Keep it up buddy. I'm gonna pop you one RIGHT IN THE KISSER!!!!!!

Good: You look awesome. You look great. Love your smile. Bad: You look awesome, how much weight have you lost. You look great, have you lost weight. Love your smile, you never used to smile. To summarize: Keep it short, we know we've lost weight, you don't have to point it out.

@Dub Patriots suck. Yes, that's what I took from that post.

Update: Ratzen Fratzen Fingle AAARRGGGHHH!!! Less than a week with my replacement phone, and the screen scrambles itself so I can barely use it. I have to turn off the screen and turn it back on, then make a call. When the call is over, I can't even hit "end" because the screen is jumping all over the place. The replacement for the replacement should be here tomorrow.

Okay, what has become quite amusing to me is that guys who say they live in my town of 100,000 people (we are right up against another town that is 500,000), can't say one single thing about the town. One guy I was suspicious of, I asked him, "what major intersection do you work near?" and he just repeated his first sentence of "hi, how are you". I told him BZZZZ, wrong answer, and blocked him. I also found they don't understand humor. One guy said I was very kind, and I said "hah, got you fooled already!" and he had no idea what I was saying.

Just wanted to clarify that links to blogs (or any links) are not allowed in signatures, correct?

It goes back 8 years, grab a drink first!

Several people have mentioned how much I make them laugh, and I should write a book or a blog or something. Confession time... I've had a blog, albeit a private one, for years. http://sharonslife.blogdrive.com/ I went through and removed a couple of things that were a little too explicit for public consumption. The first couple of pages will be familiar to you guys, because you've seen it here. I suggest you go all the way to the beginning (just keep hitting NEXT at the bottom of the page), and read it in the order it was written.

An update, now that I've journeyed into match dot com land. There were 2313 possible matches within 50 miles of me. I have now hidden the profiles of exactly 2000 of them. A lot of them were looking for "slender and athletic women only". Why match would think that was a good "mutual match" for me, I'll never know. Others were obviously 20 years older than they claim to be, by their pictures. Seriously, if you say you're 50 and you look 70 or 80, well, just no. Call me shallow if you will. Others were chronically unemployed or underemployed. I've dealt with that before in a relationship, and I can't do it again. Just. Can't. The scammers contact me there as well, although the stats aren't as interesting (yet) as okcupid. I've had only one "special forces" guy who can't tell me where he is. The rest were just unimaginative in their scam. I'm not disheartened. Maybe just cranky. Or constipated. COFFEE!

SH'UP YOU!

That kink site I said I used to work for? Part of my job was answering support tickets. I can't tell you how many people complained that someone ripped them off. Our stock answer included screen shots that appear at the top of every message they send or receive on the site, in big red letters, DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE FOR ANY REASON!

Well, I actually did some checking up on him. He works for a corporation that owns a number of nursing homes. He is the nutritional director. He used to work as a chef. They send him home (to Kansas City) every now and then. The stint here was supposed to be short term. But yeah, I certainly am cynical and leery.

Yeah, well. He considers Kansas City his home, and is here (California) on a temporary job, that has no end in sight and he's been here going on a year I think. The company puts him up in a hotel and gives him a rental car, so it's not like he's planning on staying.

Great. Now I want a burrito!

Or maybe it still is. So a week ago I joined eHarmony. After a week, there are still NO matches for me within 100 miles. SERIOUSLY?????? I also joined OKCupid. Oyyy. Here's the week's rundown on who has contacted me: 6 guys who claim they are in the army and are deployed overseas. One guy's picture showed him wearing his army uniform incorrectly, and when I called him on it, he said "bye then." One guy who asked me my name (my first name is in my screen name like here). I replied, "Oh c'mon, you know my name." Then when he didn't respond, I said, "I'm losing faith in you, Mr. Smith (the name on his uniform). You know my name. Or is your name really Akwa from Nigeria??" He responded "ok bye". The jury is still out on whether the other 4 are legit or not. One FBI agent, three Secret Service agents, and one British Intelligence Agent. Of course, NONE of them can really talk about themselves, but will "tell all when we meet". Yeah. Uh huh. About 25 really bad scammers. Since I used to work for a kink site that had a dating section, I can spot them a mile away. Their messages go like this: "Am John by name. Am kind, am hardworking, am loyal. Seeking for honest woman." Oh yes, another relatively-new scammer tactic... they use the word TACO in their screen name. Like this: John_taco or Jimbanx_taco. Not sure why they all suddenly think the word "taco" is appropriate. Another two dozen guys that are looking for someone local (on their profiles) but are a minimum of 1,000 miles away. Not really sure what their deal is. Two guys that are local to me, and another one 40 miles away. These three I might actually meet. I like the 40-mile guy the most, of course, since that's the one that's the most difficult logistically. For these three, I contacted them first. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the 22 year old who wanted "Mommy-son roleplay." No. Just... no.

I'm choosing to look on the bright side. I'm starting with a clean slate. The man I broke up with right before Xmas? His number is gone. Yeah I could email him if I wanted it again, but still, it's gone.

I would say about the same, but easier to get out of bed with the sleeve on the first day. Now mind you, TMI WARNING, I insisted on having sex with my husband ten days after my c-section. So that might give you a hint on how fast I recover.

@@4MRB4PHOTO Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

@@4MRB4PHOTO I knew I would!

I have an android phone. The last time I got a new phone, it synced to the cloud automatically. I have all my pics, apps, email, etc., everything except my contact list. I just don't want to spend another 90 minutes with them trying to figure it out. While they were doing it the first time, here were our topics of conversation: - Land Before Time Movies - Antz movie - A Bugs Life Movie - stuffed animals from all of the above movies - midget porn - hot dates involving a trampoline - how you can use the phrase "hot date" to explain away any injury whatsoever (limping? hot date. dislocated hip? hot date) Heyyyyyyyyy, wait a minute! Maybe THAT'S why it took them 90 minutes! Dangit!

You look great!

My cell phone stopped holding a charge, and it's not old, so I traded it in for the same model. Spent 90 minutes at the store with them syncing my old phone info to my new one. Assured me I would have all my contacts. My contact list of over 400 people is now... 8 people. Yeah, right. How in the heck do you contact people that don't hang on social media???? I guess I'm starting fresh. Oh. HEY! If anyone here wants to give me their number, I'll add you again. Can't promise I'll call, but yanno, take what you can get.

You could also make the spinach dip (recipe on the package of Knorr veggie Soup mix), then clean and remove the stems from mushrooms, then fill the mushroom caps with the dip (cold). Before WLS I did this so people could eat this without balancing a plate (and no one double-dips).

Liquids in, liquids out. If you're not eating food, there is nothing to firm up.

Perhaps you could elaborate. I didn't have a fasting phase.
