Now I don't know anything about mild coffee ...So back to the grind tonight - going to be a rough one!

Pun intended? Coffee? Grind? coffee grind....oh never mind.

Why a rough night?

Mystery Brew. Generally MB is a mix of the others so that new pots can be made. I take my chances.

Ewww...some of the coffee might be over 20 minutes old. ick.

You do better on the Pouch test than I do - I don't even get started!

LOL

DH just left for MX City

He gets around, doesn't he? Didn't he just get back from Canada?

Pool girl - how was your psych eval?

Ebony - have you had your meeting yet? Keep strong!

Tap - first nights back are always hard (they're my 24 hr+ nights - so rough there) in addition the longer I've been off before I have a first night back makes it harder to go back (been off for 1.5 weeks) on top of that - travel, climbing a mountain and sleeping no more on vacation than when I'm off has made me an exhausted girl - sooooooo.........ROUGH NIGHT!

I will be needing coffee (or coffee flavored milk as I like to drink it)

Plus side - hair appt this afternoon - yeah!!!!

Glou - I am actually going to do the 5 d pouch test, starting today too. Too much indulgence on vacation (the homemade sundaes were killer) I was fortunate to actually not have gained any weight - thanks to the walking and hiking but I want to try and jumpstart some more loss in addition to clearing my taste buds of the Snacks I became accustomed to. - we'll do it together - we can do it!

he does work out of the house, when not traveling . sorta enjoying a bit of travel back in his gig, so i can get "stuff" done:)

My DH had to travel quite a bit when he first started his current job. We all (me, DS, and DH) enjoyed DH being gone during the week. My grocery bill went down. Utility bills went down. Then the travel just stopped. It was awful getting used to him being underfoot again. :thumbup:

I AM PISSED!

Apparently while I was in the airport yesterday (used the tmobile hotspot for internet access) somebody stole my credit card # used to pay the 7.99 all day charge for the access.

I know it wasn't from any gift shop/coffee shop purchase b/c I used my travel credit card and cash for that.

They apparently bought several hundred dollars worth of stuff at Bebe.com

I know the fraud lady was just being thorough - but she was like are you sure you didnt purchase this stuff - I was like lady - I couldnt dream of fitting into anything they make (which I only now know - b/c I had to go online to figure out what they were)

So now they have to close down that account which really stinks b/c that's how all my electronic bills are paid - uuuggghhhhh!

That is so awful! It still boggles my mind the absolute gall of people! They will reverse it all won't they? Have you verified all of your other credit card accounts haven't been stolen?

not sure what company you have, but you can get a new acct issued immediately under these circumstances. the problem once you have that - relaying that info over to your utility companies.

sucks hon!!!!

interesting, just bought a few bebe tanks - ... NOPE, not me that stole your cc:) **hugs**

FYI.. I think I am still recovering from the concert ugg...

Glo- you're crazy .. I suck a the 5 day test so props to you. By the end of day one I am hiding in the closet with a bag of chips rofl. You can do it though.

Lu- I have my DH rollin over the wine we mailed. He keeps asking me if theres anything he needs to know or do while I am doin hard time.

Kc- that sucks. My CC was stolen online and someone bought a bunch of UGG boots. Mind you I love them so when DH got the bill he asked how many feet I had. I said 2 .... He said take the other 14 pairs back then haha.

I called them and they reversed the charge and cancelled the account.

You can do it! Rah Rah! (See, I'm a great cheer leader, but not one to do these things). I did my 10 days pre-op no problem, and followed the post op plan (of one month's duration) to the 't', but to do it now seems impossible!!

I'll continue to cheer you and Glou from the ether!

Hmmmm.....I wonder if this is how DH feels. When we met, and for the first few years living together, I was doing a fair bit of travel. Now it is one or 2 trips a year - that's it. I wonder if I should ask him? NOPE!

I'm so sorry KC...I'm close to being paranoid about using my cc# at any time for fear of something similar happening. Do you know if any other people using that same service were also victims?

you gave us a chuckle last night -

when not traveling DH is HOME working & annoying at times.

there is no schedule - he wants to go to the gym w/me.....but has a con call; so 3hrs later, wants to go have lunch, or wants me to cook something - keep the dogs quiet for this webex.

i got a "certain" schedule and he throws it off daily & w/many animals - i have to have some kind of routine.

we're building a loft on top of the garage that will be his office, i need him out of the house:):blushing:

Other accounts ok - so far - just the one used for internet - don't know if it was electronic by putting it in or someone watching my typing - I've heard of that happening.

not sure what company you have, but you can get a new acct issued immediately under these circumstances. the problem once you have that - relaying that info over to your utility companies.

sucks hon!!!!

They are going to reverse the charges but they have to let it post first as part of the investigation and they said the refund may take up to 5-6 days - which coincidently is how long it ill take to get my new card! uuggghhh!

interesting, just bought a few bebe tanks - ... NOPE, not me that stole your cc:) **hugs**

Sure - just cause I cooked my indian feast for someone else :blushing:

Don't know - but will call them so they can be aware as well

It's the Tap and Slim show in the morning again! Love it!

KC~ Oh man that sucks! We had somebody do that and make a ton of purchases on ebay - I was at a horse show and DH thought I was buying all kinds of weird things! NO - somebody had our card number. The CC company caught it and contacted us.

Make sure you also reset your passwords, just to be safe!

Lu~ I would love for my DH to travel. I like the down time. He hardly ever goes anywhere, but it is nice to have a few days here and there. I am the one that travels with my students and he hates it! Doesn't want to care for the kids, animals, yards/plants, and house by himself - too much work! No kidding!!!

5-Day Pouch Test~ thought about it, never have started. I will be cheering with Tap from the sidelines! Go KC, go Glouc!

Well, I thought I would check in during my lunch so I was not so far behind in the evening! BBL!

      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.
