First, I hope you're doing better, . I'm

sending mental hugs to you!

Secondly, a while back there was a discussion about

WLS TV ads. I hadn't seen any until a few days after

the posts stopped. Well, I found the website for the

WLS... here it is: www.surgilite.com

At first I thought it was (unbelieveably) about the DS

but noooooooooo......

Thirdly, I received a call from Dr Jossart's office.

I had a consult on 11-30 but they wanted to reschedule

as he'll be doing surgery that day. I've been

rescheduled to 11-21 at 2pm!! That will actually work

out so much better for me - yippeeeeeee! I can't wait

to meet Dr J! Does anyone else have an app't around

that time?

Hey H.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with posting problems lol. Noah

turned 3 Sept. 11. I'll definately keep you posted about the

Periactin and believe me I'll be making sure I get it right if they

give it to me ... I should've forwarded that post from Jodi to my

email... I'll have to do that.

Hope you faired well on the weekend with your DH gone. Geordie will

be leaving in a couple of weeks for West Palm Beach and will be gone

for just under 2 weeks ... I was going to try to go down there with

him for a week or so but it's not going to happen... oh well, I'll

have to look at pics of the sun and palms and dream about my next

trip whenever that'll be.

Dawna - thanks. I'm waiting for my dh now. Kept the boys pretty

busy today. I'm probably more exhausted then they are.

Deb - West Palm Beach is in Florida. That's the state that always

gets hit by hurricanes. LOL - Aren't I a smart alec tonight? LOL
