2005 Vegas Bash



Recommended Posts

I have surprised myself at how much I am looking forward to this weekend in Vegas. I've long had a fear of crowds and a walking into a room where I don't know anybody is welll... not something I generally want to contemplate on a social setting. But I feel like I've gotten to know so many of you, I don't think I'll freak out too badly...

Megan: Making out? ???? What is that??? Hmmm might have to look up the new slang terms. LOL!! Way cool. And yes we could do some damage. And yes again "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." LOL!!

Ya know I don't really care where we stay (NO HO JO!!!) as long as there is taxi service to and from Lisa's because I ain't driving if I am drinking. AND I am drinking!! Gonna be celebrating my birthday (which is the 5th, presents accepted) and will be in a size 14 by then for sure. I am hoping anyway.

I wouldn't mind staying at Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, NewYork, Paris, Venetian, Harrah's, Strastosphere is ok too but someone's gotta go on the rides with me at the top.

WHOO HOO!! Vegas here I come.

Just a thought too..... checked a bit more.... Stratosphere is $107 a night, Imperial Palace is $98 a night, Circus Circus is $85 a night and Sahara is $89 a night. Being that this all has the propensity to get somewhat large of a group, the group rates will probably be even lower. The newer hotels are fairly expensive but the older more established hotels on the strip are just as nice, just not as themed or showy. I have stayed at all of the above and like them all (sahara and riviera being top choices, and circus circus being the bottom).

Do you have any thoughts or input in this De Larla??? I drive and play and stay there all the time and send people there all the time, but you live there (so you get the inside scoop ha ha ha). Surely you have a better opinion about all of these places I have mentioned than I would?

If I am invited, my vote is for either weekend. I am driving.

And just as a side note..... why not plan a quickie cruise down to mexico? Only about $300 pp for 4 nights and everything is included! (can you tell I love to travel and jump at ANY and ALL chances to leave and have fun!!!)

Penni, I will go on any ride with you, as long as it doesn't involve being hung upside down. For some reason, I cannot breathe upside down. OH!!!! and if I reach my that goal, I won't feel squished into the seat!

I'm with you on the whole taxi thing too!

Penni, have you kept track of the votes? Is everyone willing and ready to set a date in stone?

EVERYONE is invited... but, last year I learned my lesson so this year I'm not making any suggestions or recommendations on hotels! I didn't pick Howard Johnson's last year, but all the girls puked when they saw the rooms. Well, not all of them, and they really didn't puke, but a bunch of girls were running around at the last second looking for other hotels. I think any of the ones on the Strip will be fine though.

Since Penni is in control of my life, I nominate her to make the decision on the date.

OK here goes. September 9, 10, and 11 weekend in Vegas for the BASH is set in stone. Plan accordingly.

I will be there with bells on. I can stay at any hotel on the strip preferably but I am flexible. I think Excalibur sounds like fun but so do any of the hotels.

I might fly in so would need a ride. LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there's any way I can be there, I will. Maybe I can work in a Grand Canyon Colorado River trip if my butt is small enough to fit in a kayak by then!

You are more than welcome to share a room with Vera, Becky and myself. We would love to have you and that would lower the cost even more.

Let us know.

I think Penni is confused with Band Bash and Birthday Bash. Penni, this is a Band Bash, but since you keep reminding us of your birthday, I'll be sure to have many cans of whip cream in the fridge - you know, the kind that sprays in your face? You want a birthday spanking? You got it! Payback's a bitch, ain't it? Oh boy, this is gonna be fun! And I think everyone else will agree that you should be the first to get tossed in the pool drunk in your panties this year!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
