My cat Wickett is my alarm clock - he wakes me each morning by gently shoving one claw up my nostril :grumble:

Depends on what you consider to be 'up to par'. We've not been Pals for long, but you chastised yourself for eating 'high fat refried beans' even though you were under your fat goal for that day - maybe you're too hard on yourself? The main thing I have leaned on MFP is that there are no 'bad' foods, and most of the stuff…

I had lost a microwave + rack of ribs, but I gained a Chihuahua last week. Aiming for an air-conditioner, esp in this heat :bigsmile:

I'd me more concerned about whether you should you be mixing the painkillers with alcohol? oops, no worry you just answered :smile:

I agree with all the previous posters, for both scenarios a quick, quiet, painless death please

We were the only customers in the surf shop so both guys were helping us choose the best wetsuit for my son. I bent down to help him put his legs into the suit and let out an almighty trumpet. Fair play to the guys, they kept straight faces and carried on as if nothing had happened but I bet they fell about laughing when…
