what does your doctor have to say?
never mind, i shouldn't be so personal.

I generally avoid doctors on principle, unless I am really and truly sick - which has only happened once in the last decade.
If it's any consolation, I regained 3 pounds since yesterday! 

(My body weight can fluctuate by as much as 5 pounds in 24 hours, and always has - at least, since I started weighing myself a decade ago.)

Be careful about avoiding doctors.  I didn't get treated for pneumonia till i almost died.  Also some things can be cured only if they get caught early.

Indy, remember the story about my bosses Father In Law losing his leg because he didn't go to the doctor.

indi, i was at death's door before i saw a doctor for the pain i was living with, between malnutrition and dehydration and my other organs being strangled by the growth in my torso. i will deal with nerve damage for the rest of my life because of my stupidity, and pretty much constant low level pain.
  some times it gets bad, and inflammation sets in, at that point, i'm incapacitated for days. and it STARTED with weight loss that was a weird pattern. and a stupid diet. PLEASE talk to a real doctor.

Puppy-Monkey-Baby still lives in my nightmares.

I appreciate your concern, really I do - but I feel great most of the time and don't have any strange swellings, black spots, or any other symptoms of illness.  And the Whole30 diet is recommended by a number of doctors and nutritionists.
(And, if it's any comfort, I think I packed on several of those lost pounds this weekend - stupid seafood buffets!!)

Indy- I'm on a diet of sandwhiches and cereal (with fruit in it like blueberries or blackberries from the backyard) during the summer. I cook on the grill when my kids come over on the weekend, but I don't eat what I cook. I really am trying to lose weight. I know when winter comes I will eat like a pig.  

I'm almost 150 pounds. I gotta get back to 135.

[indianasmith]

I threw dietary caution to the winds over the weekend and ate way too much seafood and put about 4 pounds back on.
Back to the simple veggies and meats now!

The house is so quiet as I sit here this morning. Not just quiet: still. Even the drips from the eastbound rain showers have ceased and now a terrible silence holds court where there should be defiance born of motion. The thing that the noise of living holds at bay emerges at last, not seen or heard, but discerned. Children bring relevance to life. They bring life to life. I think if I had to live alone like this with everyone away I would decline. So easy to break me, after all. How did they miss it when they were figuring me out? What a cheap key that unbinds that which secures my happiness. All that was tried, so much of it, and this is all that was ever required? Almost funny, isn't it? Yell in my face, I don't mind, confine me, I wait, yet remove what I love, and I fold. Another six days of this isolation? No wonder I find myself not wanting to be in this house. Every day but this one I will be keeping busy, even flying out of town for work, but today looms like a canyon separating me the better things that lie in the distance, sitting me face to face with my solitude until this silence grows terrifying, binding me to stillness like a cornered mouse afraid to run. What in the abstract seemed an almost welcome break, this week alone, becomes something else entirely upon its arrival, and this solitude I'd envisioned as reprieve is revealed to be a poison to contentment.

Sitting here drinking too-expensive green tea with my buddy at my favorite/least favorite Starbucks, she's been on her phone too long but it is with her kid, so oh well, hush my complaining mouth, and our conversation has gone from trying to figure out why neither of us has ever met a single mean Mormon in our lives, to trying to figure out what her alignment would be if she were a living, breathing real world D&D character. Mine I think has pretty well stayed pegged at chaotic good, like, always, but to my surprise I see her fitting less into the mold of straight-up lawful good and sliding in just this side of neutral good, so we're going with that. Clare the Neutral Good! As for character class, well, for myself I lean personally toward a druidical bent, screw their supposed true neutrality (sense the "chaotic" in me now?) while she...boy that's tough, uh...I think she'd be some wench in a town instead of an adventurer but just maybe she'd be like....some sort of acrobat? Yeah she'd be that though

Okay she's done tawkkin! Fabersham, y'all?!

I drove by my old Toys R us day. 

It was depressing seeing the place so empty and devoid of life.  No cars in the packing lot.  No signs in the windows.  The city had even came and took away our old dumpster. 

And I don't know who eventually came and got the bales of cardboard we left outback. 

So... I've been sad since then.  I didn't realize how much I missed the place.

I feel for you,  csm. So many places I liked have died.  Radio shack,  b. Dalton,  circus world,  kaybee,  it just goes on...

I don't know what type of dream is worse: me having suicide dreams, or me having dreams where I feel much worse about myself.

What is the opposite of quantitative easing, and why aren't we doing whatever the hell it is to make money worth more?
