The smells of the leaves, the colors of them, the crunch of the leaves under your feet, the cooler temps...I could go on and on but I won't. I do miss snow. I am origanally from Ohio. I just want 1 good snow fall per yr. here. Last measurable snow we had was 7or8 yrs ago maybe longer. Just give us 5" or more. Preferably @ Christmas time. Is that too much to ask?

And please send me your addess - I think I could send some snow your way...5"? I can do better than that!!!

Thats one of the things I don't like about Florida, there really isn't much difference between summer and fall. DH and I usually take a road trip up to North Carolina in October to see the beautiful changing leaves though. We always look forward to that.

Just posting to ask, what are donkeys good for? My DH and I saw some yesterday and I asked that question, he says "nothing", I said that everyone and everything was put here for a purpose. Do you all concur?

Me too Susan. I specifically got married in the fall to Celebrate my anniversary in the mountains I love it so much. We haven't been one year though - we end up going to the beach (closer and cheaper). Of course DH grumbles there is no one there (ah-hum no bikini half naked girls) in the fall. He wants to know why I didn't pick summer. Deductive reasoning - I'm brilliant! :cry_smile:

Gives me a good comparison and character reference when DH is being less than his normal charming self. Stubborn, Stink, Loud and Stubbourn. Yep that pretty much covers it - well other than stink...DH actually smells pretty great.

Susan---so glad to hear your slip repaired itself!!!

Mine was not so easy----took some surgical intervention. My biggest issue was not the band but I had a twisted/kinked intestine. Then due to that when I got sick, I ended up with what he referred to as a very mild prolapse, but no sign of slippage. He said my band was seated in excellent placement. So, now liquids while the intestinal issue heals, and then I am good to go again.

I still of course have no fill. BUT.....I DO have a band and I was worried about that!!!

Glad yours is good too!!!

there IS a purpose for donkeys. they are EXCELLENT at keeping coyottes from your cattle/livestock. don't know why, don't know how - but they're kick can send a pack out of your pasture. we have been talking about getting a pair to keep the longhorns safe - cause we have a LOT of coyotte dens around the ranch.....

kat - glad your band is still in tact!!!

They're pack animals and miners use them to hunt for gold. They also make the wildest noises. Wish I could have one.

Well, I will sure tell DH that. I knew they had to have a purpose.

Sunshine, where I live people (DH says) are trying to give them away.

Well, we made (or almost) it through another day. Just posting to be posting.................:redface:

Agree....They're very smart, and good "guard" animals for pack critters. Sometimes they get kinda standoffish if you put them in w/ horses....I think there's a little rivalry going on there...

What are donkeys good for? I bet Shrek could answer that question for you.

Kat, I am so sorry to hear you had to have surgery to correct your issues, but am happy you got to keep your band. I hope you are back to 100% soon!

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
