Where are my Flirty Thirties?



Recommended Posts

I'm 36 and live in Atlanta. My surgery is Aug. 31 -- in 13 days!

Is anybody else out there hoping to be done "cooking" (losing weight and getting tucked) in time for their 20th high school reunion? I'm just two years away from that, and I hope I'll be pretty close.

I'm hoping to be done "cooking" before my 35th class reunion in 2011. (Yes, I'm OLD)

No because my next reunion is my 35th HS reunion. I'm old too! :001_tt2:

Bahaha... same boat here. I didn't even think about the fact that my 20th HS reunion is a year or two away. Just had my surgery a week ago and at 1-2lb/week, I'll be at goal weight by the time that rolls around. Sweet!! Thanks for giving me something to look forward to!

I'm 38, but always say I'm 29! Most people think I'm much younger so it works. =)

Ive turned 29 for 4 years...it is amazing that my youngest son who is 9 believes it every year. My older son, the no-nonsense guy, just rolls his eyes each year...he figured it out the second year hehe. He is 11 now.

Anybody else remember flannel, flirting with the tabs from soda cans, and Doc Martens? :thumbup:

Ohhhh geez talk about memories ! ! ! I'm 33 now, class of '95, and it's so funny to see trends that I wore in middle and high school coming back with a vengeance.

I was at my son's school yesterday for our PTA board meeting, and there were girls wearing converse all-star shoes with thick (like 2 inch) neon pink and neon green shoelaces, seriously? ? ?

Remember tapered leg jeans? Now, they're back, and skinny jeans are in as well. But, I actually saw a few kids wearing tapered leg jeans. I thought "EEEKKKK it's me 20 years ago."

I think I'm just going to start counting back the years now.

I think I saw something in a recent fashion mag that, without irony, gave tips on how to wear the grunge look but make it hip and fresh!:001_tongue:

More mid 90's stuff: I wore dark dark red lipstick that I painstakingly lined and filled in, my friends were always complaining about the time it took me to do my lips. of course the rest of my face was super pale. What else ... friends used Kool-Aid to dye their hair ... most of the boys hair was as long or longer than a lot of the girls ... and long before Twilight the hottest thing at the movies was Brad Pitt as an anguished vampire with luscious, luscious lipsss ...:( Or Brad Pitt as the tortured WWI veteran in the wilds of Montana ... :drool: Gawd what his butt did to a pair of chaps ...

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
