If I lost say 60-80 lbs
I would be so full of attitude even my hubby probably not able to get to first base with me! Nah, just kidding. I also need to lose that much, just gonna have to do it it seems.
lost
Note - next week is 2 hours. Starting at 9.
Yes - they said the woman who parachuted was with an expedition that Penny sent.
Locke really appears to be dead.
lost - and am I!
I don't really know how I feel about the fast forward - but of course there is something wrong there because he said "call my father" and we know his father was dead before he hit the island. Why didn't Charlie hold his breath and swim up through the port hole? Whose funeral did no one want to attend?
we lost one of THE BEST!!! nm

LOST! (nm)
.
lost ours . . .
Four years ago both of them at the same time. We still have their son . . it was just heart retching. My husband and I actually cried harder than the kids . . . isn't that crazy???? We were devastated.
I did WW for about 2.5 yrs and lost 72 lbs! sm
It works but you need to stick with it. Don't get discouraged on the weeks you do not lose weight; it is also not "a diet" but a lifestyle change. Do try to find some fruit/veg that you enjoy; the fiber definitely helps you feel full and lose. Low sodium V8 is a good 1 pt or 0 pt option to get in 1-2 servings of veg daily. Eat a piece of fruit for your snack. I found that I really began enjoying fruit-veg after a while. Get active, drink water and give it a chance - WW does work well and nothing is off limits.
Gee, I think I should rejoin! Good luck.
I had lost about 30%. in my IRA. My
broker put my money into some type of annuity where I am guaranteed not to LOSE any more money for the next year. If on my anniversary date I am below my original balance, I retain that balance. If I have acutally made a little, I do get that and then am guaranteed that amount until my next anniversary date where the same scenario occurs. It is in lower-making funds, but at least I can't lose any more.
Lost coat
If it were me, I would be angry as heck at my 8 yo for not being responsible for her things. Forgot that someone might have taken it, the child was irresponisble. At 8, she should know better than to leave her things behind. Too bad, so sad, no coat, maybe she'll remember her things next time when she has no coat because she's cold. Learning life lessons are tough and 8 is really old enough to take responsibility.
Just another perspective.
lost coat
Maybe she actually left it at school or someplace other than dance, but is certain in her mind that she last had it at dance. You could be looking in the wrong place. I don't ever trust my memory on things like this because when life is really hectic (whose life with kids is not hectic?), sometimes events run together in my mind. Maybe her coat is at school in the lost and found or in the back of the van under a seat, etc. Just a thought. 
Lost Coat
You bet!! Unless shehad the money to purchase another one. She left it, so it got stolen. If it was grabbed off her back and stolen, that would be another story.
Kids can be kids, but they have to learn responsibility some time. It's the parents that don't teach it that are having issues with their kids. Mine learned early and often that their actions have repercussions, good and bad ones. And they learn from them.
For example, 15 yo daughter is a competitive dancer. When she was probably 10 or so, she goes to a competition and forgets to pack a tutu that she needs for one of her numbers. Do I got back and get it? Nope. Her responsibility and she had to expain to the others in her group that it was at home. Did she ever forget her tutu again? Nope. It usually only takes one time.
We need to be parents, not friends and teach them to live and survive in the world. It is never too young to learn. My 4 yo knows that if she walks out the door without her lunchbox for school that she doesn't have lunch. How many times did this happen? Exactly once. Kids are smarter than you think they are.
She was either drunk or lost a bet - sm
what a total freak, what woman would shave her head unless she absolutely had too (like a bad attack of lice, which I highly doubt was her problem). It will take quite a few years to grow back long again, oh well, guess that is her problem (s).
I lost 123 pounds (sm)
I am down to 112 pounds. All my skin, including my face skin, bounced back really well. I do have a little loose skin on my thighs but not so much that I can't wear shorts. My belly looks like I've been pregnant with big kids, and with my largest being 10 pounds, I earned my loose belly skin.
It might have made a difference that I did it "au naturale" without the surgery, so I am still absorbing my nutrients properly.
I know your pain..I lost my 16 y/o
xx
I am so sorry to hear you lost your
precious kitty. That's a long time to form an attachment. I feel bad for your daughter. I'm sure it was a shock for her - you're never ready for that. You are going to cry for a few days and then one day you the good memories will start and you'll realize you always have those - lots of those in 16 years.
You might make a collage of pictures for your office wall.
LOST fan here, see inside.
If they were not dead before, they probably will be now, unless they find some way of digging out. Orrr, maybe the conversation the guy had with John, where things don't stay buried if they're too close to shore, hmm. However, what was the point of this episode? It centered around 2 people that we really haven't seen before, then they seemingly get killed off in the same episode. The only thing related to the series was when Raphael (I think his name was), was hiding in the bathroom when Ben and Juliette were in the Pearl bunker watching Jack on the monitor and making some plans about him. Other than that, I totally did not get the purpose of the episode.
Funny...but I'm not lost...
I'm just coming unscrewed in the process.
My ESL would say LOOOsing it or more like lucing it!
I just need a real vacation WITH PAY!
Did you see LOST yet? (Not too spoilerish)
All I can say is - WHOA!
Didn't quite see that ending coming.
Very, very weird and interesting episode.
never miss a LOST!
We are huge Lost fans at my house! We didn't think the show shed any new light on things though. Just old stuff we already knew. They said John Locke has been trying to sabotage their chance of being rescued from the beginning, but we didn't really see anything until midway through like when he blew up Mikhail's station and then the submarine. Did we miss something else? Anyway, Locke is being so selfish now. Even if everyone else got rescued he could stay on the island by himself, so why is he trying to prevent everyone else's rescue? And we still want to know why Libby was in the institution!
Lost Addict
I'm thinking "call my father" is either a drug haze that Jack was in, OR he came back to life on the island. He did see his father standing on the beach not long after the plane crashed in season #1. At the time, I thought it was a hallucination. Maybe not? It seems that the island has the power to bring people back to life at times. The one-eyed guy came back -- or was he not really dead?
Whose funeral was it? Hmmm. Ben's? It was someone that Kate and Jack knew. Sawyer's? Someone that we haven't met on the island yet? How 'bout Jacob?
Ooooo! It's such a long time to wait, and so many possible answers to too many questions!
I lost my Tasha last May
I lost Tasha last May, she made the decision I did not she was 16 1/2 years old. But I did take her body in to be creamated and am going to spread her ashes in the park where she loved to run and chase the squirrls when I can bear to do it. But my sister has had three dogs put down, the vet come to her house and she is on acerage but they bury them in their back field. In their other homes they also buried several pets. I worked for a vet and I know how some of them dispose of the animals and I would never do that and that is why I decided to have Tasha cremated. It cost me but was worth it. I was going to bury her out at my sisters but decided to keep her here where she loved living. But you can have her put to sleep and take the body home with you and they don't ask what you are going to do, at least here in Oregon. But be sure you dig a large enough hole and down rather deep so some other animal does not come and dig it up. Even in the city, raccoons will dig it up sometimes. Sorry, about Foxie. I kept Tasha comfortable on arthritis medication but the Glucosamine helped the most from Petco and kept her quite comfortable for the last year. Ultram kept her free of most of the pain during the last 6 weeks and I really don't think that she suffered. But she decided it was the end and just went to sleep and up to that day she was walking a mile a day or so with me around the moorage. She was eating well. It is hard and I have not yet decided to get another dog yet but may soon. Take care. Patti
Somehow I lost 10 pounds.

I lost my mother sm
Two and a half years ago. She was 59. I still have my father and a wonderful step-mother but not a day goes by that I don't miss my mom. So many people helped my by telling me what a good daughter I was and that my mother passed away knowing how much I loved her. She and I talked every day and most days it was 2 or 3 times. I have a 16 and 14yr old and everytime something wonderful happens in their life I think "Oh how proud my mom would be". You are always going to get meaningless platitudes but just keep in mind that your parents did a wonderful job raising you and obviously knew how devoted you were to them. Hugs to you!
My SIL had this and lost over 150 pounds. She...
really did not have any major problems after the surgery. However, it has been almost 2 years and in the past few months she has regained 35 pounds. If someone is eating to deal with emotional problems or just life in general, having the surgery does not make the emotional problems go away. They need to find another way to deal with them before the surgery in order for the surgery to work effectively. Just my opinion from watching my SIL. The docs need to deal more with WHY the patient is eating the way they do and work on changing eating habits before they have the surgery.
so, how much weight have you lost? nm
?
You lost him years ago - help where you can when you wish
to but don't make them your project - it will drain the life from you. This is the life he evidently wants so life yours and wish him happiness. You need to let go - it is difficult I know - but you can do it.
Another poem for all of you that have lost someone!
These poems are meant to be personally yours....
I’M FREE
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God laid for me,
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Wow! You lost half of yourself
I am in awe!
I lost 72 lb doing WW, did meetings first,
then online. Then on my own. Good luck - you can do it. Remember even a 20 minute walk counts as exercise!
I'm sorry you lost a friend sm
Maybe in the midst of my anger, I'm not expressing myself very well. I'm really sorry you went through what you went through.
My whole point is not about money, even though it may seem that way. I think there should be some sort of penalty when a dog bites someone, especially an 8-year-old child.
In our case, there has been absolutely no penalty, and the dog has been out without a leash since the attack. The owners even tried to blame our daughter for the bite. They said the dog thought she had some food in her hand or that she was standing next to the dog's food which was not the case. She was standing in front of their house. The dog tried biting my daughter's ankles, and she put her hand in the way.
They're not accepting responsibility for this attack, and if the only way for them to be penalized is by suing them, I will do that. I will advise our attorney that we will be willing to settle with them because we don't want this to end up in court, and I'm sure the owners don't either. I have never sued anyone and never expected I would ever sue anyone.
While I have sympathy in your case, I don't have sympathy for the owners in our case. If we did nothing, this could happen again to someone else's child, and I don't want to see that happen.
that is so right on. My mom lost the ability to.....sm
pay her bills, write a check, etc., but under her bed were at least 3 dozen rolls of toilet paper HIDDEN from who knows and also another case of paper towels. These TP and paper towels become extremely important and nobody has explained it to me yet but.... oh well, she is still a delight, albeit a mindless one. LOL
These people just lost their son and they already
have to start answering to the press. Sure, discuss it with the police, but let this people try to catch their breath without them having to prove anything to total strangers. Look at all the speculation already, was being monitored, wasn't being monitored, (is it a law that he had to be?), John is gay, mariage is a sham. You know that if there was any foul play or not someone is saying in their ear, don't say anything. Give this family the respect they deserve. Just imagine, heaven forbid, that you lost and child and had to do it in the public eye.
Have you lost all your senses?
I see where your anger is coming from in the fact that your sister (reading from above) has apparently taken over some money your mother has and you think some belongs to you. One child is dead- do you understand - she is in a cementary. The other boy was in a jail in approximately 1986. I do not know where in the heck he was or is. They did not show up for their grandfather's funeral in 2004. Their passports?? You must know something I didn't. Why, why do you think I want to join up now with a family who has ignored me for well over 40 years? Are you ok?

I probably would've lost my head...
because I'm the jealous type. I HATE IT with a passion!
You did the right thing by getting feedback from others before you reacted emotionally and I admire you that.
It's much better to stay calm and not let DH know that deep inside you're going berserk. How do you keep the poker face that's much needed in these types of situations?
I'm glad I saw your post and the responses from others to see how they would handle such a situation. I don't like thinking/running my life with my emotions, which always gets me in so much trouble and makes the situation at hand much worse for me and the person on the receiving end of my emotional outbursts, who is usually innocent.
Thanks for posting!
i lost my grandmother too in almost say way as you are describing sm
this was several years ago. she was 82 and all of a sudden developed pneumonia, which turned into sepsis. i had typed enough reports to know what sepsis meant and her hope was slowly going downhill. she too took a major turn for the worse after about a week in the ICU and nurses talking about her going home in a few days. she was also DNR status. they did, however, give her O2 by mask although i still don't believe it was enough because she was alert and told us she couldn't breathe. they also gave her morphine, which i disagreed with given my research because i read morphine makes lungs fill more with fluid rather than clear the fluid out. when questioning the doc about this, he threw her chart on the floor and said if you disagree with me, find yourself another doctor and walked out! it was horrible! i am not positive, but i do think they gave her antibiotics. we didn't get the chance to bring her home or to hospice though. she did have an IV so maybe there are other guidelines in her DNR/DNI status and her wishes that stated she didn't want them. she remember, she will be in peace soon and be thankful for the times you had with her. although my grandmother was in very good health until her pneumonia took her away from us, i'd rather seen her go like she did than to have a long, drawn out battle with health issues and pain. prayers to you and your family during this trying time for you.
So sorry for you. I lost mine little guy last week...
because of the same thing. Had gotten some cat food for one of my picky cats, who did not eat it, but little George did, he would eat anything! Will be thinking of you and your little furkid.
Any other LOST fans? spoiler
DH and I enjoy Lost, and record it with DVR so we won't miss it. Did anybody see tonight's show? They sure misled us with the promo. Do you think both the man & woman just mostly dead? Because that man could have been bitten thousands of times, right? And he should have recovered sooner ...
Show ... LOST (spoiler)
So last week's characters are more than mostly dead by now I suppose. I really thought at least the girl might dig her way out, but I guess she was still too stiff.
This week was freaky. Wonder how Locke is going to like his new life? Do you really think Jack was unconscious that long, or was he afraid he wouldn't be trusted if he wasn't treated to the same gassing that the others got? I guess Juliet regreted leaving the handcuffs on when she got her shoulder knocked out of joint! I wonder why the smoke monster didn't go over the top of the microwave (or whatever) fence? Could Juliet have really not known about the monster? And why did it shine a light on her like it was taking her picture? Do you think Ben controls the smoke monster and was spying on Juliet?
I thought it was good, but as usual, more questions than answers.
But if she collects for 20+ years -- could lost a lot
If she lives to age 80 she would lose over $30K doing it that way and what is two more years of working anyway. Like the poster below, I am working for 8 more years collecting my full amount have IC's do more of my work and I will do what I need to make a decent living and have fun.
Collecting 22 years at 790 = 208,560
Collecting 20 years at 1000 = 240,00 plus more if she waits to 65/66.
It will take 7 years to recoup the 19K that she received for the 2 years. To each their own but you have to look at all sides.
Patti
Anybody else catch the little LOST show
that was on last night? It was the writers or producers or something discussing the show. They must read the message boards, like the ABC one and possibly the AOL one, and see all the fan theories. I only saw it because we have DVR set up, and it recorded. I'm going to watch it again with DH.
I suppose there will be a recap of it on the LOST website if you missed it.
Let me tell you what is up with not wanting to see that long lost
A lot of times people feel maybe someone will take their place. I am so thankful I had a stepmom that I truly loved and got along with. I would think most of the time just the opposite. Having said that, the spouse comes FIRST regardless of a long lost child wanting to come into a persons life that they may not be welcomed in the first place. If I had any inkling that someone did not want to see/know me, I would NEVER think another thought about them.
I lost mine at 11 weeks also
after trying to get pregnant for 17 years. I was the same way with the due date, as well as the date that I lost them (twins). It was really strange because on the due date (that I didn't even realize at the time) at work I was so emotional and just felt like crying over every little thing, then I realized what day it was. I don't really know what to tell you because what got me out of my depression was we adopted a 1 and 2 year old a little over a year later, but everyone is different.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mom unexpectedly also....
Are there are any small parks or buildings or senior centers in your area, or maybe one of the hospitals, where you can purchase a brick or stone with your mom's name on it and it is part of a walkway or something that is a memorial? We have a senior center where you can buy a brick and have your loved one's name, etc. engraved and it's made part of a pathway and very pretty. You're not crazy; everyone deals with grief in different ways and you need to do what works for you.
I understand...I lost my mom in 1999
She did have a traditional burial, but it was in a tiny family cemetery that we had to drive almost an hour out into the country to get to. The last couple of roads weren't even paved. It was so far away from "civilization" that during the graveside ceremony I heard a rooster crowing and that made me realize how quiet it was - no cars, no traffic, no radios, no noise....just peace. Since it is a very old cemetery, there were lots of mature trees and shrubs with flowers, and it was very well kept. Although I haven't been back there since my mother died (I live 500 miles from there), it gives me a peaceful feeling to think about that beautiful, tranquil place.
So I can certainly understand your desire to have such a place when you think of your mother. There are a lot of wonderful ideas here. I hope one (or more) works for you.
Sort of. Lost dad in 1983.
My dad died at the age of 61. I was 21 at the time. My mom and I have a very difficult relationship, and always have. My father was my buffer in that relationship, and not having him around has made things with my mother worse. Since 1983. That's a very long time. I miss my father, and not a day goes by that I don't think of him or remember the life lessons he taught me in just 21 years. He is with me always. The first several years after he passed were difficult, but so much time has gone by now that I realize how much a part of me he is. He is the reason that I have wonderful relationships with the men in my life -- my husband, my sons, my friends. So every day that I have is a gift that was at least partly shaped by him in the 21 years that I knew him here on earth. And that makes me VERY happy.
I've been on WW and lost 40 pounds
I have some more to go, but it's the only thing that has worked for me. It makes sense. It's about making good choices with your food and increasing your activity. I've gone off WW now and then and was able to hold my own, or if I gained weight, I could hop back on the points plan and get things gong again. I don't go to meetings, though. I do everything online. I have access to all the areas of the website, and I'm able to do it that way, but I think it's much slower thn going to actual meetings. I just don't have time in my schedule to go to meetings.
Drink water! Move! Watcch points, and you lose weight.
How is the bird who lost its buddy?
Responding to the post below about the dog made me think of the poster whose bird died. How is the little one doing? Did you get him a new friend?
So I guess if your kid every gets lost or goes missing - sm
you won't be going to the police because you don't like them, or if you are in a car accident or are robbed or mugged you won't call the police because you don't like them, or you witness a murder but you won't call the police because you don't like them. Boy, what an incredible attitude to have, police help uphold the law and order in our country, yeah, no one likes getting a ticket or seeing them in the rearview mirror, but you do go to them for help (at least most of us do, but I guess not you).
The Office, Lost, and don't laugh
but America's Next Top Model. My daughter and I are hooked. It is the best cheesy, brainless TV around.
