Need to give you an update

Congrats to ya Dany. Keep up the good work.

Good job on the weight loss!  Actually, quite a few guys on this board are lurkers, and some, like me, become lurkers over time. I do pop in a few times a week, but I don't post very often at all anymore.  Enjoy the ride into skinnyville! Ron

Congratulations and thanks for posting.  It would be nice to hear from more of the men who are lurking.  I've seen posts from Canada to Mexico and accross to Japan.  I assume we must have some lurkers in Europe.  Oh, and one guy, in the military, posted from the mid-East this week.  I often get out my atlas and look up the towns you guys live in just out of curiosity.

Bob your not spying on us are you ??      NICK

Nick, I'm not spying.  I'm just curious.  For example, if there's a news report about something happening in a town I haven't heard of, I'll look it up in the atlas.  I've always been fascinated with maps.  The one atlas I have some problems with is my European Atlas since it's not in English.  Rather, the listings for each individual country are in its own language.  I don't use that one too much.   I'm particularly interested in how many states have towns with the same name.  I grew up in Bridgewater, NJ and I know there are several other Bridgewaters around the country.  When I first started posting, one woman was from Princeton WV;  Princeton NJ is about 20 miles from me. In NJ we even have a problem with multiple towns throughout the state have the same name.  There are 4 Franklins in NJ and 2 Hamilton Townships.  Then, we have Morristown in N Jersey and Moorestown in S Jersey--and both are expensive towns. So, again, I'm not spying.  Sometimes it's interesting to see that someone who sounds like they live in the middle of nowhere is actually in a suburb of a major city.  I live in Willingboro NJ which is a bedroom community located about equally between Phila Pa and Trenton NJ.  Yet, there are farms nearby.  I live in the 2nd largest county in the State but among the least densely populated.  There are 3 State Forests in my county and a good chunk of the Pine Barrens.  Some of that you could find on a map if you were interested.  That's just curiosity and a desire to learn a little more about geography. By the way, you can help me with one small problem I came accross.  I guess I could get the answer if I Google it.  I was doing a crossword puzzle  and the clue was "Reno is here."  I know it's in Nevada but the answer only had 4 letters.  The answer ended up being Utah.  I looked it up on my Atlas and I couldn't find it.  Now I'm going to have to Google it because I'm wondering if they made a mistake with the puzzle.  You can tell I have too much time on my hands.

I couldn't find anything conclusive on Google, so I went to MapQuest and entered Reno UT and came up with no listing for UT but 10 Reno's throughout the country including NV.

Here's an idea. Go to Google Earth and look for buy guys standing in their yards casting big shadows. The Google Earth imagery is a couple of years old so you might can catch some of us pre-WLS. Triangulate the shadows to estimate height and weight. Just a thought.  :-)

Congratulations on hitting a hundred. I'm about 6 weeks behind you and I'm anxious as hell to have a hundred gone also. The only difference being that when I hit a hundred, I won't be anywhere near going under 3 bills like you're finda do. And have fun getting all that "global warming" off your driveway. That's an opportunity for fellowshiping with nature that we don't get much of here in the desert of west TX. Occasionally shoveling sand drifts though......
