I GOT GAS - AND IT IS TELLING ON ME.... FUNNY BUT TRUE.

Before my surgery, I used to stop at Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW) on my way home from work.  I work many many hours (70+ a week or more) so I come home late a lot.  I got in the habit of stopping off at BWW on the way home for a few.  But I had a system - Here was my thinking -  (1) Tuesday is wing night with discount prices - 40% off means 40% off,  so I ate an extra 40% of wings for the same calories.  I am pretty sure that is the 4th law of thermo dynamics.  I could be wrong. I think it depends

HOLY SMOKES THE CRAZY GUY HAS BEEN SILENT FOR A YEAR

So I have been gone (off-site) for nearly a year. Why you ask? Darn good question. I wish I had an answer, but I don't. I enjoyed writing my silly dribble and discussing my experiences with others - even if from a bit unusual view. So, what the heck. I was on my e-mail and saw a posting from way back was getting a number of responses, so I figured, that although I think outside the box, maybe I have something to add - a different perspective. I am highly educated AND still cram science tex

Spanx - A Funny Follow-Up

Okay, so here is the deal. This whole Spanx entry started when I added a dumb joke about the guy who has to wear a girdle ever since his wife found it in his car. Sort of caught with something you should not have, so you make up an excuse - in this case "It's mine."   So I tell the dumb joke and start looking at the Spanx website (purely for research mind you). And guess what? now I am constantly getting pop-ups for Spanx on my computer. So what is the big deal? We all get pop-ups. Sure,

Spanx - A Funny (?) Observation From A Man - And A Girdle Joke

Spanx - This all started when I decided to put a dumb joke on a forum post. The question was a serious one, about when you could start wearing Spanz again after surgery. So I added a version of the age old joke, and it was well received:   A guy is undressing at the country club and his friend notices he is wering a pink girdle. He asks when his friend stated wearing a girdle. His friend replied, "Ever since my wife found it in my car."   And since I now have a good bit of extra skin aro

I Am Enjoying Your Screen Name!

Best Andy Rooney imitation…."Have you ever notice the great names that people have chosen for their screen names on this site? Well, I have …"   There are some great ones. And I noticed a number of trends that I though were a bit interesting. After taking a bit of a survey I came to two conclusions. First, I picked a boring name, and second, I should share some of the names I found. So here goes…   Common themes in the names: Being a Mom, such as: Momieof 3 Kalimomof 3 and the highest c

Let's Have A Laugh - Man's Most Evil Invention - The Bathroom Scale!

The Most Evil of all Man’s Inventions -   When we were getting larger, the scale was an evil evil device. It was originally designed by man to assist in the development of early commerce, but over time it took on a new and insidious venture. It became the device that quantified what we already knew - we were getting bigger. It was not a secret. We knew it. We knew we were not eating right and could tell we were getting bigger. But as long as those elastic waists and comfort fit pan

Another Thing Made Me Laugh Today

In keeping with my juvenile and silly sense of humor, I have to share this. I saw something today that made me laugh out loud.   What surprises me is that I had read it before and did not think for a minute it was all that funny. But when I read it today I bust out laughing. Here goes.   On one of the forums someone wanted to encourage another member to take charge of a particular aspect of her diet. She used the saying "time to put on your big girl panties."   "Big girl panties?" On

How About Some Diet Jokes... We All Have Them, Let's Share

Here are some good diet jokes - send me yours...     I don't exercise at all. If God had wanted me to touch my toes He would have put them up higher on my body!     Time to Diet: 1. You put mayonnaise on an aspirin. 2. You go to the zoo and the elephants throw you peanuts. 3. You are diagnosed with the flesh-eating virus, and the doctor gives you 22 more years to live. 4. You get a paper cut and gravy comes out     Wife to her overweight husb

Age 52 - Mental Age 12 - Proof, Read On...

There is a comedian that talks about how even as an adult he laughs everytime he squirts out the shampoo and it makes a PPHHFFLLTT sound. Well, I guess I am like that. There are two things I have seen on here that just made me think like a 12 year old...   1. In a perfectly serious and nice forum post one user posted "It is official, I am in a stall." Then she went on to describe her frustration at her weight not moving at all for like 2 weeks. Definitely a stall and a very frustrating one

We Have Been Through Some Funny Stuff - Let's Laugh A Bit

You have to admit we have been through some funny stuff. There are all kinds of indignities to being overweight. But the stuff we have gone through in our VSG journey - all in the name of beauty - are above and beyond the norm.   I will do an entire post on the rope-down-the-nose test, but that was one of the weirdest things I have ever had to do. And I am convinced that the doctor knew what he was doing when he picked a cute, incredibly personable young lady for that job. 'Cause I'll tell
