I find that living positively has become more of a benefit to me than thinking positively, and so I move on.



lose weight (read all 3 entries…)
Frustration defined

(posted with minor differences to my LiveJournal)

Attending a weight loss support group...and finding out you’re too big for their scale.

A workaround has been established – as I believe I’ve mentioned previously in my journal, there are scales in the bathrooms at the local mall that are rated for 500lb / 227kg / 37 stone (I ♥ Google Calculator), and as long as I go within a day or so of the meeting, it’ll count as my “official” weight – but it was still annoying.

In happier, related news, Mom and I returned to the same TOPS chapter we belonged to 25 years ago…and there was still someone there who remembered us.



type with 10 fingers
If I'd only known....

The high school I went to frosh/soph years had a typing requirement. You could either take the basic year-long Typing I class (available to all students), or the semester-long Personal Typing (available to upperclassmen only). My mother insisted I take Typing I in my freshman year, despite my pleas to use that time for another elective (ANY other elective).

Had I but known that Usenet and the Web were in my future, I never would have complained….
