I never had a burning sensation, but I just wanted to say: "1 to 2 WEEKS!?" Wow!

I don't know what else to say! I just wanted a sub inbetween 6 and 12 !!! :doh: LOL

I say "BOOOOOOOOOO! I don't feel like making a new ticker, so you all will have to suffer without a ticker from me til next week!" I don't want my body-less head as a ticker, so I need to come up with something new, and I'm just not feelin' it today. But... I am down a whoppin' 0.6 lbs. Wowsers! Haha... nothin' to write home to mom about, but I'll take it. Mandi

I will be changing it later, YES!

haha YODA! Come on.. we'll both do it, and compare pics, ok?! You'll feel so much better! I'll think of some more questions for you Telly... and until then, there's gotta be some more people who've tried it too?

haha, not me! All I ever wanted was a 9" SUB! These pervs had to take it THAT way!

Thanks! Watch out tomorrow, cause it's my weigh-in day, and I'll make a new one.... providing I have a loss to show. If I don't, I'll drop off the face of the planet with shame, and you won't hear from me until I do! (nah, most likely I just wont bother changing it. Then you'll know not to mention it out of fear of getting your faces ripped off!) LOL

Oh Telly... noooo...... did you ??????

Oh man.... I want it, NOW! lol Wowee... Telly, the stuff you took, was it a 'bulky' thing, like say, how Metamucil when you add Water and drink it gets really thick and stuff... I know when I used to take psyllium husks (thanks for nothing, Atkins :mmph:), that it got really thick. Would it be possibly not a good thing for bandsters to do, perhaps? I guess, you'd just wanna chug a lot of water... hhmmmm...... MORE! MORE! I need more colon cleansing experiences!!!!

LOL Yoda.... see what I mean. If that stuff can come out of me, I'm kinda thinkin' "Let's DO THIS!! Get it OUT!" I read somewhere, that some think it might just be the stuff they give you that is supposed to be cleansing you, forming a kind of 'cast' on the insides of your intestines, and giving it that bulbous shape..... hmmmm....

Wooo! Telly, don't mean to put you on the spot, but is that kind of like what you... uh... experienced? (the pictures from that blog)

AHHHH! That's sooooo gross. But yet, intriguing... LOL Very interesting. Thanks Telly.

Well... let me tell you what brought this on. The one informercial I DID see had this guy talking how, and he warned that he didn't want to be gross, but one day when he was helping his little daughter in the bathroom, he was amazed and started that her 'poops' were about the same girth as his arm! And went on to talk about how kids aren't as polluted as us, and blah, blah, blah. So, knowing me, and how much I'd like to increase the size of my poops, you know I just had to find out about it!! LOL Nah, it's just something that's been in the back of my head for a while. I'll be sitting here, and all of a sudden... "The size of his ARM!!?!?!?! WHA!?" Ok, you asked for it. This is somewhere that I saw pictures much like the other grossness I saw before .... http://www.coloncleansingblog.com/ Warning: GROSSNESS!!! and there's many pages of posts about the bowel movements this person had, so feel free to keep browsing. But really.... tell me more, people.

*covers eyes* you guys are DIRRRRTY!!!! LOL

Awww... c'mon. How and why?!

What constitutes a 'professional'? Is it a doctor that does it? Is it a one time thing? Is it where you get the tube/water in the butt? How much ... umm... bleh, was removed? Sorry guys if this gets gross! I'm genuinely interested! Mandi

haha, I know. I can cleanse my colon pretty well myself with a Chicken, Frank's RedHot sauce and banana pepper sub from Subway! Just curious about the 'other' ways

I keep seeing these infomercials, and ads/websites online about colon cleansing, and the pictures of the gross gross stuff that people, umm... eliminate from themselves while doing it... and if there's a chance that there is that kind of crap inside me, I want it out!!! Have you seen those pictures? Oh man... Anyways, has anyone ever bought a colon cleansing system, or maybe tried that Master Cleanser/lemonade thing? Did it work? Did you feel cleansed? Did you expell huge, massive, clumpy, disgusting things? For all I know, and I've read this as well, that it's all a scam, and it's totally unnecessary, but I just want to know what you guys think, and if you've had any experiences with it. Thanks! Mandi

Haha... I hear ya. It's AWFUL. I wish it was like this place. So much easier to manuever. As long as you get yourself out of recieving the emails everytime someone posts, and can just read them on the website, that's a start. Keep trying!!!

I dunno :pout:

Not me, and no one ever replies to my emails, so I give up! *hhmmmrrrrpphh* *runs away pouting*

You guys are too funny. The job is doing various animation type stuff for a kids cartoon. I don't really know much about it right now, but probably a year from now, when it's actually ready to go onto TV, I'll let you all know to look out for it, and to watch for my name in the credits! No, my boyfriend is actually from Calgary. He moved to S'toon for school, and that's where I met him. Yeah, everyone is really amazed to hear where I'm from. I've gotten the "wow! Everyone's moving there, and you more HERE?!". I don't know what they're thinking, but no one's moving to Saskatchewan! Alberta and BC, yes, but SK, noooooo. I guess the west is the west to them. Haha, I totally know what you mean about the jaywalking! I wouldn't even attempt it in a REALLY big city! I'm too slow! I do not know what people from Miramichi are called.... I shall look into that and let you know someday. Fredericton is about a 3 or 3.5 hour drive south west from here, I believe. We're about an hour north of Moncton. I hate saying distances with times, (like it's an hours drive), and my dad would have my head for doing that, but I just don't know the actual distance. Yeah, I think they do get ALOT of snow here. I probably will be bitching about that in the winter too. :confused: Mandi

OOoh... I'm so flattered that you think I have stuff to tell! The job, it hasn't started yet. I'm hoping for August. REALLY hoping! Living arrangements: I am currently room and boarding in a crappy house, with my boyfriend, another guy from work, a lady from work, and her husband... and 3 cats. It's waaay too hot here, and I can't wait to move elsewhere! We're on a 'list' for an apartment in what is supposed to be the nicest buildings in town. A few people we know here got in before us, and we've seen the places, and they are very nice. All new appliances, a dishwasher (one of my 'must-haves'), and is about 1.5km from work. The people here: I'd say they're very nice. I still giggle when someone says something like "I'm gonna hop in my care and run down to Walmaret." Apparently the best thing they have to make fun of my 'acccent' is that saying "Really?!" is sooooo "Westerner" LOL, whatEVER! The shopping: Hmmm... nothing fabulous. Luckily I'm not in the market for any clothes right now, and I will hold on to the same crappy clothes I have for as long as possible! The malls suck. I've only been to one, but I can imagine the other one's about the same. There's some 'bigger' stores here that I didn't really expect for a small town, like Walmart, and Canadian Tire. There's a Burger King, McDonalds, Boston pizza (for the 'well known' places to eat, anyways... there's lot of restaurants. And rumour has it, we just might be getting a Quizno's. Please, please, please!! The town: It's called Miramichi. It's an amalgamation of 3 towns that were so close, and just grew together. Altogether, the population is about 15,000. Even though they grew together, everything's still so spread out, and they're still too far apart. It's very annoying. You have to drive sooo long to get anywhere. Luckily where I'm living right now has all the ammenities I need close by. If I, say, want a blizzard from Dairy Queen, I have to drive like 20 minutes! Sheesh! lol Boyfriend info: What can I say? It's nice to be back with him. We're having alot of fun. haha, you guys gotta be specific about what you wanna know! Nah, I don't regret it YET. I like it, and it's nice to be away from everyone. I feel a little guilty for leaving my mom (cause that's who I was last living with for the last several months), because she has MS, and I like to think having me there was a big help to her, and good company, cause she doesn't have much. But she has my dad, and I know as much as she'd love for me to live in her basement forever, she doesn't want to hold me back. I also miss my kitties, and worry about them, especially the two 16 year olds. I hate to think that I won't be around when ... you know. I didn't have any friends where I was last living, cause it was my 'hometown' and everyone I knew was gone. All my friends were in Saskatoon, so since I've been away, I've mostly just talked to them by email and MSN anyways, so nothing's really changed there. I dare say that it's not really that different here. I'm sure if I was in a bigger town, that'd be different. It's just slightly more hilly and near the Water. It's DAMN hot. But I usually said that in SK too. I can't wait for fall and winter. Now if I were living in Charlottetown, I would say that it was totally different. At least the areas near the waterfront. Everything's SO beautiful. It's very clean, and just NICE! I would love to live there. So, anything else? Mandi

What was your surgeon (or will your surgeon be) right about? That "this one" will work!? Nah... you're SO not too old for high heels! I'm going through these things, and taking down my 'wants' and other people's that apply to me too (things that they said, that I wish I would have too), and making a list that I'll put up somewhere (or just keep handy on my computer), and strike things off my list as they happen.

I think she said she's spending today recovering and flying home tomorrow (friday) "at the butt-crack of dawn" LOL So maybe we'll hear something tomorrow night. Mandi
