Hey

Thank you Christina....What nice things you say.... I'm back posting.....and I'm enjoying it.... Hugs Charlie

Christina--Nice to see your smiling face. Hope all is well with you.

Hey Charlie. I like your new message board pic!! Haven't seen you for awhile. I couldn't link up to the pic I have my own 35th class reunion in August. I'm not at goal yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll cause a minor sensation. The last time they saw me I was 320 lbs. Now I'm a size 12/14 and hope to be a 10/12 by then. I was a blonde before, now I'm a redhead. should be fun!!! It wasn't a big school, only 242 in the graduating class so we all pretty much knew each other pretty well. Glad to see you back posting. Pat

Hey Pat......I know you'll have a wonderful time. I sure did. It was a blast. I don't know why you couldn't link to the website. If you have dial up it could be really slow. Give it another try.....just click the link in the original message. Might take awhile. Be sure to take lots of pics at your reunion to share.... Hugs Charlie

Hey Charlie! Good to see you posting again! I've missed you! Any chance you & Lynda will come to the Ft. Lauderdale OH conference in Aug? I'm having my LBL on Tues (6/27) but I'm planning to attend unless I'm just not physically up to it. Hope to see you there! Vickie J. PS - tried your link & it said the page was moved. I really wanted to see you in your lovely dress!

Vickie....I tried it and it said the page had been moved....I rechecked and its the right URL...so go to the home page then click on the events page and try it that way http://mimsfire.homestead.com/THS1966.html If this doesn't work....let me know..... Lynda and I are talking about the Fort Lauderdale conference. If it doesn't interfere with her schedule (or mine) we will probably go.... Hugs Charlie

I see what its doing...its putting an html line break in the link that we can't see...if you remove the br in brackets (can't post it because its an HTML tag) at the end of the url in the address line...it will link. Oh well.... Hugs Charlie

Charlie, I got in & you look FABULOUS!! You're right, it is a beautiful dress! I'll bet that was fun, showing off the "new" you!! If you & Lynda go to the Ft. Lauderdale conference will you stay at the Westin where the conference is located. I checked with the OH travel guy and it looks like the cheapest room is $149. I think that is a bit pricey. I wonder if there is another hotel nearby that isn't so expensive. Maybe if I feel up to it, I'll call around and see what I can find while I'm in the area next week for my LBL. Take & keep in touch! Vickie J. PS - I LOVE your new posting pic!

Vickie...if you find a hotel let me know....Lynda is the travel QUEEN...she can sniff out the best deals anywhere. If there is any way possible, I am going to the conference. I have communicated with Susan Maria for years....and have never met her. I am going to make sure I do that if I can get down there. Life is good.... Hugs Charlie

Charlie, We need to get Lynda on the hunt for a hotel for us! If there is time on Monday after all my pre-op appointments, I hope to get by Susan Maria's store. Maybe I'll get lucky and will be able to meet her. Hers was the first book I read when I began researching my wls and I'd love to meet her. Take care & stay in touch! Vickie J.
