Changing my description, sigh

BN, okay, I'm sold, that looks too genuine not to be true. Rush me your price list and we can haggle

Changing my description, sigh

Nam, the scale and I stopped speaking when it started lying to me. Now I listen only to my clothes and when they are sounded strained, I have to eat less for a while

Changing my description, sigh

Bekard, high-protein diet is definitely effective but eish, expensive to keep to. I lost a lot of weight some years ago and it always comes down to eating better, and eating less. But the snacks here are so yummy

Fashion, pah! Wear what makes you feel good is what counts

Changing my description, sigh

Lou, that's entirely true, Simmo was definitely built on generous lines. There are all sorts of nice definitions for bigger men and no-one minds a man being well upholstered anyway but I think I'd get odd looks (and odder messages) if I went for something like husky.

Changing my description, sigh

Eek Molly Big and Beautiful is over 300 lbs or 21 stone, have a heart!!

Can I go for 20% Overweight With A Friendly Smile instead?

Changing my description, sigh

Bn so long as it doesn't interfere with the next phase of work, I could definitely be interested. I'll need testimonials from satisfied slenderised customers, and I'll be frank up front and say if you are ower heavy on the pricing, I can't afford you even if half of the models in Spain enthusiastically endorse you

Changing my description, sigh

Nam, if you weigh 217 pounds, yup. About right?

I have never known why the Brits weigh in stones. In SA we were metric, so I was used to kgs, then I switched to stones and now that's become familiar and frankly in pounds it is more than I find comfortable

Changing my description, sigh

Molly, hard physical labour is back on the agenda from I think next week. And the hot weather should help, so long as I don't give in to the tempations of icecream as a cooldown

I shall also buy myself fans, and dance

Changing my description, sigh

Red it was the hottest day I think so far this year, lovely day for an outing.

I know which activity works the quickest magic for me but it's a vicious circle, you know - when I feel like a lump I haven't got the confidence for a workout partner who would make me into less of a lump

Changing my description, sigh

Z you are a model of discretion and also quite accurate, it IS lovely weather for the time of year

Changing my description, sigh

Ish, that's what I told myself, tall takes up space anyway so people won't be so quick to notice I take up sideways space as well. But my clothes are getting snug and I can't afford a new wardrobe so the pressure is on to whittle myself back into comfort

Ta re the hat - it is the seagrass version of the black one, you know when I ordered it? for the meet in March 2016. It didn't arrive in time which is how you all got treated to the tatty black

Changing my description, sigh

Hey, Lafonda definitely sedentary lifestyle, you know you've spent too much time at the computer when the arms that hold you closest are on your desk chair

About to start next brief stage of renovations and repairs, with any luck lifting boxes of patio tiles and 20kg bags of tile adhesive will have me back to a washboard tummy and bulging biceps in no time, very seductive

RE: A Tribute to my Mom ~ on my birthday

Brave mom and lovely tribute.

In the country of my birth you'd be called a laat lammetjie - a late lamb. In the country of my adoption you'd have been called an autumn crocus and I don't know enough Spanish to know what you'd be called here. Children borne late in life can have great advantages but there's one huge disadvantage, and as a laat lammetjie myself I know it too - we don't have as long with our mothers

RE: Giving up

Not so much given up as serenely waiting for the universe to send Mr Right to knock on the door, flowers in hand. Hey, empty-handed would be okay too. Showing any interest in any man seems to scare them off so I will just nod and walk away, he can follow me inside or not. Do you think putting down a saucer of milk would be too alarming?

BTW I have finally worked out why old blogs pop up with new comments I was reading a blog, saw this below it as a suggested one, didn't see it first time round ...

RE: 58 National Security Officials Debunk Trump's fake border crisis.

There's probably never been any national leader in history who declared a state of emergency as a way of throwing toys out of his cot.

The scariest part is not that he is a grandstander and wanna-be Supreme Ruler, it is the number of people who placidly re-define the word 'emergency' and nod along.

RE: The Methodist tradition.

Methodists are nothing to do with El Papa. That was established quite a while ago and caused much fuss at the time.

RE: Service Animals 2

On CS you can reply twice to every comment to push your comments up, or reply individually to multiple comments on one post to avoid the criticism of pushing comments up, or to wind an older blog down

Or not care either way ...

Not replying to comments does tend to mean fewer will bother to leave any, since many of us are looking for mild banter and to make a chatty comment to someone and be ignored is, as in real life, a bit discouraging. It implies 'please don't speak to me, rather sit at my feet and listen'.



So those in search of chat go to chattier OPs

JMO, btw.

RE: Let me introduce you

It looks great, Ish, and I had completely missed your previous blog

RE: Biff the bewildered water buffalo

Bewildered - well, one of us is. Water buffalo (heading) or Cape buffalo (content)?

"A buffalo is either a Cape Buffalo Syncerus (Africa), or Water Buffalo Bubalus (South Asia)," .

If I could have the choice I'll go for the Cape buffalo please. It's from Africa so I think that strengthens my claim. And it is WAYYYY meaner

Or perhaps you meant bewildered because you send me private messages cosily trashing anyone I am at odds with, while publicly skipping through the sewers with them?

No, that doesn't bewilder me. You are what you are.

RE: Some Awesome Ways Drones Are Being Used Today

Luke, that's a SCARY price you must be looking at quite high specs I know drones carrying small cameras can be bought on line for under, hmm, converting in my head, under R5000, certainly well under R10K

Spain is quite restrictive about flying areas but anyone who owned a place in the countryside and offered enthusiasts the chance to perfect their flying skills - it takes time and space! - would be extremely popular.

RE: When I’m 64

My current guests are in their 70s and their energy, stylishness and enthusiasm puts me to shame. My half-sisters ditto. I am therefore looking forward to the rush of energy, style and enthusiastic vitality which has so far escaped me but obviously kicks in later

In the spirit of the blog, an important thing to take up on your 64th is to remember to say 'oooof' every time you sit down and 'urrrghh' as you struggle back to your feet even if you have no actual difficulties getting up and down.

RE: I read your blogs...

I read the blogs of perhaps a dozen people. I am generally only visiting for as long as it takes to drink a cup of coffee, so it is a case of glancing down the list to see which ones are likely to go best with coffee - you know, not too bitter, not too sweet ...

Sometimes I have nearly finished the mug before I see one that qualifies

RE: Funny Turn

It was very enlightening. Wow.

There are meds, and you will thank me if you take them. Good luck. I am truly sorry I ruined your life in that early blog.

RE: Blogging couples...

Do you mean acid attack in aisle 3? Get a grip. The acid was thrown by the creature from the swamp lagoon. I said aisle 3 because it rhymes with her name.

RE: Blogging couples...

Crest join the queue to attack me.

Which blog did I snipe at you from? It's late and I don't remember.

RE: Blogging couples...

Titch! yayyyyyyyyyyyy!

RE: Funny Turn

How does it work, though? Do we all gather at the perfume department and undo the top 3 buttons surreptitiously to show we're ready to take part? And - top 3 buttons of what? Blouses? Jeans? Too embarrassing if we tried to include someone who really only wanted to discuss her husband's vasectomy.

RE: Blogging couples...

Or, or, there are some people who use coffee breaks to glance at the blogs, and FB, and Twitter, and all their other outlets, and occasionally see a post or comment they'd like to respond to, (on Twitter or FB or CS) and their comment (using CS as an example) pops the blog near the top and other glancers spot it, and read the blog and comment, and - vicious circle, really.

I'd love to be in a fun clique. If I say 'great blog' will that get me into a clique? Then they'll all rush to comment because I did, and that would be so cool. Because right now as often as not I'm a blog ender - sooooooo many blogs die when I show up, or just ignore me altogether

I want to be in a clique

Perfect match - but which one?

Usha - so, closest to the C

I found this on FB today. Seems to be a fairly good D, anyway, couldn't resist

Avoiding the troll blog

Crest - I argue a lot because I have a big mouth and too much time on my hands, but I have only picked up the troll stick three times in my time here, and both previous times I took flak for being a cow before the troll was goaded by enough of us into exposing itself beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Call it a difference in style, if you like, you jab in all directions, sometimes without naming names so that everyone feels obscurely guilty and examines their consciences
