Ah, yes, but you forgot to remember, I am in charge! I make the rules, I BREAK the rules! Bwahahahaha!

Do you want an answer to make you feel good, or do you want the tooth? I already feel good These fangs are made for chomping, chomping they will do ..... I am old enough to remember when this was on the radio!

Go to your profile. The instructions are there, so if you have a picture on your computer, it should work. Of course, I am real troglodyte myself, so I might not be much help.

@@shedo82773 Thank you! I will give there a try.

C'mon, you need to be BOLD, like William Quantrill, who I think of every time I see your screen name.

@@emardee Thank you! I am going to give these a try. I am like Magilla Gorilla when it comes to bananas. I love them.

@@southbound We have a process we call "sanitizing the truck" any time we have to cross the frontier into New Jersey Hollow point ammo is illegal there, and there can be upwards of 1000 rounds in my truck (mostly .22) if we have just gone to the range. But even one will land you in jail.

Do you want an answer to make you feel good, or do you want the tooth?

Thank you. I am blushing.

About seven years ago, our oldest daughter and her daughter were flying up to visit from Florida. She was running late, and grabbed a bag her husband was using as a range bag. She made it through security at the airport in FL, spent a week here, and then departed for home. At that point, all hell broke loose. Apparently there was a loose 9mm round in the bag. They had missed it somehow at the first airport, but not at the second. The whole place came completely unglued. You would have thought she had a nuclear device in her pocket. She told me about the whole thing. She said, Daddy, it was awful. Some big fat sheriff kind of a guy was screaming at me about how he could have me arrested, so on and so forth". She figured the only reason they let her go on her way was our little granddaughter was screaming like an air raid siren the entire time. They kept her bullet. She wanted to kill her husband for the trouble, but I kindly explained it was her fault for not checking the back completely, not his. That did not earn me any points.

I have been getting away from commercial Protein bars for a couple of reasons. The artificial sweeteners play havoc with my system, and it seems to be getting worse. But the way things go around here, I often find myself needing portable food, sometimes on a moment's notice. I have been looking around on the interweb for Protein Bar recipes, and even did a search here (without much in the way of results). so I am asking... Does anyone here make their own bars? Would you be willing to share a link or recipe? I am looking for something low carb, high protein. I am not too concerned about fat content. It does not have to be ultra simple, but I don't want to have to spend an entire day making them either.

@@suzzzzz Nothing at all. I could tell stories, but it would tarnish my lily white reputation. My coffee cup was made of glass. Besides, if I filled a red Solo cup up with wine, it might not be a good idea. We used to observe a phenomenon on a board where I was a moderator which we termed "posting while drunk". I would hate to get into that.

I was told to eat five, possibly six small meals a day. It is working out pretty well for five most of the time, although sometimes I end up with only four.

This sounds like something I could have written! We must live parallel lives. Look at the bright side. Your blood pressure didn't spike while going through all that grief and cause a stroke. I can see it now in your status update... "I finally got my tracker to work, but it says my BP is 250/200!" Have fun with it. I get aggravated at mine when it tells me I need to move when I am driving. I talk to it. "I am moving! I'm going 70 mph! Can't your inertial sensor figure that out!?!"

@Odie @kmalcom28 Thank you ladies! It is nice to see a couple more attractive smiling faces!

I've had enough trouble with the TSA that I decided a while ago, if I have to fly there, I ain't going there. But a lot of that was because I fly armed - or as armed as I can legally be. I can regale people for an hour or more with TSA stories. One involved a pat down after I went through the metal detector with my belt on. Boy, did I get hollered at for that! You would have thought I was smuggling a CANNON on board! Just as an aside, titanium guns are very difficult to make. Smith and Wesson made a few revolvers with titanium cylinders for a while, but the rest of the frame had to be aluminum, and the barrel had to be steel. Taurus made an all titanium revolver for a while, but it was prone to cracking. And that excluded the barrel, which was steel as well. So titanium guns would still show up, just like the "plastic" Glocks, which still have plenty of metal in them to make them work.

I will take dessert over pretty much anything. I guess that's why I needed WLS. Another punster, eh? I actually intended for "beaches" to be read with sort of a Mexican accent, but hey, a vacation thread is fine with me. Probably the best vacation Mrs. LittleBill and I ever had was a few days of sailing a small boat in Maine, followed by holing up at a campground for a few more days where no one else was around. We laid about all day long soaking up the quiet and reading books. I won't go into the rest of it. Suffice to say, it was a great time without the children.

It has been going on for a while, and I suspect it will get worse. Probably the worst was the woman at the McDonald's drive through. Mrs. LittleBill and our youngest daughter were in the truck with me that day. I had had a couple of previous encounters with this woman. Anyway, I put our order in, and she started moaning right there over the speaker system. When we pulled around to the window, she was literally hanging out the window with her hand on my arm, moaning. Mrs. LittleBill was sitting there with a WTF look on her face. Our daughter was in the back seat saying "Eww eww eww!" I don't think a ring would have made a difference. I had to stop going there. Of course, it is moot now.

@@Raymia Thank you, and I hope you have a nice day too.

Did she really? Hahaha! That's funny. Well good I'm glad to hear your doing well! We will miss you!!!! I'll let them know you said hi! ☺ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Haha, not really. I'm just messing with you. I doubt she even knows we know each other. The only one who might would be Cheryl. She'll probably be glad for no outrageous comments in class.

Rebel! I was just a wee bit of a rebel. Wine yeah, but the shrimp was healthy. I got my comeuppance for it though. I baked up some crab cakes the following evening, and caused a disaster. I ran out of olive oil spray, so I thought, "I am a skilled cook, and capable of heating up a frozen fish cake". So I doused them with some olive oil from the bottle. That was a Real Bad Idea. There was way too much oil, and they came out a sodden mess, not all crispy and good.

Haha, it's not what you might be thinking. I am a visual kind of person. I scan for avatars even before names, and usually recognize a poster for their picture. It is bad enough with those of you who choose anonymity (and I do not blame you). But it seems a number of you ladies have chosen a beautiful tropical scene, with bright sandy beaches, palm trees, so on and so forth. You're straining my poor old eyes, not to mention my memory, trying to keep you all straight. So I have to work a little harder. That is all. Carry on. Well, don't "carry on". It's Sunday. Behave yourselves.

Pushing it is the last thing on my mind! Right now I can't stomach anything I am so nauseous. I've been nauseous since the surgery but what they were giving me in the hospital helped but that was after they would try Zofran and phenogren. They sent me home with Anna grande and that does not touch the nausea. I can barely drink anything because I feel like I'm going to get sick at any second. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I was fortunate in that I did not have nausea. I hope yours resolves itself soon. I've been that way for other things in the past. It is no fun at all.

@@Treadmillwalker I will have to check that out. If I do it, I can tell Mrs. LittleBill that on account of her, I've come unhinged. I am sure she would appreciate the sentiment. Thank you.

Has the Mrs. returned yet? Was the wine drank from a solo cup? LolSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App Haha, I'm not that far gone. I was using a small coffee cup. She's not due back for a little while. It's kind of boring around here without her.
