Most definitely!!! Ms. TEENA was hotter'n hell before the surgery, and now she's just downright smokin'! :smile:

It must be sad to be so ignorant. You even write like a troglodyte. Bye.

No, but I believe they can afford to hire more employees. Now if only we could make it where they keep the jobs here. Maybe tax breaks for those who do.

And THAT, dear friends, is why I don't miss living in Texas. :thumbup:

Tina, dear :smile:, some people don't deserve the time of day. Your ex was one, and now you've met another. Some people are such troglodytes that they would be willing to have ANY man -- even a skank who runs around on them -- just to say they have a man. It sounds to me like somebody is jealous that you had a man and gave him up -- even though your reasons were sound -- because they can't get one. Maybe you ought to hook her up with your ex. Sounds like she is willing to settle for lowlifes just fine. :thumbup:

I will apologize to the mods ahead of time, but... Michelle, STFU.

Erm, check back with us in a week. :thumbdown:

Lordy, Tina!! :thumbdown: Did you tell the doc what happened?? And if so, what did she say about that happening? Do you think you were just woozy over the needle or something else? That's scary!

I guess the problem, as I've noticed it in reading so many posts here, is it's hard to know what is a realistic goal for each of us. Where some may lose over 100 pounds by their first year, others have "only" lost 30 or 50. We're all so different, and our bodies react so differently to the changes, that setting an attainable goal can be hard. There have been a couple times where I plateaued and had to kind of "kick start" myself again. When that happens, I notice if I go on liquids for a day or two, I lose about 4-5 pounds immediately, and then the weight starts moving again. Don't know if you're at a plateau, but if you are, it's worth a try.

Never EVER say "only 85 pounds down"!!

Thank you, Amy. I have learned one thing by watching blowhards like this for many years: Not ONE PERSON comes to God by this sort of "preaching." NOT ONE. I have been on message boards in the past where people like this would go to town, condemning people and having this accusatory tone in their "message," and while they were turning people off to God, I was slipping in through the back door and showing them something good about God which in many cases changed their minds. The worst part of it was that I had to fight against these so-called "Christians" who were turning people OFF to God! And Patty is absolutely NO different. Sanctimonius twit!

PATTY, IT IS NOT MY JOB OR YOURS TO TELL PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE THEIR LIVES!! That is where you and I part ways. You call it being lukewarm on my part, but I call it not being an ugly zealot and Pharisee like you. You holler and yell about holiness all the while being the stumbling block God warns about. You are an ugly soul who cloaks herself in the Bible, only able to rail on about sin. You are as big a sinner as anybody else, yet all you do is spew about others' sins. You are NOT a messenger of God but are instead an instrument of Satan. And now I will take Babygurl's recommendation and put you BACK on ignore.

Yes, we have. However, it just irritates me. GRRR... I've been staying offline as much as possible because it seems my computer has swine flu or some other nasty virus. Hubby is a bit stumped as to what to do, short of wiping the dang thing out and starting from scratch again. WHY can't people with computer know-how use it for GOOD instead of doing this crap??

Oh, but you do. And what's sadder still is you deny it or just don't see it. Every time you open your mouth on here you do a disservice to God and run off His people. I guess that's YOUR sin.

Is that a redundant question?

Omg, Teena, I want what you've got! You look freakin' fantastic!! Rawr!!

I wish it was just this thread. Every freakin' thread she gets on goes this way. *sigh*

Me too, especially yours.:smile:

Omg, Teeny Tina, I think I can speak for everyone here in saying I'm SO glad you're doing better. However, if you need a needle, you need it. Or the drain back. This too will end soon, dear. HUGS AND LOVE!!!!

I know, I know... but arrrrgh, it's effin' annoying!!!! It's one thing to have your beliefs and live your life according to those beliefs, but it's a totally different thing, IMO, to do what she does to others. I guess it's a way to make her feel better about herself and HER sins. :smile: So long as you sin, who the f*ck are you to tell anybody else what a sinner they are??? Sorry, but omg...

It's GOD'S PLACE!! I don't believe He EVER gave you free reign to condemn people!! That is between HIM and THEM, not YOU and THEM!! :smile:

Thanks, Amy. I guess I have a "live and let live" side to me where I don't believe it is my place to judge others in their beliefs or lifestyles. None of us are better than any others since we all sin. So for one sinner to cast stones at another is akin to the speck and log analogy that is also Biblically referenced. I may utilize my right through voting to determine what I do or don't want in my society, but I will never run around and tell others what sinners they are. Like I said, I may barely make it to heaven myself. Though I believe strongly in God, I most certainly make daily mistakes which are considered sins too. Since I am not nor will I ever be perfect, it's pretty stupid to point out other people's flaws. Just my 2 cents. PG, it's your constant holier-than-thou professions which make you so detested, not that you believe in God. I can't imagine He's too keen on your representation of Him.

But if that's the case, that's her business, isn't it? PG, I know your heart is somewhat in the right place, but people's issues are their business, not yours. In other words, it's not your job to run around and tell people how they're sinning. The only person I know that ever walked this earth who could judge was Jesus, and frankly, you ain't Him. People's lives are between them and God, no matter how much you want to interject your feelings on the matter. To keep doing this puts you on an even keel with God and/or Jesus, and THAT, my dear, is also a sin.

PG, whether you like it or not, the Jews ARE God's chosen people. Always have been, always will be. He even says so in that Bible you profess to know so well. Saying that gamyj "believes" she is one of the chosen undermines what God Himself says. Tsk.

The Jews ARE the chosen. Always have been, always will be. :smile: But I reiterate again, I believe EVERYbody should have the right to determine who their things go to, who can see them in the hospital, and even who can determine what happens to them if they were on life support, for instance. Whatever one wants to call that, I totally believe in that right.
