Some of these may be old...some new.

1. If you, or someone you know is hearing impaired and loves to bake, uses a timer, and is afraid of not hearing it ding...tell them to get a small timer and carry it around with them around the house, outside, etc.

2. If you own cats/dogs or pets that shed all over furniture or rugs...grab a pair of household gloves (playtex yellow ones) put them on and dip hands into water, then run hand over area with pet hair. Repeat dipping in water...

Ugh! I'm bushed! and very sore at the moment. I spent most of the late morning/early afternoon doing yard work. For the most part it involved cutting back several overgrown plants and shaping them. I still need to clean up the flowerbeds in that area, but that's gonna wait until tomorrow.

I used to do gardening all the time when I was thinner. I really had hoped losing 51 pounds (since GB initial meeting) would help me to be more flexible and finally enjoy gardening. Guess it's not...

Well, it's been quite a ride. Had one REALLY bad day (you can read the thread here) and a couple really interesting days (here) and my rebirthday (here). Lots of happiness, very little anything else.

The airline did call back, and I do start flight school October 25th. So, I have a little over three weeks to get this life in order so I can step over into a different one.

I did some garage sale shopping this morning (for used books) and came back and took a nap,...

Only a couple more days to go, and the excitement is getting to me. I am having a lot of trouble sleeping, because my mind won't turn off. I keep invisioning all the things I will be able to finally do once I lose some weight. I had my 'last supper' tonight. After dieting for so long, it wasn't worth it, and I would have liked to have not had that third piece of pizza. I feel gross. I'm sticking with light meals from now on. I'm going to have to hit the gym a couple of extra times now, just to assuage...

I'm brand new here, and am ecstatic to be going in for my surgery on October 1st. I have been on an adrenaline rush ever since scheduling, and I want to cry at the thought of finally shedding this body I've been lugging around for so long. I don't want to post my weight until after, since I still find it shameful to have let myself get to this point. In preparation for the sx, I have been going to the gym at least 3x/week for the past few weeks. It is women only, and they are really nice to me there,...
