Thanks for my 100 day Medifasticelebration, Nancy. Can I throw in a little "self-doubting" on my list, lol? You KNOW I have been that, too. And I thank you and all others for sometimes tickling me out of that decrepit place, which might be the dark hole of fat-returns.

Yes, Berkshiregrl, there really is a SO who would rather switch than fight, i.e. who would rather not pay for another pair of Target pants in case these size 4s get big -- which I have a feeling isn't going to be any threat -- in order to save a little $$. Mixing analogies, of course, Virginia/Santa Clause with that old Tarreyton cigarette commercial. He isn't bipolar, he's bi-pocket. Does not want a cash leak. Still, it's annoying to get feedback like that about money. He maintains that I could've done "the same thing" drinking just fruit juices and saved that money, too -- as if THAT would ever happen OR I'd have survived it feeling so well/healthy.

All things considered, I really have learned to consider the source most of the time, like fedup said about separating the person and the behavior. I could be wrong, but it just seems like some people do not make/enact the same behavioral equations in the communications between their heads/mouth that I was taught to consider, and sometimes I think they also aren't inclined to be introspective or empathetic. Things will work out OK. I am a kind of piece of work myself -- always in training.

That's a mouthful! I agree...

We are all "in training" up till the big day we stop breathing Some might just need a few reincarnations to get the job done

Thanks, guys. I enjoy thinking & playing with words, as you can see. I'm much better at it in written communications than in verbal ones. I'd just sit like a girl with a sock in her mouth if we were in the same room, lol. I kind of hate to move my mouth when I talk, which really cuts down on how much I can say, isn't that hilarious?? I think it's from having had braces. That little laugh made me feel much better! Take care, and you're right, Berkshiregrl, we ARE in training forever and isn't it grand that that's the case? I need lots more practice. Maybe food/foodiness kept me too busy over the years as a hobby/diversion.
