What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 110

Sundae · 06-02-2009, 04:43 AM

Same breakfast as yesterday.
Only a 2lb weight gain today though.

And a 1lb loss overnight - bringing me to the weight I expected to be yesterday.
Hnh. I think I will get tired of this quickly.
The good news is that seeing myself jump back up to 15 7 every morning is having a salutary effect on my exercise habits - I daren't risk it being my official weight mext Monday, so I'm making a real effort.

My dad has a cousin who often forwards him chain emails. They range from useless to inflammatory to right-wing conspiracy nattering.

For reasons I have yet to determine, Dad usually turns around and sends them to me. So it was that several years ago I got one that claimed the FCC was getting ready to ban all religious broadcasting in the US, and that we should join Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family to fight this action.

Normally I just delete & ignore these emails, but in this case I felt compelled to reply. I sent a brief note explaining that this story was bogus, and included a link to a statement on the Focus on the Family web site that said it was bogus.

This evening he sent me another copy of the same email.

I have a friend (also a dwellar) who sends me tons of forwards also. HUGE files. I would never hurt his feelings by asking him to stop. Some (most) of the files are interesting. What kills me is if I want to share the files, like good pics, in the Cellar, when I download them they are in html format. When I open the files after downloading, they look like computer gibberish, ie: lots of letters and numbers instead of the image. And huge. I could handle it if I knew how to use them some way, but once I get them I wind up just deleting. I reckon I need to take some computer courses.

my Jack Russel Terrier. She's a terrorist. She makes long distance phone calls in the night to suspicious places and has a Death to Amerika! sign on her pillow.

Actually, she's cute as all hell.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-04-2009, 01:41 AM

I hope she's calling collect, Brianna.

capnhowdy · 06-04-2009, 08:15 AM

I got a little too much sun yesterday. I feel somewhat feverish this AM. Thinking of taking a personal.

ZenGum · 06-04-2009, 08:18 AM

Bri, you have a Jack Russel Terrorist.

In a previous incarnation, he was a Hijack Russel.

Before that, he was wanted for cattle theft. You know, rustling.

I always wonder how people come up with such amusing things to say. I wish I were this entertaining. I'm not zen, and that's what is mildly irritating me today. :p

@SG- don't get hung up on a pound or two! A woman's weight fluctuates alot with hormones, water, ect. Have you measured your waist/hips/thighs? I would suggest a much better way to estimate your progress is by the change in your measurements. Weight can be very deceiving. By the way, don't remember if I said this already, but your last set of pics are very lovely.

DanaC · 06-04-2009, 03:00 PM

Also, Sundae, another thing to consider is that if you've also upped your exercise (heakthy walks etc) you'll probably build up your muscles, which weigh heavier than fat cells.

Pie · 06-04-2009, 03:09 PM

Yeah, what they said.

You are responsible for your actions, not their outcomes. If you've done the right thing, to the best of your ability, stop worrying.

ZenGum · 06-04-2009, 11:28 PM

MTP, that's just borderline schizophrenia.

I think Sundae's irritation is more about variable inconsistent reading from her scales than any actual weight gain.

Pie · 06-04-2009, 11:48 PM

Domain name registrations that almost lapsed. And my husband ignoring the emails warning him of such...

Hmm, I thought I took medicine for that...guess it must be a different me that does.

Actually, I was suggesting * I * have borderline schizophrenia - excessive punning is one of the early symptoms.

I agreed to stay late. I wish I weren't so agreeable.
