Good Morning Everyone.
Hope everyone is doing great on this beautiful cool day.I love this coolness.Don't like the dreary,cloudy,damp stuff ,but can't have everything LOL.
Jan I put the poem on in hopes it would help those going through trying times.I know it helps me.
Things around here have been wild lately.I have 1 daughter n law i absolutly can not stand.I know i should be nice and i have tried. But that girl just chaps my butt.She is spoiled and has always been hateful to Nikki. But lately she has gotton way out of hand.So i confronted her Fri.I knew when i did that things would get ugly and boy did they ever.We had WWE Smack down right in the front yard.She kicked me in the belly and of course her calling me a ***** ontop of all the other crap really didn't set well with me.Of course my son is mad now which is understandable.But i will not let her continue to be mean to Nikki.Just ain't gonna happen.Imagine a momma wolf protecting her babies and you have a picture of what happened to Kinsey.

Gail has been busy doing the Christmas thing.Sure is gonna be neat this year.
School starts next monthand Nikki is getting excited about going.I'm glad she likes school.

We have gotton 4 really nice zucchinni's out of the garden.Cucumbers are coming on.Had garden green beans with supper last night and garden tomatoes Yummy.Corn is coming on but gonna be small but at least its doing something.

We have 4 kittens left ,2 have just dissappeared.Hope they are ok but also glad they are gone .

We need 2 blowmold reindeer to go with our Santa sleigh to go ontop of the house.So if any of you see any that are not super expensive would ya let me know? They have them on ebay but WHEW they get crazy bidding on them and they sell for a small fortune.
Gonna start Christmas shopping this week.I love it.We would love it if ya'll came to see our house this Christmas.As Lawrence Welk would say its gonna be Wonderful,Wonderful LOL

Talked to Laura yesterday.She is having really tough time with her bypass.She has 2 ulcers,can't eat without throwing up.Dosen't take her vitamines,dosen't get in her protein.She is a mess.And the guy she lives with steals her pain meds and anxiety meds from her.What a butt .

I go to the dr today to get b-12 redrawn.It was high last time.I emailed Abby our Nut and asked her what the level should be for us. And this is what she said We expect B-12 levels to be more than 400 pg/mL. Normal range for us is 400-915 pg/mL. B-12 is not toxic, so I do not worry if it is high.So gonna be sure and let dr know.I think he is going by a non bypass level.

We went camping sat with our youngest son,his wife and our 2 grandkids.I caught 4 pretty good sized channel cats,Jas caught 1,and Gail caught 1 plus he caught a big carp.He had fun catching the carp.They are fun to catch.Also taste good if you score them really good to help with bones.They are so boney,lil bity bones.We just released him back.Nikki caught 6 bluegill she had fun.@ yr old grandson was fishing with his spiderman pole with just a bobber and a sinker but he had a blast.And for just being 2 he can really cast his pole.Jas bbqed burgers and i ate 1/2 of one it just didn't set well. I think it may have been too dry.I usually eat burgers with applesauce helps them go down LOL.
Then sun when we were taking down the tent, those nasty granddaddy longs were just plastered under the rain fly. OMG i was freaking.I hate those things.It looked like a Stephen King horror movie under there.Those things are just plain evil i tell ya.Beady lil eyes and long freaky legs,Evil i tell ya just evil.
Well there ya have it update on us the good the bad and the ugly LOL.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
To those waiting for approval,fighting their dr's or waiting on a date,Hang in there.Anything worth having is worth fighting for.And this surgery is so WORTH it.

Love and Hugs Deb

Pooh was good to see you on the  board with all your news lol some of it was pretty exciting, by the way who one the fight on the front lawn lol
that poem is good for a lot of people cause we never know what others are going thru...even the ones that we think have it made , we dont know what their problems might be...
sorry to hear about Laura....so sad...glad you are starting to get on track....yes our levels have nothing to do with NORMAL PEOPLES LEVELS....as i like to tell everyone we are Hybrids....and like all hybrids we require different levels of things.

dont make it so long in between times of coming and telling us Hi ok? we miss you a lot.

Jan
Well of course i won the WWE smack down LOL. But actually lost alot more than i won. My son disowns me.But he hasnt really been close since he married her and I don't see things changing anytime soon.At least not till he divorces her.Or i her first lol.

I really hope that poem helps someone.I posted it before but i think it needs reposted every so often.I miss ya'll too when i'm away but i try to read every day.
Love Deb

Good morning everyone!  I have a few minutes before my crazy day unfolds so I thought I'd stop in and say Hi.  I worked yesterday at the Extreme Home Makeover.  They are in Ashgrove, MO  and a bunch of Realtors went to work yesterday.  It was fun and the house is BEAUTIFUL!  The big reveal is today and they are going to be shocked to say the least.  They blew up thier old house and this new house is amazing!  The inside is like something out of a magazine.  I've never watched the show but wow they really do it up.This is a really nice family they have 2 kids and  had to take in 4 more to keep them from going into foster care( her sisters kids which they adopted a week or so ago).  8 people living in an 800sf house.  I've been super busy at work, which I'm so very thankful.  I'm looking forward to the meeting on Monday.  I hope to seeya all there.  I'm getting my samples together and I'm going to work on typing a list of them out today so that everyone can mark the things they like and know where to get them.  Brenda Nutt also has some great pics of her tummy tuck surgery, I can't wait to see them.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Lou ;)

Extreme Makeover is one of my favorite shows.  Sometimes I think they are a little extravagant with the new homes, but they do improve the lives of so many.  Some of the living conditions these people have are unbelievable.

Lou the proteins sound good, there are lots of things i would like to try but dont have the money to order them and not like them....cant wait to see you on monday  and everyone else.  i sent out the email to everyone and havent gotten any back saying they didnt get it....maybe they all finally checked out their email  and put us on their addresses.

Morning all...

I just wanted to get on again and let you know that everything is still a go for Thursday morning.  I keep worrying that something is going to postpone it...and I have been waiting a long time to get this done.  I am ready to get this over with...sorry to whine but it consumes my every moment.  Poor Mark got yelled at last night because I was on a hormone rollercoaster.  Thank God he understands and didn't have me institutionalized...lol.

On another note....I saw a plastic surgeon yesterday about the acres of skin I have around my middle.  He seems to think I would be very happy with the results and he didn't demean me for not being skinny.  That was my biggest fear...that he wouldn't talk to me because I am still considered obese.  He looks at the big picture...I am the smallest I have ever been as an adult and I am healthy.  He asked if I was happy where I am....I said yes except for the spare tire I carry.  He lifted and pulled (which is ia little painful...but I was shocked at the difference when he was holding the skin...there was less pain in my back and I could breathe easier...strange) and showed me INCHES he could remove!  It would lift my rear and my thighs in addition to tightening the skin and flattening the tummy.  There would be liposuction involved, too.  I also talked to him about my arms and breasts...I have to think on the arms...they would be the hardest.  But if I do them he would do them and a breast lift at the same time.  Since I am "not so tall"  (his words....I almost died laughing) he explained that implants would not fit my overall body shape and I have enough muscle and tissue to just have a lift.  It's a lot of money, I know....but hubby and I are talking about if this would be beneficial in the long run.  I know what I want to do....the question is, will I?

He also mentioned that a lower body lift sometimes jumps a persons weight loss again.  I'm all for that!

Hope you all have a great day....I'm off to start cleaning this house so it will be clean when I get home.  I hate coming home to a dirty house.  Of course there is laundry to get caught up...I did manage to get some other things done yesterday and I have lots of jewelry to make as I recover.

Love you all....

Peggy best of luck with your surgery, I will be thinking and praying for you.  Speedy recovery.  I don't know what happened to my other post, crazy website.  ;) Lou
