    I wonder, is it the volume of holiday shopping (& shipping) causing a bit of chaos?
    Didn't I get rather upset that a FedEx shipment went from Colorado to California in two days, then took another five days to go 95 miles to the FedEx facility from which it was delivered to my home, arriving an hour ago or so? During those five days, didn't the status of the shipment simply say "in transit"? Isn't it more likely they were sitting on the package, not wanting to deliver it earlier than they had to? Either that, or they misplaced it, and did a search after I read them the riot act last night? 😏😂
    Don't I hope you'll be home, rested and full soon, if not already?

    Do you want to know the limit of my patience? Wasn't it 38 minutes? Didn't I go in and ask the woman at the courtesy desk to cancel my order so I could just buy it myself? Will you be surprised to learn she said she couldn't, but that I would have to call the 800 number? Didn't I say, "Never mind - I'll just cancel my credit card"? But wasn't I able to cancel it online after three tries?

    Didn't I finally get home about 8:30 and have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

    Oh goodness, doesn’t that sound like a particularly irksome day? 😬

    Aren't I so glad to be home?

    On a scale of 1-10, is your happiness to be home at an 11 or 12?

    Isn't it at least an 11? Wasn't the fire in my woodstove still going, so it's toasty warm in here? Wouldn't I have preferred something hot to eat for dinner, but having had only yogurt for lunch (and only coffee for breakfast) wasn't speedy food better than hot food?

    I would guess about a 15, wouldn't I? And can you do some yoga or meditation to chase away any residual frustration?

    Wouldn't I like to share with you some of the Herb Chicken Mediterranean pizza I just put in the oven, to celebrate my... ah, unbelievable absolutely positively incredible accomplishment of 300,000 steps in November? 😎😂
    Aren't you impressed by this nontangible valueless challenge badge below? 🤣

    Am I drinking coffee all alone this morning? ☕

    Didn't I take coffee with me to my haircut appointment this morning (an hour ago)? Were we drinking coffee 'together' then?

    Wasn't that the case?
    Didn't I bail once again on Pilates at 6am, but aren't I headed to the gym soon for several hours of cardio with some strength training?

    Do you know how tired I become simply reading the words "several hours of cardio?"

    @frankwbrown, aren't I impressed by your consistency? Wasn't I excited to be down another 2 lbs this morning? Do you think it could be because I ate almost nothing yesterday and walked a couple miles at an outdoor outlet mall in the afternoon?

    @cmsienk are you sure your weight dropped due to exercising at the mall, or more from the wallet being lighter after shopping at the mall?

    Doesn't that seem like the "Eat Less, Move More" diet plan captured in a MadTV skit?
    While it is that simple, still, paradoxically, it really isn't that simple, is it?
    But aren't congratulations in order, since I think that means you've recovered from your Thanksgiving gain?

    Aren't I impressed with myself and how I'm doing presently, but aren't I half expecting the other shoe to drop?

    Do you know I know that's not the healthiest way to lose weight but wasn't it a boost to my confidence? Don't I also appreciate your encouragement? Wasn't it not the greatest day, especially after all the walking with few purchases - and a wallet that weighed pretty much the same as when I started? And of course, didn't it end with that irksome curbside pickup fiasco?

    Does the new MFP community get easier once you get the hang of it?

    Doesn't it seem to me pretty much like it was, with a few improvements? Like no more worries about removel removal of the spaces that surround formatted words? But won't they eventually switch to the newer editor and we'll have to say goodbye to colored text?

    Aren’t I finding it easier? Though is that because I’m used to it or because they reverted somethings back to how they were before??

    Apart from the editor, I don't even recall now, do I, what else they reverted back to?

    Who's planning on baking a bunch of cookies to give to friends and family for Christmas?

    Didn't thinking about cookies on Yum or Yuck get me thinking about baking all of them? Wouldn't that allow me to have some of them all, without ruining my diet, since I'd be giving most of them away as gifts?

    (does that seem a wee bit self-serving to you?) 😋😂

    Wouldn't I agree with Cat? Haven't I gotten used to it and isn't part of the reason that they've reverted back to things like BBCode and single spacing?

    Doesn't that sound like fun?

    (And now that you mention it, aren't I also happy about the single spacing? And isn't that another benefit to reverting to this editor?)

    Isn't it apparent that, in reverting back to the "old" editor, we got a "newer" version of it, with some improvements? Like, in addition to the preservation of spaces between words (saving me a lot of frustration and OCD editing), you can now embed a YouTube video by simply pasting the link, rather than having to put the video ID in [ youtube ] BBCode?

    Since I don’t have any plans to, should I wait until the end of the day to respond? 😂

    What are you going to do with your friend?

    Isn't she coming into town to check up on her elderly father-in-law? Don't we usually get together to walk a lovely 5 mile park trail? Can you guess what we'll get afterwards?

    By "family" can I interpret that to mean my kids and myself? Don't my kids and I look forward to making sugar cookies and decorating them, only to scarf them all down within a couple days? Won't our cookie tray this year consist of iced sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and snickerdoodles?
