I’m not sure how long it took me. I’d have to look back on my earlier posts and I don’t have time tonight. I know the outfit I wore to my mother’s memorial service was an 18W. I always thought the “W” stood for “women’s” but a clerk in the store said it was an [...]

Three strikes and you ARE out!
January 30, 2008
Last night brought the third attack since merm transferred me and my domain to a server that was supposed to be better than the last. On top of it taking a LONG time to restore everything, he decided he’d had enough. Looking around, he chose a new provider and now their server has crashed! Soon [...]
“I don’t know where my parents are…”
January 29, 2008
Her eyes were filling with tears and she looked as though the dam would burst any second. I didn’t know what to say so I started to pray silently. If she had been a small child, it would have been easy but she is a once-proper lady in her 80s. I started talking and told [...]
Garlic Lemonade
January 28, 2008
Anyone who has been reading my blog knows that I have been regularly (more or less) drinking garlic lemonade. The way my niece told me to make it is different from what I do now. She said to crush a clove of garlic into 8 ozzies boiling water, add honey to taste, and the juice [...]
“You’ve reached your goal weight…”
January 27, 2008
That’s what one of the women at work said the other day. She followed that with, “You can start eating cooked food again, right?” Well, yes, I could. I didn’t tell her I hadn’t reached my so-called goal weight. Instead of answering her question, I asked one of my own, “Why should I?” “We-ellllllll, I [...]
Fatter or fitter?
January 26, 2008
I’ll start out with my Challenge Report this time. Bedtime was 9:02 so that goal was met and exceeded. Since it was Sabbath, I didn’t exercise. Exercise goal N/A. Fat consumption, through the roof. That one bombed. And after I weighed in at 118.4 this morning.
Day 13 Raw Food
34 ozzies grapefruit juice

Oops! That was a big mistake!
January 25, 2008
Tomorrow is fellowship dinner day or, as my brother-in-law would say, pot-gut. I had planned to take the raw crackers I’d bought on my first trip to the new location of the organic market but I just checked the “use by” date and it’s farther off than I thought. In anticipation of that, though, I [...]
Did Edison do us a favor?
January 24, 2008
This isn’t new with me. I’ve wondered about it for years. We stay up too late. We have labor-saving devices that create more work. We don’t have to do anything but flip a switch to have light, turn a dial to heat the joint, or push buttons to wash our clothes, cook our food, or [...]
What?! No hair dryer?!! You gotta be kidding!
January 23, 2008
That’s right, people. Hair dryer has to go, too. Mine is probably worse than most, anyway, because it’s old as the hills. It may be that the newer ones are made with EMFs and strange females like me in mind. I did another of my experiments this morning and let my hair air dry. The [...]
This isn’t the way it was supposed to happen.
January 22, 2008
We had freezing rain here this morning. I got ready and went out to the car. By that time the rain was beginning to freeze on the steps but I managed to get down them without slipping. The car was a different story. It was covered with a layer of ice so I started [...]
