OK readers, remember this?

I didn't know what EVOO meant either, but if all "yall" were using it, I knew I had to have it!!!!! I got on-line here and sent out a pitiful message asking what it was, and where in the world do I get it.(Come to find out, I had some)

Every time I see the EVOO in the cupboard, I think of yall and LOL.

BS - Blood Sugar

bvgs? or something like that.

What a great question, thanks for asking Mari! All this information will be very helpful to us newbies!

Jana - I didn't know there were so many! Thanks for taking the time to list them all! I'm impressed!!!

Hugs, Jules

My head is exploding! Too much information............ Too much information........

Dee, vertical gastric band surgery (?) I'm not sure, but maybe it's something like that!!!

This is pretty funny!

In the spirit of things - remember too much information is TMI!! :smile:

Ok Grandma Ro, that made me smile. You're so clever!!!

Hugs,

Thanks Jana and everyone else who responded. I tried to thank you all earlier (about 6:00) but I was kicked off and needed time to figure out what to do about it. This site has been a lifeline for me with all of you wonderful neighbors.

How did I miss this?

Wow OTM (onetallmama), seems to have this thread under control.
