I got in trouble in the Nutrition class with that attitude. The instructor put 10 pounds of potatoes on the table so everyone could see how much weight it was...she then asked what we thought of that and I said it looked like a good start to a meal...I got applause, laughter and a dunce cap...
My immediate thought was "10 pounds of potatoes is the amount needed for a big patch of perogies..." does this mean I'd get a dunce cap too?
The colorful tabs still won't keep a color for the same site, though, but at least I can read them.
If they would just fix that, my Favorites, and be able to access Yahoo, I'd be happy.
Bookmarks works, but doesn't give me the option of putting things where I want on my list. It's strictly alphabetical.
Having to use IE for Yahoo stinks. There is no ad blocker.
I have been dieting seriously for the last three months and today I went to the Doctor for a quarterly checkup. The scale in her office indicates that I only lost seven pounds. I was sure that it would show at least a twenty pound drop. I take up much less space now than I did three months ago, my clothes fit better and my A1C showed a drop of two full points but, that @#*X@ scale is making me crazy. It is strange how a number can rule your entire life!
I went for a long time without loosing, and found that at that time I needed to change the exercise. If you are running, try adding in a bike ride a week or playing soccer twice a week, etc. It is like our bodies need some sort of jump start again! I'm not sure why it works, but it does.Take measurements and you'll see a difference. It will make you feel better when the scale numbers don't move. I've been running long distances for a while now and haven't lost a single pound (or inch for that matter). So frustrating.
It's the magic of the human body...do you know that if you get dehydrated enough, your thirst mechanism fails and you can't tell you are thirsty. So if you should be thirsty...and you don't want to drink...you are already dehydrated and dangerously close to heat stroke. Lots and lots of water...besides nurses are not happy unless you are running to the bathroom all day!

It is just me and my mom now. She is blind and has been on dialysis going 5 days a week for 4 years. I take care of her, the house work, shopping, driving, etc. It isn't easy since I have suffered from severe depression since I was 5, tried to kill my self over a dozen times so far and was diagnosed schizophrenia when I was 17. I hear 5 distinct voices 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is like having 5 radios going on medium volume each tuned to a different station. It just takes so much out of me to keep... Sane.

Robert Barnett said:Know one new I had it until last year. Shocked the hell out of my mom, but she said it explained a lot. Right now I am not on meeds as I can't be out of commission which is what I am afraid would happen. I have to be able to take care of my mom. I just deal, it isn't easy but I manage.
I made the mistake of never letting my dad know that even though we didn't get along that I loved him. I am trying very hard to make sure my mom knows. Appreciate your family while you have them.
