:biggrin1: Just wondering if anyone is from central Illinois? I'm from Champaign and looking for bandsters in my area. Go Illini!

Yep...I do the same thing. My downfall is trying to drink and eat at the same time. You think I'd know by now that I shouldn't do that, but I'm too stubborn. Ata, I went to the U of I too! Congrats on getting your masters. I got my degree in January 2000 in Human Development & Family Studies, but now I work in accounting. Funny how that works out huh? I hope you can join Terry and myself for lunch sometime. We used to meet once a month, but that fell to the wayside with the holidays and everything. Hoping to pick that up again soon.

Hi there again! I was just looking at old posts to this thread and wanted to ask you about your hair. Did it finally grow back for you?

I should have been specific. That question was for Kyethra. Sorry.

Yup, I have hair again! And my hair grows fast! it grows a good 1.5 inches or so a month. Its now poofy around my ears. I experiment with different styling products to keep it down-- when I wake it up it tends to like to stand up straight or else I have a hairdo that sort of resembles wolverines. Not the best looks for me. But when I get it to behave, its adorable

every time I go to save it as my signature it says invalid file.Now what do I do??lol Penny

Shoot! Now I'm not sure what to do. I didn't have that problem. I'm sorry. Maybe you could use the ticker help menu and see if there are any suggestions. Maybe someone else on this thread has ticker problems and advice. Anyone???

You are so funny! I enjoy reading your posts. Would love to see the hair! I have such a visual.

Hello Central Illinois!!

I am scheduled for my surgery on 01/25/08, any helpful information is appreciated. Thanks so much, hope to hear from you all soon!!!

Doctor Sidney did my surgery.He is very good.Just remember not not to rush solid foods.do as he says and let your body heal before doing solids.I havent had any trouble and will soon be going for my second fill Jan14 that is.When you do finally get to eat solids remember to chew ,chew ,chew.My husband sometimes has to remind of this.I think the hardest thing is not drinking while your eating your meal.Good luck .Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.Penny

Hi All!! I am new to the group. I am going to see Sid at John Warner on the 8th of February. I am really excited. I have been thinking about doing this for a couple of years now. Did anyone else have their surgery in Clinton?

Just so you know, I LOVE THE ILLINI!!! I am gearing up for the best basketball season ever! I am a teacher and I told the kids that if they won at the Bowl, they would not have homework for a month!

Welcome all newbe's. Hope to meet you guys sometime. Simmons775 and I meet on the first monday each month for lunch. Its nice to ask each other questions and watch all the weight loss going on.

Terry
