Explain your name on LBT...



Recommended Posts

Now some things are obvious Debbie1993 has to be a Debbie born in 1993. Bandedforever loves the band (sorry if someone actually has that name... not picking on anyone). But some names are off the wall. How did you choose your name?

I'll go first:

Origin of Poodles: I am a big LOTR geek. Was a Miriel at one time but was turned into a Poodle during an online game by a wizard. (Yes I am a geek) My so called "friend" said I was hyper and annoying like a Poodle, so everyone started calling me Poodles. The "Tricksy" was added as an adjective, because I made excellent moves in the game (I assume). My hubby says it kinda sounds like a porn star name. I have had it for so long now, I just keep it... because I am a little hyper and annoying. The hot pink is just me. Funny thing is I have a Schnauzer and a Mutt. I don't really care for Poodles.

Ok now... PlunderBunny... Vinesqueen and the rest... fess up, how and why do you have your name...

I have been called Ms.Vicki by everyone I'v known since the the 70's (Tiny Tim's Miss Vicki, for those of you that remember).

Funny, even people I just meet that do not know my knickname call me Ms. Vicki. Maybe its a respect thing. The kids in my Sunday School class call me Ms. Vicki too.

Mines probably pretty obvious...but like Poodles I am a HUGE LOTR fan (the theatre production in Toronto is spectacular, btw!!!) ever since I first picked up Tolkien in grade 6 (1976!!!). Anyways, I digress....I am also a very loyal Star Wars Fan. I was a goner the first time Hans Solo came into view on that big screen (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh... :P :P :P:):D:) *snaps out of it*)....I still have the entire collection of trading cards from all the movies, I have a life size cut out of Hans Solo in my garage (my husband made me move him out of the bedroom!!!) which sometimes scares the hell out of me when I come into the garage at night..."omigawd, there's a thug in the garage....oh wait...tis merely my lovely Hans).. Yes, and how does this relate to Yoda...well I must say that Yoda has always been one of my fave characters and he is a ROCKIN' fighter and is the best jedi around! (yes, I do realize jedis don't actually exist...ahem!). Plus, lets face it...Yoda is damn cute, even though he is kinda green & he has a tiny light sabre!!!! (but he beats Kermit anyday!!). As well, a few yrs ago, a friend started calling me Yoda because she kept commenting on how good my advice was and saying that I was "wise beyond my years" etc etc.....Okay, I'll stop now..otherwise I'll go on forever. Sidenote: I'm fortunate enough to have met and married my soulmate, who loves Star Wars (& LOTR) even more than me!!!! Yes...tis possible!!!!

Can't wait to hear some of your stories.

:)

Bubbyville -

Bubby is the pet name that my DH and I have called each other since we started dating almost 17 yrs ago. We started with "Buddy" but that isn't the term one would like to be called when you are dating someone. So we changed it slightly and "Bubby" definately fits us!!

Our first house was in the country right outside an uncorporated town called Bussyville. (several times a year they have to fix that sign - kids enjoy painting a big P over the :) nice huh.

So, we decided that we lived in Bubbyville - population 2 (at the time- gosh, that was @ 15 yrs ago ).

It is something that we still call each other and are very proud that Bubbyville now has a population of 5!!

I know I am boring because I used my first name and my last name initial. There are so many Mary's in the world I have been called everything from Mary Ann to Mary Sue. I like Mary B the best, so that is me! I never had a nickname...except my niece and father-in-law called me Murney...but it didn't stick. Oh and I am the _itch of the family, so that fits too with the Maryb

Well, what can I say - our whole family loves archery. We even have an archery range in the back yard.

And to top it of we all are HUGE LOTR fans- we even have the prototypes of the Legolas elvenbows (and they have been shot- have a very acurat aim too)! WHOO HOO.

      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.
