My attorney told me I can actually send a pic from my camera to my puter using e-mail. What WILL they think of next?

Rain, what rain?

Delarla, I LOVE your picture threads and I have to say I'm always stunned at what a beautiful couple you and your husband are!!

Also....is that nail polish on your pup's toes there in that shot with you and her in the window???? Her nails look pink. If so that's COOL.

Ha! I think thats only a Texas store now.

BUT - in North Carolina they have a grocery store called Harris Teeter!!!

Mike has his own name for that one.

I think Virgina still has a few Piggly Wigglys? We always went there when we visited my grandparents!

I wonder what Mike calls Harris Teeter? I'll go ahead and say it, we call it the Hairy Peter. And the Home Depot on Wendover Road in Charlotte? That's the Homo Depot on Bendover. get it?

Love the dancing in the rain pic. Isn't that neat about the camera phone? Just e-mail it! The pics aren't as nice as a regular digital camera. Mine always come out very grainy unless the light is really good. But, it'll do in a pinch!

Great shots !! Everytime I see those beautiful bikes I can't help but think of the Orange County Chopper guys that work pretty close to me. I used to their show on Discovery all the time.

I would post some pictures but I'm sure you'd all get sick of looking at my DD (who will be 4 next month) because she's all I take pictures of LOLOL.

THANKS FOR SHARING !!!

(now I'm thinking..........mmmmmmm I gotta have some pictures I can share lolol snort).

Duh, we were going bye-bye so of course my little girl got a manicure and a pawdicure (pink is our signature color.)

I'm still laughing at all that hail too. It's just too weird considering it's hot outside, then chunks of ice start falling from the sky?

Leatha, are there really still Piggly Wiggly stores? How funny is that?

I know a bunch of you live in really cool places. Do I gotta come there and take my own pics? I know ya'll have cell phones, so start snapping, and thanks for all the nice compliments. I love sharing pics.

There were thunder & lightening storms all weekend, so I couldn't get any scenery shots. But I got a kick out of these kids choppers. Can you imagine parents actually buy these things for kids? Look how little these are!

My nephew actually bought one of these for his 7 year old son, he rides it great! They really are cool! His has a big fat tire on the back and all. He loves it, tells me all the time "Aunt Betty, my bike will beat your bike!" I just keep telling him to "bring it over and I'll race him!" We have a good time teasing each other. :)

Great pictures!

Betty, you gotta get a picture of that nephew! The pics I took don't do those tiny bikes justice.

About Big Bear, I spent half my life there before I met Chris, and I loved feeding the wild burrows. This time I brought a whole bag of veggies and potatos, but I was sad to learn that the burrows were all removed by the government years ago. Apparently, the seasonal residents complained that they were a nuisance. Bastards. I used to sit on my friend's front porch (she lived in a cabin there) and hand-feed the burrows dog food and potatos. I can't believe they are gone.

I wish you ALL would get your cameras out. The only way I'll ever see the rest of the world is to live vicariously through others, so start snapping! I get a kick out of seeing other parts of the country... someone send me a picture of a Piggly Wiggly!

Here ya go! This one is on Hwy 17 in Surfside Beach, SC. Enjoy!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
