Anyone wanna join in please do. It would be nice

Hope you are all enjoying your Labor Day

Some one at this site, whom shall remain nameless told me to go out and have a big ol greasy cheeseburger today (since I'm seeing the surgeon tomorrow LOL), anotherwords, get it while I can lol. I didn't, I had a big ol fattening salad today and a baked tater (of course it has butter & sour cream on it, you nuts?). I'm so full I think I'm done eating for the day lol.

I took DD to the Turtleback Zoo today. MAN, I never realize that, that zoo was all hills, I mean HILLS !!! My 4 year old was like "WHOLEY FISH PASTE MOM" lol. I told DH that next year this time, he's gonna have a hard time keeping up with me. Dispite the hills, this fattie did pretty darn good

What did you all do today? How are the diets going along and exercise? is everyone shakin their booty?

Chime in, lets chat.

Yeah, Buddy! Woo Hoo!! The Party's at Ira's!! He's raking in the BIG bucks, now...

lol

TGIF !!!!!!!!

Whooooooooohooo its FRIDAY DANG !!!!!!!!

I'm so happy I don't have to come to work tomorrow, this cold is wearing me OUT, OUT I tell you !! The coughing is keeping me awake all stinkin night.

No exciting plans for the weekend, I'm just going to relax with DD b/c she's sick too. My FIL's birthday is tomorrow but I doubt we'll go.

Ira, thats great about the stock... good for them and YOU!

Whats everyone got planned for the weekend? anything exciting?

Whats a PB that I see mentioned periodically???

Productive burp... its when you chunk, toss your cookies. From what I've read here, you DON'T want to have one.

Doesn't sound very appealing, what are the causes or triggers of them??

OK, neither Eileen or I actually have bands yet, so you MAY want to use the search function - type in PB and like a thousand posts will come up from lots of people who DO have bands - but, I will give you the wisdom I have gleaned from countless hours of hanging out on LBT:

PB's are caused by eating too fast, taking too-big bites, not chewing enough, or any combination of the above.

It can also happen if you have too much restriction.

Eat SLOW

Take TINY little bites

Chew. Chew until you think the food is mush and then chew some more.

For the most part, it seems that if you follow these rules, you will avoid the infamous and much dreaded PB.

BUT - if you do have one, you need to do liquids & mushies for a day or two afterward to let the irritation in the esophagus calm down.

I am just quoting the folks that actually have the band - use the search function and check out words of wisdom from the already banded...

:]

Bravo Beanie, good job

LOL

It's scary that I know who Mr. Noodle is!!

Well, fill me in. I have managed to miss that reference in my travels. And I SOOO yearn to know... :]

lol

He's Elmo's "human" friend in Elmo's world on Sesame Street.

Scary that I know all of Barney's favorite songs also!lol

:banana

YEEEE HAAAAA! Just found out were going to the rodeo Saturday night. Give me a man in boots and a cowboy hat any day - teeth are a must!

I love you, you love me.... EEEEEWWWWEEEE!!! My husband says he is fascinated by the Teletubbies and the little sun... Which is incredibly frightening, since we don't have any kids.... (EEEK!)

He also calls my LBT friends the Krelboines... who knows that reference?

(Go Lisa - ride! ride! ride!!)

Ahh but there are two Mr. Noodles (neither of them talk) and there's Mr. Noodles Sister.

Now Mr. Noodles is the original, you see him occasionally and then there is

Mr. Noodles Brother Mr. Noodles who died a few years ago, they think he killed himself, he's the one you see alot on tv.

I haven't seen Mr. Noodles sister Miss Noodles in a long time. They all do little skits in Elmo's World.

Beanie, tell your DH that there is nothing wrong with watching or liking kiddy shows, I still watch them with my DD... actually its all we watch. I couldn't tell you any adult shows that are on since 2001 LOL (really earlier than that, I lost it when reality shows hit the air waves). Krelboines hmmmmmmm sounds like he's a Trekky lolol.

Lisa have fun tonight at the HODOWN!!! I like my man in just a hat and boots too....(nothing else LOLOL).

Nothing planned for me this weekend, I gotta try to get rid of this cold...

How about you all ?

Good Sunday Morning

How is everyone today? Looks like we're gonna get some rain today judging by those clouds in the sky. Yesterday the weather was beautiful, you can feel fall is in the air. Can't wait to go apple and pumpkin picking. Apple cider donuts and apple cider mmmm.

Whats going on today in your world?

Well, today is the first day since I don't know when that the temp has dropped low enough to go outside... It's heavenly.

Krelboines - actually, I misspelled it. It's Krelboyne - Krelboynes are the gifted class in Malcom in the Middle. What a crazy show.

So, Lisa, How was the rodeo?? Did you get your fill of boys in chaps?
