or saved---YOU WOULD DO IT TOO!! haha Undergarments work--but then, I don't have to wear any! nah-nah-nah-nah-nah OK--here is a proposition that I would like to make. I believe that what you think about, what you talk about, COMES about. So, I am asking Janet to pick out ONE day soon, and there will be NO complaints of any kind on this board! It might make us see how we lean that way. Be positive! Be grateful! Share the blessings--and we do have them. For example, our friends right here. One day! Janet, what do you think.....?

Barney--I had my arms lifted and since I was going to be under, I decided to have a boob lift and a small implant--same size bra, but fuller and cleavage! Watch out! No one sees; I did it for me!

Laura, I remember my sister taking first day of school pictures of my nephew. He is now 28 and just got married. Enjoy! These are the milestones of a mother's life! And remember, unlike when he goes off to college---Nels WILL come home today! Your first after-school discussion and snack will be fun. Make sure you tell us the cute things he says! judy

The dinner was good! I have now had chicken parmigiana (sp) for three nights. One lady did not show--she forgot! I am okay with that (we're human), but when someone called her and told her--she never called me to apologize for not showing--now, in my book, that is just rude! I will see her on Tues when we go to pick up our scripts. Wonder if she will apologize then. I will see my "puppy" tomorrow night. I had a lot of fun with him last week. He is sweet, but he is just too young for me. (don't ask!) But I will have fun in the meantime.... How can I lose another 20 by tomorrow night?

My doc says, don't worry about breakfast--if you're not hungry, don't eat. My house is clean--everyone come over now! Actually, I am having 3 ladies that I act with over for dinner....I am making Italian--chicken parm, caesar salad, spaghetti, garlic bread, mozarella sticks with marinara sauce---think I have enough carbs?? ACK!!! Tomorrow may be a Protein Drink day. For those who work--TGIF!!

Linda--I just spoke to the friend with the Three Legged Poodle--which, by the way, is the name of her store. Her poodle had her leg removed at age 8 and went on to live a long and full life (she died this winter...) My friend said that if there were other health problems, don't put your dog through it, BUT if she is otherwise fine, go for it. Your pup will adjust and do fine (WE'RE the ones with the problems!) My friend has rescued many and dog and cat and knows what she's talking about! Hope everyone is staying cool--Florida's humidity is oppressive! ox

Back from the wedding--lovely! My nephew will be 28 next week and he is still, to me, "such a good boy." I will say that when he is 58! (please God that I am here to see it!) Eva, tell DH that I hope his shingles go away soon. As soon as I am 60, I am getting the shot. I don't care how much it costs! My mom had it at age 80 and it lasted a long time (a year). Good to see Apples back--PLEASE take care. I am hoping that your life is calm and boring for a while! (and peaceful) Gwen, your doctor did not tell you about PB? Has he done this before???? Sorry you found out. It's still part of my life--2 years out. Had a date--it was fun. Don't go out and buy bridesmaid dresses. He is much younger--I refer to him as my puppy. hahaha Spoke to a man at hospice today--he has fit 100 years of living into 53. The stories he has belong on a TV movie! We need to enjoy and be grateful for each day and each friend! Gotta go--dinner with friends tonight....oxox

Linda--just came back from Boston and will send my friend of the Three Legged Poodle your email address--stay tuned... jUdy

Just read--tubes tied??!!! Take care. Heal fast!

Karen--glad to hear from you...take good care...it's time for that little black cloud that has been following you to GO AWAY!! I am packing (one of my least favorite things to do) for my nephew's wedding. Tomorrow will be a long day, Tampa to Balto to Boston and back on Sunday Boston to Atl to Tampa. I'm ALREADY tired! I have done the Optifast--just the boxes of shakes--for 7 days as of today. I lost 7 lbs. It really wasn't that hard--there were times I was hungry, but a cup of coffee or water helped. I think I may do this a couple of times a year as a boost. If I don't get back til Monday on LBT, have a wonderful weekend. I hope the aches and pains are few and the smiles are plentiful. oxox judy

There is a difference between a Princess and a Diva. Concerning Merry and her leg--there is a vet that has a radio show/newspaper column. When I was questioning the quality of Tinka's life with senility (she was 16 1/2), I wrote to him. I was asked if I would be on the radio show and speak to the vet. And he was helpful to me! Send an email to petworld@stevedale.tv His website is www.stevedalepetworld.com There is a pet supplies store in Sun City Center called "The Three Legged Poodle" named after the owner's actual 3 legged poodle (who died this year-old age). I am good friends with the owner...do you want me to contact her for you? Gotta run-CBL.

Jodi and I know that we were kidding each other. A Jap is one that does not have to get or do anything for herself--daddy will do it. That did NOT apply in this girl's family! If I am a princess for some things, it is because I worked for it and made good decisions! No one ever bought me a car, a house, my degrees, my travels--in fact, no one ever contributed either--when you're single, you have to do everything yourself. AND--you don't have to be Jewish to be a Jap! So there!

Forgot to add--altho I am wearing a size 12 pants, my BMI says that I am still obese. What? They do NOT account for age! Ridiculous! PS Bought the Frizz Free Garnier product--I'll let you know if this Brillo pad on my head goes away.
