I can honestly say I've never seen a truck bed filled with fish.
Here in the south, we see lots of stupid stuff in truck beds, but fish...definitely different.
Mike & m...I drink, maybe, twice a year. I have zero tolerance; it's embarrassing.
Mern, good to hear from you. Hope you get your R&R in on Tuesday; so much fun you are! I filled the day off with doctor and dentist appointments

Darlene, I get the spring salad, I don't get why people don't like it though. Your parents trip sounds fun!
April hope you are feeling better. Take Cassie's advice on the sleeping and drinking.
Mhibdon, change it manually to 1.66, trust me that one centimeter will mean at least a pound
And you need to take care of yourself, looks like you haven't gotten over your flu. Sleep sleep sleep.
Quinn, you are back on track now. I was recently thinking about how hard it must be for alcoholics, for example, to NEVER have another drink again, if weight loss is a struggle I cannot even imagine how hard it is to control an addiction like that. Stay strong.
Almeeker, that program sounds great! And how they keep track over the years, very cool.
Mike, that is a lot of fish, and that truck is good, it can carry almost a ton! Impressed.
Hope, my best wishes for you doctor appointment tomorrow.
Mern, glad to hear your BIL is getting better and that you will soon get to enjoy some time to relax.
Cassie, good to have you back!

I love learning, but I think I'm going to have to start enforcing "Nap Time" to help my body cope with the stress, haha.

5. Exercise 5 hours. 0 min, 45 min, 65 min (total 1:50)
Other Stuff

Yesterday went pretty well for diet and exercise, Wed was so bad that I wasn't even hungry, much anyway. Didn't manage to get anything done though, it was one of those days filled with one long phone call after another. A friend of mine is putting on a book fair next week and she has to decorate the entire gym out of her own pocket (so a gum wrapper, 26 cents and some lint). That's where wheat paste, old newspapers and the dollar store come in eh? Right up my alley, so I may have to assist in the creation of a new solar system over the weekend. Oy, the things I get myself into. She helps me out with scouts, so I owe her big time.
Mern, glad to hear that BIL is doing better. I love the idea of your taking the grand kids to a park for a picnic. It's gotten too chilly around here for that, so I'll want lots of details if you go.
Mike, I actually have seen a truck bed full of fish before, although I have to say when I have it wasn't all the same kind and it didn't look so yummy. Around here the bigger morons occasionally fish with dynamite, which kills everything, so it's not just fish but frogs and turtles as well. Yes, I have to agree with Darlene, it's making me hungry for home fries and almond crust too.
Quinn, I totally agree that it's a lot harder to "quit" something than it is to stand on the outside and tell someone else to quit. I struggle with that myself, even though I know exactly how hard it is. I have a couple of relatives that are super-sized humans, seriously 3-4x what they should weigh. It kills me a little every time they talk about getting healthier, because I know it's possible and they are capable of doing it, but I suspect there is a bit of untreated depression going on and they can't keep themselves up on the wagon for more than a few days/weeks at a time. Luckily enough all of the serious alcoholics in my family are sober as far as I know. My condolences on the loss of your brother. I'm glad you've been able to reach a point where you understood his situation better and have forgiven him in your heart. I can understand some of your feelings on that issue, the "drinker" gene is very prevalent in my family, and there have been times there cause to be very concerned about one family member or another. Everyone has their cross to bare, some are just heavier than others.
