What a romantic idea Elode. It will be just like high school all over again.

Umm no! I have a small Volvo and he has a big Dodge Ram truck with huge Windows. That's the equivalent of being in the open. Old Mr Myers next door would have a heart attack and he's barely hanging on as it is! I'm too much of a chicken sh*t to drive off somewhere because as soon as I do you will see me on the 9 o'clock news either A) murdered by Jason or arrested for indecent exposure! I barely leave the house...I'm too kidnappable these days!!

Keep it up... this is a very interesting read!!! Nearly made my day!!!

probably not Babbs

Trimming your own nails is fun, painting them a pretty color is even more fun ! Saves on pedicures !

That one is known on the street as "TMI."

@WLSResources/ClothingExch - you are not chopped liver, but I don't want to go so far over the top that Alex has to slap me down. She did enough of that....opps, TMI

Your subtlety is impressive. Now I've got the scenario.

lol wow

And I don't live there for a reason, though I would love to. Looking at Florida, no income tax and if you get the right area, they leave you alone.

UCLA man - I just got out of my hot tub. Yep, stark naked. I'm in Oklahoma. I have been sampling some stuff I picked up in CO . And you know what? The people here leave you alone when you are not hurting them. The problem with too many people is they just want to look for a reason to complain. And it sucks that it happens in CA which is the place where no one should ever complain. You can be utterly be out of your mind and it would take years for anyone to figure it out because it is so dang nice to be there. I complimented most of the people who live there, I love the vibe of the place, I just hate the dang over reaching government, lighten up.

 

Note: I do hate the damn California refugees. I noticed this while doing projects in AZ and NV. There are many California refugees who leave because of costs and taxes. Strangely they move east and start demanding the same expensive services to be paid for by other people in a new state. Umm, how many budgets can you bankrupt? So hopefully Trump builds a wall to our south and along the CA border. -- And to those who don't know me that is hyperbole (if you don't know what that word means, please Google it, or just don't comment).

I'd live in Cali or right across the border in Mexico if my kiddos weren't in NY. Hoping to move out there once they're a little older.

I look froward to hearing about your results. I am still about 20 pounds from my ultimate goal, and like yourself, I am about 2 years out!

I will be reporting back in six weeks. I checked out the diet plan from someone who had done it previously and my only concern is actually eating as much as he wants me too. but it's exciting to have money on the line, and a group dynamic.

I have 2 friends who did his challenge and they rocked it! You will too. Good luck. Keep us posted.

Your girl is beautiful. "The Pirate and the Princess." There's one of those father-daughter stories with a mushy ending in there. Who should direct?

What a beautiful young woman!!! Congrats!!!

That is great!!! You must be a proud Dad!!! Just more to celebrate in life!!!

Depression is curable, but can be fatal if left untreated. A sad reality

This is so sad. I'm so sorry for your loss.

This is truly sad. I will pray for his family.

nice to know you got some help, wishing you a

speedy recovery

I had a herniated disc in my next this past December.. Had my sleeve done about 72 hrs ago... I would have abdominal surgery of herniated disc any day.. my nerve pinch experience was so much more painful than my surgery.. Wishing you a speedy recovery... I tried everything, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustment, traction, acupuncture and dry needling.. the only thing that helped were pain medication and time.. about 5 weeks to recover.. I feel for you..

Sorry to hear this... let us know how things go!

I agree, I would be melting at hose temps, but now.... I enjoy being a little more warm!! Hope the A/C is fixed by now!

Ahhh, the A/C is back. Got to love America and a good Heating and Air Guy who happens to be a neighbor.

Yes! I was always so miserable in the heat before surgery. I have not good AC in my car

Think that had us all worried for a bit...my first thought was Oh No...not relationship troubles...anyone else jump to that conclusion?

No relationship troubles, not even close. I was just glad to be feeling good again.

Glad you are feeling better

It was about as perfect as I could stand. Found out more great things about my girlfriend. Watched the best wedding ceremony I have ever seen. They are creating a blended family, so they asked the kids to come up and they wrote special vows to the kids, promising not to show favoritism, nor separate them from their other parent. Very moving, and needed.

Wow...great update. Happy belated birthday.

That is the best start to a forever family. thanks for sharing the update!

I will have to look up that crust recipe

http://damndelicious.net/2016/07/13/best-cauliflower-pizza-crust/ This is the recipe I found, first time followed it as written, second time I added a extra egg, and the crust turned out better (held together better, which might be because of the size eggs I have).

Thanks, I'm going to try it.

I make the world's best chicken soup (according to reports---all written by me!). If we lived closer, I would bring you some.--or maybe a diet ginger ale to drink with a straw. Feel better, Friend. Your posts are missed.

I have gotten sick once since my surgery, felt weak and exhausted, ended up in an ER, they couldn't find anything, other than my blood pressure was low, they ended up giving me 2 liters of IV fluids and I was feeling a little better. Glad to hear you're feeling better... from what I have seen in the ICU, patient's with any bariatric surgery, tend to have less reserve, so once they get sick, they get sicker faster, why I see many in the ICU.

Interesting. No one knew what virus it was, but it stank.

I am still in therapy about my personal responsibility for the closing of the local Krispy Kreme.

ROFL!

I know the feeling... I was easily drinking 2 52 ounce sodas during the day and probably 4-5 with dinner. Now I wonder why I wasn't sleeping very well... was it the soda or my weight?

 

ADD and CDO. (Why they don't put it in the proper order is beyond me. It's just wrong).

Funnybones. To me you'll always be the picture of mental health, not the poster child.

Interesting video, thanks for sharing.

Awesome and thanks for sharing! Inspirational as well as thought provoking... Helps put things into perspective

@defibvt glad you liked it

I enjoy your posts. Thanks again

Ohh it is really serious! Congrats. I hope I am that lucky, it looks promising but we will see.

OutsideMatchInside, Babbs and gowalking...Thanks. I have looked for someone who is really emotionally healthy for a long time. Who knew she would also be a serious healthy athlete too . I just feel very blessed to finally find someone who I can grow emotionally intimate with. And that keeps growing every time we see each other.

Congrat's....

 

Glad you like it.

 

Nice. Thanks @OKCPirate!

Yes...

Pirate, you set me up here to make a difficult choice. Do I tease you because you and your sweetie feel like teenagers over the T-shirt thing? Or do I exhale a sigh of relief that it's only T-shirts that you wear before sealing in a plastic bag and handing to her? I knew there was something weird about the water in Oklahoma.

It's just one of those things about her. If it is that easy and it makes her happy, I'm going to do it. After being told so many times "sorry no chemistry" no I have a women who really likes my pheromones, I will do what I can to keep her happy

Never let go! Never let go! Never let go! So happy for you and your Special Lady.

That's the story here. I'll hear the REAL bouncing story later.

Well in this case, this is what I meant by bouncing...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGp0qc5eex0

Isn't it liberating to be able to act like a 'normal' person, without ridicule??? Glad to hear your having fun and enjoying your new life OKCPirate

The power of community is overwhelming under unspeakable circumstances. We're fortunate to have the capacity to summon it spontaneously. We'd have nothing otherwise.

The age of innocence ended that day... we as a county had to face our own horrible truths! The strength and resilience of Oklahoma City, has shown other great cities how to overcome such devastating and horrific events! Stay Strong OKC... and Oklahoma City too!!!

 

You would not believe the change in OKC post bombing. Interesting book that documents most of the change from Sen. David Holt: http://www.amazon.com/Big-League-City-Oklahoma-Citys/dp/0966146093. It also shows what goes into working with the NBA and modern sports.

OK and SO sitting in a tree...

that's wonderful! yesterday on the way home David took me to walk the pier on my favorite beach even though we didn't have time, really. after the last week I had it was the perfect way for him to care for me too. You're a keeper and I hope you two are always so happy together.

with a rowing machine - is the resistance adjustable? I love to canoe, but I've never used a rowing machine.

Yes

I may well give it a try if I join a gym in the Autumn. I think I might enjoy that.

I took a motrin and iced it. Much better today. Don't know what I did, but dang it hurt.

Watch out for the motrin.... occasion use is probably okay... hope the healing is happening and your gimpy walk is less noticeable

Yes @defibvt, thankfully just one pill was enough. Ice helped too.

I wish I could but it is raining cats and dogs!

No moon here last night, just clouds and rain!

Yes it was a beautiful sight... tired of social media and main stream media spin...
