:confused: My daughter when in high school was discussing discipline in schools and she said she supported bringing back Capital punishment to the schools.

Yeah .....Me too, Tee Hee!

Corporal punishment maybe!

This is great and full of laughs!! :dance:

I had an employee working for me that said she had been reincarnated. I asked her how she knew. I quote, "How do you think I did so well in History?" I about rolled on the floor right then and there. This has stuck with me for years!!

My family belived that if you were old enough to ask then you were old enough to know, the only diffrence is my grandfather was a trendseter when it came to wives tales. I once asked grandpa, what are wisdom teeth? he was kind enough to explain to me that wisdom teeth were when your brain became so large from all you were learning from school that it pushed your teeth right out of your head, and when you got them that ment you were finished with school.

I belived this for years, and well it might explain why I dropped out of school in the 10th grade..=):confused: :faint:

Here's another one:

My husband (who is chef) was at work and one of the young gals that started working there asked him to make her a poached egg (for her breakfast). He said..."sure, go and get me an egg". So, she came back and handed him a hard-boiled egg. He said, "you do know this is hard boiled right"? She said, "yes...please poach it for me". OIY!!!! My hubby just shook his head and went and got an egg.

Hmmm however (& not this shows MY stupidity...but in my defense, I think I was just tired and not thinking clearly that day!). My husband and I were driving along and we passed a farm field with a bunch of cows in it. I saw a couple of grey ones and said, "look those cows are grey" (don't see many grey ones). And my husband said, "ya, poor things...that just means their old". I nodded in agreement and said, "ya, I guess". Then after a few mins I smacked him and said, "that's not why they were grey!". He howled about that one for days. The bugger.

Hello, this is Mr. Yoda, (Yoda's DH). She was showing me this thread and I now feel compelled to share this one with you. One day we were at the grocery store looking to buy a dessert and my wife (Yoda) saw a blueberry coffee cake. I noticed her looking at it and I mentioned that we should buy it as I know how much she likes blueberries. She looked appalled and said, "oh no, I wouldn't like that". I said, "but you loooove blueberries; it would be yummy". And she said, "but you KNOW I don't like coffee, so why would I like this...it's a coffee cake". (Yoda has never drank coffee and maintains that she hates it; even the smell). Looking at her, in total disbelief for a moment... absorbing what she had just said, I began to giggle. "Whaaaaat???", she asked. Grinning, I asked her if she thought that coffee cake really was made with coffee. Totally serious, she said, "yes, of course, it is COFFEE cake" (as if I was the idiot!). Laughing seriously out loud now I proceeded to educate her about the true nature of coffee cake. (in other words it is called coffee cake, as it is the "style" of cake that typically one would have with coffee!). I'm still not convinced that she believes me (especially after the grey cow episode). However, you should know that we did buy the blueberry coffee cake and she loved it!!! It is now one of her favourites...(but she still hates coffee).

Just wanted to share. That'll teach her to allow me to use her password and come on here!! MMMMMWWWAAAAAAHHHHhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *evil laughter*

Mr. Yoda :kiss :kiss :kiss

Yoda ~ I would like to be a fly on your wall for just a day. :confused: I bet there would be many stories to tell. :heh: It sounds to me like you and you DH have a lot of fun together and you know they say laughter if good for the soul. Tell you DH we enjoyed his story and for him to feel free to post any time......also enjoyed yours just as well.

I'm too sleepy right now, but perhaps I can come up with more tomorrow. :notagree Night!!

hehe, i thought of another one.......this isn't exactly a stupid thing some one shared, but more like yoda's thing.

I told my sister one night to set out some chicken for lunch the next day. (what I meant was for her was to take it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge.)

sooooooooo....the next day I'm looking for the chicken and there is no chicken in sight in the fridge...so I ask her where its at. She had put it on top of the fridge...she said that way the cats wouldn't get it.,.....:faint:

(I guess she thought I wanted her to leave it on the counter, but the cats can jump there and they might have tried to nibble at it....so logically she just put it some place higher where they couldn't get... I guess it never occurred to her that leaving raw meat out overnight could be baaaaaaaaad.)

One day over lunch with mum and dad we got round to discussing Bond films (don't remember why). Dad wondered if real spys got to do anything half as exciting as James' antics and mum pipes up "Ooooh yeah, just think of all the great jobs they get to do at MFI"

She couldn't understand why we fell about laughing...

MFI is a UK national furniture store!

I think she meant MI5!

Well you learn something new every day. I would have thought coffee cake meant coffee flavoured cake too.

Why thank you Jachut!!! I will be sure Mr. Yoda sees your post!!! LOL.

3Loves....ooooh, you have nooo idea the laughs we have. You are absolutey correct, DH & I have a blast together and we are each other's best friends. Hmmmm mind you some may say we are still in the honeymoon stage being married for only 5 yrs (and each is better than the last). (sorry, couldn't resist making the "honeymoon" comment!).

Anyways...I have another REALLY good one for you. My Sister-in-Law (SIL) was having some pain in the area...hmmm....how can I put this...in the area between her butt-hole and her "hoo-hoo". So she was telling her husband about it (who is my DH's brother....) and she told him she had a Dr's appointment the next day but didn't know how to describe to the doctor where the pain was. Her husband said...just tell him that your "t'aint" is sore. She said, "huh"...and he explalined to her that the actual name of that part of the body is the "t'aint". So, she was really happy that there was an actual name for it so that she wouldn't be embarassed or feel stupid explaining to the doc. where the pain was; she could just say "t'aint". Well apparently she was also so impressed by the fact that she had this new knowledge she told all her friends the term and YES...at the dr. she kept using the word "t'aint". Later she said he gave her an odd expression but didn't say anything. So...later that night (after the appt) she is talking to her husband telling him about the appt. and using the word "t'aint". Her DH was laughing his arse off and he said "you didn't really call it a "t'aint" to the doc did you? And she said yes...you said that is what it is called. Well, once he was able to speak after rolling around on the floor holding his gut from laughing so hard he said, "ya...it t'aint your arsehole and it t'aint your hoo-hoo, it's somewhere inbetween".

Needless to say his wife was absolutely mortified!!!!!!

True story.

Yes, I married into a warped family indeed! Mind you it helps make my screwed up one look semi-normal so it is kinda a blessing in disguise!!!!

:confused: :party:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      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. 💜

      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!
