Why would you need anything with your hot dogs? Two hot dogs, with no soda, suits me just fine
Well, I see I did it again ... laid back down for a little extra shuteye and stayed logged in, confusing the world as to my whereabouts.
...
I guess the only real way to lose the weight is the hard but safe way.
And the word of the day is: POLYLEMMA!

It only comes with 1 hot dog. So it's nice to have something else (i.e., the fries).

That is very true, Jennifer, but you are allowed to order two.
Today was a beautiful day here in Western Washington. Bright blue skies and temperatures in the 50's. And I had a nice leisurely lunch with two old friends. One was the first girl I ever went on a date with, and one was the girl I was engaged to while in college.

A funny cat video for all you cat lovers.
Joe is home, safely, in Minnesota. We were lucky that the morning snow didn't affect his flight at all. We took the E subway to the Air Train and dropped him off at Departures which is as far as we could go.
We then took the Air Train back to the E and at Forest Hills we changed to the F which is 2 blocks closer to the apartment but the F was crowded with morning commuters (it was 9:30am) so we stood most of the way. If we had stayed on the E we would have been able to sit for the 50 minute ride.
Joe (and we) had a wonderful time but we were exhausted! We got home, nibbled a little and then both of us went back to bed. We just lazed around for the rest of the day after we woke up and we went to bed early. I think I'm back on my usual schedule now, I got up around 6.
All in all, it was a wonderful four days with my nephew.
We watched a film called THIN ICE last night that we'd recorded.
About 20-30 minutes into the recording, apparently something had gone wrong with the broadcast and about five minutes were missing. And, something VERY important to the plot had taken place during those missing minutes (i.e. somebody had been killed, but I had no idea "who").
Hi all,
I went to bed early and slept late.
I have a warning for all of you--that Dr. Oz Raspberry Ketone diet pill. I thought I'd take it because it was cheap and I heard it worked. I started on Monday.
Yesterday, I was feeling funny and checked my blood sugar. Not only was it sky high--over 300--it was flashing "Ketones?". I didn't know what that meant so I looked it up.
Here is what I found:
http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/complications/ketoacidosis-dka.html
It is VERY dangerous and it said to go to the hospital. Now I didn't go because I knew I took that pill and that it would go out of my system. I checked my blood sugar this morning and I'm fine but i will NOT take that pill again.
I guess the only real way to lose the weight is the hard but safe way.
Where the fat hell is everyone?
That was a very sad discovery, BK.
I'm sorry about the books, BK.
You can rest assured that your books have a prominent place on my bookshelves.
I took a diet pill in 1985. Never again. Of course, if I was as thin now as I was in 1985, I wouldn't need a diet pill. What was I thinking?So sorry, DR Ginny.
So no one thinks anything about my discovery this morning?
When I browse used books stores I am surprised how often people sell autographed books. I even purchased on locally that has been autographed for someone I knew, by a local author.
Bruce at first I figured your story going to be like the book I purchased. I'm very sorry it is far more than that. I'm glad you didn't send the email, really no point in it. Making sure your rights are protected is, of course, different.
I'm glad the one member, who is obviously caught in something painful to her as well, didn't sell your books.
Contrary to my dream of the other night, I went to Office Depot and found 2 possible chairs. Both expensive but they had the "heavy use" rating for folks who sit in their chairs for up to eight hours.
Chair #1 -- the one I'm hoping to get---

Chair #2 It says it's only available online but I sat in one today at the store. Very comfortable.

After a slightly depressing visit with my Mom, I came home to find online evidence that a group of women who I thought were friends had a farewell gathering today for one of them who's relocating to the northern part of the state. I was not invited. Pizza, wine, and chocolate frozen yogurt for dinner were called for.

Aww Ginny, I'm sorry on both counts. Are you sure your oversight was intentional?

I would have preferred they throw them in the trash or send them back or something. To sell them to a used bookstore, one within close proximity to my residence, and knowing I'm a book collector who frequents these jernts is, well, something - not sure what. Karma, that's the word that keeps popping up. My instinct was to write an immediate e-mail, or take a photo of the books and post on Facebook with a pithy comment, where they'd be sure to see it. But after talking to friends, karma will take care of all of this.
Sorry, BK, about your revolting discovery today. I recommend you stop looking at/for those books while I stop looking at certain ladies' Facebook pages.

I took a few once, never again. Even more amazing is my father gave them to me because I was overweight. Even at my heaviest I wasn't overweight.
Bruce did you think I was fat in high school?
I wish I had gone to see Elaine Paige the other night. I guess I have a thing about going out on a "school" night.
Since it's the beginning of Daylight Saving Time, I've already put my alarm clock ahead.

It probably wasn't malicious, but the result of my not being as active recently on our online conversations about printed quilted handbags.
DR Danise do the pills say Dr. Oz on them? If so I would write to him that he needs a warning on them and how sick you got. I bet he has a FB page ;)No, he doesn't have a "brand" he just recommend that Raspberry Keystones would help you lose weight on his show. They were selling some at Walmart and I read all the reviews on line. No one mentioned what happened to me.

Good idea Ginny. Will you both remove these people from your FB friends?
Iam sure that John G already has one of these, but for the rest of us; make sure you "save" this new product.

Thought about it, but decided that's too "junior high."

I'm glad it wasn't malicious, just thoughtless. Of course that still changes how you feel about them.
Errr, one would have to hope that the correct ahhh item was brought forth or there could be an arrest made. ;) And I think there could be a very strong possibility of that happening anyway.Iam sure that John G already has one of these, but for the rest of us; make sure you "save" this new product.

What will they think of next?
Pogue, I agree. If something is given to me as a gift and especially if it's inscribed to me by the author, I would never sell it no matter what. I'm afraid these people are beyond help - what caused this I will never ever know. And that's fine.
Why am I watching a Golden Girls marathon when I've seen all the shows before? I guess because I still think they're very funny.

BK, I would definitely NOT email them. That sounds like such a bad idea. Is it possible that when the parents were mad at you that they just decided to get rid of everything you gave them?
I would really not blame anything on the daughter. She's just a kid.
The thing is, how much money could they have gotten for selling the books to the used book store? I really don't think that you should do anything. Not taking pictures of the books. Not sending lawyers letters. Calm down and think things through. In the grand scheme of things, what they did was not nice. But you haven't been close to them for quite a while. They obviously have issues. But those are their issues. I would just let it go.

As Pogue says above, I have to have a lawyer e-mail them because I'm sure they will continue to attempt to use my material, arrangements and patter, all of which I own and which I will not allow. They do not deserve them and they are not entitled to them.

I pulled a muscle or did something in my hip today. It isn't too bad if I keep getting up & moving. I went for a short walk before and after getting my hair cut today.
I need to move around again.
We artistes tend to be emotional beings and always have the instinct to respond immediately and not pleasantly. But what does one gain from that, exactly? Momentary satisfaction, I suppose, but that's about it. Saying nothing is the high road - they can do what they please and when people like this create this aura of negativity, one doesn't have to do anything at all - one just sits back and karma does the rest. And when I've behaved poorly in my past life, believe me I paid thanks to karma - which is why I constantly strive to be a decent human being - who needs bad karma? Not me. That I leave to them.
Feel better DR Cillaliz!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did go last night to the semi-final chamber music round. They were fabulous. World class and literally from all over the world. I am sorry I'm not there, but it just isnt' happening. I did sleep for 3 1/2 hours this afternoon

You don't know for sure that they didn't do this months ago before you sort of reconciled with them. What they did was really not nice. But it sort of reminds me of what someone does when they break up with someone else. They get rid of all their stuff. Should they have done this? No. Was it nice? No. Does it hurt your feelings. Of course.

I think responding when you are emotional is not a good thing. So I'm glad that you decided to wait.
I have a question though. Why are you so mad at them? You don't know for sure that they didn't do this months ago before you sort of reconciled with them. What they did was really not nice. But it sort of reminds me of what someone does when they break up with someone else. They get rid of all their stuff. Should they have done this? No. Was it nice? No. Does it hurt your feelings. Of course.
I think you mentioned once that they were dealing with other issues. Just take the high road here. No need to wish them bad karma.
Oh, and they didn't do it months ago because I was in the store five weeks ago.

Good point about the timing of when they did this.

Time for me to get some sleep. I have been doing a rough estimate of my taxes. It's not as bad as I expeccted. It's the one time of the year when I'm actually pleased that I have high overhead expenses.
