One more kilo
Including the standard daily wobble, I’m losing roughly a kilo a week. That’s progress of a sort. I did have an alarming jump of more than a kilo upwards, but I’m back down again.
Not by the kilo and a bit I gained, of course.
Weight is easier to gain than drop. Everyone should know that.
The slow diet is working. Exercise, chia and determination help.
Of course, since I am being good at my diet,

I hate wasting time.
Lots of things that need to get done depend highly on other people doing them. Because I lack the skills, the knowledge, the money or the resources to do it myself. So I end up sitting around waiting for other people to get the thumb out of their collective butts.
Time bleeds away. Hour by hour.
I’ve organized and packed the kids’ bags so they’re ready for school. I’ve matched and

Something needs to be done about this ASAP. If not earlier.

Sir Terry Pratchett argued convincingly that everything must have it’s opposite. Not just the light-dark opposite, but the opposite that goes through the conventional, traditional opposite and out the other side.
We have progress. What I’m having is a kind of anti-progress that has gone through retention and out the other side.
I am getting fit enough to take the dog around two blocks -yay- BUT, on the anti-progress side, I’ve been struck from asthma as

I’ve been cleaning my house, lately [it’s mostly OK now BTW] and in the process, I have been doing absolute shittons of laundry. Y'know, mostly because there were drifts of dirty clothes in there that were a foot deep.
I had been doing a load a day, but thanks to my unsister, Powerhouse, I’ve been going through load after load after load. And putting it all on the clothesline to benefit from the absolutely vicious summer

Read more »Bank of America Gets Foreclosed
Bank of America has little patience for homeowners who have fallen on hard times and behind on their mortgages. The lending giant is in the midst of foreclosure battles in every state as well as defending against allegations that they engaged in fraud and misrepresentation during the foreclosure process.
Given all the increased scrutiny you would think the bank would be extra diligent before pursuing homeowners in court. Think again.
First the mega-bank wrongfully foreclosed on
Quick diets and why they fail
I’m more aware of them, now that I’m trying to lose weight. The advertisements. The shill proclaiming their new product and ONLY their product will help you reach your target weight and stay there.
It’s all bullshit.
Especially the ones where they claim you -yes, you!- can drop an extravagant number of pounds/kilos in an amazingly short time.
What they never tell you is that you -yes, you!- inevitably yo-yo back up again

Heyhey, it's Morlock from the old Nutboard *hugs* I've been following your tumblr - I hope things go better for you. Most of my fond...
Hey hey! Glad you found me. Any other Nutboarders out there?
I promise as soon as I have the time/wherewithal I shall have my old board back up. Real soon now. Honest.
In the meantime, I have this. Hooray.

First, before anything: if you had bailed out the homeowners and not the banks, you would not be in your present pickle. There would likely not be throngs protesting in the streets, right now. There would not be thousands deriding you for following the whims of your owners campaign contributors instead of actually fulfilling so much as one campaign promise.
Secondly: If you continue to allow yourself to be bought by psychopathic corporations instead of concerning yourself with the interests of the

Take good from the bad
The dog got out of the yard. I don’t know how. What I do know is that when I discovered the resultant mess, Chaos was out of the yard chatting with the Neighbour Who Loves to Complain™ and both Mayhem and the hound were nowhere to be seen.
I got Tessa inside and at least got a direction to look out of him. That was almost all the helpful he was. Only after I’d gone running up

I started this year at 95.4kg, just a few small kilos away from 100kg. I made a resolution to lose weight and get fitter, so immediately I went out and stuffed myself for the annual new years’ rello visit.
Hubby didn’t help, either. Next night, he took me out to Sizzler’s.
Today [the 5th of Jan] is the day where I finally dipped below my starting weight. I’m now 95.2kg. You might not

So I just had one of those brain farts that can only cause trouble and decided to share. I’m that special ;)
Start a kickstarter project in the US to buy the next president.
Obviously, it has to be long term. Like 2016 type long term. Y'know, since this year is leaving it a little too late to fund a president.
The whole goal is to bring back a government by the people, for the people and of the people by
