Ooh, ooh, me too me too! :o

To answer your question about thread deleting, T_O_M, a while back the forum options were changed to prevent anyone from being able to delete their thread-starting post. It proved too disruptive when someone went on a deleting spree and took a lot of helpful and important information with her. Members can edit their own posts, but can't delete them for this reason.

I think you mean "can't delete a thread".

I just posted a reply to your post, with "testing 123456789", submitted it, then clicked on "Edit" and when the editing window came up, I selected "Delete Message", then "Delete this Message" and the message was deleted.

I read the book quite recently (Bill and Hillary, the Marriage). I think it's pretty accurate. I could not find anything, anywhere that would indicate the author had a political ax to grind. But if you read the WHOLE thing, you will see that he had many positive, flattering things to say about Hillary, as well.

She disliked the manner in which the Arkansas State Troopers guarded her person....and she minced no words about it. She felt smothered. But they weren't exactly charm school grads, either. One told her (and I'm paraphrasing here), "As far as I'm concerned, you are the property of the State of Arkansas and I'm going to guard you MY way."

I'm a good Catholic girl myself and I don't use the kind of language that has been attributed to Hillary. Never said the "F word" in my entire life, or the "CS word", etc. I had a mother who always had a bar of soap handy and an older brother who served as an excellent reminder of how unpleasant the consequences were. But I'm not going to cast my vote based on whether a candidate swears or not. Where, first of all, do you find one that doesn't? Richard Nixon, the Watergate tapes proved, had a mouth like a sewer. LBJ? Ditto. Also JFK. And I'll bet George uttered a few choice words when he opened up the paper and saw that his daughters were caught drinking in an Austin bar with fake IDs.

Hillary Clinton is no Laura Bush. Even as First Lady, she was no Laura Bush. Now she's running with the big dogs, and you have to expect that she's going to act like them. Otherwise, they would eat her alive.

She would never have been elected to Senate if she acted like Laura Bush, and there would be snow in Hell before she was elected to the Presidency if she acted like her. No offense meant to Laura or anyone who likes her, but to me she has no personality at all. She may be a very strong woman, but she comes across as a meek "little woman".

laurend: Perhaps mysherrijo reconsidered the wisdom of posting such drivel.
I'd hope so, but it's a little late, after the fact. My personal feelings are that if you post something, stand by it, even if you don't like the respnse you get. To me, like one of the other posters said, it's a little 3-year-old-ish to post something and then take it down when you are throwing a tantrum.

Yes, indeed, laurend. And I tend to agree about Lara. She seems like a very weak person to me. She fills the role of Dubya's First Lady just as its been scripted.

You're Aunt Laurend then?

Am I still just a watcher?

No, no, I'm Auntie Lisa. Lauren is my niece, since TOM is her grandpa and I'm his daughter. You can be a cousin if you want, or a crazy ole aunt like me, that would make you my sis.

We need to plan a family reunion!

Whoa, it's Auntie Lisa? I'm so confused. I guess I could be someone over on another thread, someone from King of the Hill. That guy that mumbles.

I knew you were Lisa and your dad is Homer, but I stumbled on the laurend identity. I confess I don't watch it. In fact, if I were to be able to stay true to a role, I'd be Meredith's mother on Grey's.

It's from another thread. TOM and I were joking about how we had the same opinions, but in the opposite gender. I said something about how I could be his long-lost daughter, and then he said he had a 21 year-old grandson, and to call him "Grandpa TOM". So I do.:girl_hug:

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
