OMG You live by a Michaels ! If I was so lucky it would be like I died and went to heaven. I have to go to Deluth to find one. I love all their beads. I am addicted to making bracelets / necklaces.

our fudge that we make is from chocolate and condensed milk, not sugar so it is very creamy.

Mmmmm creamy fudge:hungry: . Actually Michaels is about 35 minutes from my place, which is good, if it were any closer, that would be dangerous!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Mmmmmm, homemade fudge!!! My Grampa left me his recipe for his homemade fudge. I tried to make it about 20 years ago, and it flopped. My Gramma told me he used a slab of marble and beat the livens out of it? Apparently that is the secret. As soon as I find out what that meant, I'll try it again. :)

I think I know what it means. When my mom made fudge, after it reached the right temperature, she would put the pot in a sink of cold Water making sure the water would not get in the pot, then she would stir like crazy. The fudge would cool quickly and as it cooled and as she stirred vigorously, she added butter. The consistency of the liquid would gradually thicken and change to a slightly lighter color. I think the slab of marble was how the fudge was cooled. So if you do not have the slab of marble, try cold water. Let me know if you try it

Okay funny/not-so-funny Hallowe'en storey.

Okay so I drive a school bus. Before I left my house tonight I was really thirsty and had no Water bottles left so I grabbed a green gator-aid. So I pull into the school around 3:15. My bus is the bus that sits right in front of the doors. I am sitting there and I take off the lid, cause I'm really thirsty and I don't want to just suck it threw that stupid little hole on top. So I guzzle down about 2 mouthfuls, and by the third mouthful, my mouth is full and I cannot swallow, I'm stuck. So I thought I'd just sit there for a minute with my cheeks full of gator-aid and wait it out, then swallow. So Five minutes go by, still stuck. All of a sudden I realize I'm gonna slime. I have 2 kleenex's left , not enough to catch what's coming up, let alone what's still in my mouth. There are parents sitting in cars all around me so I can't leave my bus. So I try to aim for the empty kleenex box, but that dosent even catch it all, all the time kids could show up at my door any minute. So this flouresent green slime comes pouring out of my mouth in true hallowe'en style!!!!!!!! I had 2 kleenex's to try to get the rest of the mess.

I thought fellow bandsters would appreciate this sliming episode, ironically on halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, something weird is going on around here!!!!!

I posted a whole lotta stuff here the other day and now it's gone. I even sent a 9,000 page pm to mandi and there's no record of it.

I'm sure I posted here yesterday to tell you all that I was going to Dr. Cobourn's on Monday for a fill. If any of you's guys see that anywhere, do you wanna let me know. I feel like I'm losing it. As for the PM Mandi, forget it, it wasn't really important and I'm not typing it all again, LOL.

So ya, fill on Monday!!!

Apparently the server was down yesterday, lots of pple were complaining about posts getting lost on other boards.

9,000 page pm? maybe that's what made the server crash!:)

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
