Fear The Deer!

Here's Bango, the Milwaukee Bucks mascot performing a backward dunk off a 16 foot ladder recently:




Go Bucks!  If I post tomorrow it will be late.  The Bucks can win the series with a victory starting at 6:00 my time Friday evening.  I will be watching. The last time the Bucks made a splash in the postseason I was in Jamaica getting married and on my honeymoon.  I repeat, Go Bucks!

*I don't know why I can't show the vid now, I've tried 6 times on my way to bed.  I'll try to fix it after work tomorrow. demmit. FML
Update:  It was showing html literally.  I changed the setting back but I don't know how it got switched in the first place.  Well, I know what to check first next time!

I Am A Non-Smoker...

I finished the 3-months of taking Chantix a couple weeks ago.  Since then, I have had the urge to smoke and have gained weight.  I know I have been eating more and more because I want a cigarette.  I finally shaved my chin, yet  it made no difference, I just found another one! 

It gets harder and harder to lose weight the older I get.  Most often it happens when I'm sick.  That's usually in winter and I'm usually really miserable.  Not a good diet, in all.  Gaining, on the other hand, seems to happen easily anytime, but especially now.  The most I have ever weighed happened the last time I quit smoking (for 5 months, about 2 years ago).  That was just a half stone more than I weigh now.  I do miss smoking, but not enough to start again just to lose weight.  I can breathe deeper, cough deeper and laugh deeper than I could in a long time.  Mornings I still have some clearing out to do, but it is getting easier.  My sense of smell hasn't really improved much, maybe that comes later.

Sigh.  Everything I enjoy is bad for me.  Moderation, I guess.  FML

A flood of memories when I saw this pic.  We had one when I was a kid and I loved it!!!

Slim Chips

Slim Chips are good and they contain no calories. Instead of getting fat you can now eat paper with different flavors. It’s like eating tasty air. The Slim Chips are made out of edible paper and pure organic tastes.

I'd give 'em a try...

I need a 'Sign-Off'

I just updated at my garden blog and realized that I usually end a post with an exclamation mark.  I know that I tend to write as I speak, which doesn't alway convey the whole or intended meaning.  I do find that I try to finish a post on an up-note.  Most often that is expressed with that particular punctuation.

Salutations have suffered in this digital age, unfortunately, but I feel the need to say 'Thanks for reading my stuff, I'm done for now,' without being formal or awkward.  I'll have to think about this a bit.
Methinks the cat was on to something...


Which reminds me - on a different note, I loved today's Garfield cartoon! (There it is again!  uh-oh!)
I'll try to edit that in here later.

Ta-da!!
Here it is - and since I blatantly stole the screencap, give them a visit here.

Bye Bye Attu

Attuworld is gone from my list on the right.  I have had Attu on my list of sites that I regularly visit for over 10 years, they are one of my oldest.  But I cannot take their ads slowing me to a crawl or crashing my browser anymore and will not recommend them to anyone.  I am disappointed, but it's just not worth it.  Goodbye Attuseesall/Attuworld.
