I've never wanted to mess up my car with bumper stickers, though I do have one or two on my dresser mirror...one says "my other car is a broom" and the other says "never drive faster than your angels can fly" both gifts and make me smile. On the other hand my license bracket says "my pekingese can lick your honor student"

hugs...cat

The cars that always astound me are the ones that have one sticker that says "Keep Abortion Safe and Legal" and another one that says "Save the Whales".

I saw a sticker on a horse trailer last week. It said "If you can read this, you need to get your face out of my horse's ass".

I have no bumper stickers on my car. No ribbons. No decals. I am not ashamed of my politics or my religious beliefs, but I don't know the general population well enough to share with them.

Now I must say that I like that one! I love to read bumber stickers and personalized plates! You can tell alot about someone on what they are willing to say to the general public!

I hate personalized plates I can't figure out. This one has bugged me for a while: KNTOBZ. Ken Tobe's? Kind to bees?

And where my parents live there's a HVN CNT. Which a male friend of mine swears is not heaven sent, but instead... well, let's just say it would rhyme with heaving runt.

My friend has MRSLA, it's supposed to be Mrs. LA but the state of IL stopped allowing spaces on their personal plates so it was all smashed together. We call her Mursla, it makes her sooo mad, but it's funny. ~Mandy

I've never done either bumper stickers or personalized plates of any kind because (this will let you know how crazy I am) I think they are way too personal and easily traced potentially. I mean what if I happened to be framed for murder or something and I needed to get out of town quickly while I did detective work to figure out who the real killer was? In that sort of circumstance I really wouldn't want anything personalized on a car (and yes I do read way too many detective novels). That and the whole paint thing. Plus I would worry about putting one on crookedly and then not being able to fix it, although I have been tempted to get a darwin fish.

I remember after Britney Spears evaded photographers in her car with her baby in her lap we discussed it in my child development class, about how dangerous that was. How dangerous it was to not have a baby it a car seat, there are studies. Especially if one is driving, but to not have them in a car seat and to have them in a lap in a front seat is really dangerous. Being rear ended, a small tap on behind that causes no damage to an adult can send that baby flying and be fatal, etc.

And I also had this one roomate before I got married. This girl was hideous (also dumber than a rock). I mean she was the slobbiest girl I ever met- she once spilled cannola oil all over the kitchen floor and wouldn't clean it up until we got the office to intervene, let mold grow in dishes in her room, always ate with her mouth open in front of the tv while she talked loudly, just to give you an idea.

She had her entire back window covered with bumper stickers. She got a ticket for them one day. She was really mad and actually went to court because she said she could see around them if she moved her head a certain way and ducked a few inches. My roomates and I found that hilarious-- we told her that was pretty much the definition of an obstructed view. But she went to court and of course she had to pay her ticket.

My mother had a friend whose infant grandchild was killed, riding in Grandma's lap while she drove. There was an accident - not even a major collision - but it was fatal for the baby.

I have one sticker on my car that is similar: "My German Shepherd is smarter than your honor student." I get lots of smiles and comments on it. (And each one of my three Shepherds thinks I am talking about them!)

Oh, I'm not into personalised plates either, Why FFS? Why do people need them?

Although I did see one that made me giggle for ages, KEPT. There was a blonde bimbo driving it, and yes, it was a convertable BMW driving down Toorak Rd which is a swanky Melbourne area full of bottle blonde over botoxed over tanned over nipped and tucked older women and men with trophy wives.

My wife Tina thinks I am crazy, because I occasionally pull up next to a car with an "I Support our Troops" or "Support the Troops" sticker at a red light and say to the driver, "I am glad that you want to bring our troops back from Iraq too?":clap2:

She thinks I will get shot one day, but I think that it will take a kryptonite bullet to hurt me.:faint:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
