   A friend of mine says he refuses to get on the scale at the doc’s office, claims that they have no right to make you do that. Says that he weighs himself and tells them what his weight is and they go with it.

   The think I dislike most about it is that they record your weight, including clothes and shoes, which can add up to several pounds, especially in the winter. That extra 10 or even 15 pounds can put you in a worse catagory. And, of course, you always weigh more as the day goes on. Hey, every angle counts, lol.

   I second that. Just walking to the mailbox this morning was enough of an icy challenge for me, thanks.

   I hear ya, Gent, but I took several pills last evening to get me out of a bad A-Fib episode. They worked in about 6 hours. Before I had the pills, I would sometimes be stuck with a galloping heartbeat for days. Very unpleasant. I’ve also had to have my heart shocked back into rhythm. Not fun. The pills have been a game changer.

   Not necessarily. Sometimes it truly is the thought that counts. Altho taking her out for a nice dinner is always appreciated, as well.

   I believe part of the problem with the sizing of clothing nowadays is that most all of the clothing sold in the US is made in Asia or Central America, where, let’s face it, most people are not as hefty as we tend to be in the US.

   “My Octopus Teacher”. Great documentary/movie. Very eye-opening regarding the intelligence and personality of certain popular food items amongst some humans, especially certain cultures.

    I agree that cats are a major threat to birds. But contributing and being the sole cause of the decimation of a species are two very different things. And, of course, who spread cats all across the globe? As with most “invasive species” issues, man, in his infinite wisdom, took it upon himself to introduce all kinds of animals, insects and plants to various parts of the world, often resulting in environmental mayhem. Of course, some cases weren’t deliberate, but many were…and still are.
