Hope everyone that I know is doing well! I've been absent for a long time now, but I do think about this board, and I've directed several folks here over the months now!

I'm doing great! Soooo many changes in my life over the months though... <

So I quickly googled it, but my brain is in a fog, and I have an appointment with my PCP this afternoon... Just wanna make sure, should I test positive for the flu, is it ok for RNYers to take?

So my second job is a Realtor...

Prior to WLS, getting the big metal sign to go into the ground was really never a huge issue. I mean, come on... 260lbs standing/jumping on a sign makes it so much easier than 143 lbs!

So, I'm a big fat chicken about giving blood to begin with... I do it mostly because I'm such a chicken (facing my fears or some stupid shit like that), and because I know it's something more of us should do - and this time I get two free tickets to th
