"bit of a cuddle"

Our newly elected city council member let her dog 'go' in our yard and walked off. She got an e-mail explaining we saw and if it wasn't gone by Monday morning it would be picked up and presented to her at Monday evening's city council meeting. It was gone the next morning, and never had another 'issue' again.

Even without a receipt some places will let you trade for like item, if they haven't been worn and they still carry the style. I know one woman who picked up several pair of new kids jeans at a garage sale (with the <store brand> tags still on them) but the wrong size for her boys, and traded them in at the store for the…

My younger brother and I would get up in the middle of the night and try to make a sandwich the other one wouldn't eat. jelly/pickle, or peanutbutter and powdered sugar, nothing really gross as we had to eat it if the other one didn't, but seriously lots and lots of sweet in the middle of the night..

Sunshine, rain, wind, hail, more wind, sunny again,,, yep the season is changing! a Blessed Ostara to you all.

Because "This totally random thought has been bouncing around in my head and I can't think of a way to segway it into this conversation any other way,,,So" is too long.

years and years ago, my Dad was in the hospital an extended time after some major surgery. Several times he would be put on a gurney and wheeled to the hall outside where his next tests were to be. After about the 3rd time he was left waiting 10-20 minutes he got bored and pulled the sheet up over his head. They didn't…

My Dear Raevynn is my motivator. She hold me accountable, challenges and encourages me, and all around makes it possible for me to stay on track. We are a team here.

proper reply to that bit of "invasive judgmental observation" is "I have learned to go to the bathroom without urinating on myself"

And We will keep having these daily meetings until we figure out why there in so little work getting done!!

Merry Meet All, I am Alan, 52. I joined MFP shortly after my Wife (the enchanting Raevynn, introduced earlier). I decided i had to do something when I hit 300lbs again. my goal is to break the 200 mark by the end of the year. Spiritually I've latched on the the label "Pagan-Polytheist" as closest to my beliefs. I stand…

Cliche' alert; Merry Meet All, anyway, I am Alan, 52. I've latched on the the label "Pagan-Polytheist" as closest to my beliefs. I stand circle with a small group of friends on the wiccan holidays. I believe God is bigger than any one religion, and will show him/herself to you if you seek and in the form you are able to…

Said the Sweet Young Thing to the Elderly Gentleman "I'll do ANYTHING you want for $300.oo but you have to say it in 3 words". Says the Elderly Gentleman to the Sweet Young Thing," It's a Deal...'Paint. My. House.' !"

:love: and THIS:heart: is why I am madly in love with you!!

so.. you know you are done when you've " lost ALL Your Marbles"?

Also: Equal amounts of white and dark chocolate cancel each other out, like matter and anti-matter.

I say boycott all Pepsi products! and Just to be safe, all Coke products. Ya know ... we would all be healthier if we didn't drink ANY soda-pop at all. That would start a domino effect, less to the soda Giants, healthier people spend less on Medicine and that put's a damper on the whole medical-industrial complex. hmmm…

that is GREAT!!!!

IF you happen to already have a HRM you could wear it during the activity a couple of times to get an idea of the calories burned, then just add a similar activity that is close.

it's not the water it's the dryer that shrinks wool, I don't think sheep will fit in the dryer.

My opinion, I would say yes, within reason. Fasting for 3 days and then going for the All-you-can-eat buffet record is probably not a good idea. But silliness aside, reducing calories for a couple of days prior to a family dinner or public function where you don't want to "be on a diet" makes sense. My guideline would be…

there she is.. hot lady... my crush.... FOUND YOU!!!

So, have you heard of the dyslectic, agnostic, insomniac? He laid awake all night wondering if there really is a Dog.

My Dear Wife started on here about a month before I did. Watching her (and helping) keep track of what she was eating kinda woke me up to portion sizes and fat/calorie values. I joined and am making slow steady progress. I give her the credit for getting me started. Having the household involved makes it easier, I know I…

Made me look! congratulations for sure!

No! not that! Better to walk alone than force yourself to traverse that McDen of hydrogenated fats and processed foods.

get a Heart rate monitor and check it out, in the name of science of course.

I think words are interesting.. with my weight I don't want to just lose it.. as in not keep track of where it is.. I truly want to 'cut it loose' , as in gone forever, let go completely, released. perhaps subconsciously it is better to LOOSE weigh than to just LOSE it? IMHO

buried in the back yard... hmmmm first automatic response is turn it in. wait it out, then get it guilt free. I can imagine a scenario of an older person, not trusting banks burying their money in multiple places around the yard. They pass on, family sells the house. Not sure of the legal ramifications, but morally I think…

Understand that one. Where I used to work, exceptional production days,safety records, etc. were rewarded with everyone's favorite: PIZZA. yep smothered with ground up animal parts and dairy by-products..
