Wow - I've only been banded since Tues 16th, but I had a close call today. My 4 yr old grandson was visiting with me and he wanted a snack. I gave him some crackers and Peanut Butter and raisins. I ALMOST popped a raisin in my mouth without even thinking !!!

I'm going to have to be very careful until I get used to thinking more about anything I put in my mouth!

YIKES! :omg:

Topdownbug,

Does you name mean that you also are a VW Beattle owner. That is so funny as we may have a lot in common and I am one day behind you. I know what you mean. I was fixing a salad for my DH and came so close. It scared me when I started to pop a walnut into my mouth. That is why I also needed a band for my head.

I wish you well.

Judy - I sure do have a VW Beetle - she's a New Beetle Convertible - so her license plate says 'TOP DOWN'. We are close in Band dates, we're also close in age. .. and ...

my name is also

Judy :clap2:

No chance you live in Ohio is there ?

OOOOO I have a beetle too. A white one named Marsha! I love her. (Shhh...I am getting a convertible one soon. However, I don't know if I will be able to part with Marsha, so I might have to keep her too. My 10 year old wants to drive her when she becomes 16.) I love my BUG!

Nice Cookie! My Topdownbug is my third New Beetle. I am quite attached to them, but when the convertibles came out I had to have one immediately - so I did. Then when the new colors came out - I had to have a different one - so I do. This little beauty is only a year old and she only gets driven in the nice weather so she only has 6000 miles on her so far. I try not to look at the new colors when they come out. I need to get more equity in this one before I make another change.

They are so much fun !! I feel like I'm 17 when I'm in my BUG !

Enjoy yours too!

Judy

Oh Judy, although I live near Greensboro, NC and I am orginally from Alabama, I can not believe how much we have in common. For example, I am now on my 3rd New Beetle and totally understand about the color issue. I am currently driving a 2006 harvest moon hardtop that I just love. But the new is wearing on it so I might join you and Cookie and go to a convertiable next. WE are buggie sisters.

Hey, I too have a convertable VW Beetle. 2006 Standard shift, "mellow yellow". I just love it. It's fun, and I have to tell you..........I LOOK GOOD IN IT! It goes well with my long red hair!

Well, I don't have a bug but can relate to the Auto Eating. Thing about it is you will know when you do something wrong. After 8 months I get a stomache just from looking at a sub sandwich with all the bread!! Just like anything else - there is always a learning curve!!

I'm trying like crazy to attach some photos to this post, but everytime I do they are way too big! What's the trick?

Anyway - Judy - you and I seem to have a lot in common! Babs and Cookie and Judy - maybe we should start a BugLovers Thread?

I'll keep trying to attach photos of my Bugs - they are Harvest Moon w/black top. Shadow Blue w/tan top and Reflex Silver (hardtop w/sunroof of course)

Top Up Bugs

Ladies, I LOVE your bugs!!!! Pictures of Marsha will be coming soon. She is getting a "makeover". She was in a fender bender a few weeks ago. I am getting a red convertible. It makes me smile just thinking about it. Imagine my skinny bum driving around in a red convertible...BEEP BEEP!

Cookie - the Red is nice! I especially like it with the tan top. Honestly I could have a whole fleet of them with all the cool colors they have . I haven't looked at the VW website lately because I know I'll a new awesome color ....

Can't wait to see Marsha.. I hope she's ok. My first bug got rear ended and I was so upset.. poor little girl.

Keep us posted on the purchase..
