Deep wave from the front

It looks really great, Rose. And you remind me of Tori Amos, especially with the red lipstick, which I love! :)

Did Tori do a double-take when she saw you cause you look alike, or what? :)

She seemed happy to see me.

Good on ya scotchyroo - music is fundamental for me, if a guy says something about music I feel strongly for (Henry Rollins, Leonard Cohen come to mind) its a deal breaker. I also know that I shouldnt date a guy any further who tips poorly or insists that I tipped too much.
Generous to servers, generous in other areas.. Winkwink - I guess.

I am at my heaviest right now, just waiting for the approval for weight loss surgery called 'lap band' - when Im skinny I look alot like her.

Right now I am plus size Toriesque! Haha.

Tori, I mean Rose,

I am getting way off topic here, but couldn't resist, sorry.

My aunt did the lap band and a guy I know did it too, he is actually one of the posterboys (in a way) for it in nyc. They both are very pleased with the results. It is the safest weight loss surgery, so far, I don't think anyone has died from it yet, like with the gastric bypass. But you don't look big enough for it, in my unprofessional opinion, you just don't look fat or obese. But, my aunt lost 50lbs since October (which is bad) because she has no self-control and she still eats junk. But the guy that I know lost about 150lbs. really fast, because he watched what he ate. He had a lot of sagging skin afterwards and then he got plastic surgery to take that off. You wouldn't recognize him at all. Sharon Osbourne also had this surgery too. If that matters.

Ok, back to hair.... your hair looks really pretty, I love the curl.

Rose, I love your ink work on your shoulder... I remember it from the "about ourselves" thread... just thought I'd add that!

Thanks for the Tori compliments, I love her music.

Tattoo: Did I mention that I just got an orange star on my big toe - the orange ink is UV reactive, it GLOWS under blacklight, I just got a chance to check it out.

Big Girl:
OT: I am just about 40 BMI which is considered morbidly obese - I am 'lucky' that I carry most of it in my stomach.

I cant imagine getting my intestines re-routed, 1/200 DIE from that operation. The lapband is reversible too.

I am not about being skinny, I just dont want to hurt all the dang time. I am doing this SO I can live longer and be more active with my kids.

20 lbs, I could manage to loose, but 80 plus? Gulp.

Thanks J, I am impatient to get through with this. Sent in the paperwork, just waiting for the call, hopefully my insurance will cover it. Its a PPO, so I have a good chance.
