MONDAY WEIGH IN!

Yikes, Jenn! I haven't experienced any huge hailstorms since I've been in CO, but my sister had an experience with a fierce hailstorm a few years ago where the hailstones were the size of softballs and were coming down so violently that it destroyed her garage door.  I have also seen cars with huge dents in them (kind of like pockmarked skin) from hailstorms. I'm with your husband.  After my experience with the hurricane, and the small tornado I experienced in St. Louis, I'm not in a hurry to move where the wind can carry you cross country in two seconds.  At least with earthquakes, the suckers just hit and by the time you realize, "Earthquake!", it's over.

Hey there...I have never seen your posts before...we have the same FABULOUS doctor and the same first name!  Amazing!  I see you just had your surgery last month.  Welcome to the losers bench!  Its nice to see a local WLS friend online!!  Wishing you lots of success!!   Jeanine F

Hi Jeanine! It is amazing to find another Jeanine (spelled the same way, too) close by with the same doc (who I agree is fabulous!). I'll admit I have been mostly a lurker for a few months now though I did see your posts just before you had surgery (I was thinking good thoughts for you that day) and I think we actually were at the same info session last summer. Thanks for the good wishes! Jeanine P

How cool is that?  Also, Estelle from Brant Lake and Inkerdoodles from Rotterdam both have Dr. Clarke and have had recent surgery.  Estelle posts more than Lisa (Inkerdoodles)...she's the gorgeous red head LOL.  Anyway...you remember seeing me there last July???  Small world, huh?   Jeanine
