Boo Boo Kitty

Hey all you gardners (I am not) I have a new lilac tree that is blooming RIGHT NOW! Everyone tells me that there is no way that it is, but I have proof! It is beginning full bloom again. Is there something that I did and is it going to hurt it? What do I do now? Thanks!

There is nothing logical about her at all. That there in lies the problem! Thank you. I truly appreciate it!

Thanks Denise. That is it exactly. :tt2: | You're a doll!

Sept 30. Month long competition. I don't know if i have it in me...lol....weesssshhhh.

I have no idea what happened but I am loosing now by 60+votes! Go vote for me! xoxoox

WOW! I have NO IDEA what happened over night, but I am loosing now by 60 votes....WOW! Everyone go vote please!

Kat--I am sorry for you as well hun. I hope everything gets better for you. Are you happy in the 150s or you want to get to 140s? Losing--so you have one of those moms too? I am sorry! How is the band baby doing? Froggi--do you have insurance? Don't they cover your meds? If you have asthma you MUST have the preventative, or you might as well not have the rescue. You can damage your lungs using the rescue too much. DH has severe asthma so I know alot 2nd hand. He tried to do the no preventative and I was there when he got the big lecture. Tap--I hear ya, I am taking sleeping meds every night to go to sleep. Plain--Yes, we all know you are Captain Obvious! :eek: Green---yes, fatten yourself up again! Just a bit to be healthy! As for Grandma, just got a call at 3 am. They did a test putting a tube in her stomach, it is filled with feces. Her intestines are backing up into her stomach. So we are waiting to find out what happens next. I have no idea what we are going to do. David just came back last night and now he needs to go back. But we are 2 hours away from anyone who can watch the girls and I can't take any more time off work or school. I will loose my job which we can't afford. I have no idea what we are going to do. :tt2: They are thinking a bowl obstruction with Gram. If anyone knows anything about it, please PM me. I am researching on the internet and we all know how that goes....

Naked chic sucks. She has a ton of votes on the myspace blog attached to the link, so I am thinking I am just slightly ahead of her. I feel horrid for being so damn competitve, but damn it I want this! lol... :tt1:

Susan I am so sorry my bandster sister! (((SUSAN))):tt1:

He is my Dad's best friend. Who has never seen them. How weird eh?

MY band slipped during my port replacement surgery, 3.5 weeks ago. SO I am still unfilled. A week does seem too simple, they want me to wait 4-6 weeks. Only 4 because they know me and I didn't want to be empty 6 weeks. BUT I am doing ok on it! :tt1:

OOOOH YOU WILL LOVE IT! Mine was so pissed off he ended up leaving! LOL...revenge is so sweet and it IS ON THE BANDSTER menu! :tt1:

Leslie--I am sad to hear you know how I feel then. I am sorry for you as well! As a mom I just want my love to be completely unconditional, unlike my mom. Ebony--thank you! I appreciate your kind words of wisdom! :embaressed_smile: You speak volumes to me. Everyone does here! THANK YOU ALL!

When were you banded? When was your last fill?

Thanks everyone. I need a group hug for damn sure! :embaressed_smile: I am going to spend today scrubbing and cleaning the house for GG's arrival this week. I am sure scrubbing will help with stress. Hugs to you all. I really appreciate all the support you all give me. Without my LBT friends I would be having a nervous breakdown. You all remind me that isn't an option and I appreciate that! HUGS! xoxoxox

Thanks everyone. I am going to sit down to day and respond back since I have cooled off a bit. But yes Mac, she is ALWAYS like this. At my wedding seconds after You may kiss the bride she screamed out "She's your problem now David, you keep her." Yes at the ceremony. I still to this day, almost 14 years later seen my wedding video. I guess afterwards she said a bunch more crap to the camera and everyone tries to protect me from her. She had the Bypass 4 months after I did the band and her EXACT words were "so I can loose faster than you". She has always competed with me. I feel like she is my arch enemy not my mom. I hate it. She did this yesterday AFTER me telling her what a horrible day I was having. Washer broke for good, vaccum broke, and my DH grandma was in the hospital, they are thinking pancreatic cancer and she will be moving in with us. I guess I wasn't focused enough on my mom yesterday to make her happy....ugh... I honestly hope that I can break this toxic cycle with my girls. I can't do this to them. It is never more important to me than ever to make sure I do not turn into my mother! :embaressed_smile::crying:

I recently slipped. I was in the worst pain in my entire life, couldn't stand it. I mean I would rather have children again pain. I couldn't even keep water down. It was horrible. I hope you have not slipped. Is there a chance a recent fill is just too tight?

It did that earlier to me again and a bit ago I was able to vote. I am wondering if it is because it has been less than 24 hours?

You know I have thought about this more, and I believe without knowing her it is easy to see she is just concerned. But when you throw in this is the woman who tried to convince my Dr that I was anorexic and needed an intervention or everything else she has done my entire life, the care looses its luster. In all honesty this is the woman who knew I was being raped and abused for 8 years and never lifted a finger to help me. She is lucky I haven't written her out of my life a long time ago. As far as my job, I am not concerned at the moment. I guess if I ever do have a problem I will cross that bridge when I get to it. I have learned men are perverts no matter what you do. I have gotten grossly hit on in sweat pants at the grocery store. I do keep my personal life completely off my pin up profile for a reason. And that would be to stay private with my kids.

Thank you Lulu, that is completely how I feel. I guess I need to stop reacting to her because she is getting what she wants. She has called me 5 times in the last hour, but I am not answering. :smile:

Thanks guys for making me feel better. :smile: I get very emotional and often feel attacked by her. Just how it goes for me I guess. She gets on my last nerve always.

Green I am glad to hear all the treatment has killed the cancer. I only had the targeted radiation and I know how bad it is. I think what bothers me most about Gramm is 5 years ago she lost her baby son (41) to esophageal cancer. Now her oldest daughter has extreme breast cancer that has spread to her liver. With Jerry (Uncle) she got brain cancer. And now with Ellen this. I sometimes wonder if there is a god. :smile:

Well as a lot of you know I have a lot of issues with my mom. Well she has made it known now what a whore I am. Here is the link in question. I am Ginger Rayne... www.bravenet.com - A Bravenet.com Vote And here are her words of wisdom...after you read please tell me do you see what she is talking about? Am I a bad girl? Dearest Daughter, Without a doubt you are the most beautiful lady on there! I have my feelings and reservations and I hope that you will respect them as I am trying to respect and understand you and where you are coming from! I am very proud of you; and all your accomplishments! Including your weight loss, and new sense of self image! Still I have some strong feelings and reservations on this subject of your my space; and this other web site! I am not happy with all the types of people that will be seeing our daughter in this matter! I am going to ask you to do something difficult; please put yourself in my MOTHER shoes for just a minute! My mother shoes are screaming walk the other way please! Maybe I just don't understand all the Internet attraction; or your need to have your fans. Maybe I am an old fashion lady? What would you think if your mother did this? What will you think when someday Brooke or Faith thinks this is great; and God forbid they take it even one or two steps farther? You are a mom; along with being a mom is an incredible responsibility!!! One that I have always taken very seriously; and passionately! I know I have not been perfect; and I admit I have made tons of mistakes. My thought is from a mom's outlook here! I believe that I have taught you well; and to respect yourself, to think things through, to see the repercussions of your actions and that of others. I don't want to see anything bad happen to anyone of our girls; no matter what their age! What if someone from your daughters school see's these and says something negative to them? We all know how people have their own judgements and opinions, and can even be very cruel at times! Will they hurt your daughter's in anyway with their comments or actions? You look stunning and beautiful as you always have to us; but you don't need others to tell you that really do you? I hope that this letter does not put a wedge between us in anyway? I am not angry; just very concerned ! What if this comes back to haunt you someday? For instance in the job market? You are looking for a great future with a great job, of great responsibility! What if someone were to have the opinion that you aren't qualified because they think your judgement isn't quite what they had hoped for?? We have seen many times on the news were things have came back to haunt people; epically those of power or influence? Let use a for instance: Say you are an executive director of a large hospital or nursing home; someone turn this web stuff up, and due to a moral clause in your contract you have signed you lose your job? I know you think I am way out there on this but it is just my opinion and something serious to think about!! I know you aren't nude; but there leaves a lot to the imagination here. Guys with there tongues hang out doing God knows what are looking my daughters picture! Guys like Ralph! I feel like a failure as your mom if I don't at least say my peace! I am not angry, trying not to judge; more asking WHY?? I am proud to call you my daughter! You are intelligent, breathtakingly beautiful, goal orientated, hard working; and more! I ask you to think about all the things that I have put out there in this heartfelt letter! Sometimes as mom's very often we have to just stand up for what we believe in; I am saying in my opinion you are not thinking this through well enough! You are excited, proud, and finding yourself in this world. Great! But please do be careful that the wrong people do not find you; or misjudge you! This world is full of opinions, judgements, dangers; and a lot more. All I am asking you is to be aware of it! Please don't be angry with me; I am just being your Mother! A mother who LOVES her daughter with all her heart and soul! A mother who only wants the best for children, grandchildren; and my family! At least tell me you can understand that part of my concern? Again you are a Stunning Beauty. Let your inside beauty shine as brightly or brighter than you outside beauty so that others may know the true Brandy we all know and love! With all my heart. Love your Mom P.S. You have a link open from this voting place to your my space page; please consider stopping that link; and keeping your my space private to only those you choose! Please call me, and let me know how Norman is doing. And please let me know what you think of my letter; I will except what you have to say; all I ask is you understand my deep concern for you and our granddaughters. Again, Love you tons. Your mom forever no matter what!!!!

Faith is 7. Old enough to know better! David will actually take care of his gram. She raised him when his mom abandonned him at 16. SO she is most of the time all he's got. He loves her and would die for her. She took care of me as well for a long time when I was on bed rest with Brooke who is 9. You really need to read what Mom wrote, basically called me a whore. Seriously. I posted a rant about it with her "letter".... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f80/mommy-dearest-thanks-making-sure-i-never-feel-happy-75899/#post996336

lol Naked chic is cheating. We will win a HAT named after us, which in my opinion requires an outfit to go with it. BUT I could be wrong on that one! :confused: As for me naked, those days are gone! :thumbup:
