Happy Wednesday! B*TCHFest is here!!!

 





















For you NEW KIDS, HERE ARE THE RULES: 

"B*TCHFest"  is provided as a public service to those of us who have gripes and grievances but who (whom?), for whatever reason, lack a regular forum in which to air them. You are welcome to voice any problems - large or small, important, mundane or ridiculous -  that currently have your panties wadded, your shorts frosted and your gears ground. Don't hold them in and risk future medical issues, wrinkles and/or those pesky gray hairs.

ANY and ALL issues that are plaguing you are open for you to voice; there are no "sacred cows." They say that "feelings aren't facts", so if you're feeling it, it's legit to you. NO ONE is allowed to flame a poster for something he or she writes, however commiseration is not only welcomed but encouraged. Please, no personal attacks against other OH members (at least, not by name) and  ABSOLUTELY NO SURGERY WARS!

I'll start you off with a few gripes of mine, and you all can join in at any time! No limits - come back as many times as you like!

WARNING! Adult content ahead! Posts may (and probably will) contain "adult" content and language. I know that MINE will. Rated TV-MA.



I'm in an okay mood today, so my list will be short. YOU, on the other hand, may feel free to rant until you feel better.

- I'll start small and vague: People here who are "drinking the Kool-Aid." Those of you who don't know what I am talking about may be one of them.

- The weather. Rain, get it over with an move on. This "rain for ten, sunny for 60, rain for 30, sort of sunny for two hours, rain for 30" crap is getting old.

- Why is it so hard for some people to admit that EVERYONE'S band experience has merit? At the very least, NEGATIVE band experiences allow us to see warning signs BEFORE they happen.

- And why is it so hard for some people to NOT **** in everyone else's cornflakes by saying that EVERY band is going to fail? Does that make you feel better somehow? If it does, you really, really need to step away from the computer, get out of the house and go do something worthwhile.

Okay, that's it for now. More later, perhaps . . . 

All I have today is that I'm short on fiber fill for the pillows I just made for my daybed.

That's it.

The Recall election BS is done here in WI... a lot of people are angry (scary angry, actually) and I am staying in my Happy Zone.

Makin' pillows and talking to birds. lalalalalala.

Nic --- I love to visit the happy zone.

I am on a business trip -- and stressed over the amount of work to be done --- so, this afternoon, on my way back to the hotel I went to a Yarn store -- and fondled!!

I also found out that they would ship my purchase home for free-- so I don't even have to stress about fitting it into my suitcase ------- I am now in lalalalalalala land with you~~~~~

Let me just say that 11:00pm is a sucky time to find out that your air conditioner isn't working. Trying to sleep in an 80+ degree room while 8 months pregnant is NOT fun.

1. Craving cheetos instead of lettuce today... not a good thing.
2. Praying that my salad starts to taste like cheetos... probably not going to happen.
3. Did I mention that I wanted Cheetos??!?! Being good is starting to get hard..
4. Since when do I get attacked in post for LIKING and agreeing with a person that no one likes?!?! Get a life people... Tired of the OH bullies. I'm my OWN person...if you don't like it, beat it. And that whole "well, she's a newbie, she'll understand about so and so sooner or later..."....super childish.
5. Ex-boyfriends.... you're an EX for a reason....

That's all I got so far...

I don't think I've ever *****ed but my band is making me cranky today! What I really get irked about is I pay $900 a month for just my insurance and I have NO bariatric coverage (yeah I know it's the employers choice). Yet with the taxes I pay people who are on medicaid can get bariatric surgery. Now I'm not begrudging them, they need it too but with the amount I have to pay for my insurance and the taxes I pay I COULD afford a revision with that amount of money in my pocket. So I pay big taxes and high insurance premiums and can't get a revision but, if I was dead poor I could get surgery in a heartbeat. How is that fair or right? Like I always told my daughter, no one every said life was fair, but sheesh!

I had two fills since unfill and I no restriction.  I realize that I can't get back where I was overnight but now being self pay.............. baby fills won't get it.  The cost is not by volume.  I know that too much will cause me to loose it all or become ill but if I had will power to not eat without restriction, well the band would not be necessary. 
With all that being said I know its just a tool and I know I need to work harder.  It is just so hard trying to re-lose. Trying to get rid of those bad habits we dug out of the trash.

Ok, I paid $20 for a luncheon today for my boss' retirement to eat a cup of food. I was willing to do that for him! Then when I got there and stood in the buffet line to get my food lowland behold - two, yes I said two, pasta dishes and NO PROTEIN! What the ****.

So to end the day nicely I headed out to golf and on the last hole we head for the green to finish and the skies opened up! So ended up wet...
