No but we can once again say catty and obsessed. Gee why don't you block me here like you did on OH and like you typically do to everyone who disagress with any of your verbose diatribes over there. Just like Sandy does.

I think the links that were posted by the OP were from a DS board, so it sure looks like someone hunted them down. I'm all for debate but this is just catty and making fun of people who are trying to fight obesity. Not cool.

She talked a little bit about being on three's company, I guess that stuff she knew about. I hate to see someone with little to no medical knowledge suggesting stuff to people that is crap. Her latest cure all appears to be testosterone cream. She claims that it will prevent BPH (bening prostatic hyperplasia). Wonder if she would like to comment on what it does for androgen dependent prostate cancer.

She is on Larry King and just said that testosterone is made in the prostate and went on to say that it prevents enlargement of the prostate. What a freaking loon.......

Vinegar sounds too whimpy, what you need is a big heapin' helpin' of ketoconazole! Just kidding, I hope it clears up fast!

I like Shrike all by itself. There is something cool about names with just one syllable.

Darn, so I quess blue tongued skink is out too.... I love skinks

Cytokine storm sounds kinda cool but could be fatal. Or how bout a nice transmembrane protein like an integrin?

You are almost there!! Congrats from a Jan 2007 Bandster!

So one of my bosses, who is from the UK, comes in my office and asks me if I know why when cats are spayed in the UK the incision is on the side and when they are done in the US the incision is on the abdomen. My 2nd job is vet tech so I guess he figured that I would know. I had no idea that the surgery was done differently in the UK. Does anyone have a clue why this is? When I asked him why he wanted to know he said it came up while he was out drinking with friends and none of them could figure out why. Now he's got me wondering why. :guess

Happy New Year to you and everybody on LBT! :clap2:

I agree, I have a friend who became an alcoholic after her rny. I think that is one of the many reasons why my doc stresses walking (or some other type of work out) daily. Wouldn't it be great if it was just as easy to focus that energy on something positive?

I was wrong too. I thought it was original poster.

From Wasa's post on OH "Now she is in the hospital and they are suggesting she will erode in the future. She's shy of two weeks post op, irritation under the band, swelling, fever of 101.5, labs show no infection, and this is just a really weird case. I'm not sure what's going on. She had no stomach pain before falling, after falling x2 she has a great deal of stomach pain, no leaks, no perforations, none of that." Looks to me like she never suggested this friend had eroded after 13 days.

No worries, I should have quoted her post.

My reply was to the OP and had nothing to do with your reply.

Hey I thought that you and Wendell were responsible for all of the bickering over on OH! And before that it was Vicki and Dee. I just can't keep up with that board.....

There are lots of things in the bible .... "But if ... evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones..." (Deuteronomy 22:20,21)

Exactly! What a lousy example to set for a kid about appropriate behavior. It's also quite lazy. Using distraction or another form of discipline such as the "naughty chair" might mean you have to get off your ass more than once to make it work.

But we are talking about a baby here. I have a fireplace and it has a screen. It's not like a kid can jump right into the fire. We are also capable of using language in various tones to comunicate things. Can you honestly say that had you not been hit to teach you that fire was hot you would not have learned that fact? I know that hitting is a simple easy solution, but maybe we are capable of doing better.

I think a playpen would have been a better, less violent, answer.

So this was a baby, not even walking yet, and you think that hitting her would have been the appropriate answer to this problem?

My dad passed away this past June. I respected him for the positive things that he did throughout his life. Hitting your kids is inappropriate behavior. His parents hit him and were both alcoholics so he really didn't have a good example to follow. I think perhaps people find it more acceptable when you call it spanking. But hitting is hitting and it's wrong.

I agree, all it ever did for me was make me afraid of my dad when I was a kid. What a waste. I just don't see the logic in hitting as a method of solving a problem. Why set an example like that?

Congrats!!!!!! and GO GREEN!
