Hey Karen! Hope you have a great time! Go Dale Jr! I really like Carl Edwards a lot, he seems just thrilled and appreciative to be where he is. The stories about him handing out business cards trying to find a ride make me like him even more.. That took guts. Anyway, enjoy and don't forget your LBT sign so we can see you from the stands! Safe travelling!

Dody and 3loves, if Tony is into chubby girls, he's all mine.... I'm not older than him, but I'm definitely chubbier! Actually, I've never seen any of his girlfriends, have you guys? I've seen his dogs and monkey, but no women. I've seen a couple of Dale Jr.'s and from the looks of things, he isn't going to be into a chubby girl from Tennessee. So I guess I'll "Settle" for Smoke! Just kidding ladies, don't want to start an online cat-fight! (Plus I have a couple of female relatives that I'd have to fight for him as well, blood is thicker than water!)

Dody - I don't know how good of friends Tony and Gordon are, but I do know that Tony didn't appreciate Martin holding them up and possibly causing them to wreck, so he punted him. Its got a lot to do with rookies not showing respect to the veterans, I think. I like Martin Truex, hated to see all that happen, but I guess you leard the hard way!

Missy - you don't have to apologize, I can see why you were feeling "ganged up on" or the "lone woman out". Don't be afraid to fire it back at us, we can take it! Besides I always enjoy your posts! You crack me up!

3loves - Tell your mom, that I think that its awesome that she has the life-size cut-out of Gordon.... does he come up to her belly button if she stands next to him? I'm sure she'll appreciate that!!

Glad you joined our thread Jeff! I've actually been through Dover before, saw the track (hard to miss!). Went antiquing at some of the shops along the highway there.. nice place. Was coming from Altantic City headed back to Tennessee (long story short, took the long way home in order to go over and through the Chesapeke Bay Bridge/tunnel). That was cool! Always glad to have another Nascar fan join our discussions.. Martin is from Jersey isn't he?

This has nothing to do with medicine but I've been instucted by Geezer Sue (she apparently is the spokesperson for Pleatman). We had a name for all our doctors. We had an RNY dr. we always referred to as Dr. Hack and Slash. I wonder what the nurses call Pleatman behind his back. This dr. I'm talking about was the only one for a long time that did RNY...not afraid to mention his name either it was Dr. Ediger, and someone always had to go in and fix a liver or something he had done damage to) that I need to put before each remark "I am not a doctor, nor do I know a thing about medicine". This being said I was a nurse for 38 years...go figure what childishness and pettiness on a board will get you.

No one is purposely dissing anyone else, and it's all about fun.

:) Speaking of Childishness and pettiness, I guess you can't call you talking about the Doctors behind their back childish or petty?

Even if you were a nurse for 38 years, if you pass misinformation along it should be corrected.

And I guess you aren't purposefully attacking Sue now are you?

Please, get over it. A woman your age acting like a child.

And before you go complaining about everyone attacking you, take a look in the mirror.

No offense guys, but your kinda hi-jacking our Nascar thread... maybe this stuff should be moved to another thread?? I don't wanna scare anyone away from this thread with nastiness and off-topic stuff... Its about NASCAR, not personal issues. Just my 2 cents worth.. again, not trying to offend anyone....

That would be my man Tony who is having trouble getting in and out that car window. I wonder what our hopes are of getting him into the lap banding thread...WOOHOO.

3Loves where are you finding the pics of the NASCAR numbers and pics of the cars that you are using for Avatars. NASCAR site? I couldn't find them. Thanks.:)

3Loves, it was you that had pictures wasn't it, or am I once more confused?

If I had a life sized pic of Tony I would need a room for it. Good thing Missy likes Gordon...she can just fold him up and put him in a small drawer:)

Hey Karen ~ We'll all be looking for that LBT sign!! I hope your getting along OK with your fill. Enjoy and have a super duper time!!

3loves - Tell your mom, that I think that its awesome that she has the life-size cut-out of Gordon.... does he come up to her belly button if she stands next to him? I'm sure she'll appreciate that!!

On my gosh Kim....you are too funny!! :heh: I'm almost afraid to ask her. She might come through the phone. I'll wait until I know she's in a good mood which is usually b4 race day if you know what I mean. Yup, I'm sure there would be a line of chubby girls waiting on Tony if he would say the word. A few years ago, he did have a girlfriend at the banquet. It may have been when he took his first championship. She was very thin. He was a bit thinner then too. :)

Hi DELRUD75 ~ Glad you stopped by. Be sure to come back after the race and let us know what you thought.

Doty ~ I have tons of pics that I've gotten from here and there. Tony has his own special folder on my hard drive. :rolleyes I just used one of the pics as my avatar. I didn't have to resize or anything. I can send you a PM with attachments....can you do that on a PM or does it have to be an e-mail? I'll check into that.

If I had a life size Tony, my king size bed would get smaller....oh yeah!!

fold him up and put him in a small drawer

Poor Gordon in the sock drawer, huh? :heh:

Missy will get mad at me for sticking Gordon in the sock drawer. She probably wants him in the lingerie drawer :)

If you want to e.mail me don't use the e.mail on here. I'm going to be in Tennessee so use Brooklynn108@hotmail.com. If I can't manage it myself my daughter is a computer whiz.

We are just going to have to share Tony, and at the rate he's going that won't be too difficult. That blond at the awards dinner didn't seem to last too long did she. He's still up for grabs I think. I missed the awards on TV this year...didn't see them listed and I kept looking. Were they on?

LOL at Tony in your king sized bed....too funny.

Got it....you may want to start pulling in e-mail so we don't bog it down. Your going to enjoy this. :biggrin1:

Yes, the awards were on this year. Can't remember the exact date. Nothing has ever been funnier though than when Tony took off his jacket and was wearing his HANS strap (is that what's it's called?). Did you see that one a few yrs ago?

Lingerie drawer....now there's an idea.

I saw the show where Tony was wearing the Hans device. He can have quite a sense of humor for sure. I love the way he speaks his mind...I really admire that in him. He has changed in the last yr. or so...lots calmer. I really think he is the best driver there is. He is just about always in the top 10. I look for him to come out on top this year too.

Pulling out of my e.mail and putting where? I'm talking to someone who is very computer literate and I'm dumb, dumb, dumb when it comes to computers. I can, however, ask me daughter to pull them....but put them where?:)

Darn...will you send them again. I just deleted by accident. I am an accident waiting to happen I think. I was clearing out the junk in there and was going to leave just the Tony stuff and deleted it all.....sorry.

What happened to Tony at qualifying? :cry It worries me a bit that he's starting in 40th on a track like Texas. Let's hope a big wreck doesn't happen b4 he gets to the front....that is if you a fan of Smoke. :biggrin1:

How about that IROC race? GO SMOKE!! Something in his car blew up during the burnout and the crowd chanted for him to climb the fence, which he did....YEAH!! I love it!! :clap2:

Has anyone seen Karen on TV? I wonder if she went to Trackside. We've been there in Daytona and it's a blast.

Doty ~ I'll send you an e-mail.

I've been doing nothing but packing and repacking for my upcoming trip to Tennessee on Monday, so I missed qualifying. Tony is starting 40th...hmmm wonder what is up. If anyone can work his way through traffic it is SMOKE, unless he just doesn't have the car to do it with. Gosh, I wish I had seen qualifying.

Did Tony have a beautiful blonde on his arm at this year's awards show 3loves? I'd like to scratch their skinny little eyes out :)

If you sent me those items again on Stewart thanks. I'll let my daughter take care of them this time for me. I also want her to make me a ticker tape because I don't have a clue how. I am computer illiterate. Thanks again. Can't wait for the race. Everything comes to a standstill while that's on...I don't answer phones or doors :D It's my own persona time with Tony :D and he doesn't even know it.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        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.
