Something is wrong with Christmas



Recommended Posts

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD, why did you do this? Why did I look? Oh, no, I'm in a LOT of trouble now. This salt and sweet combination is calling my name ....:faint:If I don't post in the next few days you'll know my band has exploded due to ingestion of too many of these ... these ... these treacherous, traitorous, delectable things! (pssst, by the way, what's candy quick?)

Your post made me laugh so hard! Like laurend said, it's not that bad if you do it in moderation. Just breathe..........clear your mind..........think of broccoli...........is it working?:heh:

OK....gotta love this... So people don't have to believe in Jesus in order to Celebrate his birthday (birthdays are a pagan ritual in and of itself--check out your bible, the only two people who every celebrate their birthday in the bible were pagans), which really never took place in December (Imagine a baby in zero degree weather, surviving overnight in a manger), because It's pagan holiday. And everyone's probably going to "hell" anyway for celebrating this pagan holiday, so Pagan or Christian---we may as well exchange lots of presents, run up our credit cards, curse out the dumb cashier in the store who doesn't ring things up fast enough, drink too much, and eat alot, and return all the "stupid" presents the next day.... all in the name of someone whom most don't believe exists... in a country in which evolution is taught as fact and where they want to remove the word God from the flag salute ........hmmm...makes perfect sense

Pretty much.

Merry Christmas!

One thing I LOVE about Christmas is that I get to do a ton of cooking (and it's typically fattening stuff that I usually don't eat anyway). What's sad is that I usually don't eat it myself. I'll make tons of Cookies and breads (zucchini, pumpkin, banana) and bars (lemon bars, lime bars, cheesecake bars, butterscotch brownies), but I usually just have a few pieces and give the rest to my family. Heck, some of it is stuff that I absolutely hate, but make anyway because my family likes it.

WTH? come to my house and cook and bake darn it!!!!!!!!:whoo:

I love Christmas. Because of our jobs, this is the only time of year that we can take a three week break and travel to Texas and Mexico and visit our families. My husband has a very large family in Mexico and they cannot travel over here. It is a great time for us, a time to take a break and be with our loved ones.

no.... i guess it was more of me expounding on her/the true meaning of Christmas, ...beginning with her interpretation and ending with the truth as I see it...

I get it that everyone thinks it's the greatest time of year, but the idea Christmas is just so wrong on so many levels.... it's sacreligious.

Actually I am a Christian, that doesn't Celebrate Christmas :(

But Thanks anyway .

Actually, I was being sarcastic :) I gathered from your anti-Christmas stance that you don't celebrate. But you are welcome, anyway!

Oh. My. Goodness.

You were "expounding on her the true meaning of Christmas" ?

Why do I find it funny that you were "expounding the true meaning of Christmas" to an adult woman. Who has her on belief system? (of which you know NOTHING about? )

And it's only the truth as you see it. Other people have their own interpretation's.

Not bad at all. It's a really easy recipe.

Ingredients:

1 block of milk chocolate candy Quick

1 bag of Ruffles plain potato chips

Melt the block of chocolate in a double boiler on low heat. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Dip each chip and put on lined cookie sheet in a single layer and let sit until chocolate is firm. Chip can be dipped fully or halfway. (I like it halfway dipped.....more of a salty-sweet effect)

See........I told you it was easy.

Awesome, thanks, I think I will give it a try for a special holiday treat!

      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
