I just got an email from this guy in Hong Kong about making me the living heir of a dead Iraqi colonel! All I have to do is give him my personal information for the attorney. After that I get 30% of Twenty Four Millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars!! I am so freakin excited!!

Yeah, the same thing kinda happened to me....that's why I have to wear "real man" brand underwear (with the reinforced crotch). It's just not fair to ask regular underwear fabric to do all that heavy lifting.

:lol::lol::lol:

Clearly, the federal government needs to spend more research dollars on this problem. The "shrinking boobs" issue makes the current recession look like "the good ol' days". Think about the kids, people. They're our future.

:cool2:

You were attractive to him when you first met and you are even more attractive to him now. If you let your insecurity get in the way, it will get between you two so beat that ugly monster away! That's an order!

What she said!

I've been summoned! I hate jury duty! You show up, you get shuffled around like cattle, then you get penned in to a "waiting room" where you wait for hours just to be sent home.

I had my first day of jury duty today for my hours of sitting before going home. I even got to pay $5 for the pleasure (no free parking). I have to report again tomorrow.

New fangled? I live in an area so rual that the breathalyzers are carved from wood. You record the level of intoxication by moving a colored golf tee into a series of drilled holes. They resemble the rustic games you can find tableside at The Cracker Barrel

:tt2::lol: You make my day!

Well, not after that ugly incident with Deputy Jeffery "eyebrowz" Smith.....

:lol:

I just figure when the time comes, I'll roll 'em up and stuff 'em into a bra that makes them look better than I know they do. It's all about the image. :mellow:

That sounds really painful.:smile2:

You can now crown me the new queen of the multi-quote button!:wink2:

I think they probably have lots of people falling for it. I have to say this is the first one I have gotten from Hong Kong about an Iraqi colonel who was blown up during the war. It is so undercover the guys calls it a "operation" :smile2: My last name is Bond so maybe it is ligit!! hahahaha

Replying is the worst thing you can do - all that achieves is to confirm to the scammers that they've found a legitimate email address still in current use. It will virtually guarantee that you get more of them :smile2:.

I had thought about responding to them once upon a time, but then I got to thinking these people might give my laptop a virus somehow.

To be honest, I found the spam filter on Yahoo mail stunk. I got tons of these. But since I switched to Gmail, their spam filter is amazing and I really don't ever see these anymore, except when I peak at the spam just to see what is going on in there. I am glad the spam filter works so well, because I bet there are at least 10 of these everyday it catches.

I saw something on 20/20 awhile ago about people that fell for the scam. Thing is, the scam always plays on the greedy nature of people. That's why it works.........some people are more greedy than smart.

What is sad though, is elderly people also fall for it. It is not so much that they are greedy, as it is to they are naive to the ways of the world today.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
