The worst analogies ever...
Too cute! Well maybe not numbers two and three...ick. Just ick. Wait, number one is pretty gross too.

What happens during a full moon?
Back when I worked for the county we would get at least one new patient every full moon. There are lots of theories, but if people believe the moon changes behaviors...it will. Plus, teenagers are a little more likely to get into trouble because of the extra light at night.

USA should take a page out of Australia's handbook!
Also, Cashley, if you are looking for motivation to do the research try Beliefnet http://beliefnet.com . I haven't been there in a long time, but I really enjoyed the debates, groups, and discussions. Just being able to really see what the various religions teach is enlightening. Several years ago it inspired me to continue my education.

Awwww. Thanks Dawg. Your Momma.. right back at ya! What are YOU doing on vacation? Does 3Loves know? Oh, and even though I wanted to hate this post, it was pretty right on. I was a Mental Health Counselor before Mommyhood. And who would object to being labeled a genius (probably an actual genius). Is it dead yet? N-E-V-E-R ! ! <- that might kill it.

Tofu
I used to blend it into cream dressing powders like Uncle Dan's/Hidden Valley Ranch instead of mayo. It was a little gritty, but SO much healthier.

Tee Hee, silly Telly! So relieved to see this is turning into a happy thread. Oh, and my mom won't even drink Chianti after seeing the movie, not that she ever knew what fava beans were..

I am Just a SeaMonkey
Here's a question: Does anyone remember a show called "Boomerang"? It was a puppet show with a woman named Marnie. I even remember snippets of the theme song... Must have been the late 70's? One of the puppets was named Norbert. Weird memory. My DH is convinced that they will try and bring back the Monchichi's(sp?) like they tried with Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite. I think I must be sick to remember all this stuff...

I am Just a SeaMonkey
We watch Fraggle Rock all the time! My little girl is addicted to the DVD we found in the Walmart discount bin. She asks to watch "Tickle Rocks" at least twice a week and she kisses all the "Doozer-bugs". And the Muppet Show, I forgot all about the Muppet Show! Jim Henson was amazing!

Don't see why not. Good stuff? My local NPR used to do radio shows up until a few years ago. I loved them.

My DH couldn't believe that I hadn't heard of of the Sid & Marty Krofft shows, so we rented them on Netflix... 20 years too late. I probably would have liked them when I was younger. OK, Sigmund was a little bit cute. I was a cartoon lover: Smurfs, Snorks, and Scooby Doo. We watched Little House every Sunday before church. Most of our TV time was PBS, so as a kid I loved Mr. Wizard. Is this topic dry? Want a new one? How about favorite vacation ever? We can still list or favorite kid shows too... Lets stretch and see if we can do two topics at once.

Leak?
Although they "prime" the band and tubing with saline prior to surgery I have read that a .5cc variance is acceptable. My last fill they were able to remove 1.0cc even though I was only supposed to have 0.8cc at the time. Sorry for all the leaking ports! WOW! Definitely get a fluoro DrewsLou, my second fill was actually an unfill. They drew out my fill but were not in the port to give back the fluid. Expensive mistakes..the fluoro is worth it. As far as slow leaks.. I have heard they can use Omnipaque as a fill, it is thick and less likely to leak. It's use may nullify the Inamed warranty though.

I am Just a SeaMonkey
See I know that anything I type just gets launched into the void, drifting in space like a SeaMonkey in a fishbowl. It may offend, inspire, or amuse the other SeaMonkeys but at the end of the day there will be no political reform, coup d'etat, or religious restructuring. The fishbowl belongs to Alex and he could easily pour a little Clorox into the bowl if we get out of hand. All this has been said before, but I thought it would be nice to have an oasis for the peaceful, fun loving SeaMonkeys to come and float in peace. Today's topic will be: Children's TV programming from the 70's and 80's If someone comes to defecate in this pond or to bite the other monkeys, I will request a lock.

Overfilled, but by how much
I am back! You ladies are so special! THANK YOU! I was just feeling alone and scared. They removed .3cc so I have 1.3 now and can swallow. I sucked down a bottle of Water, a Protein shake, some liquid Tylenol ('cause my head was splittin'), and got a nap. I am at 98% now and am so glad I didn't die :drama: Pretty sure it is my fault for not stirring up the barium. The fluoro was showing restriction of the watery barium juice and not the thick chalky stuff at the bottom of the cup. Much love to everyone! I am back and have a new found empathy for those who speak out against "aggressive fills". Slow IS the way to go! *shaking finger*

Calling now. Nobody had been here? Really? Geez, now I am kind of scared. Plus, I have the dehydration headache.

Overfilled, but by how much
I had my fill today. I had been wide open for some time. The tech nearly doubled my capacity taking me from 1cc to 1.6cc. That was at 3:00 and since then I have only been able to swallow (and keep down) about a cup of warmed water. I have produced about four times this volume in saliva, slime, and foam. I searched and found a helpful post by Alexandra that suggested the OP "wait out" initial overfill symptoms within the first few hours and days of a fill. I am watching myself for dehydration and have not given up on the sipping. I figure I will call when the office opens tomorrow. It is new Bandland territory for me. Has anyone else been through this? What did you do? Thanks peeps. for helping me through my rough spot.

The "DeLarla's Back" Fun Thread
I could just black myself out and leave my naked buddies to do all the public snow dancing...but where would I post them..? Maybe I should just start up a website of my own. ha They were filming a mini-series that I don't think ever aired; Romeo and Juliet: the murder mysteries or something similar. I ran into the blond Baldwin on a vacated lot. Is it really spelled with a "v"? Now I feel silly Really incredible lists people!

I think we have a genuine thread killing attempt in progress... Use of the silent "P" On other threads it has been a sure indication of lockdown in progress "in here life is Beautiful" Oh, and P'Nut... where did you find the picture of the Mactal giving mammograms?
