It's amazing! :mad:

I've changed my sig because my numbers tell only a small part of the story. Today I went shopping and found that I'm in a new size range, yet again. THIS is a whole new one, for me, that I've NEVER worn as an adult. :confused:

HOOOOOOOOO-WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

:banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

The size is 50X50 pixels...

alexandra-

i still buy tall in pants because otherwise they are to short! i have also been wearing alot of dresses! then i dont have to worry about it!

Oh you guys are so funny acting like I know what a pixel is! I am anti-puter all the way. I chat, check messages, write some stuff, play a game, then run like hell away from the puter and all that frightening language!

Are you trying to tell me that I can post my picture "instead" of an avatar? If so, please help me like you'd help a toddler. Put the red block in the blue box. Bunch of smart people in here, I'm impressed!

Go to user cp at the top, click on edit options, at the bottom it says change avatar, scroll all the way down by you can upload a pciture from your computer, hit browse, find the folder that your picture is saved in, click on your picture and click open then save changes. If you need me to resize your picture to the correct pixel size, email it to me at kellymoos@aol.com and I will resize it and send it back to you. If you want both the pig and your picture then you have to do it in another program. Let me know what you want and I will do it for you if you would like. TTYL..

BTW, are you close to Ceasar's palace??? I want some perfume from there and can't seem to get it any other way then to go there and that is not where we are going on vacation this year or the next....

I live a few miles off of The Strip, so yes, I'm close to Caesar's. But I hate going to the casinos.... NOT! Hubby calls me

Gamble-ina or NickleFoFickle! But sorry, babe, I'm busy getting banded this weekend so you'll have to wait a lil more. But I'd be happy to get you some smelly stuff when I'm up & around again. Any ol' time, pally!

I used to live in Boulder City. (I used to live almost everywhere.)

I have been waiting for this long, a few more months surely won't hurt. I will be thinking of you during your surgery and thanking God it is not me. Glad I am banded....but, about your picture...want some help?

We recently spent a nice day in Bouler City. So peaceful there.

I think I understand how to post my face instead of an Avatar now. I may need Kellymoo help getting the picture that small though. I'll let you know. Did I tell u the stupid story of my sister, who just lost 60 pounds on diet pills? She's super skinny now. We took a couple family pics over the weekend of me, bro, & sis. She used her software to shave 60 pounds off me, then she e-mailed the pics to friends & family. Really ticked me off. She's so vain that she can't accept the fact that she's small, Fred's medium, Lance is large, and I'm little sis is triple X. I guess she's ashamed of me... to flippin' bad tho! Fat or thin, I'm still me! These last few hours at work today are going pretty slow, and my belly is growling on this liquid fast. I can do it, I know I can I know I can I know I can!

Hi Alexandra,

Sorry the post is late, been working lots of overtime. I can't wait to start buying clothes, trying them on and finding I need a smaller size. How exciting for you!!! :cool: :cool: :cool: More inspiration for all of us newbies!! I found a great quote that works for the band. It made me think of you. "My advice is to go into something and stay with it until you like it. You can't like it until you obtain expertise in that work. And once you are an expert, it's a pleasure." It looks like you've become the expert and you have gotten to experience the pleasure. Can't wait to get to where you are!!!

Take Care,

Kathy

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for the nice words! And you know, there is a lot of truth to that saying. I just recently experienced such a turning point in my job.

About 4 years ago I entered the field of insurance brokering, specializing in small group health insurance. It's actually pretty complicated work, and until recently I always felt a little out of my league. (And that's saying something, since in case it's not obvious from my posts I have a pretty high opinion of my own intelligence. :cool: )

I was getting very frustrated, was unhappy and irritable, at odds with my colleagues, and seriously thinking about starting again in some new field. But suddenly things all turned around just recently and I now am at ease and even enjoying my work.

The reason, I think, is that I was given a substantial raise for no particular reason. That's nice, of course, but even more than the money what was appreciated was the message. My bosses are telling me they have confidence in and respect for my abilities. So suddenly I do too, and in that newfound confidence I can find pleasure in my work where none existed before.

It's so true! :cool: :cool: :D
