Took hubby to a nice dinner and a movie last night (booked early because tonight was so full we'd have had to have eaten at 9:00 or later). Tried a seafood place a coworker raved about. Food was good. Not rave-worthy, but good. For ME, the portion was just right. DH, however, needed to stop at Micky D's afterward and get two quarter-pounders with cheese as it didn't fill him. He got a tuna dish, and I got sesame-encrusted rockfish with Asian vegetables and basmati rice. Gave him my rice to sop up the good Asian sauce with afterwards. But the dish was a perfect size for me. Tasted good, and I didn't feel like I did too badly. Saw Taken afterwards. Good movie, but I liked Gran Torino better (a movie I had seen but hubby hadn't but wanted to -- though he opted for Taken). Nice night. Haven't had a "date" in some time.

Yeah, I've had issues with my DH too.

Awww, that's cute! How many years?

I think for me, that was one of the biggest reasons why I only told three people. I didn't want people to scrutinize me or see if I failed (I think I still had it in my mind that I could or would fail like I had with diets in the past). Maybe find a polite way to tell them to mind their own beeswax. :thumbup:

Yes, you did say that! :thumbup: I guess I'll find out. Then again, I have such a hard time finding my pulse that if it was wrong, I don't know that I'd know. :rose:

Sounds like you're doing GREAT!! With my surgery, I was up and down -- felt good one day, not so great the next, then good the day after, then bad again. I never had the gas pains at all... it was more attributable to just feeling blah. Congrats!

Shonda, this post is sheer insanity. Why is HE villianized, even hypothetically, by you??

Yeah, and I want to be a supermodel, but it ain't gonna happen. You know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Yes, obviously. That would make you a hypocrite... again. :thumbup: (there, I did a winky guy this time) Ain't America great?? No matter how irresponsible you choose to be, this country of enablers is right there to give you our money ("our" usually being the ones who ARE responsible) so that you can be rewarded for doing whatever you want to do. How grand.

Hehehe! :thumbup:

Boo! Last year I had school on both Valentine's AND my birthday. This year I'm safe.

Good thoughts your way, Fanny. I hated being in that position myself. It took us 19 months to sell our Houston home, and it was grueling. And yes, nervous energy can make you hungry. I haven't had the band long enough to say it would make it tighter...

Oh hell, girl, GO FOR IT! :frown:

Try for it. Hey, can you thpeak with a lithp? Might get more cha-ching. :frown:

Hmmm, that's not good news... :frown: But... but... but... it's by JAKE! lol

Aren't they all? :frown:

Wow, BJean, that's disheartening! :frown:

No problem. So how do you feel? Healing okay? Pain minimal? Drugs good? :frown:

I just got this yesterday from Overstock: Body By Jake EKHO Heart Rate Monitor from Overstock.com Hoping it works out well. Still need to read the instructions because I didn't know what the hell I was doing with it last night! :frown:

Welcome to the club!!!! Now here's your card and your secret decoder ring. I would have Plain show you the secret handshake, but I think he puts a few extra lewd gestures in there. :frown:

Firefox has all the cool stuff... :frown:

Smithart, you did way more than ask a simple question. You know it, I know it. Yes, this is where we "talk," but not in the way you addressed me. Please, do not feign ignorance. It was improper, and you know it. Now please, if you wish to ask me anything else about whether or not I'm married because I'm so mean and opinionated, you are welcome to do so in PM or on the relavent thread. To bring a controversial topic or something where you disagree with me into a chit-chat thread simply to confront me is wrong no matter how you color it. And if you can't handle debate or strong opinions on debate threads, I suggest you not go there. Do you go into an adult book store and complain about all the porno? Now, I'm finished with this with you.

Wow, Allie, you've had GREAT success! Congrats and welcome.

No, you called me out on this thread about something that was going on in a debate thread. I don't think that's very fair to myself or the others here to have you do that. If you have an issue with me debating on a debate thread, you could have written me there or PMed me. Please do not do that again. Thank you.

Of course I do! Is this not MY country, YOUR country? We have borders. That means people from outside do not belong here unless they take legal channels to be here. This really isn't a debate thread, so I'm not quite sure why you chose to bring this here, smithart. :ohmy:
