I am so jazzed - I am going to see Trace Adkins in Laughlin on 5/10

Called my gf (she has a great dh who lets her have girlfriend weekends)

and she loves to gamble (Laughlin is like Vegas use to be a LONG time ago - casinos are along the river)

So we are going 5/9 & 5/10 - I get to do something real fun !!! and drool over Trace :thumbup: - I can't say I am a BIG country fan - I am mainly and R&B kinda girl - but really love all kinds of music - but right now I have this thing for Trace :crying:- he is one hot sexy man :tt1:- he could put his shoes under my bed any day tongue.gif...

I too have the same problem with foods. I was banded on 12/6/07 and have lost 45 lbs to date. last restriction was three weeks ago and I still get sick. Today it was scrambled eggs. Not much else will go down.

Janet I'm jealous, I want to go with you. I love Trace Adkins, I am a BIG country music fan and have seen him in concert twice now. My husband and I have been RV'g to Nashville the last couple of years for the Country Music Festival which is a 4 day music event they hold each year. He has performed both years at the show.

We are going again this year in June and hope to see him there again. We've already bought seats for next year. Anyone who is a country music fan should go to this event, it is fantastic. They hold nightly concerts that last 3 1/2 to 4 hours with at least 7 to 8 big name country artists performing nightly plus hold daytime concerts every day that last all day long. It is so much fun. The festival begins June 5 so I'm hoping to have had a couple of fills by that time so I can have some restriction before I go. I'm also hoping since I've lost some weight and hope to lose at least 20 more before we go that I will be able to walk around and enjoy more of the activities this year than I have been able to in the past.

Oh good news, I also found out today that my disability group approved my additional time off of work this week so I won't return to work until next Monday, April 7. I'm still really tired and will try to start walking on my treadmill tomorrow since I need to build up my stamina to return to work. I just haven't been able to do much lately. I'm on day 13 post-op and don't feel too bad except that I'm pretty tired.

We have the Stagecoach Fest here in May3/4/5 and he will be here then too along with Rascal Flatt - Eagles - Carrie Underwood - Tim McGraw - Judds - Trisha Yearwood

Stagecoach

but it's 3 day event and like $95 a day and it's all day - and I think acts are going on while other ones are too (if it's like the Coachella Fest) and I don't have anyone who is going to spend that kind of $$ and I don't know if I could party for 3 solid days - plus I don't think there is seating - just a big area where people stand - I would like to see these people but again some play on friday - some saturday - and then sunday ... To drawn out

So going to Laughlin - and see just him will be cool and it will be fun to get away...

I am sorry you aren't feeling well - I guess I was lucky I was back to work day 6 - I do have a desk job -

I have a cousin that lives in Laughlin. I really liked it when I went there. I drove over from Phoenix. Another very boring ride (unfortunately) I wish it was closer as my dad is very close to this cousin.

I never even heard of Trace Adkins until Celebrity Apprentice. What a nice guy. I heard him sing on that show and I could become a fan of his, and I don't even like country music.

Teri, I hope you feel great soon!

Lady's, I have seen him in concert in Atlantic City NJ and OMG! I love country music. He is a tall cool drink of water. :puke: So for the ladies who don't listen to country, U should give it a listen...he dose have a song called Songs About Me..don't judge just listen to the song, U can see the video the same time on YouTube. Enjoy the concert. :)

Yep yesterday I watched all these videos s song all about me - city girls love country boys - I've got my game on - I LOVE THIS MAN - you can also go to CMA website and see them too...

Denise I am with you on the country but it's not the same country that my Mom listened to - I hated hee haw and roy clark.. I am a little country my Mom was from Texas - so got some of those southern genes - Back when line dancing was popular - we use to go to a bar in Cat City on tuesdays that taught it - we use to have alot of fun..

I would suggest the CMA Festival in Nashville for all country music lovers. It's a reasonable costs for 4 day long music filled events that includes the 3 1/2 to 4 hour concerts nightly with all the big name artists. They hold the nightly concerts in the Tennessee Titans football stadium so you get a reserved seat and have the same seat every night. We've been sitting in the club level which has access to an air conditioned concession level that has TV monitors that you can watch the concert on if it happens to rain or if you're going to get a bite to eat. The cost this year and the last 2 years has been only $135 but next year for the Club level it has gone up to $155, but is still a great deal for everything that is included. If you want to sit on the ground level it is a bit more pricey but DH and I prefer to sit on the club level just in case it rains since this is a rain or shine event and we can go inside and see the show in the nice cool air conditioning. The daytime concerts are held at the Riverfront and also have other big name artists but you have to sit in the hot sun with no shade but these are also included in your ticket price. They also have a convention center where they bring different artists too where you can go and get autographs and pictures taken with the stars that is also included, however, some of them are now charging for a photograph. I didn't used to like country music until a few years ago and I just love coming to this, we now make it a yearly event.

Janet, you will have so much fun. Laughlin is beautiful, the scenery there has so much more to offer than Vegas. Have a blast, I'll be thinking of you.

Denise, I am so excited for you to be a Gramma!!! You are lucky, lucky.

I haven't been there for years - I imagine it's changed alot - I am just the jet setter - going to laughlin then meeting our lucky #7 in July... and maybe Vegas in June it that pans out...

I love this weight loss - can't wait to see how I fit in an airplane seat -

I did fit before but it was tight not really comfortable -

It's such a good feeling to click that seatbelt and have lots of room to spare instead of barely being able to get it shut!

Be careful Janet, on your eating. Flying has always tightened my band.

Last time, I could barely eat for two days after.

Is there anyone in this 50's thread that would be willing to help me out?

I got a free match.com account for 3 months. I got an email from some

company that said if I tried their face cream all I had to pay was $5 shipping and they would give me a free 3 month subscription to Match.

I don't feel confident in my writing. Is there anyone on here who likes to write, and maybe even add a little humor in there, that can help me with my profile?

I would if I was a great writer - are you sure you really get 3 months free of do you have to just pay a prorated price - install of $100 for a yr you only have to pay $70 and if you don't like it after 3 months you can cancel and get your $$ back - I am distrust full - there is always the fine print.

Did you ask the single thread people - I know that you use to post there too and I think some of the girls or guys over there might be a good choice since if I remember right they were on a lot of diff dating sites..

and they would know how to write it up...
