WOW! I was going through withdarwals!:faint: I tried finding other forums, but none compare to this one :clap2: Our forum is THE best!:first: I am so glad you are All here! Thanks!:clap2:

I was seriously bumming, because both LBT and my other online hangout were down at the same time. I had to *gasp* actually WORK at work! It was horrible... :faint: :faint:

I was at work most of the time, so that helped, but hated not being able to get on before I left for work!

Because I am not "computer literate", I figured I was doing something wrong!! I even began reconfiguring my settings!! Thank goodness I was able to re-set everything back... but REALLY--I was going crazy without this group! Only a few days away from my Band Date, and I was afraid to lose you guys!! Thank you for coming back!!!:clap2:

karen, I thought my computer was the culprit!! I ended up trying on a different computer...sam result. I was worried it had been shut down!:faint:

I ventured over to two other discussion boards, but they were just too big and overwhelming. Very glad this one is back.

Has anyone noticed anything different now that we are up and running? I always got emails telling me if there was a new post on a thread I was on. Now I get nothing. I was getting the feeling that all threads stop after I post on them!! I have checked my settings and everything appears to be OK. Is that happening to anyone else?? Help!

Karen, same thing here. I guess we might need to reset our settings.

I tried that, everything is as it should be, but still no notification emails. :cry This is upsetting!! But at least we have our site back!

Are you getting really excited?? You have a lot to do as well as prepare for! You have a trip, a hospital stay, and then a week at your Mom's. Can you pack that much clothing??

Only a few more days until we are banded!! Are your bags packed?

Gosh no! Tomorrow I need to pack There is so much to take for all that time and so many things I need...I have to do a large suitcase! Oh boy!

You are brave----- and I know you will do just fine!! I will stop complaining about my 4-hour drive!! Good luck with getting all your stuff done!! We are almost there!

I have been so busy, I never even knew it was down. But, the big meeting I have spent a month preparing for is finally over and my schedule is back to normal, thank goodness. You can probably tell because I have been doing a lot of posting today.

I am really new to the site, and even I was already worried.

It is so easy to get addicted to this place.

You're right. It is nice, small, and friendly. Much easier to wade through than the other sites I've seen. I love reading everything. I feel like I am going to be super prepared when my surgery date comes around. You are all very informative.

Glad you're all back! I can breathe a sigh of relief now.

Hey, I might take you up on that. I've been thinking about doing some kind of needlework in the evenings while watching TV, just to keep me from snacking. I don't have much faith, though, in my ability to produce anything wearable! I guess I could at least make the little afghan squares.

Thanks for the idea!
