[Wireline]

Euro-k now?

[melinda]

can you afford that?

the doctor didn't like it....but he had to admit I'm in great shape and extremely healthy, so he didn't fuss too much. But apparently fat and estrogen work hand in hand so the more fat I lose, the more estrogen I lose.......which is not good. He's also worried about my bones b/c I have such a small bone structure and I'm getting older now. :((

I've heard of that...mainly in extreme cases, but yeah, it's true. Things like female marathon runners having hormonal problems because of their low body fat.

[melinda]

yeah, that was his biggest concern about my losing weight.
he took some blood to check out my estrogen level.

don't kill the messenger, but remember as a person...er....uh....eh...chronologically progresses, their hormonal output decreases....

Get your thyroid checked too...so many things are attributed to the thyroid putting out too much or too little...everything from weight fluctuations to low grade bipolar disorder to full blown depression...

I don't wanna be old.............:((

[Wireline]

Note: I am not doliung out medical advice...I am not a practicing nor licensed doctor, nor have I played one on TV...

Now, drop your robe and lets have a look, shall we? :mrgreen:

Start taking calcium. I'm sure, though, that you get plenty of Vitamin D from being out in the sun, so check with your doctor to see if you need Vitamin D supplements.

Strength training helps with prevention of bone loss, as well.

[Sidestreamer]

Don't worry...I've already alerted my friends in Odessa (the ones on parole or probation anyway) that Doug is coming to town...they'll take care of him...

Doug - one final word - if someone offers to show you the Wink sludge pit, run like hell...I mean RUN...seriously.
lol?

[Sidestreamer]

I hope Texas, and its people are nicer to you than you are to us. ;)


I do hope you have a pleasant trip, but Odessa? really? :)

Is Odessa really that bad?

[Wireline]

Is Odessa really that bad?


depends on your point of view and how you act while there, really...some love it, some hate it, some don't care one way or the other...


Odessa: I've met and endeared life long friends there, met and confronted life long enemies...I've watched close friends die, and others get reborn. I've watched real millionaires treat the poor with dignity and respect, and watched day to day rich folks treat others like trash...I've been shot at, involved in more bar fights in my younger days than I should have survived...

Then the next day....:dance: Like I told you before D, just treat people and their hometown with some genuine respect, and you'll get along just fine....otherwise, off to the Sludge Pit.

Good advice for ALL to follow about hometowns whether they are in the east,west,north or south of this great land. God Blesses us all. Whether they swagger or sway. lol God blesses all states,well more so he blesses the people from all states ;)

She was the only one in her major to graduate w/ honors today. Others in other majors....just not hers. She was happy about that fact.
I also didn't realize that the corps members don't wear cap and gowns.
learn something new every day.....:)

[Hadassah]

[curtis123]

Yes, ma'am.


Just got home from getting it about 20 minutes ago.

How long 'til you can sit down?

[Hadassah]

TTIWWP :mrgreen:

what does that mean?

[Hadassah]

How long 'til you can sit down?

It's on my shoulder, instead of where I was going to get it, so I can sit down now. :))

[melinda]

what does that mean?

it means he wants pictures!!!


This thread is worthless w/out pics......;)

[Hadassah]

[Wireline]

[texan_rep]

I think that's TMI there, wire...:whistle:

[Wireline]

Texas Military Institute? What? Can't I simply say that I will be checking email shortly with you perverts jumping all over this like ... like... like I don't know what? :mad::evil:

[texan_rep]

TMI = "too much information". We don't need to know how or with what size you are going to attack your e-mail. :snooty:

[Wireline]

Tex...that was stupid...even by Hannity.com standards.

however, the mere fact that I can enter my 12 character password without finger assistance should give you an idea of...certain dexterity.

[texan_rep]

You have a pointed nose? Maybe a tongue like Gene Simmons?

[Wireline]

You have a pointed nose? Maybe a tongue like Gene Simmons?

no....and yes....I can lick my own eyebrows.:shhh:

[Hadassah]

the pics are uploaded to my computer. Now how on God's green earth do I post them on here?

[texan_rep]

no....and yes....I can lick my own eyebrows.:shhh:

:sick:

[Wireline]

load them to a photobucket or similar server...making sure the pics don't violate the limitations (someone will ALWAYS whine)....link using the thing that looks like a picture in the reply toolbar...and stand back...

[Wireline]

Tex...I said my own eyebrows...not anyone else's ... that would be weird.

[texan_rep]

No, I know what you said. I'm picturing you with a Mawg's tongue. :sick:

[texan_rep]

the pics are uploaded to my computer. Now how on God's green earth do I post them on here?

mel has some albums on here...she would know how to do it...

[melinda]

I uploaded all mine to photobucket first.........
that's how I do it. :)

Aye, but I am.

Partly, anyway. :cool:

wow....that's nice. did it hurt?

[Hadassah]

wow....that's nice. did it hurt?

Thanks.

Yes, it hurt, but not too much. It's nothing compared to having a baby or a kidney stone. :mrgreen:

[melinda]

well, I have had a baby...twice.
but I've never had a kidney stone or a tattoo.

[Wireline]

well, I have had a baby...twice.
but I've never had a kidney stone or a tattoo....How about a tattoo OF a kidney stone? How bad would that be?

[Hadassah]

Ahhhhh.....narcotics are a wonderful thing. If they don't kill the pain, they make it so you just don't care. :dance:



My arthritis is killing me and guess what? I just don't care. :))

[Wireline]

You got a prescription for pain relief from a tattoo? :eek:

Wow...who is your HMO?

[Hadassah]

It's for my arthritis. :))

AH...gotcha.

[texan_rep]

I don't like needles. Period. It's bad enough just getting a shot. When I was in the hospital the other day and they put that stupid IV recepticle thingy in my wrist I was really struggling not to cry out or just fly right out of the bed (which considering what I was wearing at the time would have been entertaining). Getting poked 1000+ times is not on my list of "things I must do before I die".

And yet, I've done this twice. :think:

Because I'm not awake enough yet to go diving under the desk...:))

If I remember correctly, Texas is listed in the top twenty countries in the world. I know that Texas is not a country, but because of the strength of the military and NASA, Texas can kick some serious ass if it was a country.

I know that Texas is not a country, but because of the strength of the military and NASA, Texas can kick some serious ass if it was a country. Feels good to live in a state that could kick Iraq's ass by itself.:)):clap::))

yes, yes it does!!

so where are you in this great state, apollo?

I live in Hutto. A little north of Austin and east of Round Rock.

[RWSutt33]

I noticed you never post at Hannity on the other forums Sutt. Just mainly here and mainly this thread. lol Do you like politics?

I guess the biggest pasttime in Texas during the hot summer months is a rain watch.:))

Is that like watching grass grow? You poor Texans. I get all I can handle up here in New England. Lush and green all around. I am never wanting for moisture.

I like politcs, but not polititions. And yes when it rains in this part of the world we all stop and give thanks to God almighty that he has blessed us with a little relief. Good to see you dreamy:hug:

lol Politics would be so much better without them too.

Well,may you get all that you all need down there in the great state of Texas. I am truly blessed up here with an abundance of wetness and mositure in various forms on a regular basis. Perfect day today as a matter of fact after a long rainy spell. Sun shining,birds singing. Life is good.

Good to see you too RWSutt!:hug:

You just THINK you are ready for it. I've alerted the Ector Co Sheriff's Office, a couple of biker buddies, and some guys whose pictures are on the wall at the post office...

They know you are coming...and I told them all what you think about our State...gave them links and everything...

If you see a guy in an oilfield jumpsuit, over 6' tall, run like hell...its your only chance.

Pretty neat. I get home when a lot of people online here on this thread. Will try to post once every morning when I get home. Just wanted to remind everyone who does not live in Texas to DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!!!!! Because if you do, we can invade your state and take over anytime we wish.:)):)):))

Checking on apartments tomorrow (yes, it's true...). If I can find something affordable, I'll probably become Odessa's token liberal. Scary, eh?

Careful, they dont shoot ya on sight...

[Wireline]

So you got the gig, huh? Good for you! Congratulations - seriously

As you have already seen, Odessa/Midland is EXPLODING population, cultural, and in every other measureable capacity...it its (from my understanding) almost as much of a boomtown mentality as what went on in the 70s....

There are 2-3 other liberals there...a few guys silly enough to drive SMART cars...a greater percentage of Ron Paulites to normals than you would think, but I'd stay out of Dos Amigos a bit longer.

Most of the liberal contingents are imports, so they really don't have much sayso until one or two generations - teach your children well...

And Doug...let me invite you to the 9th Annual Intertribal Powwow, Sep 27 and 28th, Odessa College Sports Complex...as time draws closer, contact me at the studio (I'm in the yellow pages - user name is easily identifiable in phone book and Google maps) for details...

Welcome to Texas...your probationary period has already begun. :mrgreen:

More or less..Odessa is 20-25 miles from here...

Used to be some pretty bitter feelings between Odessa and Midland...came to an ugly head when University of Texas Permian Basin decided almost at the last second to move from a midway point to inside Odessa city limits...

That may be starting up again, as Midland is trying to annex land slated for a UTPB expansion project...

Its us against them, until an outsider decides to start something with either...then we join forces.

I think they have beaten OHS and Permian pretty easily last few years...The rivalry between Midland HS and Midland Lee usually does not involve gunfire.

I remember the Chili Bowl in San Antonio as a yoot....Fox Tech and Central HS>..fights, stabbings, police SWAT teams...and that was just for the bands and cheerleaders - you should have seen the fans.:eek:

oh..yeah...Hey Chuckie Poo...what happened to your restaurant thread>?

My kids go/went to Churchill, so my interest was in the Gucci Bowl rather than the Chili Bowl. Couple of years ago a fight broke out at one of the pre-game spirit events...the schools no longer call it the "Gucci Bowl" or do the pre-game stuff, although the name isn't going away anytime soon.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, Permian isn't what it used to be...but once upon a time it was damn near unbeatable...

[Wireline]

True that...even the Dallas Cowboys couldn't beat them for a while...

Gucci Bowl - funny. Hadn't heard of that one (its been a while since I was there)

It wasn't Central...it was Fox Tech vs Lanier I think///

In the 70s, not many 2A rivalries could match the Cole HS/Randolph HS fiasco every year...both schools on military bases, both schools accused of having service families with talented athletes stationed on the bases for the sole purpose of participating in sports (Shaq O'Niell is a Cole HS graduate I think...)

When the Gucci Bowl (Churchill vs. Clark), it was so billed because the two schools were the "rich" schools of the time.

Also, in the 70s, Cole, Randolph, Judson and the little town I grew up in were all in the same district. Now Judson is huge (they finally split the school a couple of years ago), and my hometown has been 4A for years...with a new school opening. But Cole and Randolph are still little-bitty...

alright dammit...I dug up an old yearbook (like I have any new ones?) and find these schools were 27AA:

- Cole
- Randolph (sucks)
- Somerset
- Southside
- Boerne (that must be you, Tex)
- Poteet

Ah, yes...High school...they called it "high" school for a reason in 1972-74, because most people were.

Scary, eh?Odessa DOES have some "Liberals" although, you wouldn't recognize them as such. It only takes one really good, 40,000 feet tall West Texas Thunderhead to turn you into a conservative real quick.... Ya see, we all know how insignificant mankind is on this planet up next to the power of nature.

And once you learn that, everything else is easy because no longer will you buy into the vanity and the self-importance of the Liberal elite!

I'd venture to say that if either team went up against Lakeland High School in Florida, the Dreadnaughts would still whoop both their asses... at least that would have been the case a few years ago. Right now I have no idea...

I can't remember the restaurant's name but it was on University and Grandview... great fajitas.
