and I thought Ive seen the most redneck truck around.. but I saw one that goes over the top...

typical raised body, big tires and exhaust pipe, huge trailer hitch...... and hanging on the trailer hitch were 2 bowling balls connected together with a chain....

If the paint job did not include at least three colors, at least one of which comes from a spray can, then it doesn't qualify.

Not at all! I'm so engaged by the tobacco flavors, I just never got around to it, though I did order some pina colada? type flavor I think it was, and I'm sure it was wonderful.

Okay, I had to look up something I've tried in the past and loved. WHITE LIE. Coconut and pear taste from the purity line. I loved it! I think I got burned out on it, because I vaped it so much. I raved about it on here when I first tried it. I've also put Cherry Bomb in my Legend before. I liked the Cherry Bomb, but not by itself. I also like to add Maple Eh? to Gaia and Huntsman, but that is another tobacco. I would like to try that orange and clove one in the future. I can't depend on what others say for that, unless they like the same flavors as me. You will notice that there are two groups usually on which flavors they like. Some people straddle the line, but most don't. I like the so called grassy vapes, and some do not. Gaia, Huntsman, and Maple Eh? are the 3 that come to my mind, plus I like Dark Horse as a flavor change. It is good by itself, and I think it is a mild vape. I can't venture out too far because of funds, but maybe now and then I can get a sample of something else. I have tried a clove vape before, but it was another company. I loved it alone, or mixed with something else. I don't have to change flavors nearly as much as I did at first, thank goodness for that. It is good to switch it up a little, I don't want to get burned out on any more flavors.

Hello everyone! Happy belated New Year.

Was a very busy holiday season. Took my oldest to NOLA for a week for her birthday. We hit it during a cold spell, but she still loved it and is thinking about Tulane. This is the one that barely had her stuff together to graduate HS. She’s been going to CC and if she can get into a university next year I will happily support that.

I also finally got a new car. Brand new. I got the Outback. I’m very happy with it, the Honda’s still in my driveway. I just can’t seem to part with it.

Hope everyone’s been healthy and well. Going to scroll back a few pages and try to catch up.

I know! It was strictly mother/daughter time. My whole week revolves around doing whatever she wanted to. Which included The Museum of Death. I got nauseous quite a bit. Thought I’d get a break and used the restroom. Even the restroom was decorated in horrible images. They did have a section on serial killers though and I liked that part. We also saw some cat Christmas show. Did all the usual touristy stuff. Walked thru the Rosevelt hotel a few times, ate a ton, even took in a game. My youngest is also looking at Tulane so I’ll just have to move there if that ends up happening.

Good Morning Army. Start Physical Therapy today. Maybe I will start moving towards working again...

Have a Safe and Blessed Day :)
What did you do to yourself? I must not have scrolled back far enough. Hope you aren’t hurting too badly.

Fell out of the sleeper berth, landed on the back of my neck.
Nothing, really. Didn't think much of it at all.
Until the next afternoon when my left hand went numb / loss of motor skills. Got to have my hand sin my line of work. That was Dec 5th/ 6th. Haven't worked since. Hand works again, but neck is still hurting.

Wow... I’m sorry to hear that. Has the time off been nice or have you been too sore to enjoy it? Hang in there and sending you speedy healing vibes .

Early Spring, 2017: Looked in the mirror and was disgusted with myself. I hit my all time water mark at 232 pounds. I carry extra weight pretty good but this was unacceptable!

Spring, 2017: Painted the house. Took 38 days of hard work. I lost 10 pounds and down to 222 pounds. A nice start.

Summer, 2017: Didn't lose any weight.

August 14, 2017: Re-dedicated myself to losing weight by walking more (3 miles a day) and watching my diet (cutting out the bad stuff, increasing the good stuff, and watching portions).

December 14, 2017: Hit my goal weight of 180 pounds. Lost another 42 pounds since I rededicated myself. Total weight loss since early Spring, 2017: 52 pounds.

Today: 179.6 pounds. Holding and maintaining goal weight for 3-1/2 weeks. No problem. Haven't been this light since 1980. Feel freaking great!! Probably look better too but then I don't have to look at me so I don't care so much about that part. The best part is feeling much better. Worst part is sleeping and sitting. I sleep on my side and stack my legs. Can't do that anymore cuz my knees are bone on bone and it hurts. Sleeping on my stomach now. Can't sit on hard chairs anymore either. My tail bone grinds into the seat. Myass is gone and there is no cushioning. I go out to dinner and rock side to side in my chair. People look at me like I have diaper rash. It's embarrassing. Seats with cushions from here on out.

180 pounds of rompin' stompin' dynamite!!!

Inspiration: My mom. Gone from this Earth but she lives in me forever. Thanks Mom! I know you'd tell me to be inspired by someone else but you're still it.

Goals: This is just one of several goals I have set for myself concerning my health, happiness, and well being. Others are in progress and others have not begun. I'm just getting started.

Advice:
None, other than find a source of inspiration.


Good morning Army! :)

Bronze, I am so proud of you! You did something many will not even attempt. You even managed to throw out some humor with it. I got down to a decent weight about two years ago, maybe more. People told me I was too skinny. My mom and my aunt said I went too far, and it made me look older. So I started eating more. Fat does hide some wrinkles. I had trouble with my feet, so that meant less walking around. I got a pair of shoes that did help with that, so the pain wasn't too bad, if I didn't push it. I don't even know what I weigh now, since I haven't been to the doctor in a good while. Life threw me a curve ball, so I have been just trying to hold it together. I do try to keep my mind active, and that is also important.

PT went well. She had a little machine she referred to as "traction" - gently grabs the back base of the skull and stretches the neck vertebrae. Felt great, for about two minutes, then it started hurting again. I think gradually stretching out the vertebrae might be the way to go.
