November 2019: International Army

Re: November 2019: International Army

Satz you just need to trim down the other shoe.
Tight jeans. Why did we ever think it was a good idea? I remember a story about a woman who used to lay on the back seat of the car while her husband drove them out because she couldn't bend.

Half the state and most of Queensland are on fire here. Not one drop of rain and 36 degrees today although it was more than that where I was. I think we're in for a long, destructive summer. Can't believe that Jude is expected a foot of snow at the same time!

Wondering about Paddy too. I suppose my worst fear is to finally get on top of this once and for all only to find it's too late and I've done myself an irreversible mischief.

I hope the foster puppy is OK Rustop. I love the doggers so much.

Re: November 2019: International Army

Well it looks like the bulk of the storm stayed North of us and we only got a few inches of snow.

So sorry to hear about the fires Bridget... wish that I could send you buckets of water!

That's wonderful that you foster dogs Rustop, but it must be so hard to give them up when the time comes for them to go elsewhere. :sorrow:

Re: November 2019: International Army

I kinda like the higher waisted jeans cuz I don't hafta keep pulling them up when I bend over! Not tight those eww gross! I remember after I had my youngest daughter I was desperate to get outta stretch pants so there I was 2 weeks after giving birth laying on the bed with pliers trying to wedge my fat ass into HUBS' jeans!! That was an awful memory you all stirred up with all this talk haha Jackie,ask one of the neighbors if they know what happened,Bridget hope you guys get some relief from the drought soon,Satz,I've had to put all of my good shoes high,I gave Spencer(new pup) a pair I didn't want anymore but of course he isn't interested in those

Re: November 2019: International Army

Well, i'm an apple, not a pear. The high waisted jeans just means nothing fits in my hips and thighs. They're all mom jeans at this point anyway, with plenty of lycra.

Sorry for your fires, Bridget. Ours are just about out although we haven't had any rain yet. What a time.

And sorry, Satz. The shoes made me laugh...

Thanks Pav :cuss: I have another pair of trainers - same deal - but that was when she was a cute puppy and we were very indulgent - so I bought a new pair!!
Now she KNOWS the buttons to push for attention ....

Re: November 2019: International Army

Went to WW this morning & news is not good. Turns out it's NOT muscle :egad:
Suffice to say my daily chocolate habit has taken its' toll ........ ( I suppose I really should not have been scoffing the residents' chocolate bickies)

I'm happy to report though that WW has really upped its' game since I was last there - with much more focus on getting healthy to lose weight instead of the other way 'round.
I ALWAYS knew a banana - the perfect package - in it's own casing - not meddled with - could not be bad for you.
So folks : like it or not expect to hear a lot of talk about food ( or lack of it) on here as I embark on this new project :haha:

Project Name :
"The Get Skinny for June Wedding in Portugal Project" :llama:

Bridge that's shocking re fires. HArd to believe when it's bloody freezing here. Hope it get sorted soon :hug:

Re. Paddy. He was apparently a 'divil' in his day. Drank like a fish. No-one knows the full story and he forgets sometimes when I ask him.
He was a detective and there was a lot of ducking & diving from what I gather

He was diagnosed with dementia Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome : aggressive episodes : excess alcohol.
He's told me himself his liver is fecked - so I think he just admitted himself 23 years ago to get away from nagging by his daughters when his wife died.
He's a bit of a loner ( can't blame him for that ) & just marches around and tries to steal kisses from any woman near him :haha:

Bridge - have full bloods done to ease your mind about anything lurking ?

Re: November 2019: International Army

Satz - I'll be following your "The Get Skinny for June Wedding in Portugal Project" posts closely.
I MUST lose more than a few pounds!

Bridge - I'm so sorry to hear about the fires. It's just awful.

Hope everyone is having a happy day/night.

[MENTION=9170]byebyebridgetjones[/MENTION]............been thinking about Queensland a lot. Fair few on my mother's side of the family emigrated to down under during the 50s and early 60s most of them settled in Queensland. They were part of the 10 pound poms. Ten Pound Poms - Wikipedia
My mum went out your way in 1986 for six weeks.

Re: November 2019: International Army

The part of the brain that loves alcohol loves sweets, too, [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION], so while you're frustrated, at least it isn't WEIRD! It's interesting, though, how people don't all develop the same "other" addictions. For example, gambling lights up the brain similarly and I HATE to gamble. When people have by-pass surgery and the "high" from food is gone, alcoholism is sometimes one of the unintended consequences. Some people love sugar and coffee after they quit drinking, others have no interest. I guess the thing is to find your rewarding substance or activity that makes you feel good in the long run.

A wedding in Portugal sounds quite exciting and posh!

Re: November 2019: International Army

Night everyone. Very long day, not long home from Pilates. Great to have the wedding as an incentive, I too have a sugar addiction but cannot seem to motivate myself. Beginning to really enjoy the Pilates. The fires are horrendous Bridget, hope it soon comes to an end.
