Are you like me? Do you have three kidneys? I know this is the whole entire reason I am fat. Trust me. This is a proven fact. I am looking for Weight Loss Buddies who know the heartache of having three kidneys. Is anyone out there?

As my former sister Peaches will attest, I have long lashes, also. I am sure that contributes to my weight. I feel that even though your kidneys are normal, your eyelashes are a freak of nature and should be considered a trait worthy of admission.
So, how's your life?????

I hope within my little heart of hearts that I will see all of you tomorrow morning. I hope I have friends to share my pain.
Much must have happened this week. Here is my update.....ran, ran, DD had her confirmation,ran, ran, DD was May Babe and got to crown statue( a big deal in Papist circles) ran, ran, ran. DS had his first communion on Saturday and it was a dud. We are going to have a party for DD's graduation because with half our family having gone to the great beyond, we need more of a crowd.
Usually I only allow SIL's in my house on a one at a time basis. Will I be making a mistake having everyone at once?
Thankfully, before the crisis, I knew June. I am following the sleep rule all week this week. I am a bit cranky and think that the fact that I NEVER sleep is a cause.
One of the women at track tonight said that she does all her "work" after the kids go to bed. Gawd, I am straining just to stay up as late as they do.
I hope tomorrow will be a day of homecoming.....ttyl
P.S. Can we agree that spell check is for sissies and now that we don't have to Preview Reply, we won't?
Lush, since this board is your idea, I'm holding you personally responsible for getting everyone over here. My life is the same. I'm fat, I'm old, and I'm mean. We're going to the drag races on saturday to watch our friend's son race. It will be hot and boring, but everyone will bring lots of good fattening food, so that makes it all worthwhile. DH is starting to get the bug to start racing again, something he did when he was young. If this is all it takes to satisfy his middle age crazy, that's fine with me.
I was so surprised to see your heading about having 3 kidneys. Unfortunately, I do not. I have only one, only born with one and it is the middle of my abdomen. Sadly, it is only one of many reasons that I am fat. But you know what, I will always have only one kidney BUT I will not always be fat.
I have spent about a decade getting ready for this challenge, never being quite ready, always waiting the THE RIGHT TIME. Well, that time is now!
I am sensitive to metal so shaving my legs has become something I like to complain about. So I bought Nad's and could no longer vent. I've never been happy with my complexion, not really bad but my pores never seem to be free of gunk. So I ordered some Proactiv and shut my mouth.
Exercise takes too much time and I'm tired. So I stole an exercise cycle from my parent's basement and can no longer complain about that. I can even watch televison when I do it!! How cool is that!?!
All I have left is to wait until Monday to find out if I have chronic colitis or celiac disease which will change my life and eating habits forever. But you know what, even with all this other crap - I remain hopeful. Why, because I'm so lucky compared to many people I know and the only limits are the ones I create myself. Because we don't get what we want or deserve, we get what we BELIEVE we will get - over and over again.
So, I'm stepping up and accepting the challenge. Why don't you join me? I could use some company.
Thanks a ton for listening! Hope to hear from you soon.
Location: I'm a resident of the world but I make my home right down the road from Sweet Briar.

May I offer some advice?
I, too, have slender calves. For the rest of you, I suggest you put away those petal pushers. Marcella and I cringed in Bergdorf's when we saw some of the women who were wearing them. We approached a few but they were not gracious and could not accept the help we were offering. Some had made improper make-up choices.....well, we try.
I have no idea where I stand in the kidney competition. However, I heard recently that having unnecessary internal organs removed is all the rage in Europe. I'm thinking of ditching my spleen. I hadn't thought about a kidney, but now that I find out I have two, Why Not!!!?
Marcella and I are off to NYC this weekend. We'll be shopping on 5th Avenue. I hear they had quite a crisis a few weeks ago. Some frumpy cows were in the stores, one of them was NOT wearing any black. The security cameras had to be retooled.
Must run,
Letty.
P.S. I understand that my size 1 has come under rebuke as the best size. I'm offended. I have not digested a meal in 14 years and would challenge anyone outside of the third world to match me rib for rib.

Letty, I saw it myself. Someone was in NYC and was not wearing black. Some Italian waiters thought that was particularly horrible. One cute, unsmiling, arian-looking waiter was so upset that he needed to go to dinner and check into a hotel to recover. Some "less generous" types begrudge him that comfort. They are so one way in Dogpatch.
How we get here. We either....set a bookmark OR we go to 3FC, then to the BB, then to Dieting with Health Problems then to Three Kidneys.
I think I insulted Sugar as she has not stopped by.
I feel like drinking coffee. Think I should? Even if I've been off it for a while and am sleeping so deeply? June says that the "sleep rule" is the most important.
What happened to that bore who used to post all those boring articles for us to read.
Lush
I suggest you send her a VISA card with a $15,000 limit on it.
I did something unusual this morning while I was getting dressed. I stretched my hand up and inserted it into the ceiling fan. Ow. Purple. Swollen.
Right now I am being watched by ds who is hiding behind my shoulder. He is such a cutie. Won't he look adorable pulling weeds out of the garden this afternoon.
Kiwi, did your dd get invited to a state ceremony for the SAT? DS's is Monday.
My nephew, that is. He will look even more adorable with weeds in his hands. I hope Sissy will take a picture. She is so thoughtless that I doubt she will. When she gets smart, I am sure that is the pic she will put next to her name.
Where is that witch Kiwi? What about Bagz. I am offended that they have not come here. I am sure that it is because they are prejudiced against thin people like Letty and in a lesser way, Peaches. They are northern types and are normally that difficult. Kiwi thinks email is easier but she is wrong. Typical of a northern girl. now that the weather isnt' so bad, she has to have something to complain about. Where is Sugar? I have apologized to her about my insensitive title of this group. She obviously is not forgiving me.
DH and I spent today in service to others. We redecorated my mother's apartment then DS10 had hockey. We went out to lunch to celebrate his victory. It was his last game of the season. How sad. He played very well this year. In fact, he is a totally different kid this year. He is no longer sickly and now wears a silver chain around his neck and makes me blow his hair dry every morning. 4th grade. I should worry.
Tomorrow DH is cooking dinner for me. How sweet, I hope they don't want to do that breakfast in bed thing. I am forced to stay in bed until they get it together. Sometimes it takes hours.
Wabby, my DH is also a car fanatic. We are now building a garage so that he can restore a car. Is it better than a girlfriend as a midlife crisis?
I must go cook dinner for all. It is 9PM and no one around here has eaten yet.

You stuck your hand in the ceiling fan? That hurts to think about it. Did you have it x-rayed? You poor darling. I take back all the less than complimentary things I said about you.
Well, not everything.
Well, I tried registering under Pea Pod and Plum and THOSE names were already taken. How rude. Where's the typing dog and Peachers, HOW is your hand???
not as special as Sugar P
