James replied, "I swear, sometimes that woman just doesn't show any decorum." Stomping on the floor loudly enough to silence the noise in the room below, then hearing a door open and close downstairs and booted footsteps coming up the stairs.

Fortunately my husband takes good care of me, and he's also planning on losing the same amount--not easy in a wheelchair--so we will BOTH be buying new wardrobes...hopefully dressy casual...and some jeans....I'm a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy, not a "fashion slave", nor a droopy drawer wearer......... The thing about the Omega-3 fatty acids is that they don't ADD cholesterol...and other things have been proven to actually reduce cholesterol over time, like Cheerios cereal (oat rings), oatmeal (hot cereal of oats, you call it porridge--I think) primarily any oat based cereal or cereal products...not necessarily all high-fiber cereals...something about oats, I guess...too bad my Rob doesn't like oatmeal... ...even a glass of wine...or Dark Chocolate...something about how the antioxidants work on the body. The main things anyone choosing to lose weight should do to stay sane, really, is 1) Do NOT do a starvation diet, because you are starving yourself--literally to death--and malnourishing yourself. 2) Drink enough liquids, switch to zero calorie sodas or flavored waters (fortunately, we have a plethora of these here, and not all flavored with saccharin--thank the powers that be<blech!>). 3) Reduce portion sizes of starches, carbs and protiens--if the food on your plate is stacked on top of its neighbor, you're eating too much. 4) Eat all the vegetables you want during meals, they make good snacks too. 5) Keep some dairy products in your daily intake, i.e.: Non-fat Yogurt, margarine (some are a good source of those O-3 oils), Lowfat (2%) milk. 6) Eat 3 or more servings of fruit. 7) Get 3 servings of "Good" oils (Omega-3 fatty acids, from some fish dishes, foods made with Olive Oil). 8) Switch away from red meat and fried foods. 9) Ask friends for support--then when you go out, they can make a more appropriate choice of restaurant without having to embarrass you first in the process. 10) Believe in yourself!

"Almost everything. Just to be fair," said James, directing a scowl at his father, "I need to speak to Welling now." James was slightly surprised as his father's complexion seemed to pale a bit.

If this is still going on in a deliberation, how about the previously mentioned: Shades or (the even more sensible): Shadows The word "Lurking" could be added before either of these words also.

Also, when you feel you are hungry, try to determine whether it is actual hunger or just thirst--drink some water (not just a couple sips, an 8 ounce glass)--then wait 15 minutes...if you're still hungry, go eat, otherwise, your body was telling you it was thirsty!

"Okay," James continued, "but that still doesn't explain all that's going on, and why it's happening here! And WHO is Tom Welling?!?"

Always happy to help, Benj'.... Vidal Sassoon

"Well, you interrupted something, and who's Tom Welling? It was my parents, Resi and I and no one else here..." asked James.

Try going to Weight Watchers...I'm down almost 12 pounds in 6 weeks...and trying to lose about the same amount (60 pounds). One of the biggest problems faced by people who are trying to lose weight is, and I know this sounds odd, they are not eating enough to run their metabolism up to speed, so it stays in "starvation mode" and you keep extracting more from your food than you need, and all that excess gets stored as, right--more fat. Actually, Avocado is viewed as a very fattening fruit and should be limited as part of a healthy diet...if you're going to use a butter-type spread on bread, use the low calorie bread, and only 1 slice (or equivalent) of spread for 2 slices. If you use Peanut butter, use 1 tablespoon for each slice (more protein in p'butter), or subsitute apple sauce for butter or margarine on bread or in mixes. Another short-cut: buy the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" Spray, or similar product, for bread, it gets you all the flavor and none of the spreading hassle of cold spread on hot toast, and the spray serving size allows for great flavoring of toast and bread. My biggest change was going to Coke Zero instead of staying on regular sugary sodas--I abhor regular Diet Sodas (they still use saccharin for sweetening, and I want to heave when I taste it). WW advice is to drink the equivalent of 64 ounces of LIQUIDS per day (not just water anymore--iced tea, hot tea, any liquid will work, now). The next big change was portion sizing. But it's working--11.8 pounds in 7 weeks, last week was 1 pound even, so 10.8 in 6, then 1 in 1. Good luck!

Yay! I bought our tickets to the IMAX version just a couple days ago, for Friday the 9th...at 4:05PM, PDT, so we'll be having dinner at El Torito afterward...I hope. (it's a good E.T.) And Rob does want to go see the Wolverine movie...so I can sit through that without a problem...

Yay! Another HALO fan!

For once, James was glad that his parents sometimes didn't remember to knock, as they barged into his room so fast that his door literally exploded against the wall opposite. Grabbing James by his shoulders, his mother tossed him gently over her shoulders while his father cornered the deceptively thin vampire youngling with a wooden cross, with a sharpened base, and a large handheld mirror which also served to reflect the cross' image. Then James' mother joined him, heavily spraying the vampire with a mist of water from a trigger spray bottle, causing him to immediately scream in recognition of pain unimaginable, while causing his flesh to immediately start blistering and melting as a result. James chose that moment to break through Vince's trance, now that Vince's mental hold was no longer present, asking, "What was that stuff?" A voice from the window spoke, slightly deeper than James' own, "It could only have been Holy Water." Resi stated, hopping down from the window sill and completing his transformation mid-jump, taking James into his arms once more.

And don't call me a "Moggy", that's for the OTHER idiot in the OTHER thread! Must we psychoanalyze any situation?

Why shouldn't we philosophize once in a while?

Or is reproduction a joke played upon humanity for love?

"James," Resi pleaded, "They already know...why do you think they changed earlier? That was not a dream you were having, nor was my appearance earlier in the shower--it's real, so is my love!"

Rush, honey, you win! That's absolutely priceless!

It's not actually a drafting technique, it's a method whereby they keep from releasing you from your contract of service, because one's service skills are necessary to the service and not replaceable at the time of scheduled discharge. Law Breaker
