That's an awesome idea, I'd love to see those! Figures a nurse would solve the age old problem That's what we do... problem solve on a daily basis

Hello fellow Amos folks! Still stable @ 2 1/2 years post op. Feeling good. I wanted to announce a product that I developed during my recovery time from WLS. We had bought 3 packs of socks for my children and within a very short period of time, we couldn't find the mate. Sound familiar??? Well, I developed SNAPP*SOXX. You simply snap them together after taking them off, wash them or throw them in the floor, guess what guys, NO MORE LOST SOCKS!!! I have patened my product and now am searching for a manufacturer for distribution. Soon I hope, my SNAPP*SOXX will be in all stores everywhere so that ya'll can enjoy them. I'm very excited about the prospect of being financially independant after working 20 years, I'll be 36 in July, nursing for 15 of those years taking care of others, so now maybe I can take care of me. Wish me luck, thanks guys, Love Leigh

prayer is a very strong tool. Please don't ever stop doing that. Now as for your husband, something is definately wrong. How old are your children? I'm one of those no tolerence wives and his stuff would have been out front. you need to set guides lines and stick by them -- for your children because they see and know everything. Anyway, ask him to get help and set up couseling asap. hopefully you can go to church together also. good luck! stay strong!

Beth Ann, I don't have an answer for you. My husband is also an alcoholic. I have been pushing since the week after my surgery for him to quit. I forced him into rehab that week. He half a**ed tried. Then he went on a binger. I said stop or get out. He half a**ed tried again. He goes to AA meetings. He never makes it past 1 month sober. Tonight actually, he asked me if I would get mad if he had one. I said yes, one leads to two and then more and you don't quit. He said no this will be different. Well anyway. Two later he decides he needs to blow this joint. I lost it. Screaming and crying. I told him to get out and not come back. But he always does. I also sit and wait for a cop to show at the door and tell me he is dead. Sometimes I actually wi**** would happen so I could move on with my life. WHY don't I you ask? I love him more than anyone else on this earth. As you well know. When its good its great but they have this one problem. If it was just me I would leave in a heartbeat. I have two kids and I live in Texas. For me to leave and move on I would need to move back to Michigan and I don't have $5 thousand for that right now. Best of luck. If you would like to chat, contact me. Karin

Me and my husband of eight years went through so much the beginning of our marriage drinking was a big problem. But I managed to stick it out . He has been sober since 2000. Today of all days he decides to go and get drunk at a birthday party straight from work. No phone call or nothing I thought the worst. Why would someone you love so much do this to there family? The main reason I am really mad is he knows I lost my father to him driving drunk crashed into a tree and sled 500 feet down a hill on the way hittng more trees there was a friend and his child in the car who died also .I don't remember that much Iwas only three when he died. But i grew up without a father my mom tells me the story of the police coming to the house to tell her. I just don't want the same thing to happen to our sons and I get that visit. He has just broken my heart I don't know how to get through this. I am a christain and prayed so many times . But when a person cares so little for the life of himself and his children and me .And even other while he was driving drunk how can I stay with this man ......help me understand.... ....Beth Ann
