2.5 stone?! that's 35 pounds? Wow! wtg!

I know! I stopped drinking and all I got was consciousness (which is overrated IMHO)

*snort*



eta--a reaction, not a suggestion

2.5 stone? And you didn't have to go in the jungle to do it!

Well done chika :)

Please excuse me for having certain thoughts, but I bet your butt looks great in those jeans.:o

Two weeks ago, this part of Oregon had a major rain.
Rivers were "blown out"... flooding and chocolate colored.
My wife and I spent a great weekend at the coast,
and came back to PDX on Sunday.

It was a fantastic drive home, up over to coast range,
first along the Wilson River to the summit,
and then down Gales Creek to the Willamette Valley.

I was so cheerful and looking forward to getting back on-line again.
I planned to describe the brilliant green of the river and white hanging fogs,
the yellows of the vine maples on the forest floor,
the greys of the forest punctuated by the greens of the cedar and fir.

But first, I started catching up on my un-read postings,
and got into those god-awful postings in the "Merc - Wtf" thread.
I've been fairly dispirited all week.

So now it's another weekend.
I am going to use it to get over those disappointments,
and spend more time with my G-daughter, my wife, my dog,
or anyone else that can put up with me and my foul mood.

Cheer up Lamp. It's not all bad. :)

Actually my jeans are hanging off me so it looks like my butt is halfway to my knees.
A look prized by teenage boys, but not so desirable when you're fair, fat and forty.

It looks quite tidy in my size 20 trousers though ;) (US size 18)

Lamp, stay out of certain threads, put some Dwellars on Ignore if you have to.
There is good news out there.

A trip to the urgent care clinic this morning revealed an extensive kidney infection. My back is killing me, and I keep puking up anything I eat. Yet despite being exhausted, I can't sleep. All I can do is lay here and hope the antibiotics start working soon. Blech.

:( Sorry to hear that, Clod. Try to stay hydrated and feel better soon!

Get well soon. Keep up the fluids.

Sent by thought transference.

Not an expert in kidneys, but mightn't they want a little time off, or are they like livers and need to be punished?

Yikes. I'm sorry about ur kidneys, Clod! Get well soon!

Oh Clod, that sucks. Get well soon m'dear.
