*covers Dawg's eyes* No, not yet.

*whispers* Ok, there is one oddity about him. He has this thing for goats.

*laughs*

*cough* You whispered while covering my eyes, I heard that you know :bananajump:

Beside, goats are cool. It's a fact.

"I know that toilet paper was $1.99 for 8 rolls in 1993, because it's still there on our computer. So I cop flack all the time about how irresponsible I am for not wanting to go round grey haired with eyebrows like a man. Apparently its my fault we're not rolling in it."

AND

"....where can I get a 'nickle on stick'...or at least a photo????"

OMG, it's only 4:00 a.m. and tears are rolling down my eyes while my gut is busting open! Jack, I will get you a photo of a nickle on a stick!

And now I have warm fuzzies over Dawg n' Nut, awweee!

Dawg's eyes are still closed, right? Susan, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. I don't have any goats, but I do carry a blow up sheep with anatomically correct orifices in my Slumber Parties inventory.

Wonky? I like that!

My man is perfect too. I'm not kidding. He lived alone for several years before we met so he knows how to take care of himself (toilet paper, laundry, towels). He knows he married a woman, not a housekeeper.

He was born without the genes that attract other men to bachelor parties and football games. He's a professional cook, too, and likes to shop! Best of all: he's congenitally unable to lie, about anything. :clap2:

It'll be 11 years for us in June, and I have never once thought he was weird. I am the luckiest woman in the world! :kiss2: :kiss2: :biggrin1:

I was in the garage getting the long extention cord out to hook to the shop vac. He told me he was going to have to teach me how to unroll the extention cord!

Betty ~ my idea of unrolling the exten. cord is taking it off the hook and dropping it on the floor. My guts busted on this one.... b/c Ive heard it myself.

Mike chews tobacco. He stands over the trash can to insert this crap in his mouth. When he's finished, there is tobacco ALL over the floor around the trash can.

Guess what he does? Swipes it with his foot and walks away.

...and whats the deal with guys and remote controls?

Hey Paul, do you know about fainting goats? When they are scared or nervous they tense up and fall over, it is a riot to watch. I will try to fint the exact name of them and see if I can find a video clip of them falling over, just a riot...~Mandy

Actually, even as a guy I've found some 'man' habits more than wierd and repulsive. I think the tip top on my list is the good old "farmer blow".

It goes like this:

At a red light, come to a complete halt in accordance with the law (though if you can terrify the granny in the civic infront of you, please do so).

Open your truck door. Note this only works in trucks, preferrably a beaten up '80s chevvy.

Apply one finger to the side of your nose, lean out the door and blow sharply. Repeat the process with the other nostril, if necessary.

If chew is also a factor, please feel free to spit the juice, as close to the car next to you as possible.

Please note, the possession of testosterone, does not automatically equate to abhorant behavior.

And I did see that about the inflatable sheep Delarla, as a matter of fact I have given those as a gift myself. When a friend from New Zealand left a company I used to work for, I gave him one inflated with helium on a ribbon. It bobbed merily around the ceiling. If you've never tried it. Do so. You could tow it behind the ride for many amused looks (and a really interesting ticket from the first cop you meet).

I *KNEW* there was something weird about you!!!!

Tho I can't point and laugh too much....my man has thing about monkeys. He *loves* monkeys. He was recently on a business trip to Japan and took a VERY long train to get to that place where the monkeys sit there in the hot springs with the snow all around. He keeps sending me the link to a webcam of that place......yeah, I just don't get it......

And HEY Dawg, I thought you weren't looking!!!!!!! Dang boys, they just don't follow instructions!!!

Wonky? I like that!

You may have it and use it in good health!! Anytime I can spread my bastardization of the english language, I'm all good!

I am in a relationship for the last few months and its mostly good except for things like:

He is a 29 year old man who thinks farting is fuuny.

Burping is too.

Spending a thousand dollars on the latest xbox is fine, but buying Cereal that isn't on sale is unheard of.

He likes cute lingerie. Ok, so I must wear sexy lingerie to get sum... aren't I enough?!?! Damnit, it's ME that he touches and plays with, not my undies! And they come off anyway. *sigh*

He's not too bad though, just a little odd. And he has a secret affair with super spicy foods.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
