  1. You too! First edition of Heidi and the Bobsey Twins to me are sweet finds! Well I have been doing so good this week about not having to take pain pills during the day. Only take at bedtime with a muscle relaxer until last night. I decided to try to not use them at night. I am paying for it now. I just took both. So back to taking them at night. Oh well live and learn. Y'all have a blessed Sunday. :wink:PPPSSSSTTTT Taps, I'm on my way to get you. Don't tell anyone else.:thumbup:
  2. NEWS FLASH........Just heard on ET that David Cassidy, his brothers Patrick and Shaun are going to do a TV series called Rubie and the Rockets...Shaun is producing it and David and Patrick are the leads.:wub:I am a kid again!
  3. Talking about my NSV shorts. While at DS's home I forgot what I was wearing. Well like a child needing to go pee and waits till the last minute. I almost peed myself. When I ran into the restroom I grabbed both sides and went to jerk my shorts down! They wouldn't move!:tongue2: That split second I seen things flashing in my mind. Oh, my DBIL ans DN would have a blast with this one. It would be one Auntie would never live down!:thumbup::biggrin: Then I started trying to fumble with the button!(note to self..when wearing these shorts make time for potty) Such a strange feeling trying to unbutton something on my stomach! I haven't done that in 31 yrs.
  4. Glad your doing so much better Lu. On the other hand....are you sure that your hubby has the band and it is saline being put in it? Maybe your living in the Twilite Zone!:biggrin:
  5. I forgot my NSV.... I have a pair of walking shorts that I got from the clothes closet at our LB support group meetings. Any way I have had them about 3 months. Today I thought what the heck and tried them on. They fit and nicely! What makes me so excited is they button and zip! I can't remember the last time I wore anything on my bottom that buttoned and zipped! :biggrin:
  6. YAY!!!!! I am so glad you finally got some sleep Tap. Just find something to do in the house. maybe do the neked happy dance for getting some sleep.:tongue2: Just shut the curtians because if plain thinks your doing the neked dance he will spy on you! Yea I thinl I will call you Laura instead of TPG. Just incase I forget the "T". I don't want you to feel the need to preach. You want to know something though? My real initials are PG! Kc...Yep she aint tellin! Kr..welcome Morning all. Hope you are having a great weekend! Have a blessed weekend everybody!:biggrin:
  7. Why doesn't this surprise me this thread is plain's favorite one? Any way I have gone from a 58 C/D (depending on brand of bra) to a 48 D. I can buy at stores again! Tried running one day and ended up with a black eye from the girls.:smile: Remembered why I hated running as a kid. Still hate running.:cool2: As long as they hang I could stand and bat baseballs with them by just swinging my top! Look ma no hands! LOL
  8. Do I blame the parent? I'm not for sure. I have mixed feelings on this. When I was 9 my parents put me on WW. Bought a cute dress that was of course way to small for me as an incentive. What this done was, drove me to sneak food, not just then but for a lifetime. I wasn't really fat at 9 yrs old. But by the time I was 14/15 I was 225. I remained that weight for yrs. I was chubby at 9. But they didn't make chubby clothes for girls, but they did make huskeys for boys of that age. Who's to say if my parents didn't do that what I would have turned out like. Would I have gotten fat or would I have lost my baby fat? In all fairness my parents went on WW also. They were both heavy. I found out after my mother died that her mother weighed over 300 lbs when she died. (mom didn't talk a lot about her family) So I don't know. We aren't there with this mother. We don't know what if anything she tried. I agree after a certain age a child will, if they want food, find a way to get it no matter what the parent does.
  9. Rod, I pray those shots work for you. Please keep us posted.
  10. Heather, Speaking of pics???? How's your little one doing?
  11. Ebony. I am glad you love your little new car. Have fun with it, BUT........waiting for it..........why white? I love Celestial Teas also. I have 1 corner cupboard that on 1 shelf I have over 10 different types of teas. My favorite is BlueBerry. I love my hot teas especially in the winter. LOL When I first moved here, they really didn't know what hot tea was other than to make ice tea with. I got a lot of "You mean to tell me you actually drink it hot?" "That just aint natural." :wub: I never thought anything about it when we would come visit Grandma & Grandpa. Grandma kept Tab around and ice tea. But we always had tea bags for hot tea. Enough people have transplanted here from the North, so there are many different types of tea now instead of the 2 that where here when I moved. Gallon and 1/2 gallon size bags.:wub: Irritated with #2 DD. She knew I was going to pick up my DGSs today so they could mow my yard. It is so high. I called her before I left work and she tells me they have to be home by 4. Wow 1 hr to mow in and get them home? We talked about it yesterday and everything was hunky dory. My yard looks like white trash lives here! Hasn't been mowed in 2 weeks now. You would think that with 3 DDs and 2 SILs that someone would mow my grass. They all know I have weight limits. But I guess in the end, I know it won't get done unless I do it!:cool2: My DGSs help but can't mow the hill. They have been gone for the last few weekends. Oh well I am off my rant:rant: Tap, hopefully you will sleep tonight. slim, good luck with your braces. Lu, hope your feeling better To everyone I hope you all have a good weekend.
  12. Rod....thoughts and prayers are with you hon.
  13. GG... I am so sorry your going thru this. There is another woman on the PJTP thread, Heartfire is her name and she has clusters. My DD has severe migrains from he Meniers. I feel for you. Especially being hungry from the steriods. I was recently put on them for a short time and gain 6 lbs. I wish you the best of luck. I will pray for you. Please keep posting.
  14. I drink a lot of water but still have the problem. I live off Tic Tacs. I need to own stock in them. At home I am fine, but at work or anywhere else I have them on me.
  15. Tap I feel so bad for you! Have you tried Sleepy Time tea? Are you stressed out about something (other then not sleeping)? I pray you get some sleep soon hon. You might not gain it right back. it's going to take you a little while before you eat regularly again. I am sorry for the pain of braces since you can't take them off. I have partial dentures that cost me a small fortune. I can't wear them cause they choke me so bad any more. Haven't worn them in almost 2 yrs. But when I first got them my mouth was so sore from wearing them. I never got to the point where I could eat solid foods with them. I could do mushies no prob. So I ate even worse than I did before. But then they started to choke me when I put them in. Oh well. Lu I hope you get the relief you need today. Maybe not a complete unfill. Ebony how did it go at work yesterday? Everyone else have a good day. my phone is now off so my internet will be gone very soon. Will check in when I am at one of my DD's homes. Love ya all.:thumbup: Take care
  16. Slim, I feel for you with the braces. DD had them. She didn't eat before we went and was starving when we left. I didn't think and took her to Chee-Burger Chee-Burger. Poor baby hated me for the next 3 yrs! Lu, Sorry your still having trouble. Maybe you won't need a complete unfill. Hubby's food does sound good. Glou, I totally agree with what Mac said about unfills and not beating ourselves up for gaining. Hello everyone else.
  17. Yes it was. Fun reading. YAY! I am happy for you both. Ebony...Go for it. I think that is a really good idea! Just mad I didn't think about it.:thumbup: I am still praying something comes through for you soon. BBK and MS glad to see you took some advice and visited here for the non FB crowd to see.......Maybe one of these days they will convert. :glare::wub::mad2: Maybe these look will get them to convert. LOL
  18. Morning everyone.... Tap...sorry your still having trouble sleeping. TPG....:thumbup: Have a blessed day everyone
  19. Ebony you look great! I love the dress also. Welcome pool lady. It's nice that we have 2 newbies in here and they fit so well! It's 4pm and I haven't had a single pain pill today! Doing the happy dance.
  20. Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a great day!
  21. Beth......HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU Hope you have a wonderful one
  22. Good luck and welcome! :thumbup:
  23. OK talking about stupid questions and stupid things here is one for y'all. (if I can get it to show up and not take up to much room) Nope won't show up. Anyway it was a picture of someones backside all burnt and nasty looking. Apparently him and friends thought it would be a hoot to stick a firecracker up his tail and light it.:ohmy: A friend sent it to me. You have got to wonder what the heck people are thinking.:thumbup: Luluc.. I understand about your thinking, but it is kinda in the line of what a friend of mine is on. She also has a ruptured disk, But her back dr. has her on a 2# weight limit. This has to heal since since she doesn't want surgery and I can't afford it. She was surprized that I wasn't on a lower weight limit than 10 lbs last I talked to her. But I also kinda messed myself up a little because I tried to weed whack the other day. My whacker is only 8#. I think that is why he lowered the limit so low. But I am feeling better and am not taking pain pills every few hrs. I took 1 before work just to be on the safe side and one a few min. ago. It's not real bad pain, but anoying enough to keep me awake. Thank you for caring Luluc.:thumbup:
  24. It took me a few days on mushies to get back to normal. Good luck
