I've decided that once I start dropping the weight, I'm going to take up wearing corsets again, as they're great for supporting your back.

I've got great source for them (in a variety of fabrics and patterns), so I can have a bit of fun while I help my back feel better. (I've got osteoarthritis and narrowing between L4 & L5, so the extra support is a real blessing)

I am sorry you are in pain and are ill . Please get better soon.

And I totally hear you about other people having poor spending habits, a weaker work ethic, and complaining that they have "no money"

Are you following me?   Your complaints are the exact same as mine this week!!!  sometimes I really dislike people in general!!...I hope tomorrow is better!

The people who ***** about being broke is part of my ***** fest today too.  lol  wtf is with those people?

I need to edit my post. My dad is a pain in the ass. I should cut him some slack sometimes. But sometimes he puts me over the edge. I know he is going through a lot with my mother.

Family.... they know us for years - they know all our buttons.. and they know how to push every one of them...

He is angry right now. I know I was the lucky one to be the target. They don't understand why I don't come and visit. I am two hours away. I am getting my daughter ready to go back to school. And I actually have a job. 

HUGS... ugh.. 

1.  I get the lowest merit pay increase ($50 vs $175) HOWEVER everyone asks me for help EVERYDAY with THEIR job while they chitchat on      the phone. Yes, I am thankful I have a job but DAMN!

2. Colleague who wants to be me--weight wise, lifestyle wise, salary wise.  ****!  Get your own life!!

Sometimes I "forget how" to do stuff when people like that ask me for help. Sometimes, I dont know or arent familiar.
