Hi again ladies.

Kari, there is a free anti-virus program that we use called AVG anti-virus. You can google it, download it, update it, and then let it run. Fairly quick and free. It's the only program we use. Much better than some of the paid for ones out there. Wouldn't have McAfee or Norton ON my machine.

I was mixing my coffee drink this morning and poured hot coffee on my hand. Do you think I can sue the microwave company for heating it up too hot? Damn it hurts!!! Should be worth at least 10 mil.

Okay....off to do nothing some more. Talk to you all later.

Hi All,

Taking a break from packing. I packed all my pictures. That's a job. I need to scan them all and save them on the computer. Taking all these pictures for evacuation is ridiculous. I have to start packing the clothes.

We are going to Little Rock. DH has a room from his company. We will leave early tomorrow morning.

DH is boarding up the windows. He has stainless steel bolts sticking out the house around the windows. His boards have been cut for about ten years. He slips them over the bolts and screws them on with a bolt. For Katrina, I had to help. Now sonny boy is actually helping. I walked outside, and DH is putting the board over the front door. Sonny is handing him the nuts. This is what I hear.....

"You dropped one of my nuts Boy."

Ya gotta laugh through this shit!! People are flipping out around here. An unsavory character just drove down the street in his hoopty checking out whose leaving. We don't just have to worry about damage, we have to worry about being looted. And they don't just loot, they DESTROY. You'll never hear what the crimanals did to this place on the news.

It is nice though that your Hubby and Son are working at this task together.

It is so unfortunate that people lurk about waiting to take their opportunity with YOUR stuff.

Stay safe & be well..

((HUGS))) Candice

Goodbye Everyone, I'm shutting down the computer. This thing looks like it's gonna be much worse for us then Katrina. I'll get back in touch sometime later. We're heading to Little Rock. The 8hr drive will probably take 16. Traffic is a nightmare. Much of lower LA is evacuating. We are on the worse side of the storm this time. Que Sara Sara

However ya spell it. Looks like we're screwed!

Karri, and ALL the rest of you teachers,

I just found a newspaper clipping that I cut out several years ago that I thought I'd share:

"A disgruntled school teacher turned in her resignation with the following comment: "In our public schools today, the teachers are afraid of the principals, the principals are afraid of the superintendents, the superintendents are afraid of the board, the board members are afraid of the parents, the parents are afraid of the children, and the children are afraid of no one."

Hey Gang... Had a bit of a headache yesterday - I now know that 2 drinks is all I can handle - the 3rd one puts me over the limit.

But even with headache - took Andrew for his back to school haircut then to the store to get stuff for a pot of Beans and chilli relnons (sp) made them without the breading in the oven - really good - then my gf who is going for bypass next friday came by for a visit and then my GF Debbie came over for dinner and gab fest... So for having a hangover I was pretty busy .

We had rain and thunder storm yesterday - so it's quite humid right now.

Denise - I know you are packed up and on the road but you and your family are in my prayer and I agree - shoot the looters !!!! Karma will get them that's the way I like to think ..

Steph - Ha Ha ya you could try and sue them - everyone else sues for their own stupidity (not that you are stupid you know what I mean :rolleyes:)

Phyl - Love it - it's the truth :)

Ok off to read my paper - will cbl :thumbup:

Hi ladies. Just a quick check in. I forgot to check in with food yesterday and feel bad because I made a deal with you, Ruby!

Yesterday I had 75 oz liquid. 850 cals, 35 g Protein. All sounds good but the food choices were really bad. Choc chip cookie was my downfall and then things went bad from there. I then munched with the kids on animal crackers. Finally I made the horrible choice of having ice cream for dinner. I did force myself to stop at 1/2 cup but really bad choices. GRRR.

I need to choose better things today. I will start with dinner at church today. I will do better. I am sure of it. I will be sure to put in extra prayers for Denise and family.

I'll check in later today all.

Dear Denise: I am hoping you Don't read this and are alreadyon the road to safety..

Janet: Thanks somuch for the nice card, I loved it!!! ANd ya know I don't feel too bad for an old broad!!!

Phyl: HOw are your Ear peircings??? Did you buy any new earrings yet? I let my holes close over :thumbup: they were bugging me while I slept at night... poking into my head if I rolled over on my side.. Just not meant to be I guess.

Stephanie: Oh I wish I was as tight as you are!!! 850 cals would be awesome. I think that after this birthday I will drive to To. for another fill. I had my last tweek in June before our M of A trip and I've been up and down the same 2 lbs all summer.. so its time to GET REAL... and loose the rest of my weight this year.

Linda: Must be still missing in action, back to school, weddiings, births oh my what a busy life...

So far today I've only eaten 2 slices Thin Rye toast with butter, and a protien bar. But I am going out to see my MOM and take my Birthday dinner in to her... should be a nice way to spend the evening.:)

Have a Great Labor Day long weekend everyone~!:rolleyes:

Hi again ladies. I'm back from church and the harvest field. It's very cold out there today and windy. I think it's going to rain but we really don't want it to rain. It's starting to spit.

I had Protein for Breakfast and just had 2 cheese sticks. I will try to have some meat in a bit to fill me up. Haven't had any extra liquid yet but will be working on getting it all on.

Talk to you later.

Hey Beth - Congrats on your 105 lbs - Great job... Yep you young ones (You, Karri & Steph) can be our runners - I don't really aspire to be one - am happy with my walking and weight training :0)...

Bat wings - fact of life - sorry to say - working out will help some but DNA is the one that's going make that call - for me it will be surger - but who knows when - $$$ - maybe in the next year ...

      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!

      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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
