It certainly does and is.

@WLSResources - mine used the word "only" as well. She had asked what my final goal weight was and asked how I would feel if I only got down xxx instead of my goal. I think she specifically chose the word "only" to see what sort of reaction it would trigger in me. I was pretty impressed with her - there were definitely times where she used likely trigger words to gauge my reactions, not because she was being insensitive.

@heidikat72 I believe that's what mine was doing as well. I don't remember the exact wording she used but it didn't bother me.

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.

I had work in KY. Great history and legends in the industry. Its also huge in Ireland and Scotland I love visiting wineries too. My visits to Napa were great. In NY there is this one. http://www.tuthilltown.com/ Nice heavy rye bourbon

Gardiner is only about 2 hours up the Hudson, a nice area. Hmm... It might happen. I had no idea there's production in NYS other than the wineries. P.S. Because you mentioned jazz in Djmohr's status on wine, I mentioned a film that might be of interest to you.

Thanks for letting me know about

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.

@Djmohr -- You'll be tired today, but you're doing a mitzvah. That's a good thing.

I steal from the best: https://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/churchill.html

I have to go to your profile just to read this question. So they may be doing something like that.

Pirate, Winnie got it right from time to time.

Elode, the ending of the status was little more than "ask away." I'm an open book, except for the pages that stick together.

I'm in my room already! Still in bed, but haven't had breakfast yet ....... just coffee ...... Yes, I am baaaaaaaaaaaad!

@WLSResources/ClothingExch

But mom!

@OzRoo

Baaaaaaadddd she said sheepishly...

LOL, HFFM .... What a memory you have!!! Baaaaaaaaa , and,: but Maaaaaaaaa ! LOL

well... Ok, if one is logical, that is. How is that?

@Sai -- You're a honey, but logical-shmogical.

hehehe <3

It has the word JUDGEMENT the title, misspellings and all

I found it, but it's been deleted. Darn. I was all ready to bring my protein chips and watch.

Deleted? Rats, it was so funny and the trashiest I've seen in BP. It was locked to further posts when last I saw it. Deletion must be reeaaalllly bad, but is it of the CIA variety or simply a parental tap on the hand? We all know, don't we, that the First Amendment does not apply here?

@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?

The boy really likes to crack eggs so I wouldn't be surprised if freelance would be an option!

@High functioning fat man, Im not sure who's funnier, you or your son.

Agreed on the reaction to his reply. Whether it was surreal or lunatic, it made me want to inhale.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to roll a fatty on election night.

I may take a page from your book -- a fatty or, if necessary, a midnight training goin' anywhere...beyond U.S. borders. North.

Wish there was a love button -)

If you want to love Winnie the Pooh's philosophy of life and have no button to express it, why not reread the book? That's LOVE.

Great suggestion!

@OutsideMatchInside... down girl down!

That's the beauty of forums... you don't have to reveal a single thing about yourself.

Just be kind and understanding that someone wants to be here for whatever reason.

Smoking! Congratulations!

Thanks for the cheers, all. @Unbridled, first there was the verb, then there was the gerund - same DNA with a slight mutation. @OutsideMatchInside, nothing devious or nefarious about it. Upon signing on at BP and about to enter the stats, I was interrupted by the phone. It then occurred to me that entering the stats would serve me not. Jotting them in my trusty, little notebook is quicker than electronics. When asked, I reveal. When pertinent, I include the info in my posts. @krakow57, I stopped smoking in 2001!

"Snacking?" What's that? Never heard of it. Never ever.

It was the pumpkin tortilla chips from Trader Joe's that finally got me... :'(

Early in my lapband career I was able to measure out 1/2 ounce or a full ounce of chips as I planned meals. Then something changed and I couldn't stop, so I stopped buying them for the rest of the time that I stayed with the plan. I don't know if I'd be able to control it now, so I won't take the chance on buying chips yet.

Sorry no like button on comments, but I would have liked the potato comment

Easy for you to say, as it comes from your own locker-room joke, which, by the way, was a surprise. I think I'd never before seen you doing locker room material. (The joke is funny, but I'm far way too far sophisticated to say as much. Therefore, you didn't read it here. Dammit, it's getting funnier now that I think of it again. I may guffaw any moment. Don't be surprised. I love "Family Guy.")

I am a South Park, Monte Python, Family Guy fan. But remember, I put the locker room joke in the men's section, just saying.

That's what I've heard. Maybe someday. Sorry the link doesn't work. If you do want to take a look, just copy over. But you knew that.

I nearly lost a hand trying to cut the damn thing open. It honestly has turned me off from making one again. I've gotten used to not eating pasta with sauce anyhow.

Cutting a hard squash is a feat. It needs a super-sharp knife which can be just as nervous-making as any other.

Right after me!

This is your lucky day. I'm too tired and satisfied with the day to snap back at you. Excellent but way busy clothing exchange; a much larger turnout and far more clothes than has happened in a while. You're not so bad for runner up. Ha!

Glad you had a great day! <3

Awesome loss and Congratulations on restart!

Wishing you continuing great success!

I love you too (but you already know that too hehe) @WLSResources/ClothingExch

:-)

Happy birthday!

Thank you, darlings.

Happy Birthday! Mine's Sunday. We're almost twins.

I love NDT! Jealous!

@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.

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

Golly gee, I wonder why that is?

NO CLUE. I'm innocent.

Mark Twain, one of the writers who can/could have had me, wrote "Innocents Abroad." I shall borrow from him -- "Innocence: A Broad."

I'll hide and take cover, but I'm glad you are in a good mood. If you warn us when you're in a good mood, I'm terrified of your bad moods hehe.

I **AM** always in a good mood. That doesn't mean I have to spread it.

@Sai, I'll give you fair warning. You'll be safe....@LipstickLady, are you doing what's called splitting splinters? )I just made that up and have no idea what it means.)

@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.

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.

Passover is one of my favorite holidays - love love love the food (are your surprised!!) LOL

Oh my friend's matzoh balls are like fairy clouds. I prefer mine - I use half schmaltz and more parsley in mine.

I've never made matzo balls, but, a thousand years ago, I made gefilte fish, but not for Passover. I did it the old-fashioned way, chopping the fish by hand with my grandmother's chopping blade (now 'mezzaluna') and round-bottomed wooden bowl. Lots and lots and lots of work, but it turned out so well that I made it again about a year later. I used a recipe from an old New York Times column.

Do you want to borrow my clue-by-four? Someone needs a whack upside the head.

You are talking about two different threads. Everyone discouraged her from getting an enema. In the other thread, she was discouraged about her rate of weight-loss and people in that thread were encouraging her to realize how well she was doing.

Sharon -- Thanks. I'm working to train myself to skip past the disturbing topics. I'm not paid enough here to get a stomach ache.

PayItForward -- Don't forget the third thread about exercise. It and the one about feeling discouraged appeared together, unmissable. The advice re: exercise was fine in and of itself, but not in context with her other two topics. Her thinking is skewed and she probably needs professional help.

we become a little tribe, don't we?

I have NO IDEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR what you're speaking of.

And your nose is growing along with your string of R's.
