I had my follow up appointment with Dr. Juarez.

I finally managed to go on the right day

He pronounced me a model patient. (I know I'm very lucky so far)

He signed my resturant card and told me no birth control for 6
weeks out. That means no sex either, I know, I asked.

As I was exiting I told him:

"Thank you for performing this surgery. Thank you for pushing it through before the end of the year. It saved my life."

He smiled from ear to ear and squeezed my shoulder.

"Your welcome. That's what I do. Keep up the good work."

Now I wasn't laying in bed but I take back what I said about his bedside manner. If I had to do it all over again he is the only Dr I would go to. The man is genius.

He also let the labs slide until my 6 week checkup
(thank you thank you thank you)

*with your stale bread, yeah is hot...baby, I don't need your cash*

Awesome, except for the sex part. From my own experience and from what I've read from others...your libido is soon going to skyrocket! You're about to go from "Girl Disappearing" to "Lily was dancing on the table..."

That is great Persephone - No birth control does not mean no sex - It just means you had better be a good dancer with great rhythm.

Arrow but can the posse type?

lol omg gasp for breath

That was funny. Thanks for dropping in guys. You are ALWAYS welcome.


"MAMA GOT IT ALL IN HAND NOW..."


Mike,
I just discovered a zip file soundboard from London 7-03-2007
My Posse Can Do. (the best one I've heard) God. Siren. Cool on your Island to name a few. Black Dove (with brain fart improv) And do you have the Happy Phantom improv from chicago? sooo cute. I've been burning cd's all night. Let me know if you want anything and I will figure out how to do it

My posse can do is definitly going on my workout playlist. I adore that song and wish it would have been on the album.
When I no longer wanna tippy tippy ti tippy tippy toe tippy tippy ti all over the world I will rotate it out. I love how Santa sings hi hi hi HO HO HO. oh no FUNNY

I LOVE this song. It's too bad she had too many Tippy tippy ty Tippy Tippy toe Tippy tippy ty all over the world There be things that my posse There be things There be things that my posse can do.
You could tell by the time she hit the states she was sick of it. I don't know that I'll ever tire of it.
I like Matt's tapdancing on the dvd lol

on repeat now


"I don't know what you've been playing. I don't know why I've been staying. I got me some better things to do. I do mind what you've been saying. I don't know why I've been staying. I got me some better things to do. Boys you give me da beat...."

There be things that my posse can do. ohhh you do it again....


Save yourself the lie. I see it in your eyes. You've been having you a wonderful crime. She can flip her hair. I can flip you off. You've got talons but I'm thinking theiy're not enough..."

ttttt there be things that my posse can do

I don't do so well in traffic or with leaders who don't have it I got me some better things to do.

A Formula one Racer or the pope Presidential posts you say aren't for girls that's the way it's been up until today theres another way maybe this girl's got a taste of this wave.

Brothers, I say Hallelujah you proselytise and compute. All dem things things your posse can do....boys you give me da beat....

I don't know what you've been playing. I don't know why I've been staying. I got me some better things to do. I do mind what you've been saying. I don't know why I've been staying. I got me some better things to do. Boys you give me da beat...."

and it's STILL not out of my system.

What Red Hot Chili Peppers would you suggest? I'm trying to decide. I won't ask about NIN. It appears you are NOT a fan?? So I guess youre not down for discussion the whole Tori/Trent/Courtney triangle huh?

"Oh make me over....I'm all I wanna be A human study in demonology..." THAT would be a great work out song too but I have no idea where that cd is.


I twisted the top of my foot. Can't sleep not even the loratab helped just made me loopy (see above) Can't have sex hooo hummm


**burns another cd**

"Never was one for a prissy girl coquette calling for an ambulance reach high doesn't mean she's holy just means she's got a cellular handy almost brave almost pregnant almost in love vanilla vanilla"

Red face I'm not worthy and I have a wish please

Dearest Manda

I notice you are online while I'm typing this - it must be middle of the night/early morning where you are and I hope you catch this before you go to hibernate

I just love this thread and the overwhelming feeling I had while reading it was one of "I'm not worthy and I have a wish please".....

I read all the things you talk about and see all the things that you quote (all of them intrigue me but many of them I don't fully grasp) and whereas I always thought of myself as an "old soul" (compared to those around me) I suddenly realised that I still have many reincarnations to fulfill for me to reach the level of spiritual knowledge that you have achieved.... and that is my wish

Many many hugs

XXX

Default oh my Gwen

I knew there was a reason that I was up beyond just the pain in my foot.

YOU ARE WORTHY!!!

You ARE. Everyone is.

And thank you for saying that but I have MUCH so very MUCH to learn. I'm not all that evolved. If you knew me in real life you would also know my many weaknesses (O hai please fly over the ocean and help me organize my house!!lol) Sometimes I have to learn lessons over and over again. Sometimes I wish I had the clarity and grasp of parenting that my sister in law does and I feel like a failure next to her.

It's like that saying "there's always going to be someone poorer then you and there will always be someone richer" Materalistic but same concept.

We are all here to support each other. My weaknesses are your strengths. And the quotes my dear sista...most of them are lyrics. lol They are suppose to go over your head when you see them in print. You can't feel them unless you hear the music. It just feels good to type out what melody is in my head.

feel free to drop in here anytime.
feel free to ask me anything you WISH.

I'm here for you Gwen! There is a reason we met.

Hey,

I don't take the word SISTER lightly. Not at ALL.

I twisted the top of my foot. Not my ankle, my foot. I was sitting on the couch reading and Ash's friends knocked on my door. I got up to answer and my foot was asleep. I walked two steps without knowing it then crumpled. I still CRAWLED to the door to let the boys know Ash was at the movies with his Grandma.

This happens about every five years just before my birthday. hmm maybe every four. In 2004 I slipped on a patch of ice and couldn't get up. My best friend J had to drive over and help me up. It's throbbing. I can't sleep. Usually the loratab puts me right into dreamland but tonight it's just completly cracking me out. dunno why? And I don't know why this hits this time every few years.

Reason for everything? See, sometimesI doubt that.
