Yet again Stirls, your power of the multi quote astounds moi and all in dark orchid. If I did one that big I'd forget what I wanted to write.

Zens, I now have an image in me head of all these grey people sitting in a grey room clutching their phones with tears running down their face like some Russian movie.

thanks guys for letting me off the hook and well done on the half pound JC

Also... I'm short, your mentioning my being 6 foot tall and blonde forced me to mention this fact - I'm also dark haired but notably not emo... I eat emos for breakfast xD

EDIT: now everybody turned up whilst I was posting. I am the owner of the bigegst x-post of the week to match stirlys multi-quote. hello everybody

I've been listening to a radio station in Canada the last while and today I heard this song which I haven't heard in years and years. It was such a treat. Put a huge smile on my face. I've copied and pasted the lyrics. Joni Mitchell is a musical phenomena IMHO. And of course I think even more of her since she's a fellow Canuck. She's also a very talented painter. You gotta love the woman. Mind you she probably appeals more to peeps of my age...

He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel
He was drinking for diversion
He was thinking for himself
A little money riding on the Maple Leafs
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says let me sit down
You know, drinkin' alone's a shame
It's a shame it's a crying shame
Look at those jokers
Glued to that damn hockey game
Hey honey-you've got lots of cash
Bring us round a bottle
And we'll have some laughs
Gin's what I'm drinking
I was raised on robbery

I'm a pretty good cook
I'm sitting on my groceries
Come up to my kitchen
I'll show you my best recipe
I try and I try but I can't save a cent
I'm up after midnight cooking
Trying to make my rent
I'm rough but I'm pleasin'
I was raised on robbery

We had a little money once
They were pushing through a four lane highway
Government gave us three thousand dollars
You should have seen it fly away
First he bought a '57 Biscayne
He put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest
That son of a bitch
His blood's bad whiskey
I was raised on robbery

You know you ain't bad looking
I like the way you hold your drinks
Come home with me honey
I ain't asking for no full length mink
Hey, where you going
Don't go yet
Your glass ain't empty and we just met
You're mean when your loaded
I was raised on robbery

I think it's inevitable that there will be fluctuations in the amount of weight you lose each week and I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up putting weight on some weeks, but as long as you stick at it, you'll get there in the end. You've done brilliantly so far. I agree, JC has done brilliantly so far. I have to disagree with the weight gain part tho'. She may "platform" and not lose any weight for a couple of weeks but gain weight? Sorry, Panda-Man, I have to disagree. Especially since it's a high-fibre, low fat diet. But then you never know....

Okies, I'm going to run to the gym. Maybe I'll catch someone around when I get back. If not will see yous on the morrow... (I'm hoping to have some decent time to chat on the morrow... so beware!) xxxYes, but I've done better in the past. Hope you have a great workout. Am off to walk the dogger in a bit. He's got his legs crossed again...:H

Oh good grief - what a picture. That is why I have the same simpleton cell phone for the last x-number of years and even tho' I've got an updated version of the same phone, I never use it. I like things simple....

Not off the hook dear girl. You posted what you felt and that's what you should do. Best of luck to you in getting things straightened out. :heart:

Inchy dear, Jackie, not being a tall person, simply assumes that all other people are tall. She's not short either but considers herself so. And please don't eat any more EMO's for breakfast. That's an awful lot of hair and hair products to digest...

Hiya Reccie-bear. I got you mixed up with JC earlier. Hope things have cooled down a bit in your corner of the world.

Troopers, I'm off to walk my dear Freddie and then to read a bit before bed. I finished Maeve Binchy's book "Tara Road" today and am about to embark on "Light a Penny Candle". She is a fantastic author IMHO. Waiting in line is Ken Follet's "The Pillars of the Earth" and "Saving Fish from Drowning" by Amy Tan. And "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.

Wishing you all..



Tomorrowz...
