Friday Night Social Hour

I don't know about you, but I need a little break.  I have been trying for 3.5 freaking hours now to insert a freaking text box in a freaking Word document, then paste data into it and format it.  If I had just retyped the data into the text box instead of trying to copy and paste it, I probably would've been done with the whole thing 2 hours ago.  Someone just start hitting me on the head with a balpeen hammer, OK?

Today’s questions are:

  1. Name one thing that finally pushed you to have weight loss surgery (I realize there may be many, but try to keep your answer to one)
  2. Have you ever seen a tornado?
  3. Harry Potter: yes or no?
  4. Have you ever eaten pet food?  How did it taste?
  5. Did you ever cheat on a test?  Did you get caught?

My answers are:

  1. It was ENVY that finally did it for me.  A friend lost 80 lbs in the first 4 months after her gastric bypass, and I was so jealous!
  2. No, but one went down my street a few years ago and took off the front porch of the church across the street – way too close for comfort
  3. The books – yes.  The person – not my type.
  4. Yes.  I ate a little piece of dog biscuit when I was about 10 years old.  Blah taste. But my dogs think Milk Bones are manna from heaven (one of them also eats poop).
  5. Yes.  I tried to copy off a neighbor’s astronomy test in college – got caught and sent to sit in an empty corner of the auditorium.

Have fun,

Jean

    Have you ever seen a tornado? Yes when I was eight.
  2. Harry Potter: No
  3. Have you ever eaten pet food? No How did it taste? n/a
  4. Did you ever cheat on a test?  No, I was always too scared that I would get caught. Did you get caught? n/a

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

Jean - Next time you have a problem with word just let me know.  That's what I do all day.   I work for a print company designing business cards, note cards, fliers etc.  Most of the time I use MS publisher, but I usually can fix problems that people have with word.  Stay Kewl!

My answers are:
1.  Having to pee too often, besides not being able to walk!  Now that I had my surgery on May 13 and lost 27 lbs, I don't pee as often and can walk  quite a distance.  I don't even use Celebrex anymore.
2.  Yes.  The year I got married, 1972 in front of my parents house. It missed us.
3.  Yes, that I've seen 1 first movie.
4.  When I was young, thought I saw a Hershey kiss on the floor.  It was, but it was a dog Hershey kiss treat. LOL  Yes, I did taste it!
5.  No.  I'm just miss goodie two shoe! 

Thanks for the fun Jean
