Plain, sometimes your taste in movies is just plain sophomoric!

I must admit I was thinking the same thing.

Look people. Some things, like the concept of "romantic love" and "gravity" are debatable. Some things are not debatable. The fact that Anchorman is indeed the best movie of all time is not debatable.

I have to admit, I'm with you on this one Plain!

He isn't funny to me. I don't know why. Then again, my DH said I don't know what funny is. I love me some Bill Engvall stand-up though. That is what I am watching right now as I get dressed. 15 Degress Off Cool is some funny stuff first thing in the morning.

Dear Dr Plain

I feel compelled to confess that not only have I never seen this "Anchorman" movie of which you speak, but I've never heard of it either. Who wrote the original novel? Is it out in paperback yet? Why are the other patients in your waiting room starting to look at me funny?

I look forward to your answers to these and more questions.

Regards

Fanny

I do not think Anchorman is in the least funny, but that isn't a problem. In fact, that is probably a testimony to my sanity.

However, I feel compelled to tell you that your waiting room has an interesting (dare I say somewhat frightening)collection of women (I notice the absence of men with some dismay), some of whom are carrying bags of clothespins and cheetos, while another woman is fondling a bag of what appears to be vegetables and another woman calmly sits with a bag of wriggling writhing snakes.

I thought I was the only patient you had time or interest in seeing, but apparently you are in to group activities. Is there a group rate?

Bill Engvall is pretty funny too. "Larry the Cable Guy", though.....I just don't see it. Maybe because my whole region is populated with real life Larrys. Anchorman is rife with that weird non sequitur humor that appeals to me.

Dear Plain, Why are the other patients in your waiting room starting to look at me funny?

Fanny

Because you're not wearing any pants.

PS- You need to watch a copy of Anchorman with your sweetie. It's a.....love story.....of sorts.

Plain

Well, it is kind of an intellectual movie, tap. Watch it again with a critical eye appraising the Nietzsche-esque themes for added appreciation. Plus, Brick kills a man with a trident.

apparently you are in to group activities. Is there a group rate?

Tap, let's not discuss my sexual preferences here in the open. PM me later on, with a detailed description of what you're wearing....

Look, my insanity is not a secret, but I prefer it not to brought up at every chance. Cheers. :lol:

Who would have ever thought that we would agree. I don't like Larry either. Mark this date down. It may never happen again.:lol:

But don't you want to 'own' your issue, and monitor your progress? You mean public humiliation isn't part of 'humor'????? So much for most comedy, video clips and youthful pranks. :tt2::)

      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!!
