Weighin’ In

I bought a new scale this week.  Because of my fluid issues, I thought I’d buy one that provides the body fat and body fluid percentages along with the weight.  Hey, I learned if cannibals wanted to roast me, I’d be all fatty goodness.  I’d be basting for days.
Anyhoo, the new scale is a consistent [...]

Strike up the violins

Dear Diary,
When Chip received his bonus, he was also given a box to bring home his personal items from his job. He’d been, (how do I say this?), laid off.
How could he get laid off?  He’s a top money-maker for his firm!  He knows I have a standard of living to keep.  How awful, and [...]

Ahem….

Just a little announcement, since I made a huge freakin’ deal over it:  I didn’t have to do any push ups last night.  I did, however, burn 660 calories.  I’m trying to challenge myself to 800 in a couple of weeks and then 1000 by the end of next month.  I’m not telling Pinboy any [...]

For your reading pleasure…

These are two, really short (less than a couple of hundred words) articles:  one is about a stupid criminal, and the other is about a stupid restaurant owner.
Prepare to chuckle and shake your head.
Then, of course, discuss.

YAY, WYATT!!!!

At some point today, our pal, Wyatt should be hitting the milestone of 400,000 hits!
It is quite an accomplishment.  Be sure to give him a hit or two sometime today and congratulate him.
I know for a fact that he truly appreciates all of the hits and comments that you provide him.
Congratulations, Wyatt!

Billy Powell, Rest in Peace

The world of rock-n-roll has lost a true survivor.  I’m not an expert on all things Skynyrd, by any means.  However, I have always liked their music and have a healthy amount of respect for those who survived that horrid plane crash and went on to rebuild their lives and careers.
Sadly, Billy Powell, the keyboardist, [...]

Fat girl rant

I was reading an article about a passenger of Virgin Atlantic who was offered the opportunity to be one of their “foodies” after his humorous, but critical letter pointed out the cruddy nature of the in-flight food’s quality.  When I read it, a thought came to me that I’ve had before, most recently this weekend:  [...]

Talkin’ to Barry…

Reporter:  Today, folks, you will get to call in and ask President Obama questions.  No topic is off limits, too.
Okay, let’s start taking callers.
Caller 1:  President Obama, why do you want to bankrupt the nation with more needless spending?  Didn’t the money we just gave out not accomplish much of anything?
Obama:  I won and we’ll [...]

Double, double toil and trouble…

Now, I realize that in different parts of the world there is a deep belief in the dark arts of witchcraft.
However….a story about a supposed car thief who, according to witnesses, used black magic to turn himself into a goat to escape.
“The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol [...]

Just thought I’d ramble a bit.

You all should be used to it by now. 
This evening, Pinboy announced that he wants to try push-ups during our next meeting:
Pinboy:  I’m going to push you a little harder next time.  (It’s fatigue week and I was feeling it.)  We’ll do weights (me, inside…YAY!) and I’m going to see If I can [...]
