I wish I had time to play with false eyelashes. Sadly, don't before Saturday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My home internet is down

Time Warner? Because according to my mom, it's a wiiiiiiiiiidespread problem.

Good to hear the recovery is going well, Kathy.

Kathy! Good to see you.

I ALWAYS gain back weight when I eat what I think of as a "normal" diet. It's not me, it's that my idea of normal is just not good for me. Too much food, too much sugar, too many carbs.

My normal has shifted, somewhat. What I think of as a reasonable meal is not what it used to be, and there are some things that just don't even appeal anymore.

That said, it's an ongoing thing. I've been slipping recently, and put back on about 10-15 of what I lost. Pasta has crept back into my diet, though bread not so much. Cheeses I'm still okay on - I adore parmesan and eat too much of it, and really good cheeses I am powerless against. But supermarket cheese holds no appeal anymore. Fried things are hard to say no to, though.

Which is why I'm looking at WW again.

For me, it was just about what I stock in my house and make it as thoughtless as possible, because I don't like thinking about food when I am hungry.

This is so key.

I like baking cookies. But I don't really eat them. Luckily, I have guinea pigs galore now!)

Heh. I love cooking and baking, and a lot of times by the time I'm done cooking I don't actually want to eat any. (Which doesn't mean I didn't eat dough or whatever in the process.) I bring a lot of shit into work, which is like best of both worlds.

My home internet is down, and my phone is cranky. I have fucking had it with the Cliq. I love Android, but this hardware is for the birds. This is my third phone and suddenly the attitude detector thingy isn't working. I just fired it up this morning and sent the old one back at noon! But it is the only Android phone at TMobile with a keyboard, dammit.

I've got the G2, which I love in some ways but don't in others. Let me know if you want to hear more.

Hi, Kathy! I'm glad things went well.

Hi, Kathy! Good to see you!

I lost 30+ lbs on WW about 4 or 5 years ago, and have kept it off. I've regained about 6 lbs over the past few months, and I know exactly why. I need to get back to going for a daily walk (or using the exercise bike), and I need to keep a better eye on my portion sizes. It's just hard to get back into that routine.

Think I have my catsitting for Xmas all sorted out. But they are the same ones who just covered my ass at TG . I got both a good bottles of Prosecco and cookies, but I feel like I want to do more for Xmas, since I've bribed them with a bottle of wine in the past. Suggestions? What would be a good gift for a couple with 2 kids under 7 and a newly married couple just returned from honeymoon?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, Time Warner. How wide is wide? I need company for my misery.

I think I would need to jailbreak the G2 for TMobile. How come I'm so alone in sucking so hard at onscreen keyboards that I refuse to use them? How is the phone?

My only issue with jailbreaking a phone is about how I would keep the OS up to date. Which isn't an issue with the Cliq, since it is at 1.6 when the rest of the world is past two.

Just watched the season finale of Terriers. Tim hasn't changed a bit.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Not alone, dude. I need tactile, man.

Tim hasn't changed a bit.

And also, this is a true fact.
