a great practical joke for summer time:

take off the sheets on the victim's bed and stretch saran wrap tightly across the matress from the shoulder to knee area. sprinkle powdered sugar liberally and evenly across the plastic wrap. Put the fitted sheet back on securely and make sure there are no lumps. Remake the rest of the bed.

at night, body heat melts the sugar, which soaks up through the fitted sheet. the victim wakes up looking like a crusty glazed donut.

See, now THAT would be funny. His were lame. The one I remember was some guy at work spilled something and vacuumed it up. So he got the janitor to go over and tell the guy he's not allowed to vacuum and that if he did it again, he'd report him to the union.

...and before that the container filled with Cool Whip. Hmmm... Yeah, so, the union janitor joke was pretty lame, but you have to admit that this one--where he keeps messing with your food and making you think you're losing it--is pretty damn funny so far!!

:bravo:

Ms. Alex, I think the label "victim" depends entirely on your perspective. Personally, I'd be hard pressed to call that person a victim. In fact...I think I'm gonna' try this, thanks for the recipe! (My husband is a cop, you know! Cops-donuts, wink, wink! :tongue:

just remember that you gotta have heat to make it work, and the heat leads to a sticky mess that gets everywhere. take that as you will.

another great prank if you live somewhere really hot is saran wrapping a whole car. be sure to go heavy around door handles. a couple hours in triple-digits, and you've got a shrink-wrapped honda.

Oh, Sojo, I would be so happy if it WERE him messing with my food containers!!

Wow. This is the hungriest day I've had in ... probably a year and a half. I don't know if it's the Chinese food last night or having to be up so early this morning or what.

But I had my usual Egg Beaters in the morning. Then I was starving a few hours later and had yogurt. Then I was REALLY starving a couple of hours after that, and I had a couple of low-carb tortillas with some of the chicken that was supposed to be dinner last night and a smidge of low-fat Cheddar. Then I was STILL hungry and had two more. Sigh. So I decided to have small meals the rest of the day instead of my usual dinner, except I'm starving AGAIN so I don't think that's going to work.

Do you still drink tons of water ?

DogMa · by **DogMa** » January 16th, 2007, 5:22 pm

Yep. I've had extra today, but I'm still hungry. My co-worker said maybe it's the weather. Apparently everyone else is hungry today, too. I'm just going with it for a day.

I think I've been eating fewer calories lately since I stopped counting, so maybe that's it.

hee hee... I assume you mean colder weather. Pre-MF I noticed a definite pattern in my eating and thus decided I must have been in a bear in a former life :mrgreen:

, because everytime the weather would change in the fall and then in the winter, I had this desire to turn inward and eat more than ever. I genuinely felt hungrier, too (at least I thought I did). I think the colder weather actually makes us work harder to exist and maybe we actually do get hungrier because of that.

Thanks for your thoughts, I always enjoy reading them even though I don't comment super often

Just popping in while I have a minute. Things are going well with my uncle, although my eating's a little kerflooey. I did get on his old treadmill and run last night, though, and I've been walking the dog a couple of times a day up and down hills.

One huge NSV for me today, though. His nurse was here to change his bandage and check on him. She comes every day, and commented that every time she comes, I'm eating something. And she asked, "How do you eat all the time and stay so thin??" I haven't stopped grinning.

Anyway, gotta go. I'm in charge of cooking while I'm here because my uncle has decided my aunt doesn't do it right. Sigh. The woman's a saint to put up with him sometimes.

Ugh. Tonight we had to call 911 and he was taken to the ER by ambulance. They thought he might be having a heart attack, but now his doc thinks it was just more gastro problems. So we were there till after 1 a.m. Needless to say, no run. And no meals past dinner, either.

DogMa · by **DogMa** » January 21st, 2007, 4:25 pm

And it just keeps getting better. Today he got up and started throwing up like crazy. So now he's on anti-nausea meds and has a Foley catheter in, and started out with a tablespoon of water every 15 minutes. He's worked up to half a cup every half hour, but he's already getting a little sick again.

So I'm not taking my flight home tomorrow morning. I'm not sure WHEN I'm going home, but I'll talk to the pet sitter and my cousin and see how things go. I'm also kinda thinking I'm not going to make it home in time for the All-Star thing with jdate guy. Sigh.

Anyway, hope everyone else is doing better. I'm watching what I eat somewhat, but not all THAT carefully. I haven't had anything horrible, though, even though there are cookies and ice cream EVERYwhere here. The most I've had is stuff like a little bit of roasted potato and food cooked with a little more olive oil than I'd normally use.

petladyinRI · by **petladyinRI** » January 21st, 2007, 6:19 pm

Aw Robin sorry things are working out this way. But your willpower in the face of cookies and ice cream is a good example for me to take to Vegas tomorrow. (Pet sitter's convention). Lemme tell you what does NOT stay in Vegas: the extra calories that will be only too happy to hitch a ride home with me. On my butt.

I know your uncle must really appreciate your being there like this, even though he may feel too sick to make much of it right now. And, if jdate is any kind of mensch at all, he will only think better of you for being so good to your dogs and to your family when they need you.
Hugs,
