I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

Tracy, what do you say to your doc to get diet pills? ...and what do you get? My doc won't give me squat.

Diet pills?????????

Sounds good to me!!!!!!!!!

Never thought of that!!!!!!!!!!

By the way are they expensive? My insurance doesn't cover ANY weight

TracyK, Give it up. We want the scoop.

Hey girlies,

Late check-in today, busy day... work, etc. Work... what a concept! lol! But I do do some, every so often!

DS has late soccer practice this eve... doesn't start 'til 7:15! oh my. Will take a coffee & my knitting & that should keep me entertained.

Enjoy your eves!

Jane, my BCBS won't cover any obesity treatments, but my band doc put me on phensomethinoranother a month after banding (for 1 month) and BCBS did cover a prescription.

put me on phensomethinoranother .

Took me a minute, but I finally got it. LOL

Heya ladies!

Survived the day....made a ride back up to Durango, to exchange a pair of flip flops. I was saying I liked them, they are Teva, and they have these knots in them in the criss cross straps---I thought they were pretty---and so Rick grabbed them and bought them for me. Well, he grabbed an 8----and my heel was right ON the end. So took them back and tried a 9 and they did not have the exact same one, which was a blue/khaki combo......so while I hum-hawed whether to go blue or brown, Rick paid and bought both!! Lucky me! Now if summer will come back I will wear them!

I can wear them to work on Thurs. & Fri. When I go casual. Most of my dress slacks, I wear the other days are too long to wear flat flip flops with.

Funeral went about as expected. Was sad that she died, but she lived a long and fruitful life, she was a christian, and was ready. I was kind of put off by all the nieces and nephews, and distant cousins who come out of the woodwork and boo hoo'd all over the place! I mean, my SIL has had birthday parties for her for all the 70, 75, 80, 85, 90th.....and I have never seen half of these people! Yet today they all acted like they were there all the time! She lived in a house right next to my SIL & BIL - her son, it was HER property. But she was there for all holidays, all cook outs, etc. If they come over here, they brought her. Occasionally her DD from TX would come or her son from RI would come, but these others, never seen or heard of them before, and I just wanted to ask them, if they didn't think coming to see her before she died would have been a better plan than coming now.....cynical I know, I am sure they were sad, but why wait til it is too late????

I fought high blood pressure for years, so diet pills were a BIG no no. I had never thought of even taking them since. I am afraid I would blow up my heart! LOL Good Luck Tracy----you KNEW better than to get on that scale girl!!!

Jane, hope you are feeling much better quickly!

Suzanne, I think I would let hubby mow while I cooked! Oh yeah! That is what we just did!!! I cooked supper, grilled some steak, had some baked potatoes and sauteed some onions and sliced mushrooms. Rick mowed the lawn----it needed it too!

Now he is out totally annoying everyone in the neighborhood I am sure, he has his chopper running, and it is running rough, so he is wrenching on it, and revving it up over and over........he tries to be considerate, and will quit well before dark, but there is no other way to get it.....and there are other neighbors it does not affect, as they do the same thing!!! One with bikes as well, and another with a stock race car!!!

I am going to go take my book out to the back yard swing, and enjoy the fresh mowed yard.....see y'all in awhile!!!

Well, basically this is how my doctors appt went. I showed him my rash under my nose...he told me what kind of (herpes, not shingles thank God) meds to take and gave me a diff kind of cream.

Then I said, "I've got good news and bad news. The good news is I still haven't smoked a cigarette since March 15, 2008". The doc is chuckling at this point....he knows what is coming....so he says "let me guess what the bad news is". I replied , "YOU GUESSED IT...I have gained like about 45 pounds, SO I need you to hook me up with some Adapex and I will come back and let you see how I am doing in a month or so". VOILA. Done, easy peasy. The generics is phentermine 37.5 mg. THE BEST.....I zoom around for hours and hours and do not even think about food. I get loads of stuff done too...and I talk like 95 mph and wont shut up. The bottle of 30 pills is like 35.00 from walgreens. My insurance doesnt pay for weight loss and diet pills either so I just hit my doc up today when I was there for something else and killed 2 birds with one stone, that way it was still just my 15.00 co-pay for the office visit.

So, starting tomorrow I will be zoom zoom zoomin'...AND hopefully my face will be clearing up too.

OH...the pills also have a diuretic (sp?) in it so I will potty ALOT! YAY!!

Goodnite :grouphug:

A good friend sent me this link in email. I loved it and when it got to the end, I realized that this is the author of the book I just read on the way to Canada. The Middle Place Loved it, loved the video!!

I am reading the Middle Place now, and really love it. It is a great story, almost done.

What is it about???

It is a memoir about having breast cancer and her supportive family. It goes between current time and her childhood.

Going to bed, hope I feel better when I wake up. I felt better today and now am real achy. YUCK!!!

Am I really the first one to post? That is a rarity!!

I slept about 3 hours last night. Don't know why, couldn't get comfortable. Have a meeting this morning. I think after the meeting I will come home and take a nap!!

Have a good day!!!!

Make it a great day, everyone!
