✌ Victory! ✌

213 lbs, I can now enjoy non starchy vegetables in moderation, and small amounts of fish. Hell, I could live on that for the rest of my life :).

Completely off pain medication. I found an amazing workout buddy, and I am bursting with energy.

Yesterday I got an offer on one of my houses which i accepted. And I have two car payments left. That will save me close to two grand a month.

And lastly, a funny thing. When you act happy, look healthy, and have a fun attitude, people want to be around you. I can’t believe this is happening but there are intelligent, successful, funny women who are… chasing me :thinking:.

(This is for @monkeyoh) In the immortal words of Tom Servo: I’m experiencing a sensation altogether new to me, and frankly I love it!

(It’s a long way, to Tipperary!.. Clank!!! To the sweetest Gal I Know!.. Clank!!!)

I told her to introduce herself. The conversation went something like this:
“I can’t do that, they are all geniuses there!”
“But mom that’s patently untrue, I’m there!”

I don’t think it worked :smiley:

Well, I’m definitely not genius material. I hope she joins in when she’s comfortable.

I have a demented, dark sense of humor. The way my mum found out I was in the hospital was because she recognized the pic of my arm with the IV in it. So what does she do? What every self respecting mother always does, call every damn hospital in the area :smiley:

When I was tripping on morphine and a nurse came up to me and said my mother was on the phone, would I like to talk to her? I thought I was hallucinating.

So the long and short of it: my own mom doxxed me. I’m so proud of her, I taught her well (sniff) .

It’s all an elaborate ruse. (Actually not that elaborate, but dark. Very, very dark.)

Lol. I’m here too. I’m not a techie and I barely qualify as a geek. And certainly not a genius.

Hey, I’m here too. I’m no genius, some days I struggle to string words into a coherent post. Compared to all the computer programmers and techies on the board, I feel like the village idiot. But if I can fit in, anyone can. :relieved: Plus, I’m a bona-fide pope:

Supposedly according to some tests and standardized test scores or something. I sure don’t feel it a lot of the time.
As a poster my mom had up in her classroom said ‘Everybody is stupid, just not at the same things’.
