....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

Oh, my! Nothing like sexy underwear to be the topic of discussion at the family gatherings. Beats conversations about sports and politics, though.

I can hear it now:

"Hey...how 'bout that lacy underwear?"

My grammas when I was 12 announced to everyone in McD's that I had on my first bra and it was a C cup! SO that would be TAME in my family! Yes, the complete and utter horror of it....:tongue2:

LMAO...ahh...fond memories of childhood humiliation.

Oh yes - it still comes up at our ritual gatherings (birthdays/holiday parties). I still turn ten shades of red. I'm usually not easily embarassed, but that one does it for me. 275 pounds of sexy lacy underwear is not a mental image my in-laws probably wanted...nor one I wanted to give them. Kids just will say the darnedst things. Of course she still thinks it is funny.

They (granny panties)don't look so good through your pants when they actually fit and you think, umm, KNOW that you are looking good, sort of bunch up and you don't get that smooth look. LOL

(me looking at the myself in the mirror at wk and it's too late to go back home, so you sort of pull them up and you look like Erkal (sp) on Family Matters).:tongue2:

ok that just made me spit my tea laughing!!!!

i prefer the boy cut panties myself, in fact went to VS last wk w/my friend (first time there since being banded) & thought i'll treat myself to some cute panties/tanks. i buy a large bottoms, thinking i'm STILL a lg, come on put on for hubby, and he's like they're TOO big. said it looked like i had a diaper on. here i was thinking i was sexy...LOL:tongue:

LOL - ya'll are too funny!

I don't look in the mirror backwards - or I'd probably have the same problem....maybe I'd start hearing a loud BEEP, BEEP, BEEP as I turn around. I probably have wadded grannies too A Lot Less - living in ignorant bliss :-)

I like bikinis, and the hipster shorts (which I can walk around the house in)

I went through my lingerie drawers, cleaning out things that are too big now..

Size 26/28 lace crotchless thong. I put it on for giggles, and was horrified.. I really don't think I could have worn it when I got it, my bottom half was never as big as my top.. must have come with a corset or something.. yeah.. I was oblivious.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tongue2::w00t:

AMEN to TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so ready for the weekend.

I don't do bikinis...I tried - they'd (tried a couple of years ago - thus past tense) roll down the fat on my stomach and get stuck under my apron. I'd be constantly going to the bathroom to roll them back up.

so hubby took off today, TGIF - so we were going to play golf.

he decided to go w/his buddies, & they hate me playing with them cause i talk too much....so i'm here on LBT talking too much....

must put laptop away....LOL

I'm supposed to be working....Ah-hum....S-L-O-W day.

We are going to Providence Canyon tomorrow (Known as the Little Grand Canyon) in Georgia. I've never been, but DH went when he was a kid. I'm looking forward to it. Lot of walking and climbing.

DH and his friends are rude to not allow you just for talking too much...how dare they! I call that entertainment. They just don't want you to know what they are talking about - LOL

they're silly cause i'm better than them & it interrupts their male bonding....lol

hubby doesn't get much "boy" time with his friends, due to his buz travel - so i can't complain....been reading a bunch HERE,, and there's lots of interesting stories....

Have you seen the new Success Stories section? I was just checking it out. I like it!!! - some positive reinforcement. I think we all need that sometimes.

Posting to post that I met my very first LBT'r today! Bimbabe and I knew that we were going to be at our surgeon's around the same time. I was being a stalker and asked another lady if she was on here. Neither she nor another lady in the waiting room had heard of LBT but were very excited to know about it. Do I get a toaster for bringing in 2 new folks? :-) Oh and I told my hairdresser about LBT. She has a friend thinking about WLS.

Bimbabe and I are very excited about our upcoming surgeries. Our surgeon has moved 100% to the Realize band; I don't know if I have an opinion about that or not. Hopefully she and I can hold each other accountable in the future. We should hear Wednesday about our pre-op and surgery dates. Yippee skippy!!!

PS - The upper GI wasn't as bad as I had thought. Having said that, I'm not offering to do one for fun next week, mind you. She had me rolling around on that table like a fat, flopping fish. She said, "yea, we call this table aerobics." I said, "if I did aerobics, I wouldn't be fat!"

We need more of it. I am so sick of the complainers. Does that make me a bitch? I am so over it...

I was happy Alex added that too. I don't feel like enough of a success story to post in there. I need to stop eating ice cream!
