Some topics are ugly in such a warped way, that they're fun. Others are just run to ugly. There should be a law that fun must be part of the mix.

Super Chanukah and Christmas to all. Given a choice between red & green, sparkly cookies and old-fashioned, fried jelly dougnuts (so unlike chain-store offerings), I'll pounce on the latter. Yeah!! More cookies for you!

Taking the Jeopardy online test this eve. Anyone else?

The clothing exchange was a success for the participants and very much so for me, having at long last gotten to meet the woman who, after a phone conversation six years ago, made me want to partner with our host organization. Other things made is special, too. One of the best evenings of any type that I've had in a while. I'm charged and ready for the next event.

The last bite of an omelet should be its culmination. Then why is that, when a teeny shard of eggshell slips in to the mix, it waits in ambush until the last bite? What motivates it to be so unkind?

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.

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.

@High functioning fat man -- Be happy for it. Never look a gift missed-something in the mouth.

The Psychiatrist Is In - 5¢. I know why the Dubster uses so much space for his posts. There are at least five reasons, not necessarily all in play each time.

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

This evening's clothing exchange was one of the best. The highlight? A BP member came! And she brought lots and lots of great clothes! And found lots of clothes! And is terrific, too! And lives a few blocks from where I grew up! If I did that at all!

So they advertise the date and location of the sale. For a week before the sale, people come with their clothing items tagged, hung and priced. They are assigned a number that they place on their tags. They get 30 - 40% of the sale price and my friends get the remaining cut. It's a ZOO. The sellers get a pre-sale date to shop before it opens to the public. Anyone who volunteers gets a discount, too. There is a few days of after sale when sellers come collect their clothes or they are donated to a clothes bank. The big work for them is keeping track of who gets what as the clothes sell. It's definitely a lot of work, but the participants are HUGE and bring PILES and PILES of clothes.
I have never participated but the $$ flow is great for all interested. Because the seller prices their own stuff, it's up to them how much they potentially earn. It's a great concept all around.

@LipstickLady. You're fast. As you see, I deleted my reply to your first note and sent it to you via BPmail. Now I shall see if I can print out this info. Thanks so much.

This has got to stop. The third consonant is "T." There is no such thing as "dietician." Got it??!!

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

To the "I lost only" gritchers, this is your speed: “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” -- the wisdom of Winnie the Pooh. Just do what needs doing.

Took a deep breath and the step: Made an appt with my practice to determine the state of my band and what comes next. I'm open to sleeve, but need to learn more to get past my own bias against it. This is a tad premature, as I don't know yet whether my insurance covers revision.

Topic for GREATER NEW YORK...CLOTHING EXCHANGE is now complete. If you're in the vicinity, take a look.

Two days of all-day rain and I'm ready to pull on a pair of fishnets, place loads of bracelets on each wrist and play Miss Sadie Thompson on Pago Pago.

Went to an info seminar this eve, first step in learning about sleeve in case my band is FUBAR, as I think it may be. Next step, see my surgeon and find out.

What do you do when there's no "there" there?

What's this? No fun allowed? I'm out for the first half of the day and come back to find that I'm locked out of a trashy, wingding topic exchange? I demand a recount!!

What's with all the bitching about not losing 10 lbs. a day? At least three new whines are posted daily. I have come to the conclusion that the psychologists who do evaluations are asking the wrong questions and not paying attention.

@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.

That would be a sight. ^^
