He's not my friend now. He was until we got into a huge political fight on Yahoo Messenger. It ended in him calling me some rather rude 4 letter and 5 letter words. Who knew politics could end friendships.

nothing is funny about these sick public displays.

i really hope all are properly protected tonight - and i never thought i'd need to say that.

Tonight, our kids are at a dress rehearsal for a play they're in. We're picking them up late in the evening. Sadly, we feel the need to be armed.

I am assuming you live in Orange County California from where you say your doctor is from. If you do live in Orange Country where I have lived for 50 years, where do you need a gun. A little dramatic.

I love it how now matter what I say, even if it's personal experience, I'm questioned or accused of something.

If you noticed, I said my kids were in a production. It's not in a very safe place. And I don't give a hoot where I am and whether or not the "County" is generally safe (last I checked, Santa Ana had quite a bit of crime, BTW); if my family's protection is at stake, I take precautions.

Why do you need to be armed? Isn't Orange County an affluent place? Do wealthy folks run about the streets firing on folks when they don't get their way? Do you have a Vote McCain sticker on your vehicle?

I meant no disrespect by my questions, Gadget. I was just curious is all.

I lived in a nice area on the border of a not-so-nice area when the LA riots happened. I will never forget that. Rioting is a very scary thing and spreads very quickly.

But to answer the question about Orange County being a safe area the answer is yes. We have some areas that are not good but overall it is safe. Much safer than LA. As far as affulent this county if full of million dollar homes. To say you need to carry a gun on an election night because riots might start is a little over the top.

You know if this thing goes that way - the way of fighting in the streets like we had in the 60s - I will hold John McCain personally responsible for conducting such a sleezy and rage inciting campaign.

That is too funny. "McCain says rise up and revolt!!"

A friend of mine IMed me today...(he's for McCain)...he said...if Obama is elected within a week or two he will be assinated. He said mark my word too...he scares me...

Eh, give the secret service a little more credit. They're very, very good at what they do.

Who knew politics could end friendships.

Politics and religion are the two biggest relationship enders there are.

Hells Yeah!! On this we agree. I think there should be government oversight / regulation over this (Like in Texas. I just got my concealed carry permit), but if everybody (uh, sane people, I mean) were armed, crime would go way down.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
