Nope, you're not the only one, by FAR! (except I only had 2 weeks, but barely any veggies)

awww... :hug: to Wheezy.

Oh Jude... I'm sorry about everything. Hopefully things will start to look up soon. I hear ya about the not being able to eat... I couldn't beileve pudding could be so hard to eat. It's gotten better for me, and I'm sure it will for you too. Just hang in there. :hug:

Cloe, and Maria, I sent you pictures... let me know if you don't get them. And anyone else, who may be silent on here, and donated to 'the cause' and/or wants to see the pictures, PM me with your email add. and I'll send 'em to you

awwwwwww..... too cute! Demon eyes! LOL I was expecting pure white-ness though.. :pout:

remember... it was actually a moncton cookie! I just told him it was from TO! LOL And, btw, the ice cream incident was before the cookie incident. I haven't comfortably eaten icecream SINCE my fill! (but I've tried, a couple times!)

So... tell me things... Do you shave 'em and sell the wool? Do they live outside? What do they do in the winter? Is there a barn they go warm up in? So... if you save the girls... do you make sure that they don't breed with their dads? (that is, if you get the same rams in year after year) Or does it really matter? Maybe inbred sheep are just as yummy as non-inbred sheep? LOL

So, Marie got the flowers. The pictures haven't been sent or 'uploaded' yet, but I'll be sure that whoever wants to see them, can. The girl who brought the flowers to marie hasn't posted, but another gal who just happened to be in the office when the flowers arrived, said Marie cried her little face off! Awww! I will let you know, as soon as I do, what happened.

Mmmm... oh yeah, onion too! It seems to have changed sometime in the last 10 years, I think. It used to be better.

Is it that Helluva stuff? French onion, I think? I remember seeing that at costco. But I looovvve plain old Philadelphia chip dips... like peppercorn ranch or dill pickle!

Psssh... Dan is not one to go to for math help!

Ok.... this is official: I need a picture of you holding 30 baby lambys... and ONE of em has to be black!

Nope.... I don't think anyone does/has. You're pretty much on your own with this. Just think... if you eat $133.33 less in food a month, over 10 years, the band will have paid for itself!! LOL You'll also likely live longer, from losing *any* weight, even if not all that you want to. Smaller clothes are cheaper than plus-sizes (any one else agree?). But then again, once you can wear whatever you want, you could go nuts and buy more clothes than ever before! Mandi

Hey Wheezy... no I haven't tried that. (calling the makers) I did offer to pay for fills. It was still a no, cause the answer was simply that he didn't have enough time. BUT... Dr. Cobourn is training a nurse, who is getting the band at the end of September. She lives in Nova Scotia, about 4 hours from me, I think. And then 6 weeks-ish after her surgery, he's going to go to Halifax, gather anyone who wants a fill, and have a big fill-fest, probably by her, while he watches/helps. So I have about 2 months until then. Hopefully I WON'T need another, but its nice to know if I do, I can go there, and HE will be there, at least the first time. Then hopefully after that, she'll have so much experience, that it won't be hard at all, whenever I have to go back.

Yeah, that IS cool, Wheezy! I'm amazed when I hear of people who've been friends and still are inseparable since kindergarten! But yes... being a spy would be cool too. I didn't mention it, Yoda, cause I wasn't sure you'd want everyone knowing... but since you blew your OWN cover.... tell us more!

Congrats, Yoda! That's fabulicious!

put it in a cat carrier... you could throw it on the plane!

Oh my goodness... "the market"!!! How do you keep track of them? Are they tagged? Can you send me a little black one?

Hey, anyone else think we scared off DebRN (I think that was the name)... the Dr. Beausoleil patient?

perhaps by the time I have a highschool reunion come around.... I'll rent a Porsche, and hire an escort.... LOL

Ooooh, yes... Grey's and House! I almost forgot. I don't think I can talk to you guys anymore. Too many good shows to watch. And Yoda, I knoooow! I'm so excited. I haven't got the money yet, unfortunetly, but hopefully next week. Hmmm.. what will I do with it? Probably pay off my Visa... and maybe get some furniture shipped down here. I NEED my couch!

Wow, did you? That'd be a cool thing to be able to say. But now you need to move to Nfld, just to get that under your belt!

I decided after tonight... I never want to eat in a restaurant again!

I was just thinking.... I'm 99% sure I'll be going home for Xmas... and if I do, I'll likely go to 'the bar' in my hometown, on Boxing Day (night), because thats what everyone does on that day, to see everyone they haven't seen in a long time. How sweeeeeeet would it be to blow all those jerks (I say that cause there's very few people I actually care about seeing) away with me being a weight they probably haven't seen me at since I was ... hmm... 16? Pretty sweet, I think!! I would especially like to run into my ex. I *know* he's in a going no where job, and probably still the biggest loser around. Better off for dumping me? Hmm... I think he did ME the favor. I wouldn't be where I am now if we hadn't broken up. I just might have to thank him. *twiddles thumbs in anticipation* Ooooh... that's some good incentive. I almost wish I wouldn't go back until I was at goal, but I gotta!

*cough cough* Canadian... anyways, I don't have any regrets either. I'm very happy so far. The hardest part for me is that I get a little depressed when I can't eat what or as much as I want to... it gets frustrating. But I'm obviously still getting accustomed to this whole new world of.... eating to live, not living to eat... I guess.
