Happy May Everyone!

It's cold as heck here, the wind blowing in off the Water, freezing. I went to my beach house this weekend, the Water was churning like there was a hurricane going on, as far as you could see out, nothing but white caps and white water, and it was cold there too.

I've got so many flowers to pot and it's too dang cold to do it.

The pic is from a cell phone, modern tech, see where he gets his cheeks from....

So...NJ Chick..you'll be back later...after you go outside to ???? LOL

Pat, our family is blessed with chipmunk cheeks, too. So cute! That's a great picture.

Darcy, Sorry about Ava's trouble. I hope it gets better. My dog had a short episode of that. The neighbor kid hurt him and scared him, so he would lunge at him and his sister. So we had them feed him treats every time they came near. There was never another episode of agression. I hope yours works out so well. Thanks for the very pretty picture. I wish I could smell them.

We are having chilly but sunny days here. It's a big relief from our months of rain. I should go for a walk. Maybe I will. :)

Hello, everyone!

Pat, I'm so glad you reminded us to move over here to the May chat...I swear I have lost most of my brain somewhere...anyone seen it? Love the picture of your gbaby. Both of you are adorable!

Darcy, the hyacinths are gorgeous. Great photgraphy, too!

Eileen, how's it shakin? I don't think we say that about May, even in East Texas! But it's funny....I don't even like to EAT outside....

Okay, ya'll know about my speeding ticket in Oklahoma...well, I paid it, but apparently I was supposed to pay it in March, not April...so Friday I got a letter saying thank you for the check for your fine, but you didn't appear in court in March, so we have a warrant for you and that'll be $530, bend over and say thank you. I've made calls, and that's the way it is. No leeway for honest mistakes in N. Enid, OK. I have kids that break into houses and pay less than that. This rant could continue for many more sentences, but I think you get the idea. Oh, the original fine was $150, so all in all, it cost me $680 dollars to go 15 miles over the 35 mph speed limit for that one block.

OH, HI, Becky! Wanna make sure to welcome you here! (there is no connection between the above paragraph and this greeting!)

Got to buy a few new clothes yesterday...that was pretty fun.

Otherwise, busy with DD and not even home most of this weekend, so that's why I didn't stop by. Hope everyone is doing well, and getting along. Hugs to everyone, Cindy

I swear I am losing it today! Since I was one of the S L O W people today I posted on the April chat, even though dang, where is everyone at? DUH!

So, I am just copying my post here!:) :) :rant:

Hello Y'all!

Sneaking in here for just a minute, my show Prison Break is on shortly and I can't miss it!

I have to tell you that I have stayed on my diet all day (so far)! They even had chocolate cake with vanilla icing with carmel dripped all over it at work! They brought me a piece, I told them no, then here come another gal with another piece for me! Yikes! I was strong and said "no thanks".

I had to go to the ear specialist today, he thinks it is swimmers ear, but wants me to have a hearing test. He said before he became a doctor, he had the same symptoms and it was an inner ear infection. Hmmmmmm, I told him if the insurance paid for it I would, but otherwise I couldn't. He gave me some nose spray and ear drops. So, here I go with the drops again!

Kat - I rode behind DH about a week or two out, it didn't hurt me one bit. I didn't ride my harley for 3 or 4 weeks though. I wanted to make sure I was good and healed up. You brought back memories for me with the May baskets, we used to do the same thing when I was young! You made me smile!

Darcy - You're right, it just isn't the same w/o a fire! We use to keep ours going 24/7 while we were up there. Of course on the weekend, it wasn't 7! You are doing great with not smoking, I am really proud of you. I know how hard it is. Just remind yourself that when you get the urge that it will be over in just a few minutes. Hugs!

Well, going to run, the show is almost on and they are supposed to do the break tonight!

Later!

Hey Cindy - Boy I bet you'll never forget to pay another ticket! Talk about sticking it to you! Court costs my a$$! All they do is take it into the judge and he signs it! Whoopie Dee! Sorry you had to pay so much!

Becky - Did you get your walk in? Glad to see you came back today!:)

Darcy - Love the picture, they are some of my favorite spring flowers! Boy do they smell good!

Pat - How sweet! He is just precious!

Mary - It's hot here, maybe that is a good excuse for me not going for a walk!:) :rant: :)

Eileen - Now that song will be stuck in my head forever! I'll probably be singing it all night long! ROFLMAO!

Hey to Sherry, Anne, Donna, Dianne, Paula, Beanie, Patty (already said hi to Kat on the April thread) and whoever else I missed.

I'm watching the Mavs now, gotta run!

Hey Jersey Peeps... what's happening, Yo LOL leftovers from the teens!

So, oops hold on.........................OK. Just had to go Yak! Like you really needed to know that! Putting away leftovers and I don't know what came over me to put that peice of pork n my mouth and then to swallow it!!!!! Well, It may have had gone down, but it was a sh0rt visit.

So, DH and I went to his end of the year luncheon for H & R Block. Afterwards we went to the mall so I could get my favorite lotion. He normally doesn't come with me. We are walking around and I see the Chico's store. I have never shopped there because I didn't fit in their clothes. We went in and talked to the sales woman and she asigned me a sales person. So, this is where it starts to get out of hand. She takes me to a dressing room and starts bringing me clothes... AND THEY ARE FITTING.

Now I like nice things, but I don't buy anything that isn't on sale. I keep trying things on... I like them, she keeps bringing me more. This is like me eating at a buffet.... why stop when there are still clothes in the store.

I pick out a few "things", go the register to check out. IT WAS $602.00!!!! WHAT THE F###! I never even checked the prices... I left the store, DH was waiting for me outside and said oh good you got a few things!!!! I said not for long... they are all going back tomorrow.! I was literally in a state of shock. Not that they cost that much , that I went into a trance or something. Hell, I'll blame it on PMS... my husband blames everything else on it LOL

Yesterday DH asked to see the stuff and I showed him.... He told me to keep one outfit because I have done so well with my weight loss... I am taking the rest back. One shirt and one crop pants... $198. Now I need somewhere nice to where it! LOL

So, Happy Monday to you all,

I'll check in later or tomorrow.

Kisses

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
