Maybe in another 50 pounds.

Default Celebrating the lesser man.

Wow!

That was incredible. I've read this entire thread documenting your journey but Jim's feature gave it more depth.

I'm blown away right now. I know I've said it before but I am so proud of you AND your wife.

Lily will never know what it is like to have overweight parents. What an incredible priceless gift.!!.

Muchas Gracias!

A lot of blood, sweat, and carbohydrates went into that piece.

And speaking of Ireland...I can't stop listening to that song or "Jamaica Inn." I should of put the Jamaica song on Whit's CD--it fits perfectly: "The sexiest thing is trust..."

I'm off to meditate and get my mind wrapped around all liquids for the next two days as I try this Pouch Test. I think it will be okay...I've got crab legs to look forward to Wednesday or Thursday night as my soft protein!

Later Taters, (and thanks again, Jim!)

-Mike

^I actually was going to suggest that song but I thought it was just me still being on my never ending Beekeeper kick.

So much of that album deals with betrayal and trust. Parasol would have been fitting as well.

Perhaps if she likes it you could make her another one. Or I could do it. I have tons of breakup cds that are tori light. I tend not to associate her with the bad things in life (lol)

I turn to Dresden Dolls, Brighteyes, Becks Sea Change. Jack Johnsons Brushfire Fairytales was like actually talking it out in thearpy. Oh and DIDO Life for Rent.

Tori's Angels and Honey..
"Before you change the world maybe boy you should change your....girl."

Ok someone stop me before I actually start to burn a cd or intiate a breakup. All D would have to work through it would be angry Disturbed.

I just got back from seeing Sting and The Police in concert.

The concert was INCREDIBLE! Elvis Costello opened for them and he was great too.

The best part of all is that I TOTALLY fit in the seats--without even thinking I sat down, and it dawned on me that I wasn't even touching the sides.

Going to the concert itself was a WOW, but to have a WOW moment in the midst of that was just awesome!

Smile Pleased

I am so pleased you had a nice time. I remember seeing them years ago. I think I used to fancy him for a while seems I have grown up alot since then.


Did they sound the same as when they were younger?

My weekend was teaching cards with disabled adults which I enjoy doing.

Take care Dianne
