Hi everyone!!

I just thought I would "check in"...And ty Vegas Angel for letting everyone know I got computer problems.

My oldest son is back in town and I asked if I could borrow his lap top, so here I am!!:001_tongue:

But am trying to figure this thing out!! LOL

Got a question for everyone- I've bought 3 computers- all HP's........ and I have been thinking of getting a MAC... does anyone here use one> I;ve heard good things about MAC's as far as viruses, updates, etc. being a good thing and just having to learn how to use one.... And then I have heard things like they are too expensive, and the softwear you have to get from them etc.

Would just like to take my own lil survey here if anyone has a MAC if they like it???

I hope Santa is good to me and can find me something!!:thumbup1:

I know I don't want a lap top.......... I like my desk top.... and don't have the funds for both!!! ( would be nice tho! )

Anyway- finnally off work for 2 days but have to work the holiday and the day after etc..

I would like to wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving..... I know I have plenty to be thankful for this year..... and one of the things I am thanful for is finding all you wonderful friends here at VST!!

Hugs to all!!

Chancie

Chancie -

My brother SWEARS by the Mac - that is all they have in their household and it's true, they're never bothered by viruses. The IT guy at our office likes Mac as well, for the same reasons.

My desktop was a computer that my ex-husband built, and now I have an Acer laptop - I gave the desktop to my daughter-in-law and only use the laptop.

I saw in the paper today that on Friday morning from 5 am-11 am Wal-Mart is going to have an e-machine laptop for $198; of course, I'm sure there will be a line a mile long.

I hope Santa is good to you this year too!

Wishing you a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving, and giving thanks, too, that we've become "friends".

Windows 7 is giving Mac a run for its money, I hear. And, Macs cost more too. Friday is going to be crazy! Search the ads on Thursday, I bet you can find super deals.

I have been drooling over the macs for a while. I really, really want one. Unfortunately, it is not in the budget right now. I think I am going to get Windows 7 this weekend and get it on all of our laptops.

Chancie, I will put in a good word to Santa for you!

Chancie, I have a night shirt for you. It is red with big white letters saying: "wait santa I can explain" hahahaha

anyway, I love my lap top. Dell. and I have the dreaded Vista program. I have a desk top. HP. But just love the lap. ?? I am going to get an external mouse for the lap. Used one on my friends lap and made a huge difference in ease of operation. My friend carries this ex-mouse in a pink jeweled baggie like a cell phone. Too funny. I won't take it that far, but I am getting one.

In my area we have computer fairs once a month at the local fair grounds. great place to pick up a used lap. Great computer guys there also. Check your local College for deal referrals.

Sorry you have to work the holidays. We will be thinking of you, and praying you have a peaceful holiday anyway.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
