So you know that it could be say that "care takers" are the most obsese people in the nation. That would lend itself to a Democratic landslide. Let's see how this plays. I'm one of the few lone democrats in Texas! It gets lonely down here. :confused:

Im right there with ya Barbara. My husband is a Conservative Republican and Im well pretty liberal Democrat. So needless to say we have some INTERESTING Conversations in our house. Once during one of our " Debates" our Cousin was over and he looked at us and said " How in the HELL Did you 2 end up together you have NOTHING in common " LOL

We are few and far between in Texas.

I think this poll may be skewed.

Many Republicans are ashamed to admit it because George W. has his foot perpetually in his mouth

and

Many Republicans think that George W. has become too liberal. :faint:

Have you ever heard of James Carvell and Mary Matalin?

They are married. During their marriage:

He was the presidential campaign manager for Bill Clinton.

She was the presidential campaign manager for George H. W. Bush.

And during the same election, no less.

If they can make it, no one in the world has an excuse for divorce.

I discussed that with a Jehovah's Witness in early 2001.

He doesn't have the silvery tongue. :faint:

George W. BuSh as a great orator? :confused:

I AM ashamed of the liberalness of Bush!! I am conservative- Im not sure it falls cleanly into a party.

I do not support the democrat bigger government, increase taxes so we can have more social programs, give out more money to sit on your ass theory.

But I do believe in abortion for all purposes other than birth control, and the womans right to choose. Stop supporting illegal immigrants who do not pay into the system.

In the end it really doesnt matter which party you vote for since the person you elect doesnt seem to listen to constituents they do what they damn well please.

Ready for the flames since Im the miniority in this poll.:confused:

I don't mind social programs, I think they are necessary. We need a good business person who can keep the money actually going constuctively to causes and not into the great abyss of beurocrats, and able bodied slackers.

Its funny because I come from a family of very meager means. My father grew up in a household with a singe (working) mother of 11 children.. her husband ran off. So my dad's survival depended on social programs. And then my dad was a very proud man who would never ever abuse the system and my entire life we paid for everything and he never missed a day of work. But he was a definite democrat.

Now I've acheived more monitairily than he did, probably due to his good example and work ethic, and im starting to think more along fiscally conservative lines lol. I would never want to admit this to my dad! LOL, but when you have more money its hard to see such a huge chunk of it going to uncle sam.. Especially when its to fund a civil war in Iraq! And to give the Ultra-rich oil money rich people big tax breaks. Grrr.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
