Wednesday Roll Call

Jenn, My very good friend is a dispatcher for Elgin.  Her name is Jenny and her husband is an officer there also.  They should be able to help you out.  My duaghter is only 5 and she has taken a tour of the jail cells already!!!  She said that the toilets are not clean, so she thinks she will stay clear of that place.  Not to mention that my husband is a cop and will kick the crap out of her if she ever sees the walls of that place.  Just kidding..but I tell Ryan that it can happen to anyone's kids!!!  If the kids phone had insurance on it, it should be about $50 or so.  Good luck and I am saying my prayers for you.   Love, Kim

Hello Everyone, Nothing excitin planned for today - just cleaning for the kids birthday friday.  I am having my family and Tims family friday night  for dinner and cake.   We had the kiddie party for them last Saturday.  I am still recuperating from that extravaganza.   27 kids at a mini golf place.   One child got the flu in the moon bounce - NOT FUN.  Poor kid  - I dont know if the flu or the embarrassement of getting sick in the bouncer was worse for him.    Danny says he still is not back to school.    I have to go to the grocery store today and pick up my rug cleaner from the repair shop.  Stupid thing is a lemon. I bought it in June and it has been in the repair shop 3 times since.  It doesnt work more than it does work.    I guess the turbine keeps konking out on it.  Hoover will  not give me a new one!  They will just keep paying to fix it.  If it does not work yet again I swear I am going to be the digruntled wanna wash my carpets woman!    They have replaced the turbine 3 times, the water tank, the bottom receptical that holds the dirty water and the brushes.   Dont ya think it would have been cheaper for them to just give me either a new machine or my money back?   ARGHHHHH. My fill got cancelled monday.   They do them under floro and I guess the hospital needed the room for an emergency procedure.   In a way I am glad b/c I did not relish the idea of driving to Loyola in the snowstorm Monday.  But now I still need a fill........  I have to call to reschedule.   Trying to decide what to make for dinner today?????  Anyone have any ideas for me? Have a great day today .... the sun is shining which is a start right?  Hopefully warmth is not far behind.  Off to exercise and watch All my Children ( I know  - I am addicted) Gina Keep smiling

Good afternoon Illinois! Not much going on today, still having computer problems. Have a great day everyone!

Well today isn't a good day for me.  I was laid off today.  So it is going back to job hunting.  I don't like job hunting, but now I have to. On a brighter side, I am still losing, I finally broke the 220 barrier.  I AM 219 pounds!!!!!!!!!  YAY!!!!

Barry, what a bummer! What kind of work do you like to do?

Connie 

Barry, I know you are having other issues right now, and then to add a lay off to it too. Keep thinking positive thoughts, and remember, even downers have to end at some point for all of us. Congrats on breaking the   220 barrier Hugs

First congrats on smashing that 220 barrier, Please take the time to reward yourself with something. I am sorry to hear about being laid off.  What kind of work do you do?  Just think of this as an opportunity, and you never know what will land on your doorstep.  

First of all ladies, thank you so much for your support.  I love this board and I am glad I was asked by my former employer to check it out.  I used to work for a surgical weight loss division.  I am not sure I can say much more than that.  While I worked for a surgical weight loss area, all of us can agree it does work, and I will never say it doesn't.  My life it totally different now because of it.  that is also how I will move forward with my life and career. As for the breaking the 220 barrier, I bought guitar hero for my Wii, and have been playing it a lot lately.  I love the game.  It was a nice treat for me.  My next goal is 7 pounds away!  100 pounds lost!  I can't believe I am this close, and I might achieve my goal weight this summer at this rate!  I just have to say, WOW!

Hey Barry - Congrats on the wl..  and I'm really sorry to here about the lay off.  Just remember when a door shuts, anothor will open.  Keep the faith, I know it's hard but things do happen for a reason and I trust that "he" will use your talent. Take Care, Christina

Well friends, I stayed home Monday and Tuesday, as I was still having that dizzy / light headed feeling.  It was so bad on Sunday, it made me feel nauseated.  I am not running a temperature, so I don't know if this is related to my RNY.  I know that I am not dehydrated because I have a hydracoach water bottle and drink around 80 ozs of water a day, with the air being so dry.  I am at a loss to what it could be.  My lab results will not be bac****il friday at the earliest, maybe it something with being low on a vitamin or mineral.  Any suggestions....I hate feeling this way. I have 21 more pounds to go for Dr. Kane's goal he set for me to meet at my next appt. in April.  I have 7 weeks to get there.   Smile, the weekend is just around the corner and they are saying close to 50 degrees on Sunday.
