  2. Sigh, daughter is done with school for the year. No more naked work days. (Yes, I have a home office)

      Thanks a whole bunch, Pirate. I'm so sorry that my eyes drifted screen-right, causing me to wonder what my own father would have done had he had a home office.

      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..

  4. 21 years ago the OKC bombing occurred. It was horrible to be here when it did, but the strength and compassion of my city is an inspiration.

      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.

      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?

      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.

      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 B) arrested for indecent exposure! I barely leave the house...I'm too kidnappable these days!!

  16. Two month stall ENDS. I knew for the last two months my body fat was going down, but the scale has not moved for two months. Finally down six pounds from my last weigh in. It's not the most important number, but dang it, I missed the validation ;-)

      Glad the stall has ended. Validation does matter when you are working so hard something.
