I have a date!

Thank you, Aime. I've started paying more attention to the "newly reborns" on the site. Darla has been great with sharing her experiences. Here I come! Mark

Congratulations on your date. It will be here before you know it.

Thank you, Kel. I'm very psyched. Patience and persistence, right? Mark

WOO-HOO MARK!!!!  I know how long and hard you've waited/worked for this!!!!!!!  Yep, I'll second what Steph said about what you'll be getting.  No, Funny Boy, no restaurant coupons, but the binder will give you the parameters of what you're supposed to eat/drink for the first six weeks or so and it'll have some good, easy recipes you may want to try.  Once you're post-op, I can help you with that, too!

Congrats, it'll be here before you know it!!!  Tia

Thanks Tia,  I've decided so long as I don't have to start shopping from the baby food aisle (shiver) , I'll be fine. Its probably a good time to write to the fire mashal and get permission to cook indoors again, huh? Mark

Or maybe just let your girlfriend do the cooking?  Actually, you're in luck since the OSFM comes under the Maryland State Police - maybe I can get you an industrial size fire extinguisher!! ICK - there will be no reason why you should have to go down the baby food aisle!  UGH!!  Just the thought of the smell of some of that makes me wanna gag!!!  Plus, a lot of it has tooo much sugar!  You'll be fine - just remember, it's all about lubrication!!!! Tia

Lubrication?  Now THAT is something I can slide right through on. Hmm,,a GF-3 or GF-4 rating for that lube? Energy conserving and high detergent?  Leave it to an auto mechanic for some "greezy" humor. Mark

Actually, I prefer Pace Mild Salsa and sour cream for my lube!!  I've turned Heather Mod-i's Floyd on to the wonders of lube.  I'm telling ya, salsa helps everything slide on through!!! I've actually spoken at a couple of DVR/Dr. Moen's seminars, and usually get a chuckle when I talk about the "wonders of lubrication!"   Wow!!  An auto mechanic??  You might be sorry you said that on here!  My Dad's always looking for a reliable one!!
