It’s a crazy world. ... See MoreSee Less
Welcome home, such as it is now! ❣️
I'd be changing Banks!!
Ooooooo look at you!! You’re looking good!
I probably would've called the police thinking they were being robbed and he was trying to get me out of harm's way! Lol! 😂😂
So what about the older people that don't know how to do online banking! That's crazy!
What cracks me up is you go to a store and final charge is $4.99 you give them a $5.00 and they have no pennies to give you change back so we're out if our penny but Pennies do add up so thru the years of paying my rental bill and a $4.99 fee in cash why not just charge $5.00 if change is not given back?????
I hate on line banking in person is way better.
You look fabulous
😂
WOW
I wonder where he's working next week .
That’s wild!!! 😜
It would have made me make a final withdrawal
Well I live near Bentonville, Arkansas. Believe me banks here are not run like that. If that Teller was around here they would be Unemployed already. Oh and we have Online Banking here too! Imagine that!
We could be friends. Live your POV!
if you do online banking, they won’t need her!
So far my banking experience hasn’t been like that. I’d be asking for the manager. Most of the time I use the drive thru. Had a hard time getting my husband used to doing his banking that way. We do have on line and use it when necessary but prefer human interaction.
I think you should’ve told him, honey if people don’t come into a bank once in awhile, they wouldn’t need you to work here. That’s just me but I’m 78 and still believe in customer service. 😂
This is insane 🤩
Oh Lordy 😳
That’s crazy!!
You lost your face!!! Did it have. Life saver. No. I guess you had the courage to do the work. Keep up the determination. You go girl. Oh yeah. You are looking like a girl.
I would’ve said well your job isn’t to be on your phone. Your job is to help customers. I don’t understand why they’re pushing everyone to do everything online. And not just them but other businesses as well.
Wow.
He should just do home then.

Results are in! Do you agree with me? #weightlossjourney ... See MoreSee Less
You did good!
Let's just say you gained two pounds of muscle, you deserve it!
Agree. One day at a time.
Well done, you!
Good job!
Last on. First off. For all the enjoyment, you are doing great!
Congratulations 🎉 I always gain 5 when traveling ❤️
Bravo! That’s actually really great! You’ll lose the 2 lbs you gained in short order and will have memories of your beautiful trip for a lifetime.
Easy to do.
That could be just water weight from eating different foods that what you would had home. All those steps are good for your heart !!❤️
Great job girl
The exercise really helps!
Probably making muscle and that weighs more.
Gaining a wonderful experience vs 2lbs? I say well worth it.
not bad at all 👍
That's not bad. Just keep up the good work and results will happen when you least expect it.
Is this a fake page?
Dr Dr. Lori--you have done very well which I believe is with God's Help. Don't give up.✝️.

Try not to stress about it…the stress makes it really bad …..you got to taste some interesting food.
Looks so yummy! Sure looks like ur keeping on track. If I could eat lobster more often, definitely would!
Nope! I'm sure not. You also walked a lot. 🙂
Glad to have you back for a while! Your pictures were great! Thank you for taking us along!
It’s not what you eat, it’s how much you eat. I’m sure you’re in control.😊
Tomorrow’s a new day!
I’ll bet you maintained
😂❤️ 😂❤️ I donated my scales to Goodwill. 😂
Be not afraid 🎶
You walked so much. You did fine i'm sure
I am still worried about your suitcase. You must have had some of the nice things you purchased on the trip in it.
It doesn’t matter. That food looks delicious. You only live once!!! Plus, you still look great!
Cruises will do that to you
Dr. Lori, no matter what, you look great!! I'm proud of your accomplishments.
Get on! 😉
I eat what l want now I need to eat better!
Wow!!!
If it looks good and you probably only ate a little and didn't even gain anything back
Food looks good

Travel update! Not good news. ... See MoreSee Less
O shoot! Wow, so sorry...hope it appears soon!🤔🙄😒
I sure hope they find it. My sister-in-law flew into northern Canada for a fishing trip when they discovered her bag was missing. The only woman, an owner , gave her a few pieces but they were oversized for the petite gal she is.
Oh no! Please let us know that they found it.
Very to hear but 🤞
Oh no ! Good luck 🍀🍀🍀🍀
I thought my son puts an air tag on his. Is that allowed?
I hope you didn't lose your Ralph Lauren.
Good luck!!
Airlines for some reason have a habit of doing that and have been for many years. In 2007 I worked for a delivery company that would pick up lost luggage from the airport and then I would drive all over Central PA and further sometimes to deliver a lost luggage to its rightful owner. I always wondered what some people had in their luggage it was so heavy I could barely lift it. You would think that they would have a way to prevent that from happening. Maybe get employees who can read the English tag. Or at least give them a language reading device that reads it to them in their language. Sense of course there are many languages that travel.
Dr. Lori, I am so sorry to see this... I know the feeling, and it can bum-out the respite from the trip. In '89. I went with my parents to Beaupr'e, Quebec. 'Back then', I always wore black in the 80s, with lots of silver. [I am sure you know and remember the type from college, DR Lori.] Anyways. I bought a =ton= of jewelry, like rosaries, chains, rings, crosses, et cetera. ...And all in a paper bag - I had them with me like a booty of treasure! Once back in the town I went away to school at. -As I was exiting the Greyhound Bus. I was wearing the clip-on hoops. I pulled-down my luggage and got off the bus, which left for its new destination: Albany, NY. I'd forgotten the brown paper bag filled with jewelry up on top above my seat!!! 27-years-later and I am still upset about it. Best of luck, DR Lori. I hope they find your luggage--which probably has a nametag on it; plus, you were a VIP client.
Oh wow! Hoping you get it back!
Oh no!!!!! Prayers you get it back.... including ALL it's contents! 🙏🙏🙏
Hopefully you will get it back. Someone may have ot by mistake 🤞
Yep - I, too, had an experience of lost luggage. It’s not fun. But it was found about a week later and sent to my house. This was in the mid-1980’s. Hoping you get yours back SOON!! 🤞🤞🤞
Oh no☹️
I got a garment bag back late, damaged, worth over $250.00, and got NOTHING for it!
We put an air tag in our suitcase so we can track it
It’s on its way to you. Take care
Some folks we know here in Texas just returned from Europe, Spain, France, Italy. Apparently their luggage never left Houston! 🤨.
Time to come home... Hope they find the bag for sure!
Oh I know that feeling. So sorry that happened and hope you can get it back!
I highly recommend AirTags. I hope they find your bag!
Hope they get back to you! Put a tracker in your luggage!
Ohh no and you did all that shopping! I hope they find it. 🙏
Oh, no!!
