Good morning,
I can't sleep so, I figure I could use this time wisely to tell yall, not much going on in my side of the world. Weight is OK. But, like most, it has been lower and it has been a hell of a lot higher too.
Doug has his back surgery next Wednesday. So, we have been preparing for that. Myelograms, (that I had to get him wasted in order to do because of the pain of laying flat), Ct's, Xrays, blood work. etc. The usual stuff. But, unfortunately he has to do it.
I have a new co-worker. He is one of those anti overweight people. One of the first conversations I had with him was, He asked me why I had that picture hanging up by  my desk? It was a before WLS pix. I had to have been almost 400lbs in it. I told him because I had WLS. He said "Why didn't you just stop eating? I don't get all of that. WTH?? Then yesterday my other coworker was asking me how Doug as doing and he chimes in and says "Is he overweight????"
I can't stand ignorance or being disrespectful in areas that you know nothing about. I said FYI even people that don't have weight issues have back issues.. then I politely walked off. . GRRRRR.

I hope all of yall are doing well. Prayers for many of you that have asked for them and those that have not and are hurting.
Love yall.Have a great day.

Smile, it increases your face value.

Hi there....yes, I just 'love' NOT those types of people....One time back in the day of Phen-fen, I tried talking to my Gyn about it, and he said just push yourself away from the table...GRRRR....

Today is another high power day at work...and will be working tomorrow morning too...but such the life in tax accounting...GRRRR  Oh, I know...it is job security, but I cant wait for April 15th to get here (3 months away).

Take care and have a good day!!!

I'm witcha Kathy.  Unfortunately, there is no law against stupid people breeding!  Make sure your hubby doesn't get out of bed too soon after the mylogram!  Been there done that and I had serious problems because I got out of bed too soon!  Spinal headaches for a week and in the hospital on a morphine drip!  Not good!  Well, the morphine was, but not the headaches!  LOL!!

Kathy do you need Uncle Guido to come by and manually insert some knowledge into him. I'm sure a bat upside the head a few dozen times and he will have another picture of overweight people.
Scars are like tatoos, but with better stories.

Kathy,

In my oh so nice way, I would have said, "Obviously you never learned to STOP showing off what an idiot you are!".   That is insane.  But unfortunately it happens all the time.

Good Morning Train!

WOOOHOOOO and TGIF!!!!  I'm so ready for the weekend...  Ihoping today will be a slow easy day at work followed by some good down time the rest of the weekend....

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

I found another one-hit-wonder to round out the week, it's Tin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back in Town....  


Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

And that time over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town

You spread the word around

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boy's are back, the boys are back

The boy's are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boy's are back in town again

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

Good Morning Kathy and the rest of my TMB family

Hey Kathy I am looking forward to that fun ride you promised.  Think you can make it to DE to pick me up?  It's Friday what more can anyone ask for!  No big plans for today.  Need to go over to Target later this aternoon to pick up my script and then to Safeway to get a few groceries before Tim and Jon get here tomorrow.  Cant wait to see them.  I had such a down day yesterday. Hardley ate and what I did eat was full of carbs.  We went to TGI's for dinner last night, I had a house salad of which I took two bites and brought the rest home.  I really think I suffer from seasonal depression.  Just get in a funk.  Cant wait to go to Florida next month and get some Sunshine and some alone time with my Mom and Dad.  Mark leaves for school in Florida tomorrow morning at 4:30 am so I will need to just take him over to the base.  There is a bunch of them going so they have a bus that will take them.  He will be gone for a week.  I cant complaine cause a week is nothing compared to all those that are gone for a year at a time.  Ok guess that is all for now.  Special prayers for Meggie (hope she gets to go home this weekend) and for Jenny and Eric.  Prayers also for those that are hurting, or recovering from surgery.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys

Oh Kathy, I'm witcha girl!  One of the reasons I put on so much weight was because of a back injury.  And now that I've lost alot of the weight, people see me walking easier and confront me about my handicap permit!  Dang, can't win for loosing.  I've had a mylogram also.  Make sure he doesn't get up out of bed before they say he can!  Big time had problems with that! 

Well, the "company" has started walking out the Injured on Duty employees again!  I don't know what's up with that!!  I'm just waiting for my day to come!  I guess I need to get back to putting in for jobs on USAJobs again.  I so hate putting in applications!  Especially when I have a job!  At least the Disabled Vet status will help!  I hope!

Well, better get in the shower so I can get to work.  Pray for me, guys!  Y'all have a great day!  Love ya!
