Half a generation older than you, but Led Zeppelin ROCKED!!!!  Traffic was a go to get high band!

Older than dirt here. I saw the Beatles live in concert.

Zeppelin does rock. And I loved Traffic. I listened to The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys today while organixing the freezer.

[Hellga]

Still nowhere close to her goal, but she is picking up the pace of her weight loss...

[Chicklet]

You guys are going to make me have nightmares about my Astronomy class which was calculus based, and made me sweat and have panic attacks. And still have dreams about since 1995.

[Splashes]

Im just glad we have someone that at least has some idea how to season foods.

[Callaphera]

Yes, Megan. Be sure to take the flip flops off when you get on the scale - that shaved off a whole 0.3 pounds or less, I'm sure. 

[babyhouseman]

OK. I'm back. I watched Modern Family. There was a Dirty Dancing reference which did my babyhouseman heart good. 

Sodium is the word of the day.

Not gonna lie though I could really go for some good wings right now. I cant wait to go get some good spicy wings when this is over. Or a good curry.

I'm going out for sushi when this is all over.  At least you can do wings or curry as takeout.  I feel like takeout sushi is risky.

I still have my Dual turntable, Boston Acoustics speakers, and Pioneer receiver and CD changer. I'm old school

 

I downsized.  Everything high fidelity found a good home!  

 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Girl, those thin ass sandals aren’t going to add that much extra weight to the scale!

Funny that they are advertising Bounty. That’s as hard to find as toilet paper.

Stuffs closed unfortunately. Also if you take out wings they lose their crispyness.

[ShoePrincess]

Note to Megan and mom ...

Bacon is not the best protein choice.

 

[ams1001]

Now she's up to 12 medications?!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Say what now??! It’s 12 medications!

The Earth's crust was cooling when I was born because I remember the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show!  

[Callaphera]

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay."

The neck mole is making itself known.  A sign of weight loss!

 

[Callaphera]

"Right."

...holy shit, she changed it up, y'all, I - 

"Okay."

FML. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Month 9 521 (total loss 84).    There is no way in hell she's going to lose another 30 lbs.    I can't believe she's on 12 medications, at her age.

I did, too, until he put out the single "Roll With It!"

It's actually a great song to drive to!  

And that voice ...

 

[peaceknit]

Did he say that she was a MRSA carrier?

[Splashes]

I think my most nightmare class was probably the first half of modern physics or electro-optical engineering. Those were really rough classes and I did not understand the math. 

[CringeWatcher]

Just made it to the first doc visit, and I have questions. 

1. Are there really very many people in their 40s and 50s who take 8 different prescriptions??? I take anxiety medication, that’s it. My mom is 70 and has zero prescriptions. Nada. No offense to anyone with actual health problems, but c’mon Dr N, it’s not like we all go to crap after 35.

2. Why is Megan so glib?

3. Is the mom related to Charlie? 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Is mom high?

Cinderella is hoping Dr. Now puts a glass slipper on her foot.

[Chicklet]

She's MRSA colonized too? She's doomed.

[Hellga]

Hoping is a figure of speech, you need action - he should print it in giant size and hand out to everyone who utters 'I hope' in his office...

Mine was Cosmology, a 100-level Core* class taught by a guy who apparently thought we were all physics majors. I managed a D+. Called the registrar's office when I got my grades just to make sure it still counted for the Core requirement. (It did; major classes had to be a C or better, but Core requirements you just had to not fail.) No way was a retaking that one, either way. I would have taken Rocks for Jocks** or something rather than that.

*Liberal Arts school; we had a "Core Curriculum" with various requirements aside from your major.

**I'm not a jock

There's the doggie! Aw, cute doggie! (Weiner dog. It's just a nickname. Don't eat her.)

I had a summer class in 1987 Biology for the non-science major.  Had to take 3 credits of any science and Rocks for Jocks did not fit into my schedule.  Teacher was an MD from Mt Sinai Medical Center in NYC.  Thought we were all going to med school  I have never worked so hard for a three credit, non-major class in my life.

I don't think Mom's high, she's just incredibly stupid.  

I can't believe she'll lose 30 lbs in 2 months, and end up in the 400's, and get surgery.   She still thinks WLS is the magic bullet, and she can stop working then.

YES!!!  I meant that I had not listened to Winwood for a while and got back into him when he put out "Roll With It".

This chick is not succeeding.

That is awesome! And you are not older than dirt, you are in the prime of your life.

She was a pharmacy tech. Maybe she brought some of her work home

[umgoblue]

Dr Now:  She is consistently under-performing!

I ain't doin' shit when the restrictions get lifted. Because after the summer, come the fall, I totally expect a second wave of this stuff to happen so I'm just gonna keep the social distancing up until... I don't know, when there's a reliable vaccine around my 40th birthday? (I'll be 37 this summer so...)

Your doing better than I am where I live. All of that and more were pretty much wiped out two weeks ago, including pasta, ground beef and an apparent run on sauerkraut......... Don't ask!😊

Back to Megan: Is this chick even remotely interested in hitting her weight loss goal? Hell, I am way older than her and don't take any where near 12 medications.

[Pepper Mostly]

Is mom high?

Yes. Yes she is. And do you blame her? In her shoes I'd be high as fuck just to get through the day. 

Once more, Megan is excited and can't wait. I bet she's ready to do whatever it takes.

We watched Dirty Dancing again last week.   We are trying to watch some old movies in the midst of Love in the Time of Coronavirus.

[Hellga]

Wow, she really thought she would be approved!  I guess for her the actual magnitude of weight loss is unimportant, as long as she shows she is moving in the right direction.  But by that logic one bite of food is just as good as a giant plateful, it is, after all, eating.  So why doesn't she apply it to portion sizes? 

[WonTon]

Neck moles is not getting surgery. I'm calling it.

I feel like there’s going to be a huge uptick in cases once states/cities lift the restrictions. I’m just going keep isolating. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

An off topic tip.   If you can't find regular ground beef, the frozen hamburgers are pricey, but available.     My store has two brands of paper towels now, so things are improving.   

Are those moles or piercings on her face?    

I saw John Denver in concert twice.,    Rick Nelson played at Homecoming at my college, a few months before he died, and he was great.   

So Megan is searching the place to find Mommy's stash of food?    And she's the one that ordered the mega multi pack of Pizza, Wings, and Pasta.
