  4. i have strep throat developed it this morning. i am not banded and this has nothing to do with the band. i have strep in the throat and a totally seperate infection that is in my right ear. i went to the er today. had a fever of 100 but felt way hotter and was in a lot of pain in my upper and lower back. they gave me a motrin, the prescribed a pain/antiinflamatory/fever reducer along with a fast acting antibiotic. broad spectrum. i came home, got in a hot tub, and fell asleep. then came back to bed cause my fever was high again. I mean I am freezing!! and now i am experience intense pain from my neck to my ankles. honestly, the throat and ear are nothing compared to this. the pain comes in waves. i def have another fever, but then i will feel like my whole body is being twisted and stretched. i don't want to go back in if it is just symptoms of a nasty fever. i can't get in touch with my doctor. opinions? ideas? i really need your help here.

OH yeah. that is on my diet. $^%^* &%^&*^&* ^&*I (^*#$%
  8. Dody, I respect what you are saying, and agree to a point. These things should never have been said. The post should never have been made. There are several on the board that should never have been made, on boths sides of the fence. As Susan's friend I ache for her and what was said, and my concern of the harm being threatened is way up there. But at the same time, I have been on the internet since before the world wide web came around. (anyone remember PINE mail?) I have belonged to many BBS and boards discussing everything from salt water reef fish, to weight loss surgery, to sex. and this is going on on all of the boards. It is because when a large group of people get together, there are going to be a few that don't get along. The mods do what they can, but like Alexandra said, they aren't here all day long. I imagine the way things are set up is there is a seperate forum that none of us can see. this forum can only be accessed by mods, and I betcha there are tons of threads about the fighting going on. While Alexandra (this is just for example. i do not know the situation and am using names for this example alone) may want the thread deleted, the only other mod on at the time like Penni may not think it is bad enough to warrant a deletion, but does agree that it should be closed. There are several threads and posts that i wished were deleted. But I do not have those powers. all i can do is report report report. and be available to speak with alex or the mods whenever they wish to discuss the events.

  10. that is awesome pnut!!! You are doing so good girl! It just shows that hard work, the right choices, and a helpful band can make this work for you. I don't think I have heard you whine once, except for mood swings. That is just so awe inspiring.
  11. Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey Mx has don over 5000 lapbands. Many people go to the Inamed site to verify this statistic but cannot because he has not done just Inamed bands. I agree that a little research goes a long way. I also feel that it is a personal decision. I am confident in my decision and look forward to my surgery with Dr. Sanchez.
  12. i would have followed them around the whole store, stating very loudly to everyone i walked by, These insensite assholes just moo'ed at me to mqake themselves feel like they have a bigger penis. i am sure a few employees would notice, and they would either be asked to leave, or they would leave on their own to avoid the crazy lady shouting and drawing attention to them.
  13. OMG Jenna I just laughed out loud! You made me wake my kids!! That picture is hilarious!! I am printing it and hanging it on the fridge.

  15. so today I went back to torrid to do a bit of shopping for tonights party. My god that place is addictive!! Bought another new corset. And a really soft yellow shirt with open shoulders. So I am walking out and it is right next to Icing (owned by Clair's accessories) and I think what the hay! I need some new earrings to go with the new tops. LOL I am awful!! At least their stuff is cheap! So I am in there and I am looking at all of their stuff and I think, "ya know! I used to have triple pierced ears. I rarely wore anything in the third holes, but I always had earrings in my first and second holes. But my second holes have long since closed up. So I decided to get the second holes re-pierced. The whole time I am looking at stuff emily is asking me "whatcha doin ma?" "Oh can I have this? It makes me oh so pretty!" "Oh Its pink ma! I like pink!" "Holes in your ears? Is that how earrings work? I want earrings!" So I call Rob and hand the phone to emily so she can ask him. Our rule was that she would have to ask. We were not going to get her ears pierced as a baby. It would be her decision. At least for the first set. After that she has to wait till she is 16. LOLThen she can pierce anything that I can see. So she asks, and her kind and sweet daddy says yes. While she is on the phone with him she is sitting in the chair watching really close as the woman does my second holes. She sees the stud puncture my lobe. She sees a little blood (I bleed with paper cuts) She asks me "did that hurt? Do you have a booboo? Do you need a bandageaid?" I answer yes, yes, no. She sits back and says into the phone "Daddy I don't want a earring. I am not big enough for hurts and booboos yet." The ear piercing girl just about cried! LOL
  16. This sounds like an advertisment for her doc really.
  17. Whoever taught you german must have been a really fun! LOL I love that you know how to say "you have enjoyble thighs". I think that is a phrase that everyone needs in every language!!
  18. At my highest I have weighed 372. I have never had to buy two seats, but I have worn an extender. you are better in an aisle in my opinion cause you can just lean out in the aisle if need be. Also, when you get to the gate see if they can place you in a seat next to an empty. it will make things more comfortable.
  19. Looks like two booboos that got a bath! that magnifying pic is hilarious!!
  20. She is, in my opinion, the biggest (no pun intended) cheerleader on this board. Three cheers for the Nut!
  21. join the club. tell us about yourself. and then when the next challenge starts up you will know what you are doing.

  23. i think that is hilarious!! and i am a cat lover.
