Maaaaaaaaaan, hearing stuff like that (Argon and Loriely) makes me even more sure I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RESTRICTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You slay me Mandi!!! Cheeeers for you!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

VERY inspiring!! THANKS and WELL DONE!!!

pssssst....mine is probably somewhere in Texas now too (hopefully) on it's way to the working stiff's home!

Hi Wheezy...and yes, Welcome!!! You'll feel better soon!!! Be sure to take your pain meds!

LOL @ visual of Dr. pulling out a half eaten child's leg from Neenagh's stomach! ewww

I hear ya Joyce....that is my fear as well. Headlines keep saying that the case has been "solved" and "cracked"> Helooooo...he is merely a suspect!! I hope it will be solved but it certainly isn't yet!

Glad it helped Neenagh. Yes, blending is KEY as well. Foget that shaking thing or stirring with a whisk....put it in a blender and blend 'er up goooood. Then, add your extract and blend again. Then sip away! BTW, your granddaughter is a cutie petutie!

Hmmmm *looks at Neenagh's avatar*.... hmmmm ummmm, aren't you a bit young to get the band?? :nervous

LOL @ Neenagh...maaan your band date can't come soon enough!!!!

I'm hoping that the one I sent will be at its destination sometime next week!!!!! Don't worry, I'll be here lickety split to post a thank you as soon as I get mine!!!

WOW. Thanks for sharing! That is soooo awesome; I'm so very happy that you are doing well and have recovered so quickly!! I'm sure it is still a difficult road....so take it easy on yourself, and ALL THE BEST!!!

I think I know what you are gettng at ratgirl....for the most part yeah, I feel the same (& hope to soon feel better than I did before!!). But...unlike some others, I find I am obsessing about food WAY more than I ever did (but I never really did "obsess" before....and I hope this obesessing goes away eventually). Why am I obsessing? I guess because I find myself thinking all the time about what I can and can't have (ie. as meal times approach) or what I should or shouldn't have...or what I miss....etc etc etc. It seems much more of my life revolves around "thinking" about food now and I really dislike that. But, as I say, I'm hoping after the learning curve is over that this obsession will go away.

I agree dovie....sooo many niggly things that don't add up and if he wasn't involved with the famiy somehow....how could he have known some things (ie. the note as you said, and the layout of the house) etc etc.... That's why I really hope this forensic evidence is a match.... ...and yeah, it will take awhile before all the facts are out....patience is key, I guess...but inquiring minds sure wanna know!!

Welcome to the fray, Lila!!!!! *evil laughter* :biggrin1:

That's why the media is so interesting and sometimes misleading....different reporters report different things. I heard on CNN this morning that it wasn't the parents but some professor at a university who is/was making a documentary on the killing who tipped off the police. Karr had been e-mailing this documentary guy with info etc...and some of the "info" and knowledge he had was stuff he wouldn't/couldn't have had if he weren't involved somehow. So finally this professor guy tipped the police. Maybe after Boulder's press conference today and on Larry King tonight we might find out more solid info.

I was blown away by the latest news. Like for many, this case has haunted me in many ways over the last 10 years. I hope, in fact, this guy Karr is the killer and it will be proven beyond any doubt (I understand they got DNA from evidence in 2003...and if it matches this guys' DNA...then it will pretty much be the forensic proof that is required). It will all be on Larry King Live tonight....so that show should explain a few things. If he is the killer, it is too bad that Patsy passed away before knowing the truth. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out....at what (if any) prior relationship this guy had with the family. I know, I, for one, will easily admit that I have strongly suspected the family (one or both parents) for the longest time.

Sherri: definitely ask to have it checked to see how much is in there. My first fill was 5 ccs and I struggled with no restriction for a few weeks..went back for my second fill and got 2 ccs; still no restriction; on my 3rd fill they found out only 2 ccs were in there....which means the original 5 never went in in the first place!! So here they thought I had 7 ccs when I only had 2 in there!!! So for SURE ask about it. It should be standard practice for them to do that when they do a fill anyways, but unfortunatley that isn't always the case.

Hiya MC! Welcome and congrats on your approval!!!

Yippeeeee!!! Those are really really really great NSVs!!! ....and congrats on your quick comeback!

duh!! I meant to say Vaughan...not Newmarket!

Argon...I'm sure I can get you one from TLBC if required!!! Neenagh: don't forget the almond extract too!!! That was one of the best ones!!!! *waves at everyone*....glad to see so many new people here!

because Mr. Loriely was complainin'....spit the watermelon seeds at the back of his neck and see if they stick!! LOL

I think we all go thru these phases, Loriely. I'm in one right now too. So much for my "no chips" for Aug. *sigh* Do pringles count as chips? (I know they do...just hopin'!!). I got so discouraged about regaining those 3 lbs last week, despite having worked out 6 times (90 mins each time!) and eating well....that I said "screw it" and had pringles. WTF is wrong with me??!! LOL.... I'll tell ya what...I"ll kick ya in the arse if you do the same for me!! Aim high!! LOL.... psssst Loriely: you want to get motivated and lose some more and get a good head start on Mr. Loriely...you know how men are...he'll catch up to you in no time flat!!!!! THAT should be motivating!!

Neenagh: you poor woman you!!! My chef husband did some WONDERFUL things with my Optifast when I did that program a few years ago. Extracts is key and hugely improves the flavour and plus makes you feel like you are having something "different" when in reality is the same ol' same ol'. He would use the following extracts (sometimes mix and match): vanilla, peppermint, butterscotch, orange, lemon, bananna...etc. Put in about 1 tsp to 1 tbsp (or more...depending on how strong you want the flavour) and then mix it all up....YUUUUUMY!!!! You are allowed extracts! Give it a whirl and experiment!!! Get your butt down to the baking aisle and buy them bottles!!!
