P.S. sarry about the spelling

Mer...

I constantly have to remind myself to stay out of the "plus" department, it's SO amazing to shop in the "normals", but the choices are overwelming. I've been so long in teh "pluses" and the very few choices that offers, that having the entire store open to me is scary!!!

Sue

Yes...let's walk!

Carol...

Sound like you are pasting it into the message box. If so, your pasting to the wrong place. Go to the top of this page, click on the UserCP (User control panel) then click on Edit Signiture. At the bottom, below where you can customize the signiture you will see a box that says option 1 this is where you paste your ULR, then click save signiture.

Hope that works.

Sue

well I did that and it said it was an invalid url.. grrrrrrrrrrrr will give up for now..Carol

OK, one last thing to try...did you try all the different options on the ticker factory page, try copy/paste each of the options bbcode...HTML...ezCode. Oh, and I think I said to past to the "options" box, but you should paste to the "your signiture:" box. I don't remember which ticker code we're supposed to use, just try them all, and you might try closing your browser and reopening as you try each one, sometimes re-opening the page will help.

That's my last guess :faint: ...worth a try

Sue

Boy, liquids sure don't satisfy. Had a fill yesterday, so I'm trying to stay on liquids today like a good girl. I feel full fairly quickly, but it sure doesn't last long, and I realy want to chew something...how did I do this for 7 weeks? 2 days and I'm whining!

Sue

Sue - sounds like Carol is having the same trouble I was. Remember that you finally had to do it from your office for me. I'm not sure if there is some kind of block on our computers but I was getting the same message as Carol is.

Carol - Have someone try it from a different computer. They will have to use your password to get in to your page but once Sue set mine up I was fine.

Hey there, Wendy!

Nice to see you here today!!!!! Wanna walk sometime today?

Mer

Hey if you're going to walk give me a call, it's so hard to motivate when it's cold out, I enjoy walking outside so much more than indoors, but I get cold so easily

Sue

I was gone all day but I met my kids at the doctors and it turns out they are having a baby girl !!!!!!! Can't wait to go shopping now that I know. This is gonna be sooooo fun!

I think I am painting tomorrow but I will be at the Y first for my workout Sue so don't even think of giving me an excuse . . .

I'm driving up to the outlet malls of north for the weekend on Friday so I'll see you next week.

Just an update here... I was banded on Oct 30th and doing well. I feel pretty good considering. I've lost 16lbs since the surgery (2 weeks ago) and Im seeing Dr Srikanth today for my first postop follow up. I was very impressed with him and St Francis - I was very well taken care of!

Well, it'a 12:50 and I'm trying to "wind-down". Mer...you'd be proud of me, i gave my sewing machine a work out tonight. I decided to cut out my pieces for a window seat cushion I'm recovering, but now I remember why I tend to stay away from these projects...I obsess until I'm done. I just finished zipping it on...all done (thanks for all the great tips, Wendy). Hopefully I can sleep now. I tend to approuch projects the way I used to approach food, keep at it until it's all done!

By the way, all done for my appetite is alot less since my fill on Monday. Today I learned the danger (and pain) of Costco samples. I had to make a quick decision if I should run for the bathroom, or the car, of course with a cart full. I made it to the car, barely. I've PB'ed before, but not like this...I very nearly lost it in the parking lot!!! YUCK!

Lesson Learned!!!

Sue

Sue - Welcome to my world . . .

By the way, good job on the cushions!

So sorry!! The Costco story made me smile!! After three fills, have yet to PB, but have had some samples at Costco that I shouldn't have!!

I am pre-op for Dec. 4th. Dr. Hunter is my surgent for Virginia Mason.

Hey Sue, good going on the cushion.....I'm so proud! I'm that way, too. Can't stop until it's done. Sorry to hear about the costco sample. I did that once, too.....a Pasta I think. Hurled my guts out in the back parking lot.....argh

Wendy girl! A baby girl grandbaby!!!! WOO HOOOO!!! That is so exciting. Girls are so fun to SHOP for!

James! Welcome to the club, dude!!!! It's the best thing any of us have done for ourselves. Finally an answer!

Jen! You are doing well!!!! 25 pounds, I see. Very cool! Make sure you are drinking a LOT!

WE are up in Toronto, Canada through Tuesday. Can;t remember if I told you all. Dave did a seminar Saturday, we are visiting family Sunday and then he'll be seeing potential clients on Monday and part of Tuesday. Missing my doggies.....

Can't wait to see you all at support group next Monday. BTW, Rachel met with Laura herself for her nutrition appointment. Very cool. If she's up to it, I'll DRAG her to the meeting next week. LOL We'll see how tough she is...I told you guys she was out with me shoe shopping WAY too soon after her tummy tuck. I think she's learned her lesson, though.

ps, where's DAWN!
