Third post of the day:

Here's Charlie's little (less than 4 minutes) chat about inverted thinking.

Okay, I get it now. LOL.... Some days I'm just a little slow!

In my brain it translates to "avoiding what you don't want puts you on a path for getting what you want".

One came to mind for me immediately: don't schedule routine care appointments. I am way over due for a skin check and a dental cleaning. I have so many other health care appointments with the oncology follow ups etc I resist doing the routine health care things that can have a big impact.

Greatly needed homework assignment - will get on it posthaste. Thanks!

I'm glad DH got some relief from the surgery. It did sound like it would be terribly painful to have screws sticking out.

131.2, mostly likely due to having 3 alcoholic drinks last night! Food consumption was good though! I didn't even want anything from the dessert table at the wedding reception. Funny how these meds take that away. Most of the time I don't want an alcoholic drink either, but for some reason last night wasn't one of those times. I'm such a lightweight drinker that my head was feeling it this morning even though I didn't really feel drunk last night. The 3 drinks were consumed over 4 hours. It was fun seeing my old work crew!

DH and I met with a couple from our Bible study for lunch. 2 hours of chatting just flew by!

Not much else planned for today. I have no ambition to make dinner but don't want to go out either! What 's a girl to do? Send her husband out for take out? We do need to go grocery shopping so maybe something will jump out to me!

Greetings all

The clouds are out today but it's not gloomy. Feeling pretty good and I may take the car and go to the gym to see how I drive with one lens out of the glasses. It feels pretty good around the house. We shall see....(lol)

Liz it is not surprising that you have good muscle. That is what is left when you get rid of fat!!! CC is right that the device may be best for longer term averages and such. Trends. And if you do not float well it likely is true. I am like DD - a floater. I am highly buoyant. Always have been. Never understood people who sink in the water. I have built in float tanks. So be proud to be a sinker Liz.

And hey DD, *****ads all the reports you have to write? Sounds like no fun but hopefully benefits students. Stay warm up there and hope you are feeling better.

Ann glad your DH is recovering well from the nails-in-toes. Looking forward to your choice words on the surgeon. Long term good outcome is the desire but why was this detour necessary? Floods! Be safe.

That car is really cool CC. What is it? Could not see. Looks fast and hot. Enjoy and also enjoy having your house back. House to yourself is a delicious indulgence. Just the idea of being able to do whatever you want is so indulging - even if you doni't want to do anything unusual.

Paula sounds like you had a fun event. Bet your outfit was a big hit, No dinner ideas = go buy a rotisserie chicken.

Yep Ann Charlie Munger is right. Makes sense.

CC impressive numbers on your wl journey. You have done well. We all have. This is not a small issue with an easy fix. It is a multifaceted highly complex matter. And the road map is not all that complete. We rock.

Not sure whats for dinner. DH brought home some rather suspect looking enchiladas from the grocery store. They need closer inspection.

I have been thinking about this eye surgeon that did my cataract. I may have mentioned he is an older guy but totally in command. He had some kind throat cancer a few years ago and uses this voice assisi device and had to touch his throat to use it. As a result he is very succinct in his words and very much to the point. The effect is that he makes a few words very powerful and effective. A valuable quality. Kind of reminds me of Pearl Buck's writing -much power in simple words.

Anyone buy a garbage disposal recently? Ours is on life support....

These reports don't really help students, that's why they annoy me so much. I am monitoring their progress pretty much daily, but the federal rules for these reports create meaningless feedback.

I wondered if that was why you hated writing them. Paperwork to complete files seems like such a waste of good time which could be better used actually helping the kids.

Amazing that you already are seeing well enough to drive!
