Funny how cold spaghetti in a can tastes OK when there is nothing else on offer. Too bad I didn't have any mushrooms or capsicum to offer them, just to see if they'd eat it in abundance.<br /><br />Luckily for us, but sadly for my waistline, we were only affected by Yasi for just over 24 hours.<br /><br />Glad to hear you have your power back on again, Joe.Shelly - Tropical Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464868349672755774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-87777681887295462052012-11-11T19:43:24.323-05:002012-11-11T19:43:24.323-05:00'grats on quitting smoking.

Maybe your body was in shock and tried to store fat. That's what my trainer at the gym said when I was upset that I hadn't lost weight, despite exercising and cutting calories -- I'd cut way too many calories.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729910232551290015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-85403804879376486302012-11-11T18:52:47.372-05:002012-11-11T18:52:47.372-05:00Funny how there is almost always a silver lining i...Funny how there is almost always a silver lining if we look hard enough.

So happy ten more birthdays to you! :)<br /><br />I didn't know you lived in the area where Sandy hit! I have been trying to find out HOW to help in some say or send something there or do SOMETHING and I am not sure how to go about it (other than go through the bigger organizations and I wasn't sure how effective those were really).<br /><br />Glad to hear you have power again and way to go on the weight loss although that is a crummy way to have to go about it! Maybe if you go around helping bail others' basements out, your weight loss will continue. <br /><br />Anyway, let me know if there's a way I can help from my neck of the woods!CLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207164054349835246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-9322814211215544252012-11-11T08:54:24.883-05:002012-11-11T08:54:24.883-05:00Seems a little drastic, but yeah, I guess that wou...Seems a little drastic, but yeah, I guess that would work. I quit smoking about 34 years ago and figure I've saved about $6.7 million dollars. (Where'd it go?)<br /><br />I'm sure you'll think of some other way to lose those last 9 pounds short of surviving a storm that destroys half the country. Good luck!<br /><br />S<br /><br />Lowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.com
