You all thanks so much for sweet thoughts about Christopher. My daughter now GETS IT. That special bond between a son and his mother.She and I will fight the girls off him, no heartbreakers! ((smiles))This:Originally Posted by PrtyAntOvrYt Brandy, I posted it, but I hated doing so!My UGBF (upgraded boyfriend) - told me that he's fallen in love with me. He says he loves everything about me. In October, we are going to spend some time together. I'm looking forward to it. He says, I won't know how much he loves me until we are together in person.Sigh -- heavy sigh~...................We're dropping like flies in love here. Crazy crazy. Well congrats on the upgrade.I love reading all these life moments that are happening.

Thanks Lapdancer!

It is nice to be in Love!

It makes the entire world brighter!!!

If I were you, I'd be giving that baby lots of extra kisses! My brother hated me when he was a baby! I was 10 years old when he was born and I used to kiss him constantly! Eventually, it became a punishment, "If you don't pick up your toys, Dee Dee is going to kiss you!" Boy did that little toddler run to pick up his toys! He's in his 30's now and I still feel like kissing him! He's just so cute!

Dee-I think it's so cute that you're all in love like a schoolgirl...Awww!!

Brandy & Shelbi-Hey buddies! Good to hear from both of you!

Mal-I am also sending extra catch up prayers for your sons friend. How scary!! It sounds like he is going to be lucky though, it could have been much worse than it was.

Mini-Give Gracie some kisses and hugs from all of us! Her kennel cough will be gone before you know it. Are her and Keeley getting along well?

Lap-I cannot begin to tell you how much I adore the pic of the munchkin smiling...so adorable!! Yup, he's going to have the girls chasing after him for sure!:biggrin:

Sorry folks, I don't have much to say tonight. I had a momentary lapse of reason and went in to work extra Monday night in the unit I keep getting floated to. It was actually not a bad night. I ended the morning by getting a 22 year old that was passed out in a bar parking lot and someone ran him over. Yup, you heard me right. He had a nice tire track from his nipple line all the way to his naval. And he only had a broken finger. Can you believe that? :thumbup: He was lucky indeed.

We are still waiting to hear if my sister got the police job. I REALLY hope she does now, because she informed me tonight that if she doesn't, she is going to deploy to Iraq for a year. I really just don't think I can handle her and my stepson being deployed at the same time!:angry: I personally think she has lost her dang mind....

Miss Munchkin!

I am loving this new Love in my life! Last night he was in the airport in Bangkok waiting his flight for New Delhi. He insisted I go to sleep and I insisted I didn't need sleep -- I just wanted to talk. Well, we agreed I'd go to bed in 17 mins... that would be midnight my time. Time flew and I finally got to sleep after 3:30am! AND I woke this morning totally refreshed!

I feel like a teenager and my Mom is going to come in my bedroom and tell me, "get to sleep!"

One time when I was dating my ex fiance -- I was in high school at the time. We were telling each other goodbye in the drive by his car. We kissed and talked and realized it was cold. So we got in his car and continued our Good-byes... Soon the windows were totally fogged over and we heard this knocking on the passager window... my fiance was on the passanger side, since I just scooted in the driver's side -- he cleared the window and there was my Mom with rollers in her hair, her robe and slippers yelling -- "Isn't it time for bed?"

Yikes! I was so embarrassed! I could have died! When I got in the house, I saw the clock and realized I had been out there saying Goodbye for almost 2 hours!

ahhh Love makes you just lose track of time!!

Dee-that is so funny! I also had my fair share of getting car windows knocked on by parents moments!! I was kind of a hoochie when I was a teenager!:biggrin: (OMG, did I just admit that on the internet?)

Happy Birthday Denver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun at your foot spa party!!!!

Brandy-I love, love, love your daughters description of her reflux. As a nurse, I can definantly say that if a little one said that to me, I would be giggling to myself, but secretly wondering what the heck they were talking about! Good thing momma is there to translate to the healthcare professionals!

Ok folks....my sister just called and said she got her letter in the mail from the police dept....but here is the kicker....she had the neighbor look in the mailbox and she is still an hour away at work at Camp Lejune!! I am going to DIE from curiosity!! (And worry now that she has a hair up her hiney about Iraq!) Everyone, please send good vibes our way!!!!!!

Total drive by post here!

I just wanted to let you al know that I am lurking often, my computer is not cooperating so posting is difficult.

My son's friend probably will not be able to walk again and may not have use of his hands,w will know more when he starts PT I guess??? He will be in ICU for 10 more days then transfers to Craig for inpatient PT. This has taken a major toll on all of our emotions. Thanks for the prayers.

I will have to catch up on all the posts once my computer is fixed, my laptop crapped out too..ugh!

well wishes to all!

Here is a couple pictures of jeans that I wore on our trip to Paris in May. They fit tight on the trip. These were taken when we went to the sand dunes 2 weeks ago.

Oh Mal,

What a sadness! I am so sorry to hear that he will have such devastating residual problems. Such a simple night of play between freinds ended so badly. I am so sorry! How is your son doing?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
