Amen Slim!!! :wink_smile:

Thankee! Americans are all about being judgmental; it's very disappointing. I'm a "live and let live" kinda gal (within reason, of course).

Off topic - they're showing this local man who stole money from investors (think a small-time Madoff). This jack ass stole $1.3M from a lady that had Alzheimer's. Unbelievable. Just weighed (6pm and clothed). Having a super tight band has me down 4 pounds! Woohoo

Right!?! OK just seeing she and Dr. Oz do the knuckle bump is too much. That was like hearing one's grandmother say "bling"!!

Leslie-Ha!!! The doctor that caught my thyroid disease was my mother's doctor that I'd gone to for a sinus infection. Pushed the sinuses, the glands, and then *boom* the thyroid. The endocrinologist couldn't figure out whether it was cancer or not so I had surgery. Been on meds ever since! Oprah's got some bosoms, huh? Dang! Why does she do that weird voice? "RESISTAAAANCE....SWEEEEEET POTATOOOOO..." Stop already!

I'm home with a major headache. It was definitely worse this morning and right now, I'm just chillin' watching Oprah about her weight. She thought she had her weight under control at 50 but then had the thyroid diagnosis. As someone having been diagnosed with thyroid disease 16 years ago, I wanna scream, "Yeah, welcome to the club, sister!" PS - I got down some cheddar cheese today - yippee!

I have tons of work friends as FB friends too and I like my boss like a brother so I wouldn't care if he were on FB. However, there is a man in my dept that's friends w/ others that I wouldn't wanna befriend!!

I've prob been the worst Smashing Pumpkin! Since the biggest weight I'd seen, I'm down 19 but only down 12 since surgery. I was such a pig over the holidays; omg. I got my second fill last Tuesday and am SO tight. 5 days later and I can barely get down mashed potatoes! Luckily, I can get down yogurt, applesauce slowly, and SF pudding. Whew.

BBK - seems like someone said that one does not get a notice when they're un-friended. Friend him so that it looks like you added him and then break the connection! If he asks about it, say that FB must've messed up!

You are so bad!!! Amen...I read an article today that said to throw out the antibac soap b/c they kill some wimpier germs but may not kill the tough ones. I think we need some germs in order to keep our immune systems strong. Mac - how well do the roombas work? I've always wondered...

Miztr - happy belated! LJM - stay your fanny in bed and behave! Lulu - I need to tackle my office as well. I did some yesterday but it's still a mess! I always have hated filing! Susan - maybe it was your son, haha Tap - I don't have pets or kiddos but I'm sure my 48 yo house has dirt I haven't thought about!

Hahaha, right?? (Is that a Wizard of Oz quote?) :tt2::mad:

Susan - I'd tell DD that she has a mess to clean up tomorrow!!!

Wow, Slim - I wish I were that devoted but I absolutely am not! Sorry, She...:tt2: it was tough to go back after a week; I'm sure going back after 2 weeks will suck!

Wow, Slim, that is scary. I definitely got my mother's cluttery ways but luckily we both get fed up and have definite purge fests. I don't wear brand new things w/o washing them first b/c my family has issues about how fabrics feel!

Tap - Why does one even need to wash one's walls? I have no concept of that!!! I'm not being facetious; I truly want to know. Does it not mess up the paint?

Felix Unger - ha!! Yes I am a nerd. I'm watching the History Channel which I never ever do. They have a series about the 7 deadly sins. The show on greed was very interesting considering the times we are living in. The greed of a few killed our economy just as it did before the Great Depression. Very interesting for my wee brain.

No ma'am!!!

Ha!!! :mad: It's potatoes for pete's sake; not hard chips or something! gah

I let my cleaning service go b/c they weren't doing the job I thought I was paying for. I need to look on Kudzu for some more. re: scissors - picky picky picky!!! :tt2: Just buy a pair for every room - I can always find scissors! Why do I keep trying potatoes when they kill my stomach? Ugh

Lulu - I love "Clean Sweep"! Those people are beyond gross though. I'm cluttery but OMG living with all the mass of crap the people on that show have would make me nutters! Slim - glad you're jumping on the "Leverage" boat. Maybe we can keep the show on! (No knowledge of it being cancelled; just saying.) One of my gf's is an organizer but lives in another state. We talked today about her coming down to help me organize and my payment would be a dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Sounds pretty cheap to me! She's gotten me motivated so today I have: - done 2 loads of laundry. I'd start #3 but #1 is still drying. Hate putting up clothes too. - organized a 2nd closet w/ my clothes. Good to see what all I have! - organized some in my office. It's been a hot mess since I moved so any and all small dents I can make help! How I wish i could snap my fingers and it would be organized. Gah. Now I need to fire up the shredder!!!

I was thinking the exact same thing this morning! In order to get prepared to continue w/ the weight loss, I organized my master closet. I didn't realize how many pairs of pants I have an in 4 different sizes! Yea! Thank goodness! Don't you wonder why in the world they needed to know how much you weighed at 4am?!? Craziness! Love it and can't wait for it to come back on! That show is SO well written and Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are excellent! Not getting on each others' nerves is great! Ha!

LJM - bless your heart. Pls keep us up-to-date as much as possible. I'll be thinking about you! Take care of yourself! **hugs**

Ha! Just pretend like the Pentagon is its own state!

It's definitely different! I've had a pain in my left shoulder today and a pain last night around my shoulder blade. I'm wondering if they are related to the major restriction?!? :tongue2:
