I would think that they were smarter than that in New York. Who would build a mansion in a subway tunnel????

She apologized later for calling me names but still says she was justified because “I know she cant drink”. Tried to remind her that I told her to watch out while she was drinking but she wouldn’t listen and got mad at me that night. All I can tell her is I will try to do better next time (darned if I do, darned if I don’t).

--I truly believe that Claude is actually two people. One who is articulate, well read, and a skilled master of all trades. He is also sometimes a cunning trickster who types in bold face with misspellings just to try and make us let our guard down.

Yikes!! Cant believe the time. I still have to dig the street tires out for when I get back..
Where you going? Vegas? I should have known that the OL was sucking them down too quick, but she says she's feeling sick... I also believe that he is two people. Maybe he's really an Eisenstein, and trying to fool us.

Man, that is awesome... I know I sound a little weird (ok, a lot), but I'm really estatic for you, and proud too. There is a huge lifestyle change in what you are doing, it takes a lot of discipline and will power. I respect the heck out of you for it, buddy. Keep up the great work!

Mornin, DTR. Just kind of drifting in neutral this morning... want to do some things, but I'm not terribly motivated yet. We'll see.

Be good, have a safe one.

Nah Buddy, not wierd, and Im grateful. It takes a lot of support to make this work. It also takes complete dedication to do this. I go grocery shopping and see all the things I would love to eat and have to have the will power to pass them up and make healthy choices. Its all worth it though. Ive been speaking with the Doctor and Nutritionist who did and helped through my surgery and when I get home I will be speaking at seminars for people who are considering doing the surgery. I cant wait to show others who were in my situation that there is a solution that works, but it does take hard work and dedication.
