  1. Go to the official website of registered names. You can not have any name that someone already has but it will get you thinking up names fast. My girlfriend who was president of DOminion Roller Girls Of Norfolk had a great one : Traylor Crash, her name has been retired since her passing over the summer. That is what is so cool about it. Once you have a name it is yors for keeps, so think it out and make sure you like it. ! Goodluck!
  2. I was banded on the 12 of oct. The doc did the first under flouro, it went great. the second fill, by the other doc, he didnt use the flouro until after he had stuck me. It was terribe. He poked and prodded and poked. My port was very sore for about a week or more. I still think it is mad at me. I have been fairly careful easting but i can tell when things like liquid are going down. It is starting to subside.
  3. Works fine for me too. and it is yummy.
  4. I drink coffee every morning. I can not and will not compromise. If it means i am a little slower getting to my goal, fine. I gave up sodas. i had to put my foot down with coffee and told my doc ahead of time if it meant he wouldnt band me then i would have to find alternatives. HOWEVER, instead of mocha flavored coffee i mix 1/2 a pack of carnation cocoa flavor... it makes chocolately coffee with the Protein i need.
  5. Thanks! I was wondering how they were going to do that. The article was so small and on the last page and i think this is a much more important issue. Esp since it takes a month to get the documents! :confused:
  6. Actually they would. Anyone who eats less then 1/4 of there meal it is customary for a waiter to make sure things are ok. Even if you are a pole the waiter is suppose to inquire I cut them off at the pass... as they come to the table i tell them how wonder the dish is. Then there is no question. It works everytime. I LOVE doing lunches and not dinner. It is more acceptable to eat a lite lunch then dinner. And i can order soups for lunches. This is great and no one questions me. Or I tell them i had a lot of coffee and it curbed my appetite. There are tons of ways to avoid questions. I dont even tell people I am on a diet. That isnt their business either. If they ask i tell them i am trying to be good and laugh about how long that it might last.
  7. According to a small paragraph in our bad local paper.. As of Jan 23rd you will need a passport to go Mexico and Canada and other places that we havent had to have one. Does anyone know anything more about this? I figure this adds to the planning of going to Mexico. Are they informing people that they will need to get one? Just curious.
  8. My first marriage i took his name, BIG MISTAKE> 12 yrs later i still occaisionally get things with our name on it. My second marriage i kept my own last name. I am no less married but if i took his last name i would sound like a porn star. He was ok with it. My girlfriend in Cali got married. They both changed their last names to something new. The figured they were starting a life together so they started with a new last name that they both chose. It wasnt hard at all. Loop holes. There is always a loophole
  9. I have met Chuck a few times. He does Grappling and Muay Thai and i was a thai fighter (trainer) for 5 yrs. Let me tell you.... wise choice... and he is sweet too which makes him even more yummy.
  10. MAN! that sucks for me huh!! :huggie:
  11. Well this little twist could REALLY change my list !! I didnt know we had that option of the one nighter! Hmmmm now so many more men look yummy.... when i dont have to deal with them long term
  12. Flouro is the greatest thing. It is a u shaped tube that is Magnetic? Not sure. But it shows your insides in black and white. They make you drink the barium and they and YOU can watch the goo go down. I like it bc it showed me how fast things move thru the band and everytime i get to see it is one more day that i havent screwed it up some how :huggie: Today the doc did a blind poke, no flouro and turned on the flouro once he got it. He had to twist a little but I have a fussy port named Tino that i fight with. (it is rubbing alot on my rib cage)
  13. Alot of people here in VA must attend NA/AA which is faith based. We must ask god to forgive us for our shortcomings... come on... and it is a required part of their parole. If that was me i guess I'de be spending more time in prison! And Defotoz- I understand all the posts about DC. It is wild up there, as here... Well drug court calls me to testify today...gotta run!
  14. Hmmm.. Johnny Messner Morris Chesnut Kevin Spacey I would break all of them in half if given the opportunity. My DH? His choices would be Isabella Rosellini Anjelica Houston as Morticia Adams The orange haired girl from The Fifth Element I personally really agree with his first two... If i was a guy ide want to to do them too.
  15. I agree with you about that too....
