Teresa,

I have never learned to crochet from a pattern, my Mom just taught me several ways to do an afgan. If you decide to make some and sell one, I would be really interested.

Okay, okay, I will make whoever wants one a hat. The yarn is about $4-5 and its probably only a few dollars to ship one. I'll go back thru and find the colors everyone wants and start some more. Just think, this will be good for MY weight loss. I found last year when I made about 20 of them for christmas gifts I hardly had any chance to snack. My fingers were just too busy. You all crack me up though!!! LOL. Teresa

Whoooooo Hooooooo Teresa!

I want a black one, the fuzzy kind if they have it, but I'll settle for anything! Decide how much you need and let me know, I will send you the money right away so you aren't out of pocket!

Love you gal!

Really, really your going to make them? Good thing I didn't make it to the store yet. I would love one too. Black would be awesome for me too. Let me know how much you need and I will send it. Maybe when I get yours and I can look at it I will give it a try and make them for the family.

You are a dear,

Kathy

Thanks, Teresa! I was going to look for a crochet pattern for Christmas. This is PERFECT! :Bunny I can't wait to get started.

Also glad you like your 6th grade experience. I loved that age. I am a high school teacher (usually 8th grade, but taking a long leave right now) and it's nice to hear there are enthusiastic new people joining the ranks. :D

P.S. Penni! You look so cute in that hat! :D

I'll reserve a black one too! Maybe you can buy that yarn in bulk (cheaper) if you do all of them in the same color. You and Darcy are so creative!! You w/ your darling hats and she w/ her quilt. Do you really have the time to make hats? I will be so proud of one!

Hi all, its no problem making the hats. I am going to make them all on the large side unless anyone has a particularly small head.

Becky do you have a Master's to teach? I just finished my bachelors and am so sick of school I really wish I could avoid getting my masters right now, but in Oregon it seems most school districts only hire people with a masters.

Anyway hope you all have a good sunday and I'll get started on the hats this evening. Don't worry about paying anything till you get them. Teresa

In California there is a fifth year after the bachelor's to get a credential. It's a very heavy program of classes and observation with at least a half year of student teaching at least one class. I was fortunate to have a master teacher who let me teach two classes for the full year. She let me totally take over the classes, while still training me.

I think the units are close to a master's degree, but we don't get the degree. Our schools have to pay more for teachers with masters, so don't always want them. Do you do any student teaching in Oregon?

I just started my volunteering a few weeks ago. In Oregon it is a 5th year program as well but you do come out of it with a Master's degree. 1/2 of it is classwork "how to teach" type classes and the other 1/2 of the program is student teaching in a classroom. I am just sick of being a poor student and am ready for the working world (aside from my housekeeping and bed and Breakfast work). I am going to get certified for working with handicapped children as well. I have lived next door to an autistic boy most of his life and evidently Oregon has a shortfall for people certified with challenged kids. Thanks for the info. Becky, Teresa

Teresa... you will be saving my ears from frostbite! If I took up another hobby right now my hubby would surely knock me in the head! I can't wait to have my very own adorable hat and I will be happy to pay for the materials... shipping... AND your precious time! Just think... we can all where our hats for a pic at the next bandster bash!

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
