A Normal Person's Scale

The standard upright analog clinical counterbalanced scale goes up to 350lbs. If you happen to weigh in above that, you get the luxury of the added accuracy of the digital small cow/freight scale which has a 2-foot by 2-foot platform for you to stand on. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes four... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Good Feeling Day

Today I got to weigh on the normal person's scale at the doctor's office. That is something I have wanted to do for years. I cannot put into words how good that felt. Sign in to see full entry.

Gone Wonky

I got up this morning and Firefox just up and fergot all 'bout me. I've had to deal with this lost profile crap at work but not here. Now I have to go to all my websites and reset my passwords. Sign in to see full entry.

The Lights Are On Now

This is partially inspired by Daisysface's post A couple of weeks ago I got home about 3:45am. I work nights and get off work around 2am. I usually work on blog posts for a bit after quitting time. So I was sitting here at the computer and the air conditioner was running. My house has a bit of a... Sign in to see full entry.

Because I Wasn't Meant To!

The idea for this post came to me when the words of a former pastor of mine came to mind. I spoke with him after his youngest son had gotten married, and he asked me a question he had asked before. He wanted to know how a hard working nice guy could manage to stay single. I don't remember what I... Sign in to see full entry.

It Works

I just finished my first 30min session of in-home step aerobics. I bought a home step platform from Wal-Mart the other day and set it up this afternoon. It took a bit longer to break a sweat because I am indoors and we Texans are as obsessed over air conditioning as we are cars. So it was me... Sign in to see full entry.

Bending Over

For the first time in many years I can bend over and pick up stuff off the floor without feeling like I am going to fall down. I can also sit in a chair now and tie my shoes without having to prop my foot up on something. But being able to sit down in the seat at the theater without feeling like I'm...

Yet Another Reason Why I Need To

STICK TO WHAT WORKS!!! For several years now I have been in the habit of balancing my checkbook daily. Last week I made a deposit and hadn't written down a regular charge that comes through on the first every month and then I didn't look at it again until today (payday) and sure enough, I got hit...

Spam: Now I've Seen It All

Several weeks ago I started getting stock investment spam. I've just been selecting it and clicking the "Report Spam" button in Gmail. Today I have a message from someone calling himself/herself "Infant." If I am going to be getting spam from a baby it'd better be that cigar smoking baby from Who... Sign in to see full entry.
