  1. "If you get tired, learn to rest, don't quit." -- source unknown

      Love that. First time I saw that one. Thank you. <3

  2. It's monumentally unhealthy to make a career of a moment that should have slipped into history after a day or so. That is to say that it's unhealthy to make a monument of a piddling incident.

      @Sai -- Thank you, thank you. You are a woman of great wisdom and depth.

      <3 I love the thoughts in your head... At least the ones you share. hehe

  3. Where do the blasted fruit flies come from? When I choose my items at the store or farmers' market, I don't see any. Even if they're there (outdoors?), wouldn't they be shooed away when I'm handling the fruits and putting them into bags? How do they get into my kitchen? A day or two after I've placed the tomatoes, sweet peppers, bananas and whatall-else on the counter or table, one or two fruit flies materialize from nowhere. I really hope someone knows how this happens and how to stop it.

      @ShelterDog64 - While I sometimes see one around the sink, it didn't occur to me that they live in the drain. I wondered why the sink. I also wonder why I never see more than one there or around the fruit. Maybe there's a law on their home planet.

    3. ShelterDog64

      ShelterDog64

      I don't know why they live in the drains, but it skeeves me out thinking about them walking around in all that drain gunk then walking around in my kitchen :-P

      @ShelterDog64 -- As long as they stay out of my brain gunk. What was the TV series last year? I didn't get the premise, but the gummint was somehow sneaking some sort of bug life into people's brains to turn them into mindless followers or replacements similar to "Invasion of the Body Snatcher?" At least, the series was something like that.

  4. There were signs of a more subtle nature on previous occasions.

      Sai

      Did you catch those subtle signs... I never do. Sometimes I need a brick to fall on my head. lol

  5. When one who arguably is the worst candidate ever for WLS comes along, does one respond gently yet clearly or does one run as fast and as far as one's little legs will take her?

      @High functioning fat man -- not exactly "help," but the usual "opinions" and, even better, something akin to "I don't understand myself, so YOU explain me to me and tell me what to do."

      @ShelterDog64 -- I wasn't quite up on just how wicked you are. I'm in love.

  6. When I was a child, all of us little girls wanted to be just like Debbie Reynolds, Audrey Hepburn and Leslie Caron. The first two are gone along with the sweetness of the wishes.

      She was a beautiful woman and an amazing talent. The loss is still inconceivable to me.

  7. I keep saying that the idiotic psych evaluation should be scrapped in favor of an IQ test. Do the idiot surgery practices ever learn? Nah. And who pays the price? Hint: Neither they nor their patients.

  9. Had a mammogram today. Why does it seem that each is more painful than the last? I have a dim memory of ny first and it wasn't at all uncomfortable. On the good side, I saw my new PCP. He's excellent at what he does and his first name is one of my all-time favorite masculine names.

      Meanwhile .... sleepless in Queensland, again .... I do need that chloroform to put me out of my misery .... Let's swap!

      PS, I'm bit over the real world myself atm. No pizzas though ..... just a sleep deprived loony feeling .....

      I was kind of thinking the chloroform would knock me out too. Could not fall asleep until after 2:30 am and then this lousy cold had me up at 6:30. Have to take father n law to the doctor this morning so i can not go back to bed.

  11. Some of my knickers are too loose to wear. Others don't hurt any more.

      I have panties with baggy butts. So weird. Or is this more along the lines of "My knickers are no longer in a twist"? ;-)

      I've always said it's not a cheat, it's a choice. I'm far too old to believe that I really can't stop myself from eating cookie. I can, I just choose not to from time to time.

  14. This is day #4 of no incoming landline service in my area. At least I can make calls and people can email and text or leave VMs on my cell. #HateYourLocal Utilities. Hating all of them has always been wise anyway. the

      Unfortunately I have employees that are new enough to have questions so even though I had this last week off, I wasn't really off. I would love to have an honest excuse to be unavailable!

  16. The ones who get bent out of shape when they ask after the fact about their bad, potentially dangerous actions and get hard facts in return are the same ones who get bent out of shape about coddling, tiptoeing responses, claiming that they're being spoken down to. Then there are the ones who get grumpy when they omit pertinent info and get responses based only on what they have included. They want to be coddled and have their minds read at the same time. Sorry, I can't read blank pages.

  18. I voted early this morning and am ready to do it again.

    1. highfunctioningfatman

      highfunctioningfatman

      I voted the day that my ballot came in the mail. What really upsets me is that I live in Oregon and every presidential election has been decided by the time that my vote would count due to the electoral college. I always feel as though my vote was worthless. I would like to see no political parties and popular vote.

    2. Sai

      Sai

      I did early voting last week. I couldn't wait to vote either.

  19. It's my own craziness that I'll live with, not the craziness of strangers. I don't encourage them to bask in it. As a fan of perspective -- easy to see for someone else, we all know -- I accept that it often goes to waste. May they revel in their battiness. It won't be the worst thing if they keep losing weight.

  20. Going to see "Hamilton" today. I have a feeling we've got a hit on our hands. No, skip that. I'm so damned excited.

      Enjoy. I saw 'In The Heights' when it was on Broadway and I'm sure you know it was also a Lin Manuel Miranda musical. I enjoyed it very much and expect to enjoy Hamilton as well when I see it three or four years from now..LOL!

       

  21. I'm going to see Neil deGrasse Tyson tonight. Astronomy is super-nova interesting, but the ticket is more about him. ovea

      I love NDT! Jealous!

    3. WLSResources/ClothingExch

      WLSResources/ClothingExch

      @Sai and @Babbs - don't be jealous. He may very well make his way out your way while promoting the new book. Last night he and his co-authors, J. Richard Gott and Michael Strauss, were so much fun. NDT, always exuberant, did his thing -- cutting off his pals when he just had to say something. If he weren't so bright and all that, it would REALLY be annoying. The others seemed to take it in good spirits. It really was a fun evening and how nice that he's a 'neighbor.' If you do have an op some time to see him in person, it's well.

      By the way, C-Span Book TV series will be showing last night's program. They had a sizeable crew on site to tape it.

    4. Sai

      Sai

      Ahhh I'll try not to be jealous hehehe. I will look for that program tonight :D. Thanks! i am so glad you had fun. ^^

  22. Why does the tiny bit of eggshell wait to hop into my mouth with the last bite of omelet, thereby ruining the whole thing? If it must lurk in the egg mixture, why won't it have the courtesy to get it over with a the start?

      @High functioning fat man, it doesn't happen often, but when it does, the piece is microscopic. I remember your little cutie from photos you posted. Does he do freelance shell-removal?

  23. Had .2 cc taken from my band today. So nice to be able to drink w/o discomfort while the band still signals me about solid food.

    1. Sai

      Sai

      It's amazing what 0.1 to 0.2 cc does to the band. :D To be honest, I miss my band. I'd go into details but there are differences that I loved about the band. I walked in with hopes to find another good surgeon who could adjust my band, and walked out with the sleeve lol. It's all good though. Just gotta work the tool to be successful. :D

  24. I had body composition analysis done today for the first time. Yipes, I've got plenty more work to do. It was a surprise, though, to be told that I'd still lose if I were to eat 500 more calories than I do. No way will I up my maximum, but had no idea about the higher number.

    1. Sai

      Sai

      Great :D. That's awesome to hear that you have that leeway (i.e. 500 cal more). Scales are so one dimensional, I really should get tests done, I think it'd be really helpful to know at least my RMR.

    2. WLSResources/ClothingExch

      WLSResources/ClothingExch

      @Sai, in my book I do not have 500 calories leeway, not that I want to use, anyway. My goal for my daily range is 950-1150. On a day when I may lose myself and overeat, it'll be good to know I haven't done damage, I suppose, but I don't want to slip into that. Staying within my range is also a way I know that I can follow through on my choices.

    3. Sai

      Sai

      I completely understand. :D.

  25. The only explanation for some of tonight's stuff would be poltergeists, but Halloween is still a week off and we're months from April Fools.
