So the death toll for the Victorian fires has risen to 173. Its just awful. Whole towns have been wiped out before the locals could leave, the fire is spreading THAT fast. Its so sad. We are a fair way from them, but we've had a cool change in the weather today, so here's to hoping the lower temps will allow the firey's to get in there and get them under control.

You know the worst thing of all though? They suspect that the fires were lit on purpose by an arsonist. What kind of person can do something like that? Something that has affected so many families and communities?

If anyone wants to donate money to the appeal for the victims, you can go here Australian Red Cross

OMG, I did not realize there were so many fatalities. I'm sorry for sounding so flip about it earlier. I honestly didn't mean any disrespect by it.

what - you havent read from the beginning?? im sorry, we need your membership card back... :lol::)

I thought that went without saying? I spent a weekend months ago getting all caught up!

pjtp - i dont even remember posting about 3am feedings!! :tt2: tired, but i love every minute of it!!!

Aww sweet!!! Yesterday, I saw that your hub said something about J being 10 days old. I can't believe it's already been a week and a half!

i thought radiohead killed it w/the usc band playing along!

Ba! I ended up only watching an hour. I was shocked to hear about Chris Brown and Rihanna. I heard that Wrigley's has already pulled his commercials. :thumbup:

Facebook is addictive. I think I am going to pass on WOW. Between Facebook, LBT and AC I really don't have time for anything else. Plus, there are some really interesting twitter feeds that I am following that are almost like a soap opera and quite addictive as well. If you like the trashy romance novels and are on Twitter, follow secrettweet!!

Now don't tell me that! I'm already trying to keep up on FB and LBT! When I go through my reading spurts, I either read trashy romance novels or murder mysteries. Bad Susan!

re: your foot - I hope it gets better sooooon! I broke both of my ankles years and years ago so I understand how annoying being off your feet is. I empathize!

OMG I had not heard that it was so unbelievably high. I am so sorry; that's just awful.

OK, all you folks join my Mob or else I'll have Beth raid you! OK, I know I'm not even making any sense anymore.

Am I in your mob? More importantly, are you in mine???

Susan, what is AC?

I like looking at pictures on FB. I have pictures on FB and I like it that other people can look at the pictures, but other than that, I am not getting what the big attraction is. Is it the Wall? You can say things that everyone can see? Maybe it's more fun than sending out mass emails? I just don't get it. I must be lame.

AC is Android Community. It feeds my geeky phone passion.

As for Facebook, it is amazing reconnecting with friends from high school, former coworkers, relatives I don't see very often, etc. Have you clicked on the friend finder? You can search employers, high schools and you can have it check your email to see if anyone you email is on Facebook. I also like joining groups so I can talk to people that have similar interests to mine. Such as phone geeks, storm chasing, etc. Once you get to exploring, there is really a lot you can do there.

You're not the only one, trust me. I prefer WoW where I can kill stuff. :lol:

Beth, sometimes I am a little bit afraid of you. _cor_blimey__by_crula.gif

Come on, SNT, you know you want to check it out.

So, I went for my post-op appointment today. I really thought I would be cleared to go back to work. I am soooo bored of sitting on my couch doing nothing. He changed the dressing, said I am healing well but there is still quite a bit of swelling. He said I am still restricted to staying off my feet, keeping my foot elevated at all times, icing it every hour and using my crutches until at least my next appointment. That isn't until a week from tomorrow! I may go stir crazy by then. I am going to have work fax me some of my stuff so I can at least not get too far behind. The worst part though, I missed the shoot-out and now I am going to miss the Daytona 500 this weekend too! He wouldn't clear me to go, I am so upset! I guess I am stuck watching it from my couch. Yes, I am once again having a self-pity party.

No wine, just diet green tea with ginseng now. :lol:

In all honesty, the mob thing could have been operator error on my part. I haven't been on FB too much simply because to navigate it almost takes a picture map and pin chart. I'm somewhat savvy on most computer things, but FB, I think, is harder for me simply because of the overload of all the stuff.

It's really going up. I thought earlier today it was about 120-something. And I too heard about the suspected arson. I hope, if it's true, they throw the book at whoever did it.

Ah but see, if he abandons raids on a regualr basis he will not be asked to participate in them. And that would be tragic, ya know?

Yeah, a *total* tragedy. :lol:

I will join anyone's mob but will not actually do anything. So if you need the numbers, just ping me.

I am not addicted to but I do like that I can see what people I used to be really close to are up to. These are not people I would be sending regular emails to or Christmas cards or anything like that so without things like Facebook, they would just disappear from my life.

I go up about every two weeks and maybe comment on someone's status or look at pictures. But I don't do much else.

I'd friend all you guys but most of you have said you don't want people knowing you have a band and I am *really bad* about keeping track of that stuff. I know I would just end up accidentally outing people.

So only ask to be my friend if you don't care about that. For your own piece of mind.

PJTP..... I turned 50 today. I'm not getting older I am getting better.

Getting older is getting better. Better than the alternative, anyway. :thumbup:

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.
