Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 Hi Janie, glad your staying on the list. By the way when was your surgery date? Great weight loss. Pendergrass Re: 5 Months Post Op PICS!!! Hubba hubba! You go, girl! Fantastic! > Hi Everyone: We recently lost our Pastor and staff due to a church split. Our interim pastor and wife are very dear, very dedicated folks. My Problem......This dear saint, since finding out that I am having this surgery, keeps bringing me different diet books on how to combine the right foods to lose weight. Last night she let it slip that she has all of the seniors praying that God will undertake and I will not have to have this surgery. I'm a little mad but not too because she doesn't understand when I tell her I have tried everything ALL MY LIFE to get slim. She tells me she can't diet because she loves her desserts. She isn't overly overweight but she doesn''t want to hear anything I have to say and believe me I don't really want to say that much to her because she will go and pray the opposite. YIKES!!!!!!!! Who is God going to listen to. I'm sure he listens to both sides to a story. (All the time all other the world).... I am still going to have the surgery but I've often wondered who wins here. The Human Spirit that decides to do it, anyway?????? Just a question. I was really dumbfolded last night after the service when she told me she was praying I wouldn't have the surgery. Take care everyone. > PS... I have asked/told her I have read every diet book (and tried them) out there and in fact I could start my own bookstore with them along with all the diet articles in magazines I have bought. As a matter of fact I went into a storage closet I have and actually pulled out half a garbage bag of diet aids I have bought over the last couple of years and tried and failed at but saved because I might try them again, in the future. I probably have at least 150 woman's magazines in the last couple of years that I have saved, hoping one day I will try them again and they will work. I once attended a marketing seminar about 5 yrs. ago and the leader said there are three D's that sell magazines. Diet, Death and . Isn't it interesting when a magazine wants to increase a sluggish market they will print the word DIET ON THE FRONT. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 My Grandfather (he of the velvet dinner skirt and the sheep, I must have told you...) had an interesting funeral. He'd bought a burial cloth in Africa - double sized - and wanted to be cremated just in half of that - he cut it up and the other half's for his gf. However, the funeral directors were unhappy about handling a corpse in only a shroud. Don't know why, as this is how it's done virtually everywhere else. Grumpy was quite adamant he didn't want a wooden coffin, though, so managed to find a cardboard one from somewhere, which was then draped with his shroud (which was beautiful), in the end. His service was in a church, but conducted by the family not the vicar. He was cremated, and scattered half in E Sussex and half in the Masai Mara - he was also adamant he had to be thrown into an elephant's footprint. His will was read by my uncle at the wake and included a clause that we are all to be kind to ginger cats as that is how he hopes to return.
