We got a divorce and he left me behind...sadly SHARING in 4-7-5.

Looks like the Grinch is getting an early start.  Somebody stole a bunch of Christmas care packages that were supposed to go to troops in Afghanistan.

This just in:  The Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world on December 21st.  The Aztec calendar doesn't.  And the Oreo cookie says we'll be okay.  http://www.cybersalt.org/funny-pictures/mayan-calendar-correction

I am a tad grumpy today. My detective skills are failing me because SOMEONE ( Mel and Chel) refuse to assist the police in an investigation. 
It all started a couple of weeks ago when I received a random text from one of the aforementioned ladies, wanting to know my t shirt size. I obliged, wanting to know why, and got no response  other than an airy "wait and see".... .
Then a few days later I go to the mailbox and find a package that has no return address, and my address printed in block lettering, obviously to avoid any chance of me comparing signatures. Inside was a  new white t-shirt in my size, with the saying "Short people: God only lets things grow until they are perfect, and some of us didn't take as long as others".

I immediately assumed it was the askee of the "your size" question, but they swear it is not them....and refuse to give me any other information, even after being advised that it is a crime to withhold information from law enforcement, and that she could be charged with Interferring with Governmental Operations... (I'm just trying to keep my friend from getting into trouble  )
But, NO, she remains a criminal and outlaw and will NOT assist the police, even though it is her duty as a citizen to do so.

I then tried to appeal to a dear sweet kind lady whose hobbies include amauter detective work. But no, it appears the aforementioned criminal/information withholder/ outlaw has infected her as well, and she too refused assistance, and went so far as to come on this very thread and accuse ME of wrongdoing.  How twisted and sad.......

So- as it stands today, I have two criminal/outlaw/snitches that refuse to give me the information I need to protect them and this board. I am giving thought to pursueing charges against the scofflaws- they were warned, but continued down the outlaw trail, dancing merrily behind our resident herb grower.... 

And I have a Christmas gift of which I have no clue of the giver, other than the postmark, which if I remember right was from Mississippi.....and yes, I ran that lead to the ground too. So if you  (the sender) are on here hiding- Thank You. The present touched my hardened chunk of coal like heart and made the holidays better for me. I'd wear it with pride, if I could get it back from my wife. 

And outlaws- I AM watching. I WILL catch you, and you WILL pay for your transgressions.

I am innocent!

...where is Missippi? I never heard of it.

[MsJennJenn]

Me either.

Me either.

Typical misdirection by crooks.  I've corrected the spelling.

Down 7 lbs., around 7 or 8 to go. Woo! Too bad Christmas is gonna be a doozy


Mom's making her famous chex mix, so I'm going to freeze mine 'til I can eat it and not gain 100 lbs.

You go! I need to loose weight, but while the spirit is strong my flesh is weak...especially around chocolate and Dr Pepper..

[Lynx]

Mine is hovering somewhere around 186 or so.  If I actually tried I might lose some. 

[The Purple Fuzzy]

  Grrr.

I just needed to vent.

Christmas is gonna be a real challenge for me. I have SO many recipes for desserts and other things that I CAN have though...maybe I won't think about what I CAN'T have. lol I have a good recipe for a chocolate dessert that's within my diet but I also plan to make "apple pie" without the crust. You just cut up an apple into small pieces (however small you want it), then sprinkle a mixture of ground cinnamon and truvia/stevia, then bake at 450 for 15 minutes. Tastes just like the filling of an apple pie (without all the creaminess).

But the "creaminess" is what I like!!!

Me too, Roscoe...but this recipe is muuuuuch better for you lol

Some stupid kid here at Bloomington High School South supposedly said he had plans to break the Sandy Hook record on the 21st. 

I think we should have him publicly flogged on the town square.

[Lynx]

Truvia is not Stevia.  Truvia is mostly erythritol.

Careful how you use that stuff.  A teaspoon is about the same as a cup of sugar. 

[Lynx]

Seth:  Set your rooster after him.  Put a little fear in the dude. 

[kkay]

I can have truvia on my diet though. You can use truvia or stevia and still be alright.

I'd put my weight on here if I was at my goal

[Lynx]

IT'S TOO QUIET IN HERE!!!

Bleh.  I'm only .5 of a week into this 2.5 week thing.  One can only run so many records before going crazy.  -er.

Someone post something.

[MelodyB]

Something.


In sharing news: last week I don't know if I shared, but pastor said we could have a fridge and stove from the fellowship hall. So that was moved and hooked up. The guys came and replaced the window that had been busted out a few weeks ago, and dad bought us a Diswasher on Friday, and me a new mattress on Saturday for my birthday. Today, the guys finished the windo and hooked up the dishwasher!! And they moved the chairs and stuff (that belong to the church) out of the front room so our apartment has more living space.

At this moment, one of the guys is switching the handles around on the fridge so it opens from the left instead of the right.

Things are coming together, the diswasher is humming and it sounds great!

Sandra: *HUG*

Mel: my cake batter fudge tastes good but has a weird consistency. as in you need to eat it with a spoon.

Tonight is the Christmas party for the smaller church in Damascus I go to. Brandon asked if he could go along with me. I think he'll really like Bro Moore and I know Bro Moore will insist on doing a bible study with him. So I see it as a win-win.

A cat got ahold of me at work. I just wanted to take him out of his carrier and weigh him. Vincent [the cat] them proceeded to latch onto my wrist with his front claws and take a chunk out of the back of my hand. He got a caution sticker put in his chart. Stupid cat.

In other news our driveway is now so bad due to the loggers and the rain that I can no longer get my car up the hill. I have to park down by the burn pile and hike up.

[Melody]

can you put it over something or dip stuff in it Heather? 

Will the loggers fix your driveway when they're done?


It amuses me up how much we agree on food, Isaac... lol

Nathan weighs about 250 just to make you guys feel better.  More than Jeremy, I'm sure.  I'm in trouble if we were in some crazy emergency where I had to carry or drag him... lol An angel better show up!

Dieting during the holidays is difficult but a strong person can do it!  Good for you, Kkay.  2yrs ago I had to go 3mo. w/o sugar, wheat, and dairy, from Oct. till the New Year.  It was harder than fasting by a LONG shot.

[Heather]

The loggers are supposed to grade it when their done but buying gravel to go over it is gonna break us.

Even with going to the gym I'm staying around the same weight I always am. I have lost a bit around the middle but I'm gaining more muscle in my arms/back and legs. I stay around the 155 mark. B weighs in at 235 last he told me.

[Lynx]

Maybe that's where my extra weight came from.  I started wearing toe shoes in April of last year, and since then my legs have reached the muscular level they were designed for (as opposed to the currently "normal" level of atrophy in those who wear shoes with thicker heels.) 

Yeah.  My extra weight is all muscle.
