There's a lot of truth to these sayings. Thanks for the laugh. Melody

ROMANCE MATHEMATICS Smart man + smart woman = romance Smart man + dumb woman = affair Dumb man + smart woman = marriage Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy ______________________________ OFFICE ARITHMETIC Smart boss + smart employee = profit Smart boss + dumb employee = production Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime _____________________________ SHOPPING MATH A man will pay $20 for a $10 item he needs. A woman will pay $10 for a $20 item that she doesn't need. _____________________________ GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. _____________________________ HAPPINESS To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. ______________________________ LONGEVITY Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die. ______________________________ PROPENSITY TO CHANGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does. _____________________________ DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. _____________________________ HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals. SEND THIS TO A SMART WOMAN WHO NEEDS A LAUGH AND TO THE SMART GUYS YOU KNOW CAN HANDLE IT.

Michelle, I just wanted you to know there are more WLS choices out there then the ones you listed. I had the VSG (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) and there is also the DS (Duodenal Switch). The VSG is restrictive only and the DS is restrictive and malabsorptive. I was not comfortable with a intestinal bypass, so I had the VSG. I wanted you to know there were others available just in case you didn't know.

I live in minnesota, I am married with 4 sons. and approved for the surgery. Nice to met you.

I have many reservations about the new American Standard-it really is a new translation, and not in line with the KJ edition. It is HARD to understand the bible-a good gospel doctrine teacher is very helpful....just remember to take small bites-it isn't a race to see how many scriptures you can read, but how many you can understand. I struggle with scripture reading even though I read very well. The great thing about the Church editions is that the newer ones include the Joseph Smith translations-and they really do help to make things clear. Study guides can help, but more than that, pray. I have found that researching a subject, such as the atonement, and reading the scriptures that apply to that subject help the spirit to help me understand. Dont give up! hugs- lynn
