    A comedian. He has a famous "7 dirty words" or rather "7 words you can't say on tv" sketch. Here's a bit of it from youtube. It is quite vulgar just to warn you, but that's George Carlin. His comedy actually prompted a supreme court case about freedom of speech/offensive language.

    I'm at work so I can't see but I'll check it out when I get home. :) Thank you missy.

    Oh, goodness! Do NOT go there if you're at work! LOL

    He's a very funny man (although I don't agree with his politics or beliefs)...or should I say was a very funny man. He died not too long ago. :frown:

    George Carlin asked similar questions in the 70s.

    Beans. In the open discussion you said that. Who is George Carlin? :blushing:

    Oh-- no she didn't-- she didn't just ask that. I'm soooo old. :grumble:

    I had to transcribe a tape of his comedy routine after he died-- this one with the seven words you can't say-- it was not easy-- he makes more noises and facial expressions than anything else. !!!!

    Hey, I'm only 26, but I knew who he was! LOL I'm a bit of an "old soul" though. :wink:

    Let's blame it on the fact that she's Canadian. :tongue: :laugh:

    Okay, this challenge is not happening for me...at least not today...when I got done with my surgery it was about noon and I hadn't had anything to eat because I was afraid I'd be nauseous (which I was before, during, and after)...so I needed to eat something by the time I got done...my mom took me to the grocery store and I picked up a lovely salad from the salad bar and a piece of fried chicken...high sodium I'm imagining...and I had a few sugar free peanut clusters and two Milano cookies to cure my sweet tooth...all in all it probably wasn't THAT many calories considering that I'm feeling poopy and allowed myself to have whatever I wanted...funny that I turned to ONE piece of chicken and a salad and only a few pieces of sweets...I'm sure I'll go over my calories today, but I know it's not as bad as it would have been if I had gotten a Big Mac, fries, fish sandwich, and a milkshake like I would have a year ago...

    Going to go back and lie down now if I can get comfy...which I haven't been able to so far...but we shall see...

    Is it bad that I know George Carlin as Mr. Conductor from Shining Time Station that I used to watch as a kid?

    Hey all,

    I don't have much time, I will later though.

    Just wanted to drop a quick update that I had my thyroid tested today but I haven't gotten the results back yet, but my doctor said my thyroid did feel enlarged, so we'll see probably tomorrow. She also tested me for anemia.

    The past 3 days have been really awful. I hope its something fixable.

    later!

    :heart:

    I can't believe the number of pounds lost. Go Black Team. I went to water aerobics today, swam laps and then did a walk / run. Burnt 400 calories on the walk / run. My exercise calories are like 700 today and I am having a horrible time eating all that food. I am afraid if I don't my body will go into starvation mode and if I do I will throw it up. :grumble:

    Laura, I hope you feel better really soon. Marla, interesting your water observation. Am looking forward to hearing how your weight goes after you just drink when thirsty. Nicky, hope you are in your new apartment soon, March 31st is my baby's 5th birthday. Sarah, am so glad you are back on-line, does your baby still have his stitches.

    My baby's blood tests came back, the second set after they lost the first blood samples. Anway her seizure medicine dose is way to low which is why she is so miserable and having all those seizures. We upped it and get her blood re-tested next Thursday to see if it needs upped again. She is so happy today and slept 10 hours last night. She was down to sleeping five hours per night and they were totally interrupted. I, of course, got up every couple of hours to make sure she was breathing, I mean it has been about three years of very little sleep to 10 hours per night. :smile:

    I got on the scale this morning. I forgot, too! Back to the post-it note! You can do it, Jeannie!

    I am so proud of you! 5 pounds away from your goal!! Good job kiddo!

    Awwww...thankies! :blushing: I'm getting there. Little bits at a time. I'm most proud of the muscles I'm finding everywhere right now. My belly will always look like a deflated balloon thanks to my nearly 10# middle child, but at least my butt'll look good! LOL

    Have fun with the trainer today!
