my goodness, out of the blue I had gained 5 pounds in 2 days. I was down about this and guess what, stepped back on this morning and it is gone. That is a lot of weight in a day or 2 and I weigh frequently so same scales, nothing different. Even at water weight, which that is probably what it is, a lot. i wish you well. I need to lose more than the 5 though!

I bought a scales yesterday to finally face the music. SM
I have been avoiding weighing myself but knew I put on a lot of weight in the past several months. Well today after my shower on break I weighed myself. It was almost like the comedians say when the scales flashes a message "One at a time, please." Wow. I have got to get a grip. I know it is emotional eating. Any suggestions? I did somewhat better tonight and will keep trying, but I have said this so many times before.
Hey! I want one of those scales! :) SM
I really hope things get better for you at work and with the excess weight! :( You should consider looking for a new job. With all the "free" time you have in your schedule waiting for work, you could fit a full-time job in there...then say "buh-bye" to the lousy one!
I'm struggling with weight too...it's hard being at home near the fridge day in and day out!
Sending you ((((understanding/commiserating)))) vibes!
Hugs,
Chickadee
or youcan say that you are allergic to scales, but only in public!..LOL!...nm

Sure, it came from the AFA.net website. AFA stepped up
to the plate and called several companies (nicely) on the carpet. Some companies obliged and some didn't. Over 700,000 people had signed a boycott of Target stores and within a week, Target changed their stance and the boycott ceased. These companies need to realize that surveys have proven that about 96% of the American population celebrate CHRISTMAS.
It seems that K-Fed has stepped up to the plate
and is taking care of his kids. You don't see him out partying and running wild like Brit. These children need their father as long as he continues doing what he is doing now.
They also are looking for the people who stepped all over her...
because no one came forward...like you don't know that you are stepping on a person??? So sad...
Stepped on a lot of toes when I stated
about how these posts come across, i.e. women stating how to take time of the baby, soccer time, cooking, doing the clothes, etc. and still complaining about not being taken as professional. Well, duh. As you stated, the perception is doubled when working from home your life is a bunch of bon-bons. Just the other day was told by a friend I could wear my PJs if I wanted to while working. That is definitely not something I do but the perception is there regardless and then the MTs come on here oh woe is me, what will I do with Jr. while I'm working. They should have to do the work like your grandmother years ago and probably would be grateful to have the opportunity to be at home and really keep their attention on their MT work instead of moaning and groaning. If you have to do your housework while working, do it and don't moan about it. Comes with being a mother and working at the same time.
I think I stepped in the cuckoo's nest!!!
LOLOLL
Have you ever stepped into hostile country
I live in the south and trying to find out ways to ship animals, including cats, to northern states to help these furries out. We have an over abundance here and up north lack of friends. So many animals put down here that I am doing whatever I can do to help these little souls out. My husband really is not a cat person but (love him more for this) he brought home 2 brothers 4 years ago, tuxedos, that have made my life so happy and then I had a new one show up at my door needing a home, well that is the tale I told my husband so I could keep her. I love cats so much because they are, unlike me, very low upkeep. I have found my place working with cats as well as dogs trying to make their lives a little better. So rewarding!
My kitty just stepped on my C-phone and disconnected me! I love my
cat, but many he drives me nuts sometimes. He likes to lay behind my monitor and look at the window (my desk faces a big window). Problem is when he's ready to get up and leave, he never just jumps off the desk from behind, he likes to walk around the monitor and give me a little good by nudge. When he was a little kitty about nine months ago, that was fine. He was so small, he could move around and not touch anything on my desk. Now that he's gotten big, he just steps right on my C-phone number pad and then right onto my keyboard and then down into the floor. When I grab him up in effort to keep him from messing up my world, he gets really po'd and gives me the cold shoulder for the rest of the day.
Just now, I had just rolled into a 12 min ESL consultation and he disconnected me and I know my co-workers will think I sent it back cause I didn't want to type it! It ain't easy being a cat owner!
Just thought I'd share!
Adult photos are legal. FBI stepped in because the sicko had pics of a minor.

I just got this new Dog yesterday
I just got this new Dog yesterday. She is so cute and good but is not trained yet. How do I get the dog to go to the door to let me know she needs to go potty? She is a sweet and very mild girl, gets along well with the cats and hardly barks. We only had two minor accidents yesterday. I could really use some tips. Thanks in advance.
Just yesterday my mom
and I were discussing dryer troubles. Her quit working, she had a repair man take a look at it. He vaccumed out all the lint and it cost her $150.00. Then 3 weeks later, it quit working again. Next time I will tell her to call you.
Went to the ER yesterday and they
said it was probably just a viral infection. She is just in the bed sleeping on and off. She don't want to play or do anything else. She don't have an appetite. She has been drinking pretty good though. Popsicles is a good idea also. I'll try that also. Again, thanks so much for the advice. It is definitely appreciated.
-43 yesterday in ND nm

You should have been here yesterday
I live probably what is considered North Georgia but 19 miles south of Atlanta. The living is good where I am and the weather, about 60 yesterday and supposedly the same today. Our winters here usually mild, this year we have gotten down to the teens once or twice but nothing you probably see all the time. I wish we did not have tornados warnings here, scared of those. The weather in the summer can be HOT and humid normally. I would much rather have this than what I see with all that snow and ice. I only remember 2 times since the 80s of what you might term blizzard or icy conditions and even those gone in a few days.
yesterday's
performances, I would rather say that Danny will be voted off. Chris was really good last night and Adam will be the winner, he is just in another league.
Scheduled yesterday but....
I was also out of work, no big problem with me. I am talking about being looked at as professional, not cleaning, cooking, taking care of babies, on and on when you do have work. Posts are written about how to fit other things in while they work?? I think most of us from time to time run out of work, myself included.
Ballet - we went yesterday and...sm
she loves it, of course! They close the door and you don't get to watch, but you can hear them singing. I guess they'll start learning steps for their recital in June now. Dh is having a fit over what the costume "might cost." I just read the letter when I got home about paying the rest of the costume (gave deposit of $55). The cost for the class is $54 every six weeks. Does that seem good? Does anyone know what the costume could cost? I'll probably just call the teacher and ask, but why not state it in the letter? Is it something they don't even know yet? I'm very new to this ballet stuff so not sure.
I saw a little doggie yesterday in a car
as I pulled up to get out and looked and would have called the police, alone in the vehicle at a flea market but what saved the owner was they had the window down. The weather here was in the high 50s and climbing but I would not hesitate if the windows had been up.
It has been on MSNBC since yesterday.
I'm on the West coast and just heard about it last night.
It was clearly an accident and now she has a criminal record over it.
Yesterday I was at the mall and a
guy was walking along talking to a young girl. He rounded the corner and I was coming toward them. He stopped his conversation with her and said loudly to me,
You're pretty . . then went back to his conversation with her! LOL! She did not seem upset at all. Her brother? a friend?
Question. . jerk or just a darn nice guy? LOL
She was also on Oprah yesterday
singing with Kelly Clarkson and Justin Limberlake, promoting her Duets with Rebba, I think that is what it is called, album. Think I will buy it. She is great. Also loved the sitcom, especially her with her ex and Barbara Jean. Very funny.
Someone already posted this yesterday

we had flurries yesterday....
none today...I am not excited about winter even though it is a beautiful season. I just hate below 0 weather and scraping ice off of my car.
3.14-3.16 a gallon yesterday x

Just wanted to thank you for your help yesterday. SM
It honestly has helped. When you said don't think of the whole amount to start with, and losing a little is more than gaining has really helped. All the comments I received were so nice and so many people can identify with this problem. So far I am doing good. Wish me luck and thanks again!
My cat with lymphoma from yesterday.
I just wanted to thank all of you again for your kinds words to help me get through a very difficult time yesterday. My little girl is gone. She went very peacefully and fast. She is now resting in my garden with a couple of garden statues to keep her company. Her name was Sixer, as she had 6 toes on her left foot. We got her from a shelter 10 years ago and we knew she was the one. I wanted to get a female cat so that I would not be the only girl in the house. She was the little girl I never had.
I had a very difficult morning today. It still feels so strange to not have her walking around the house. Very lonely without her, especially working at home. The sun is shining again today, and I know she is in a better place. My tears will subside and my heart won't be so empty some day, but right now not so much.
Again, my sincere thanks for being so kind.
Me too!! Saw it yesterday and thought the same!
It looks like they're acting!
I envy all of you. Our gas is $2.34 yesterday. PA
Live in a small town, but 11 miles away in another county, it was $1.48 last week. The GS around here are ripping us off and there's not a thing we can do about it.
Do you know how many times yesterday
that I started to ask this same exact question and then deleted it??? I had the opportunity the last two days to tell him I wanted out but I got scared and just stayed in the back of the house.
I did it - anon from yesterday (sm)
It's all reported and official. Now I don't feel so alone. I don't want to get into a big discussion on here in case he is checking to see if I posted anything...but it's all documented by the right people and they have my back. Starting my kids in counselling there as well. I feel my backbone growing back :-) If you have replies please reply to the orginal post below...don't want it to be right up top again, just in case. Thanks for all the words of wisdom and encouragement yesterday.
Here in Louisville, we were 0 yesterday
(Friday) and will be 40 today (Saturday), with snow predicted for Sunday.
She's out of luck....sm
You only are eligible for Medicare when you reach retirement age. Not your spouse... YOU! For Social Security, she can only get it when she reaches retirement age and the amount depends on how much she worked. Since she has only worked 3 months in her life she's not going to get anything. She doesn't get a check just because her husband gets one.
If her husband happens to die the she would receive his Social Security check until she reaches retirement age, then it is cut off, and if she remarries it would stop the second she got married. If he dies she does not get Medicare just because he had it.
I'm really luck
I love my neighbor and my neighorhood. In the summer there's always at least 15 children running around playing and all the "grown-ups" are out in the front yards just talking and we always have weekend parties and picnics. I don't know what I'd do if I had some of the neighbors that the posters have.
He should consider himself luck!
We are usually at 1-2 times a week at my house. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Very much depends on what time of the month it is for me because sometimes I want it more! Guess my hormones are getting whacky? Been married 25 years. 
I wish you luck!
Its a difficult thing. I would have put up with it longer, although I also didn't know what else to try.
I had luck with 2 of them, and almost a 3
The first one loved to climb up my coat and sit on my shoulders. It took about a month to tame that one.
The second one was somewhat more feral. It took 2 months just to get him to trust us and another month to get him in the house. Every sound spooked him and he tried to jump through our glass sidelight when my husband came out of the bedroom one morning. Poor thing went and hid for part of the day. He did love being in the house, but also liked being outside to roam. I could never break either of them to not want to be outside.
The third one was quite old and we tried for over a year. He wouldn't let us get within 5 feet of him, but it was better than 100 feet. Sadly, we found him dead in the field shot by the jerk who hunts rabbits. The cat could not have been mistaken for a rabbit as he was a bright golden yellow/orange. I would have called the SPCA but we can't prove this jerk did it. We just know it because it wasn't the first time it happened.
Now we have another orange cat and a beautiful black and white long hair hanging around. The orange seems a bit more tame and we have gotten within 3 feet of him, but the black and white is too skittish. The hope of taming the orange is nil since we now have a dog that doesn't seem to like cats. I would get rid of the dog but he was DH's birthday present a few years back. LOL
I saw all the posts on this subject yesterday too, --sm
and usually if the moderator moves a thread, there is an arrow showing that, or sometimes an explanation as to why something was eliminated. Sometimes if someone mentions a specific name or area, a thread might be removed, but she usually explains that. Maybe something went wrong with the system. Perhaps she will explain later when she sees this. I don't think it was placed on the *wrong board*. But congrats to the new parents!!!
When calling up my internet yesterday
playing over and over and over the picture of this mad man in different poses. I can understand why so many of the family and friends upset today with the media. Hubs made mention of every channel playing but I just keep watching fluff and not because I didn’t care, just because I know my heart and it would just break too much. The television channels were wrong in the fact they allowed this thing to have his 15 minutes.
I did not read the post yesterday and sorry
because I had puppies who got sick with mucus, bloody discharge from the anus, weight loss and I lost them. This is very lethal and had I read her post would have immediately told her to not wait for appointment to see veterinarian because this onset does not let someone take that long before young puppies can die. I had in my back yard and never could let young puppies be there ever. I hope hers is ok and she was able to get some assistance with the pup.
Missed these shows yesterday...sm
Anything good happen? Did Nick reappear? Please update me...
Yesterday's headlines killed me.
"Dr. Melfi quits treating Tony Soprano to start treating Paris Hilton!"
Too funny.
She said on The View that "Paris called and needed me so I had to make all my time available for Paris and her family!"
Yum! I did that yesterday with cornbread stuffing

daughter suspended yesterday - sm
I'm a little upset here folks.
My 15-year-old daughter is a freshman this year and this high school (small town) has had 3 sexually motivated attacks in the past 2 years, all of them last year.
As a precaution, my husband and I bought my daughter a little keychain for her house key that has a tiny little pepper spray cannister. It's so small, it's only good for 1-2 sprays but enough to deter anyone from an attack. It also has a safety button on it that has to be moved into position before you can spray it but its very easy to move with the thumb. She has carried this with her since late last spring when two of the attacks happened.
Not to mention the fact that there have been several instances where the kids are walking home from the bus stop or home from a friends house when they are approached by a car of young men harrassing them. Also, there have been numerous reports of attempted lurings recently, here and in the next town over.
Yesterday, as she was getting her book bag together before the end of school, getting ready to go out and catch the bus home, she had the keychain sitting out on the desk. Her teacher happened to walk by and see the keychain laying out and picked it up to look at it. You can't even tell it's a pepper spray until you look at it closely because the cannister slips into a holder that looks like a little bear. The spray comes from the bear's mouth.
So the teacher picks it up and says something like oh how cute. Then my daughter told her that it was her protection. The teacher questioned her about what she meant and she told her. The teacher snatches the keychain, grabs my daughter's arm and marched her to the office for "having a weapon."
My daughter has now been suspended for 2 days. I'm mad. They don't keep an eye on the bullies, there are 2 kids in the school who have been convicted of sexual battery, and there was a stabbing right in front of the school about 3 years ago, where the buses drop and pick up. No increased security at the school after ANY of these attacks.
I have read the policies for the district and in the list of multiple items classified as "weapons" NOWHERE does it say that pepper spray is considered a weapon.
I plan on meeting with the principal and the district superintendant today to discuss this.
No wonder the kids here don't like this school. They don't feel safe here.
There's my rant. 
Just started Nutrisystems yesterday - sm
actually signed up for it back in November but schedule was too nuts to get going on it, plus had not told DH about it (he went nuts last year when I said I wanted to do it as it is expensive and he did not want me spending the money). Well won $250 in December, MIL gave me $300 for Christmas and DH wanted to get me an expensive necklace ($600) for Christmas. So dropped on him that instead of getting a pretty bauble to pay for a month of the Nutrisystems. He is not happy but he will be in the long run. Going to stick to it for 4 months (will end up with 4 weeks of free food in the long run do to 2 deals I was able to swing with NS). I did NS years ago when I only had to lose 15 pounds, have about 70+ to go this time. So I am hoping as long as I am good about it (the exercise is my downfall) then I hope to be at least 40 pounds lighter in 4 months. Then I will just watch what I eat, do Lean Cuisine for dinner, etc. and try to keep the downward spiral going.
Yes, very sad. Heard the news yesterday.
New York news stations broke the news only 1-1/2 hours after it happened, but what I find more disturbing is that I heard this morning that his family heard about his death on the NEWS. Just tragic all around.
My mom had those symptoms yesterday, turned out to be (sm)
Her blood pressure, it was 147/100 when we checked it about 20 minutes after her sx started. She is on meds but is still having a hard time keeping it controlled.
Another thought, again, based on my mom's issues: She very similar symptoms that kept getting worse and ended up needing a pacemaker.
So, anyway, your original thought about BP might be the angle to check on next.
I had Greek yesterday, but they did not have any lamb
settled for beef Gyro ? plate with Greek Salad, Rice, Yummy.
I first tried it (lamb) in London..Pretty good, sweet tasting though, like you say, Cat.
Soul Food Cookers like to cook lamp with collards, etc. Red Beans & Rice... Huh?
power outage yesterday
Will someone explain how it is that a power plant shutting down in Miami yesterday caused 3 million people across the state of Florida including myself to lose power 100s of miles away? I'm literally like 270 miles away and had no power for 2 hours. Since I'm an IC, no power equals no work equals no money! Urggh so frustrating how often we lose power in Florida!
Yesterday is gone, live for today
