Yea!! Donna thinks I'm an expert! But do try the pacific Rim Sweet....It is like dessert in a glass. Very light, and goes great with fruit.< /div>

I'll definitely have to give it a try.

Not true! the razor blade was descending towards my wrists even as you wrote that. Good thing you chimed in when you did....

Yeah REALLY good thing....I don't want blood on my hands!

Of course we miss you, She!!!

Shrimp sounds delish!

Forefox rocks muchly!!!

Yay I was missed!!

PJTP: I want to make French Onion Soup but do not have a dutch oven. Should I spend $65.00 on a dutch oven just to have my favorite soup?? decisions, decisions......

Buy it and make me some PLEEEEEASE! I adore it but DH HATES onion so I can only ever have it out. Are you going to make the cheesy crouton things to go on top too?

Ok, so I am trying out this firefox web browser. How long did it take those of you that use it, to get used to it?

A few weeks for me. I hated it at first, but we have it at work now so its normal for me. Bear with it, it'll be worth it!

FB is my crack I tell ya!

Mine too. I'm like a darn junkie with it!

So my plan with my time off between Xmas and NYE is to paint our lounge room. On my own. When husband is at work. That way, our marriage might survive the painting. If we tried to do it together, we might just kill each other, because of course we both know the "right" way to do things. His right way is usually very different to mine!!

Hell is warm-ish (or os it is widely reported/stated); this place sure isn't!

My personal hell is freezing and the wind blows all the time. On my wet hair.< /p>

Times have changed... When I had my 15 year old and 8 year old, the OB said it was OK to have an occasional glass of red wine.

Honestly, I think your OB is right. The don't drink anything at any time rule is more about lawsuits IMO than giving out sensible advice.

The only white I like are the sweet ones from Germany--they're like dessert in a glass.

Riesling! That's the only wine I like.

Good morning! 'Tis the last working day until Jan for me - yahoo! So many topics to catch up on...

Good to see you haven't lost your multi-quoting prowess Plain. Nor that you feel threatened or jealous of the addition of another man to the PJTP thread. Another man associated with a uniform (cammo)....wait, I drifted off there. No reason to be jealous Plain. Right ladies? That's it ladies. Use THAT tone - all men are suckers for it. Well, except Plain; he would never be fooled by false sincerity - he's too smart, too wise, too worldly....

Wine - only DRY, reds please. No sweet Reislings or champagnes...ew!

Mac - used to love it when my wet hair would freeze...I was about 12 years old then. Now - not so much.

She - how can someone hate onions???? That's like hating peppers or garlic - hating a staple of so may wonderous culinary creations.

She - painting with hubby. Perhaps use the strategy of: Dear, I know that you have worked so hard this year. Let me treat you to a nicely painted room. That way you do it - the right way; he stays out of it.

Dutch oven - don't have one. Make french onion Soup without it.

Onions, I know. It was almost a deal break for us LOL I HATE peppers though, so it evens out.........almost.

HE'S the one who said it was Ok for me to paint. I've picked the colour and all (we're getting vouchers to your equivalent to home depot for Xmas, yay!)!

I need that french onion recipe, please *begs*

it is that time of year and donations are pouring in.

I am SO pleased to read that! I finally found a group that would accept the many christmas fruit cakes my mother and I made (we make MANY MANY more than DH and my brother could EVER eat, and local shelters etc don't accept home-made foods). There is a flight school for foreign pilots-in-training in town; I suggested that these poor souls might be missing their families and homemade goodies so DH went there and met with the COO and voila, the student lounge was treated to trays of Cookies and cakes. I wanted DH to drag home some of the students for a meal, but with 200+ of them, DH thought transporting them all, let alone feeding them all might be problematic.

What do you consider a Dutch oven? If it's what my hubby calls it, we have one.

Beth - Thank you so much for lending me your pot! tehehehehe It was so nice to have you come over last night! I so enjoyed the wine and salsa! Six am did come way too early though! lol _wine__by_koffeeben.gif

By the way, I paired down that last one before I posted.....It was too long even by my standards.

NEVER!!shhhh.gif

Ugh.... Today can be summed up as Cookies, fudge and demons oh my.... I hate holiday get togethers... 1 down - 4 to go....

Brad

I have two containers of cookie dough in my fridge! I bought it from my boss's daughter for a school fundraiser. Now I have to bake up a boat load and give it away to save myself from a cookie eating marathon!! 8005312eebb53c27c68eb3a51f54b8ec.gif

Buy it and make me some PLEEEEEASE! I adore it but DH HATES onion so I can only ever have it out. Are you going to make the cheesy crouton things to go on top too?

I am making it today! Thankfully I was able to borrow the oven from Beth!

3_4_103.gifMan I need a pot of coffee this morning. 5 came a little TOO early today.

I have had two cups already but need lots more!

I need that french onion recipe, please *begs*

EXACTLY!!!

i really enjoy downtime & he knows i'll have some of my girlfriends over to escape kids & husbands for a day or two - and he really would rather be our bartender than go hunting.

:thumbup:

What guy wouldn't want to bartend to a bunch of drunk MILF's?:w00t::eek:

What do you consider a Dutch oven? If it's what my hubby calls it, we have one.

If it is what my friend calls what he does to his wife in bed, I don't think you want one.

PJTP-Today is our dept potluck. Gonna be a long day.

Also, I've figured out I shouldn't piss off DW for a few weeks. We are in the process of switching life insurance policies and right now I have 2 policies on my head worth a combined $1M. She may start to think I am worth more dead than alive. Silly woman doesn't realize that is true no matter what.:cool2:

PJTP that it's MY last day of work until January 5th! WooHoo!:w00t::w00t::tt2::wink2::smile::w00t:

Adventures in train commuting this morning: train sitting in station, announcement comes that we are changing tracks. Train backs up nearly to previous station, then pulls forward again to pick up (one) person and a cute little purse dog. :huh2:

Off we go...get to station #3 of 5 on the trip, announcement comes that we're having engine trouble and the engineer will try to fix it. Train goes back and forth, back and forth while conductor announces - "Please do not try to leave the train"...DOH! :thumbup:

Going again, cheers for the engineer who walks through and bows (too funny). We pull into my station and announcement comes "All the doors except for two are frozen shut - we couldn't get them open even with crowbars - please exit as directed by a member of the train crew"...Hilarity ensues with lots of jokes and laughing among the passengers and the train crew. :wink2:

Off the train, looking for my shuttle to the office...no shuttle. Second shuttle driver (different route) lets us sit on his bus until ours arrives so we won't 'freeze our Buns off'. :eek: Regular shuttle driver arrives and joins us, we all laugh, then depart.

Gave the friendly security guard in my building a Dunkin' Donuts card for holidays - she always has a smile for everyone and a GREAT attitude, so I think she deserves to be rewarded. I get a monster hug before 9 am and all is well. :cool2:

Didn't lose anything on the scale this week, but all my clothes are getting loose and I'm about to drop another pants size...HOORAY!!!! :thumbup:

Have a wonderful holiday everyone, just in case I don't check in for a few days...but then I must, 'cause otherwise y'all will have posted 20 pages by the time I get back!:lol:

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.
