I don't wear my wedding band or my engagement ring. I took them off six years ago because...SM
My DH and I were having marital difficulties and he never and I mean NEVER wore his wedding from day one of marriage. He works on cars and stuff and claimed it got in his way, WHATEVER! Back then he was going out his buddies every once and while and still didn't put his ring on.
So we had a huge fight and I took my rings off and said until you put yours on, I'm not wearing mine. Well, we got marriage counseling and saved our marriage and now everything is fab, but he still doesn't wear his ring because in all the years he didn't wear it, he lost it! I wanted to buy him a new one, but cheapo that he is, he doesn't want us to spend the money. So I haven't put mine rings back on and I won't. It drives him nuts. He makes comments every now and then about men flirting with me cause I'm not wearing my rings. I just shrug and say "it's just a ring, you know I love only you," which is the line he used to give me.
I'm going to break him down one of these days and we'll go ring shopping! We have a great marriage now, but there's just this one little battle. He knows I'll win eventually. We're both just really stubborn.
Long story short, men act like things like wearing our wedding rings and engagement rings aren't a big deal to them, but really it is.
Any out there with Lap-Band or
gastric bypass done? Would love to hear your experiences and comments. Thinking about it for me.
I am considering a lap band
Minimally invasive, easily reversible. Ironically, the surgeon at our local hospital who probably does 15-20 gastric bypass procedures a week has a lap band himself - not bypass surgery. What does that tell you?
I worked at that hospital for five years and transcribed many, MANY diagnostic imaging reports on patients who had problems with gastric bypass surgery, some of them several years after they had it done. It is tempting, but I am not ready to spend the rest of my life eating one or two ounces at a time and worrying about malnutrition because of impaired vitamin absorption.
I am having my yearly physical next month and I will talk to my doc them about a lap band. Personally, I would not consider anything else. Too dangerous.
Never take them off - band and diamonds. nm

how about liquid band-aid?

Municipal band
The next town over from where I live has free municipal band concerts every Thursday night in the summer. They do classical, popular and movie/show music. They've been doing this for 77 years. There is a bandshell in the park downtown, parking is free and you can bring a picnic supper. The town festivals always have free musical entertainment. Sometimes the downtown merchants sponsor an evening of free music.
Try going up or down in band size.
For example, try a 34 DD or a 38 C. When you go up or down in band size, it changes the size of the cups. I ended up having to do that and you'd be surprised how different the cup sizes are when you adjust the band size.
FYI - Rock Band
We were going to trade in 1 guitar for the rock band set and were told the Rock Band still has a lot of kinks to work out and the sales person advised us to wait until after this Christmas as it will probably be the big thing for Christmas and the problems will be worked out.
I would love to get the 80's one too! I didn't know they had that! My husband was a DJ in highschool and I bet he would love that. Ok, that's now on his xmas list. lol Thanks!
Another band geek here
Also a flute player; principal flute in concert band my senior year, only flute in jazz band. Too much of a goody two shoes for drugs or alcohol or stretching exercises, even... did take part in a Vietnam war protest or two, and walked several miles to school on the first Earth Day, which accomplished exactly nothing because the diesel exhaust-belching school buses ran anyway, regardless of whether I rode them or not.
And I may join up with some friends for the "Teed Off Party" on the 4th of July....
Don't you think he sounds like the other boy band guys? sm
To me he sounds like the guys already on the radio so there's nothing that has come from his mouth that I'd want to buy.
Plus he dresses funny - wouldn't want a CD cover with a goofy outfit on it staring at me ! My husband thinks he's gay because sometimes he wears gay type clothes... especially that whatever it was last night.
nope, not going to swallow Band-Aid for my...NM
White. Big Band or Disco

A good friend of mine had a lap band
However there are a lot of hoops to jump through testing wise before you can have those procedures done including a psychiatrist. Also if you do not follow the directions you can become sick, which means you cannot over eat and must exercise. She is doing fine with it, but did it mainly because her back bothered her so much. Come to find out her back is still an issue and she needs surgery to correct that. So, if it is a last resort, I'd say it is worth a try, but I would not do it with all of the complications and risk of infections unless it is a serious must.
Marching on the field at band camp ...sm
it was my freshman year of high school. One of the adult volunteers heard it on the radio, ran to the band director crying and insisted that he stop the practice because of the news.
Problem wearing wedding band..sm
I was recently dx with RA, and have been having some issues wearing my wedding band. Two main problems - my fingers get puffy and wearing the band makes my hand itch (even though they are solid gold). I was thinking about getting a tattoo'd ring on my ring finger, but I was wondering if you all could come up with some ideas that are creative but perhaps not as painful...I don't mind the permanancy, as I am married with the intention of staying that way for life.
Thanks in advance, y'all.

I had a somewhat similar experience with my wedding band...sm
Quite suddenly my finger would itch underneath my ring. It would become red and almost blister like. I would have to take my ring off for a few days for it to go away. I took the ring, which is not a plain band - has two rows of diamonds so the underside is not smooth, to the jeweler and had it cleaned. It hasn't happened again since. It wasn't dirty to the naked eye, but there was apparently something in there. Perhaps your diagnosis and your reaction is a coincidence. It's worth a try.
spent NYE playing Rock Band for PS2
a lot of fun though discovered I'm never going to be a drummer (or a singer) :) So I guess I won't quit my day job.
Strike up the band, blow up the balloons!
Ready to celebrate. I wrote here some time ago about a problem with a CPA cousin. My father died and he put in writing and also told the people where he worked any money coming from there should come to me. When I got the money it had to be made out to estate of .......My cousin who supposedly was taking care of my father's last bill, etc. told me I could not cash the checks (duh) and to send to him for putting in estate money. I asked him to pay off father's last owed bill out of the money (he never did this 3 years ago now) and did not probate my father's will (said not enough there left after most all spent). I wrote a letter to cousin finally last year and said I wanted this back, next of kin, basically belonged to me. Ignored, another letter, ignored and finally asked on here who to contact for the head of CPAs and a person told me. Thanks to you, contacted the officials and after giving my cousin a deadline and telling him I had contacted the people over him, he finally sent me a check on the very last day of the deadline I gave him!! Now I wonder with him doing family like this, who else has he jipped?
I wear only my wedding band and engagement ring...sm
No other jewelry is on my fingers or wrists when I type.
I love an alternative rock band called
Minus the Bear and so does my 15 yo son.
Dinner Out
Usually once or twice a week with friends and/or the children.
What's for dinner??
Dinner
London broil on the grill with fried potatoes and onions and corn on the cob.
Dinner
I'm cooking up a pot of vegetable stew with Italian sausage. We top it with pesto and parm. I'm making cheddar buns to go along.
Dinner
Grilled cheese and turkey sandwich with a ceasar salad.
Probably just dinner
Either by ourselves or with our best friends, maybe rent a movie.
First dinner
I don't remember the first dinner I prepared for my then boyfriend, now husband...but I do remember the first dinner he ate at my house. It was butter beans, meatloaf, and fried potatos and cornbread! I was mortified when my mom asked him to stay then proceeded to give him the menu for the night. Well, to my disbelief, he absolutely loved butter beans...this was his favorite meal. I about died, being a 16 YO girl, but he loved it!
dinner
I'm making up a big pot of BBQ. You can usually get a pork loin on sale anywhere. I throw it in the slow cooker, cover it with water, and cook it for 24 hours. After that, I dump the water, pick out the fat, and shred the pork. I like to use sweet baby ray's original BBQ sauce.
This is inexpensive if you buy the pork loin on sale. I'm making some for a party tomorrow.
Usually 3-4 pounds of pork feeds 3 of us for about 3 days, unless one of us is really hungry. lol
Dinner
I will either have leftover vegetarian chili with cornbread, or leftover penne with cheese. I always cook enough to have leftovers because I hate cooking, especially everyday. The kids (13 and 20 year old girls) will probably have fast food. My 13 year old is a vegetarian like me so she will probably get cheese pizza or a veggie patty sandwich at Subway. My oldest with probably have McDonald's.
What's for dinner? Looking for inspiration.
:x
What is or was for dinner? I'm hungry & want to fix something
Easter Dinner
Just read the post below about Easter dinner. I have a question I am almost embarrassed to ask - does anyone know an easy way to get the rind off the ham?
Need help with Easter dinner.
I am doing Easter at my house for the first time, as I am the only one with kids in my family. I am looking for something to do that is sort of traditional, but fun. My family does not like lamb, but all else if fair game. I would love any ideas to help me plan for my first real holiday feast!!! Thanks and hope you all have a great holiday!
What's for dinner tonight?
Sunday dinner
Well, yeah....The boys (23 and 25) come over on Sunday afternoon before they go work to check up on us old folks and eat up our food. They'll come in and help with prep first. We get a lotta laughs in the kitchen.
They've been cooking since about the age of 5 and 7...I didn't have girls and they wanted to be part of the process... sous chefs (cut this, peel that, okay this is how you sautee) ....worked for me and they'll never starve wating for someone else to cook. Cat
Should I serve something before dinner?
Ok group, it is now getting to be that time again when I have to start thinking of the big dinner spread I am planning to have. I will have ham and turkey with all the trimmings but my question is this - should I have appetizers when the guests arrive, some kind of drinks, wine/champagne or just what? I can put on a good dinner when it comes to the food and all but just wondering what to do prior to the dinner. Thanks so much!
Looking for dinner ideas
We're having dinner guests on October 14, our friends, their 18-year-old son and his friend (who I've been told has a very hearty appetite). It may be too cold to cook out on the grill by then. I'm definitely not a gourmet cook, and I cringe at the thought of having dinner guests because I always wonder what would be good to make. Lasagna is one of my favorites, but my 13-year-old daughter doesn't like it. Would anyone care to share any ideas and/or recipes with me? I know one of guests does not like onions.
dinner ideas
I don't know. I was kinda' thinking of broiling (or grilling if the weather permits) country style pork ribs.
Big dinner here this year but do I need
to thing about serving appetizers before dinner? It is like a show up and dinner is ready to be served so really no waiting around. Any suggestions about easy recipes?
breakfasts for dinner!
mmmm yes love those :)
I didn't take into consideration people's home lives.
I dont have kids... just two dogs! So that is why I just have a boring routine! :)
and my boyfriend doesn't eat breakfast. Man, i dont know how people do that!! :)
Sorry I have no ideas for breakfasts, im very picky as well as boring! LOL
I think I would wait until the dinner
before getting so upset. I understand there is obvious issues with your SIL and if it does pan out the way you have it in your mind right now, then you can be upset but I think it's a little premature to get that upset about it.
By the way, I'd call your daughter anyway!
Been a while - What's for dinner tonight??
Looking for ideas! :)
New dinner recipes
Hey all........I am sitting here (before lunch) thinking what the heck I'm going to make for dinner....I am sooooo tired of making the same things, week after week.....anyone have any new, easy dinner recipes?? Maybe your same-old will be new to me!
dinner ideas
Google pasta faglioli - easy and delicious, also chicken divan. I just love the one pot meals!
We don't have a holiday dinner without
mac and cheese. This is mostly due to my niece. The only thing she will eat at these major meals is kraft mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and rolls. She is 14 years old, but SIL and BIL have no problem with it. I am lucky, my kids don't like everything, but are good eaters and most of the time are willing to try new things.
What is everyone having for christmas dinner? nm
?
What time is dinner again???
I'll bring a bottle of vino!!!
Just kidding, but that menu sounds absolutely FABULOUS. We have an Italian deli right down the street and treat ourselves once a week to lunch. In my opinion, very little can top an authentic Italian deli.
Enjoy that meal for us, too, lol!!!
Have a wonderful dinner...nm

What to make for dinner?
I went to the grocery store yesterday and bought a lot of stuff on sale. I'm tired of the same old same old. Here's what's in my fridge:
Ground beef, a small roast, ham butt, split turkey breast, skinless/boneless chicken breasts. Any ideas?
I had planned to make the turkey breast some day this week with the traditional mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc. I'm also planning to use the ham to make a traditional dinner with the leftovers being made into ham and bean soup. I have no idea what to do with the ground beef and chicken. I'm so tired of the same old thing -- baked chicken or meatloaf. We had hamburgers yesterday b/c it was so nice outside.
Any new ways to make chicken or ground beef?
Easter dinner

Speaking of the dinner...
My son and his best friend, along with their dates went to a quite expensive restaurant before their senior prom in downtown Atlanta. Between the 2 boys, they probably had just enough for dinner, no dessert.
After their meal, the waiter brought out 2 big plates of dessert. Well, the boys kinda panicked...not knowing if the girls had ordered the desserts behind their backs or not, and knowing that they couldn't afford to pay for them.
Long story short, the waiter told the kids that someone in the restaurant had sent over the dessert and picked up their check! My son was so excited, he called me from the restaurant...thinking his dad and I had done this wonderfully generous act. It was tempting to take the credit, but we didn't.
They have no idea who it was but it made their night! I know, not related, but just a nice prom story!
