We're at a pig pickin with all sorts of wonderful foods and the one thing making me crazy is seeing my son drink a diet Dr pepper....had not even thought about a soft drink in forever until today. Of course I didn't touch it....but it looked sooo good.

From the south and never been to a pig pickin....I thought these were just a staple for southerners!!! I'm in NC. Its where the whole pig is cooked in a pit like grill...and then its cut up, chopped, ribs, etc....all for the eating. Of course there is always plenty of other food too to go along with the pig....here's a pic.

I'm in Salisbury...not far from you! I actually lived in Kernersville a few years back fir about two years. I'm Christina....nice to meet someone that's just right down the road! The BBQ was wonderful with no sauce on it at all....that's how I ate it...very good....though I was drooling over that diet Dr pepper!!

Were headed back to NC soon I can't wait! My husband is dying for some pig! We will be in Rocky Mount area!

Hey neighbors!! I'm in Charlotte, but lived in Kernersville (or K-Vegas as a lot of young people called it!) several years ago!! I love a pig pickin! I'm pre-op now and plan to have some Sonny's one last time before surgery!

Hey sunshine! Enjoy that last sonnys....I love that place....or I guess I used to love it. Hows everything going? When is your surgery? Who is your surgeon? I had mine with Dr. Bauman in Concord....he and his staff are wonderful!

Thats funny because I love calling it K-vegas, lol. I hadn't found anyone who lived near me. We should all meet up sometime.

I'd love to get together sometime....it would be so nice to have some REAL time with other people going through the same things as I am right now. Bekki - when was/is your surgery?

Oh I sure will!! I'm actually trying to keep myself busy as I called my insurance and they said it's in review as we speak and your doctor's office should get a fax by the end of the day!! I'm praying for surgery with Dr. Pirrello @ Southeast Bariatrics. His office is in Matthews.
