Happy Thanksgiving Wall-e!!! I'll think of you on my hike tomorrow - your funny posts and great outlook on life have made me a happier person this year, thank you! Have some turkey for me!

From Jon on Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 10:06:25

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and be sure to eat lots of food, Walter!

From kungfublonde on Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 13:06:38

I hope you and your beautiful family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

From Teena on Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 23:48:32

Hope you have enjoyed your Thanksgiving!

From Camille on Sat, Nov 29, 2008 at 22:06:22

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

From walter on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 20:43:35

Im back from my Turkey break.

Lucia, I thank you the same way!

Jon, I was in your neck of the woods this weekend. I fought the crowd at Walmart at 4 am on black Friday.

Rachel, you know i did have a good T day!

Tina, Thanks kindly. Hope you are on the weight gain diet I am happily on. lol

Camille, Of course I did! Ill bet you did too! We all have gorged ourselves silly and are in need of some serious excercise!

From Teena on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 20:48:17

Walter,

So, you were on a turkey break, huh? Funny.

Weight gain diet? I can't imagine you gaining one single pound. I haven't been on a scale in months but my massive biceps have gained at least a couple of pounds each!! :) Are you going to join us on the pullups challenge?

From walter on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 21:11:42

Tina, right now, im having trouble bending over to pick things up and trying to tie my shoes is a must sit down activity.

From Teena on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 21:43:26

So I'm guessing that's a big fat "NO" on the pullup challenge. (That really stinks Walter ... how are you feeling overall?)

From walter on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 22:05:33

I really feel like I could start running soon. I still have a bit of pain in the right incision they did. I wont push it. I can raise my hands above my head now which is good.

From Teena on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 22:43:28

Man -- you have really gone through the ringer. I'm very sorry.

(Glad you can raise your hands now!)

From walter on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 22:46:06

Yeah, it just makes me stronger right? I miss running, the camaraderie, the competition. Pretty much all of it.

From Teena on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 22:50:37

How long has it been now for you?

(You will come back stronger -- especially mentally ... I bet you are back with the speed in no time at all.)

From walter on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 22:57:18

Going on my 6th week of 8! I will definitely be pudgier! JK I would have to put on about 50 pounds to make a difference on my anorexic body. I will come back sexier than ever.

From Teena on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 23:46:32

See ... look at all the positives!

From walter on Mon, Dec 01, 2008 at 01:15:21

exactly!

From montelepsy on Mon, Dec 01, 2008 at 19:56:06

Hang in there Walter!

From walter on Mon, Dec 01, 2008 at 20:02:49

Im hanging! But Im sick of hanging!

From Cheryl on Wed, Dec 03, 2008 at 00:06:28

Walter, I'm sure you'll be back with the BBK's in no time, and it will be like you were never gone!

From walter on Wed, Dec 03, 2008 at 09:30:19

Thanks Cheryl, I see the doc this morning too see the outlook of my future.

From Teena on Wed, Dec 03, 2008 at 19:19:39
