About five years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night to the most agonizing pain and my husband (at the time) drove me to the hospital. I thought it might be kidney stones, because I had had those years before. It turned out to be gallstones. I had lost about 70 pounds in about seven months and evidentally my body couldn't handle disposing of all the fat that fast. The specialist I was referred to told me I needed surgery. I argued, kicked, screamed and tried to find some alternative. I didn't want to have surgery of ANY kind. When they finally convinced me that there was really very little choice that wouldn't eventually hurt me....all I could worry about was when I could go skydiving again. They couldn't believe that I would refuse to have this surgery, but would willingly throw myself out of "perfectly good airplanes." I went skydiving the day before my surgery and was back up in the air in about three weeks afterwards (my husband was a stickler about making me follow the rules). One thing....I have a high waist. They do several small incisions in your tummy. One of those was right at my waistline. I had a slight allergic reaction to the stitches and there was the one on my waistline that took forever to heal. Having the pants on the incision didn't help any, as they helped irritate the spot. I did eventually heal and go back to a full normal life. (Well, as normal as any skydiver's life can be) And I don't have any problems eating anything of any kind. Good luck! You can do this!

Does this mean that all this time that I've been taking my vitamins and minerals WITH my Diet Coke, I've just been pissing them all away? No [B]WONDER[/B] I pee so much!!! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Not everyone can be as sneaky and evil as me! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Getting where? Aren't I already here? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Cute. But it would be VERY hard to explain it to my 69 year old mother! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Good thing I never said that then. Of course, no matter how hard you tried to pound it into my vocabulary, I don't really say y'all either. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I must not have reached that particular level in how to talk like a Redneck yet. And this beats "you'se guys" how? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Obviously, MY version of reasonable and YOURS are two entirely different things. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

She does seem to be quite "taken" with the computer. She's either on the keyboard, sprawled across the desk, or batting at things moving on the monitor. Then there are the times that she just plops down right in front of the middle of the screen so I can't see. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

That's actually a pretty name. I didn't know you had a "softer" side. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Oh really? What makes you so sure? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Well, those types of women are great to "play" with, but they're not what most men would consider "keepers." Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

LMAO!! There's a new show on the Lifetime channel on Sunday night called "Army Wives." One of the women, "Roxey" is the epitome of redneck. In fact, she even kneed someone in the balls this past Sunday. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Damifino..... Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Psssttt....Sunny. It's y'all! See I HAVE learned something living in Texas! And come on down!!

Just for you, Sunny! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

What? Hey, at least I didn't leave them up all year long! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Going by that description, I'm NOT a redneck woman. WHEW! What a relief!! (brushes imaginary sweat of worry from brow) Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Valid point. But since there was already one on the back door when I moved in, I didn't think there would be a problem with putting one on the front door too. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

*Boinky covers ears and sings to self* NOT LISTENING! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

When I was married and lived in a smaller city in Georgia, we left the house unlocked a lot of the time. Even at night. But now that I'm basically living alone in Texas, I don't feel very secure. I recently had my landlord put a two-sided key locking deadbolt on my front door. My logic was that if they broke into a window and stole something, they'd have to go back out the same window they crawled into to steal something!

LMAO!!![/B] Well, I think that lets me out then! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Keep the term in mind for future descriptions of me then!

What about her? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
