I had bariatric surgery in 2018 when I hit 300 pounds. January 2019 I spent a week in the hospital (including 3 in ICU) with pancreatitis caused by gallstones. It really sucked. I'm fine now and exercising regularly. Thanks for caring.
I'm glad you're ok. I considered bariatric surgery as well. However, for all things medical, I go through the VA. They insisted I take a 16 week course first (MOVE). I lost 30 pounds doing that, so, I thought I'd keep it up instead of the surgery. That was 4 years ago. I haven't lost any further weight as my schedule and control of my house and groceries went out the window when my adult son moved back home (long story). Anyway ..., I gained back ... between 5 and 10 pounds, depending on the day. But, now with COVID 19 lockdown, I've gained another 15. So, I'm about 10 pounds less than when I first thought about the surgery.
Yes. I understand why people refer to him as a child, but that endears me to him to be perfectly honest given that he seems sincere in his beliefs. Bear in mind, though, I grew to be fond of Dayton.....
I put some serious thought into this post. Go fuck yourself! Seriously, not a bad idea but someone has to correct the leftist idiot brigade here, no?
Hmm. @Fisherman's Worf is occasionally funny. @Diacanu is occasionally funny. @matthunter is occasionally funny. @garamet is smarter than I give her credit for. @Shirogayne is compassionate. @We Are Borg has mostly good taste in sci-fi. @Ten Lubak is mostly tolerable and funny. @Spaceturkey has strange taste in music, but I admire people who embrace their music tastes regardless of what people think and I like some of it. @Amaris , John Allen. I don't know if he knows it, but I've known him since my TBBS days along with others here and I've never hated him. I just disagree with him. Though not always. Obviously he's a really good guy. Okay, I'm going to go throw up now.
You know ... There is another poster that I despise ... probably more than I did apostle. But..., honestly ..., I can't think of one nice thing to say about him. hashtag, foiledbymyownchallenge
I need to get dressed and go to the store sometime today. So, I haven't started drinking yet.... What time is it, anyway?
Can’t say there’s anyone here I really despise. Obviously I disagree with people who have strong opinions against the gays, and there are a few people I find mildly annoying. Tererun has a thick skin. Volpone is pretty handy and has a good eye for design. Apostle was genuinely kind to me when my dog died.
I did consider using a different word than "despise" because, honestly, there's only one person on this board I know personally, so can't really say I despise anyone. Just despise their online personas I guess. They each may be very decent people in person. I know text does not always convey proper ... tone.
