Tap-those look exactly like I pictured. How cute! I couldn't ever put that on a wall though. I remember seeing something similar in my grandmother's bathroom when I was little.

Grandmothers walls...yes, exactly. In my case, my grandfathers bathroom walls...for 50+years. They're part of my history, but I just cannot see putting them up.

Oh my, that's just as awful as I suspected. :laugh:

Trust me, the owls are worse. The owls with painted clocks on their bellies are much worse. And then there are the bright blue birds....oh my.

is it wrong that i love those fish?

very cute; better than the HUGE wooden spoons i got from my great aunt.

Tell you what Lu, unless my teenage nephews express a desire to have the fish (HIGHLY unlikely), I will arrange to send them to you once my Aunt dies. (By then I hope to have met you, and have an address, otherwise I'm not sure what UPS would do with a package addressed to "Lulu in Texas a tiny little lady who lives on a big ranch with her husband, loves dogs, loves to cook, loves wine and who doesn't have children")

Omg, we had those too when I was a kid! :biggrin:

But you could make a rustic cookbook holder from them. I know this. I know it because I did. :cursing::laugh: (Hey, at 13 years of age, I thought it was fine craftsmanship).

PJTP:My baby is growing into a little man before my eyes! It is like it happened overnight! We were in Sam's tonight. I thought he had a smudge on his chin. It was hair!!!! He already has a sprinkle of hair on his upper lip, but now thick hair on his chin!!!!! He is 12!!! I can't take this! I need a drink (or 8)!

I cannot imagine going through this with a girl. I am already losing my mind with this! Not that I had that much to begin with.:w00t:

HI! We're in Sacramento at my mom's. Had a good trip up.

~Ebony, I like the idea of filing a grievance. It's much deserved.

~Beth, I just don't know what to say or how to help w/DH. Do you own a sledgehammer, per chance? :w00t:

~Tap, so sorry about the eye. I've had pink eye. It's not fun on it's own. Can't imagine that combined with a sty. Hope you feel better soon. And trust me, be glad it's not BOTH eyes!!!

I'm also really sorry about the fish! The wooden spoon/fork on the other hand? I'd probably take! I remember those from my childhood too!

~Pooly, glad you passed. Nice fake-out w/the pysch! :wink:

~Slim, awwwwwww! And so it begins! How bittersweet! He's still your baby but growing up!

~Lu, it's not wrong to love the fish! Where would you put them? Curious minds want to know.

~G4E, so glad you found a chance to post! Miss you!

~PJTP: woke up this AM with a sick kid! Figures! She's seems to have a mild cold so we're forging ahead with the trip. Here's hoping it doesn't get worse!

Okay, need to re-join the family! Have a great night y'all!

Sorry, I meant girls and periods. It's a very defining moment. I don't think a li'l peach fuzz on his upper lip which is only visible in the correct light at the right angle means anything *she says as she backs quickly out of the room*

I knew what you meant. My brain just made the leap from there all on its own.:frown:

PJTP: Pink fish with pink bubbles make me gag :w00t:

:wink::lol::w00t:

TPG---try wrapping it in foil with garlic and butter---then bake it...it might be really good!!!

LMAO

:eek::lol::blink:

Morning everyone! How is everyone doing today? I am hoping to go back to sleep here in a few.

Heartfire-glad that you made it safely. Have fun!

Well, I didn't go back to sleep. Instead, I went and spent money at Wally World. It was really nice to not have to worry about being run over by all of the people that are there during the day on Saturdays. I am now relaxing with my morning cup of joe with bacon cooking in the oven (DS is already up asking what is for breakfast).

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day!

      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. 💗

        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.
