Shrek!

Ok, so I'm almost 48 and had not seen SHREK I yet. It was on tv last night, NBC at 8 pm. One of the first songs in the movie was ALL STAR by SMASH MOUTH. I used to love this song and now I know why. It cracked me up and stuck in my mind all night, because the 2nd line is the song is what I woke up singing today: She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead If you remember, making that sign on your forehead means LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Remember Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble belonged to a club called the WATER BUFFALOS? The Grand Poo-Bah. They had this hand shake of the brotherhood. So, I can see those of us who are both pre-opers and post-opers at a gathering greeting each other with the "L" on the forehead as our "handshake". LOL This is the chorus of ALL STAR: So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow My interpretation of this is chorus piece is what I know I have done. I strayed off the main streets in my life (eating to excess, no exercise). I do believe it has made me a stronger person to have walked down these back streets. What's the saying, "what doesn't kill ya, makes ya stronger?. Well, I am stronger woman emotionally, spiritually and now on the path of being stronger physically. I have always had a song in my step, but with my face hung towards the sidewalk no one heard it. Well, my head is now high and my song will be heard! I love you guys! "L"osers and soon to be "L"osers!!!!!!! Muah! HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO! I watched Shrek again last night. Im 41 and have the DVD and when I need a really good laugh Shrek does it for me (my kids think im nuts!). Love the Fred and Barney, I had totally forgot about that. Thanks for the Monday Morning Laugh! Have a great day. donna

HAHA! Glad I have the cartoon support! My son is 21 and knows I'm nuts! I live alone while he's at college. If anyone were to walk in while I'm watching tv, laughing the way I do sometimes, they would want me committed!

I watched Shrek last night too!! My hubby thought I was nuts!! It was good!! Since we are post op, aren't we in our second childhood???!!! (I am sticking to that one, lol). I am proud to be a loser with you Cheri!! ~~Betsy

Congrats on all the wins!!! How wonderful for him and the team. I miss my son playing ball He played baseball, football, basketball, sang in the chorus and a capello group, was in the plays and more...when he went to college 3 yrs ago...it all ended! Now, he coaches while going to college...both football and baseball at the local high school. The HS has paid for his CPR/AED certification, along with his football and baseball certifications! They've offered to pay for his basketball coaching certification, too! He will have a great resume! I am feeling great! I think the smell would have killed me! LOL

Hes gotten use to the attention put on me by my weight loss and never fails to defend me if someone pipes up with " your mom took the easy way out of losing weight".....He is quick to rattle off what happens if i drink even water to fast "".....or that i can NOT tollerate sugar or i OR i end of in the with fried food..................maybe to much information for some but he gets defensive.....LOL................Keep on keeping on Cheri...drink drink drink....the view on the loosers bench is kinda nice eh ?..

Thank you, you too! My best friend of 33 yrs basically tells me I took the easy way out. I did great with WW and CURVES, but always yo-yo when I get bored. She's 5' and only needed to lose 20 - 30. Which she has and looks great in her size 10s. I need to lose over 100, so I took the right way for me! I try to just sip, not gulp...would hate to plug my portal...lol
