Bet you're sorry you voted for Obama now

:w00t:

We are now socialist, one step away from communism, the red menace.

I wish Mr. Bush could have run again, he would have wiped the floor with that Osama.

Look at this economy, it was never this bad under Mr. Bush

Spend, Spend, Spend, Who's got the money? Aww, it's alright we'll make more

The only thing I'm sorry about is that I voted for that worthless POS Bush the first time:cursing::w00t: and was even suckered into believing his lies that got us into the sinkhole of a war in Iraq. Bush has been the single worst president and may have set our country and possibly the world into a downward spiral the likes of which we may not recover from for a generation or more. His economic and foreign policy were catastrophic and his blatant disregard for science have cost countless lives to be lost.

Obama is politician, so we know he is not perfect and he will certainly make mistakes along the way. I am extremely impressed with what has accomplished so far and am looking forward to his other ideas.

Nope, you're completely wrong, thanks for playing.

And here I was thinking today at the gym that Obama is doing a much better job than I expected. Not that I expected him to do a bad job, but he's been really blowing me away.

Dan,

You seem to be a funny guy - and maybe you are just trying to be cute here. If you are, great - haha good one. If you're not, well I'm pretty sure you are so far off base you probably can't be helped anyway. Don't presume to know what I do and do not know about politics or economics. You don't know me and you never will. I have been around long enough and have been engaged enough to know the situation, and I certainly know that even 1 more day of Bush or his failed ideas would have caused even more harm to this country. You had your chance in the last 8 years, look what we got for it...

I might know you, we could become best of friends. Roughly same age, same height, same weight, both on west coast. Maybe we could be lap band buddies:w00t:

It could happen, friends don't have to agree politically. But then again, you may consider me snobbish since I have already been banded.

Well, I didn't vote for Obama......but now that he's the pres, I'll cut him some slack....I'm not jazzed about what looks to be the nationalizing of some of the bigger banks, but we'll see how it plays out.

"Oops!" he said "I've gotta go, would you look at the time" as he realized that a friendship could never be; at least until after 13 March. As Dan rode off into the sunset he knew there were some lines that a man just can't cross.:w00t:

I have I told you lately how much you rock? I haven't? YOU ROCK!

On to the subject. This is not what I signed up for. I do not think we should have ever bailed out anyone, honestly. Bush started it, Obama is keeping it going. I don't like it, but I don't have a better idea and I understand that he is trying to keep our country out of a even larger economic crisis.

I'm gonna sit back and let it happen. Me worrying about it isn't going to change things, I am focusing on social issues.

Ummm it's like 30 days in. Not that I voted for the guy but I will know whether my decision was correct or not in a little less than 4 years when I get to decide again.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
