Anyone scheduled for December yet?
No Jean9, all she wants to see,and have her Baby___Healthy. And a sorta sad FYI , one of my childhood friends was named Jean, we just recently lost her to Alzheimer's and it's attendant woes. So when I saw your pen name it was l8ke she was waving Hi from Heaven, at the end she couldn't even do that. Alzheimer's is such a dehumanizing disease, I pray??a cure and even a prevention comes soon!

Cottage cheese used to be my go-to as well as Greek Yogurt, even stirred sugar f4ee syrups etc in them to spice things up. Precious Hurled both out with great rapidity. Haven't tried them since, should maybe?

Forgetting to chew
Now did you learn your lesson? Gad, I sound like the Nasty Mama who let her son burn himself just. as a learning lesson. When I read about it, I thought "What a Nasty Broad, that's Tough Love gone BAD!"?

Dr Vuong seminars, who has been, what are they about?
Which one, so many are so good. My son , the Tomkitten, likes his daughter Lily's song from a few years ago, the one with,a nasty language suggestion, spent good m9ney to download it on Google Play, had it also on I-Tunes until the day he decided to launder my I-phone, NEVER worked again!

Goals
And how did Darling Hubby fit into the Halloween Ball Gown, pictures would have been lovely, don't you think?.Oh YOU wore it? Even Better! Now on to the Little Black Dress. And it's now time for Frustr8 to burst forth in song? Maybe it's much too early in the Game Ah but I thought I'd ask you just the same. What are you doing New Years, New Years Eve? You can now unstop the children's ears, noth8by to be frightened of, and all the dogs? should stop howling shortly! The irreverent Ms. Frustr8 the Great?

Been stalking a few weeks ... figured I’d say hi!
They, like the military, are largely unsung, and do a very special job. Nursing is always patient-centered, medicine Is disease centered maybe that's why they are the Calico Cat and the Gingham Dog, they both want their patient to return to health, just 2 different philosophy,to Get There!

Hand my Sleeve on Sept. 5, happy and miserable!
And still slogging through the Stricture Wars and it is mid- November. Beginning to think I am some sort,of weird biweekly Friday date for Endoscopy/Hepatology. Nurses recognize me , Dr Noria refers to me by name, not number, last Friday she even helped PUSH my bed to the procedure area, maybe because I was LAST of the Day? And the receptionist greets me with" Hi again! Did you have a good trip down from Mount Vernon?" We'll I would, had your city fathers not a continuing mile of asphalt needed to remain unbroken! I'm sure I saw Robin Hood's barn 3 times and perhaps Hansel and Gretel's. house. You begin to wonder if you're driving or planning to join a game of Dodge'Em.

Any Netflix or Hulu Shows of Bariatric Life or WLS?
I have been looking for a place to post my query. Maybe this is "necro-posting"but at least this thread is from 2018. I had, after my recent move, and realigning cable and other Tra La La's been offered a month trial subscription to several services. Is Netflix and the others like Hulu, Pandora worth the trouble and effort or is it a big m9neymake Spectrum might be getting a Kickback from????
