Wondering
A comment I’ve been wondering about for weeks, from “Rich Man Seeking BBW”, in response to a post on bra shopping: has any women have any lingerie like too sell $200 dollars So…he’s budgeted $200 for lingerie? Or he’s willing to pay $200 for lingerie that someone’s worn, which, um, not my thing but not hurting anyone either? How does this combine with his handle? “I’ll drop…

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] 1) Able to slowly and gently dance around the living room this week :) 2) Life expectancy keeps going up. 3) Enjoyable walk today despite the sometimes-rain sometimes-drizzle. (I picked a shopping area, so I could spend a lot of time inside or under eaves.) 4) How cleaning my bedroom and CPAP mask/hose can make me feel so much better when I…

Oh, Michelle
Michelle at Fat Nutritionist wrote a terrific post today skewering the typical “Holiday Eating” articles. She also, fatally, mentioned both Maggie May* and Michelle. So of course this popped into my brain**: Like many songs, it has a story behind it. Unlike many songs, I actually have heard the story behind this one at a concert. Seanan McGuire (singer/songwriter/blonde) was chatting with Michelle Dockrey (also…

Drink Coffee, Avoid Diabetes?
This was one headline I was grateful to read this morning. For one thing, the laugh was very welcome! Coffee, Tea Might Stave Off Diabetes More Evidence Coffee, Tea Could Prevent Diabetes From the abstract, this looks to be a review-lots-of-observational-studies study, looking at correlations. The general result? People who drink more coffee, decaf coffee, or tea* had “an inverse relationship” with people who get diabetes. Naturally,…

[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] 1) Getting a bonus at work this year :) 2) Laughing at this post from Men-in-Full. “Someplace happier” indeed. 3) Being able to get around without the cane most of the time. 4) Nifty lycra-spandex leggings. They’re not just comfy for exercise, they also make great long underwear! 5) The man of the house, who brought me dinner tonight :)

…and believe me I am still alive
Still here, still working, still good. Still seeing incremental improvements to my knee. Just not updating much :) I have been using a cane. This is both good and bad. Good in that the cane helps my balance when my knee decides to not support me. Bad in that it always takes a hand. You know how you never know how much you use both hands to…

Slim-Fast Drink Recall
If you have any canned Slim-Fast drinks hidden in the back of the cupboard, you might want to toss them out. From Slim-Fast: The products are packaged in paperboard cartons and contain four, six or 12 steel cans that are 11 FL OZ (325 mL) each. Individual cans are also sold in certain retail outlets. The recall involves all Slim-Fast® RTD products in cans, regardless of flavor,…

Oprah Online: Article on fat acceptance
The Oprah magazine article I posted about earlier, by (mother) Robin Marantz Henig and (daughter) Jess Zimmerman, is online now. So far the comments are good too, but there’s only two of them, so I’d be cautious anyway.
