Susan, How do I get that add on for firefox. I only use firefox but I never noticed it for an add on . It's been awhile since they sent me an update.

You know it's not the sun. At his age, he doesn't want to be relocated and he doesn't want to be a burden on you. He's already lost so much--it's too much to ask him to lose his bearings and his pride.

He totally says it's our weather. It's always cold and raining every time he comes here. He always asks me how I can stand to live here. There are wonderful things about Oregon but the weather on the coast can be crappy. He said if we had better weather he would move here.

Smith, are you going to have your ring made smaller?

Random PJTP-The school system here must have the best freaking union there is. They let school out early because there is the *possibility* of thunder storms this evening. So far, it has barely sprinkled, but they let out of school? WTF? I am going to use all of my freaking vacation before the summer because they keep letting out of school!

Ok, sorry for the small rant.

Beth, I hope that the rest of your day gets better.

Donna, thanks for that picture. It is nice to know that there are still caring people out there.

Donna do I have play the mob wars to join your mob? I have been avoiding that for a long long time. =)

As lulu said, NOPE but you might want to...

Now I'm getting yelled at at work by a boss for something I didn't even do wrong -- the golden-haired child (who's not here) did. But she came out and reamed me a new one. I'm about to go home. This is one effed-up day.

Beth, it sounds like you're just having a really bad time of it lately. I hope things get better soon. <<hugs>>

Thanks, slim.

Are you kidding me??? Letting out due to a possible thunderstorm??? I mean, I went to school in blizzards, with snow drifts up to second-story windows. Now they can't go in the snow or if there's ice. But NOW -- thunderstorms????

I'd be asking somebody to do some 'splainin.

Yeah, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's some of that weight loss hormonal thing I've heard about. :crying:

It is really crazy. They canceled school because it was cold one day. They canceled because there was flooding no where near a single school on another. They DIDN'T cancel for snow, but today to cancel because it MIGHT thunderstorm. I'm telling ya', they have a darn good union. I have been told that they are trying to use up snow days that are built into the school year.

That's abusive! Omg, what if people lost their jobs (especially these days) for missing work like this for such stupid stuff??

Yay Me! I's so smart.

You are! I love that picture - thanks for sharing. It's a sweet pic.

Ha! That's funny...what wusses.

DD has complained that since we moved to TX from VA she never gets out of school.

I said, "What are you talking about? You got off two weeks for a hurricane...doesn't that count?"

taps - i had a small unfill today as well; going skiing/snowboarding tomorrow and am afraid of being tight with the altitude. DH last yr struggled skiing being too tight - me i was no where close to restriction at the time so i had no worries.

random post - got a job offer today and wasn't looking to work... :crying: i swore when i left my last job in high tech sales i'd never go back...but the money is just too good and i can work as little or as much as i want. DH of course is all over it - because he likes his toys; me i'm still in my selfish - all about me faze - that i'm going to do it...BUT not get suckered into a long term gig. need to go dig out my heels & work clothes; at least i can now fit back into them...UGH

PJTP..... I turned 50 today. I'm not getting older I am getting better.
PJTP - Happy Birthday to me!!

Why must work come and interrupt my sleep?

Amen!!! This morning, I thought, "I really really hate my alarm clock!!"

As for me, I decided that I should start taking that fish oil supplement I bought a few months back and never opened. I figure since I am not a big salmon fan (or fish in general unless it is batter, fried and dipped in some tarter sauce) I should take it. Now my burps taste like fishy coffee. I might puke.

My mother began taking fish oil and complained to her doctor about the taste and he told her to freeze them to make them taste less gross and she doesn't have the fish burps either. Try it!

I think coffee is my favorite drink.

Glou! Where the H have you been, gul? I have no concept of the coffee addiction that y'all have. :crying:

Has there been any greater development in the English language than the phrase of "WTF"? I mean really, it speaks for everything, every emotion, every mood. I love it. It is one of my favorite phrases

I could not agree more!!! :laugh:

Donna, I love that koala pic - I was sent it a few days ago too. It's doing the rounds here in Aus and is set to become one of those "classic" images.

These are a couple of other koala/kangaroo pics that were doing the email rounds in Aus just a day or two before the fires, when everyone was talking about the incredible heatwave.

The koala ones were apparently taken on someone's back verandah in Victoria:

The kangaroo ones were taken somewhere on the southern Victoria coastline:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      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. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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. 💗

        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!
