Good morning fugee's. Time to put on your Sunday's best and GFY

Yesterday had to get with the ex and ride to town with her to pick up this mantle thing my mom bought. Needed her truck to get it. On the way home she wanted to swing by her place to check on the puppies. Adorable little babies just opening their eyes. Rascal makes some very pretty babies! Im waiting, in a couple weeks they are going to be up running around growling and barking and just being puppies and I want pictures of them all attacking Rascal

 

[LynnNC]

Good morning @chopdoc! I can't wait to see pictures of the pups up and running around! There's nothing cuter than babies whether they're 2 legged or 4 legged.

Good morning all! It's Sunday, no work today so I think it's just going to be a chill day. I have a few things to do in the house then this afternoon/evening is going to be devoted to liquid mixing and coil building. I hope everyone has a great day and don't forget to GFY Sunday style.

Which is biologically true so that any adult of any species will feel compelled to care for the munchkin even if -- or maybe ESPECIALLY IF! -- it's making some ungodly racket to demand attention, or making some unholy mess in its pants. I used to tell my son when he was an infant: "you're lucky you're so cute and I love you, or I'd take you back where I got you!"

Always liked turkey and at .99/lb, i cook a lot of them thru the year

I used to do that too. Make sandwiches, and then turkey gumbo with the leftovers.

 

[The Cromwell]

I loves cold turkey and dressing.

Just not sure that you eat real food any more...

 

[chopdoc]

Rascal and me will eat on it for 4 or 5 days, No dressing, too many carbs and I gotta drop a few before seeing the cardiologist next week
Will trimthe bird later and put it all in a huge tupperware container and grab some out of it here and there.

Good god - and you guys think I'm a food weirdo

No, not really, Always seen you as a general run of the mill weirdo like the rest of us

I loves cold fried fish! mmmmmmmmmm

Good god, me tooooo!

 

[The Cromwell]

No dressing for Rascal. I hear that onions are not good for doggies.

 

[chopdoc]

No dressing for Rascal. I hear that onions are not good for doggies.

It depends. I read some info on that too and if its bad for them then they will get sick from it while some dogs it doesnt bother at all. Rasacl has had lots of food with cooked onions in it and it dont seem to bother him.

Took this pic 5 minutes ago and he had food with onions in it last night. Still snoring peacefully

 

[MyMagicMist]

Happy Monday.

 

[chopdoc]

The one thing not to ever ever ever give a dog is grapes or raisins. There is something in raisins/grapes that a dog can not digest and it will shut their kidneys down and kill them.

Lots of my dogs become pizza hounds. For some odd reason my witch, erm wife seems to spoils all her dogs with pizza. Even this big dog here has gotten too spoiled. Recently weighed in at just shy of 300 lbs / 21.43 stone / 136.07 kg. Need to get back to cycling exercises, get on a paleo diet (cut out a lot of high carbs breads,pastas and such). It is just too much weight on me. Part of the testosterone is having to keep eating.

Guess I need to follow @JuicyLucy 's lead in part and eat veggies like they're going out of style. Either that or go into professional wrestling. No, I couldn't do that. They got too many so insecure there already. So, I'll diet and get back in shape, one better than round.

i went to the doc today, my regular asthma checkup. How come I weigh 139 at home, and 143 at the damn doc's office????? I always make sure the scale here is zero'ed, before I start. It really pisses me off!!!

Welp - made it to Anchorage for Mr Juicy's visit to a yet another new doc

Thankfully, he forgot his Von Erl and Juul in California at his dead cousin's house

Will not deny probability of fluctuation between two scales, cannot. Have no scales here at home. Even if we did, I have noted a gradual increase in weight. This has not been overnight. I don't plan on taking it off overnight either.

I have the opposite problem. When I weigh myself at home, I weigh 110, when I go to the doctor it's usually 107-108 which usually solicits some kind of response from the doctor about eating, protein etc.

 

[MyMagicMist]

Alright. I feel like I have been at least a little productive this morning. Took a compressed bale of "fly" straw down and put in the dog hut. Wife told me last evening it was probably heavier than it looked. *grin* It was at that, it was a 75 lb bale shrank up probably 60%. Reckon I ought not fuss terrible much knowing others have seen far worse, but shew $12 a bale for fly straw. Can recall times growing up Paw Paw's could not give that away. Time and tides, move on with life.

The dogs had fun wallowing it around. Covered most all the floor and paid special attention to get more along the sides. That ought to help them keep from freezing this week, looks as though we have that inbound. Grouchy especially enjoyed rolling it. Sherlock kept coming and taking mouthfuls from me, dashing off outside to "plant" it. Hammy was just Hammy, wanted to cuddle with papa.

Split a little firewood after doing that. Kept it all on a pile toward the front of the shed. FIL is getting set run another load to someone who is willingly paying him $90 for a good pickup load, they suggested that as a price, insisted even. He would be glad of $60 a load, or even less depending on the situation.

Think my wife is planning on a second renovation of the apartment. She keeps getting more and more stuff to fill it up with, I think she's not aware we likely got ample to do already. Oh well, glad she's taking to the idea well. Brought me in a soldering iron/wood burning kit. Figure that might let me scorch my fingers off.

 

[AndriaD]

Hope you do not use that scale for DIY

I cannot even imagine using a scale for DIY -- I measure liquids using liquid measures, a/k/a syringes, and a graduated cylinder for mixing the PG/VG/nic. I also don't buy a gallon of bacon or 8 lbs of milk.

I considered the clothing angle, but the last time I weighed here (one day last week), I was fully dressed, other than shoes -- wearing slippers rather than outdoor shoes... but I doubt my shoes weigh 4 lbs. I'm certain the doc's scale is more accurate, it's one of those sliding-weight ones, whereas mine is digital-electronic -- and we know how reliable THOSE are. In a bit, after i eat, I'll put my regular shoes on, and go weigh myself on our home scale, and calibrate it so that I weigh the 143 I weighed yesterday around 3pm -- because weight does fluctuate a bit depending on time of day. Then I'll know the baseline it needs to be, to measure the same as the one at the doc's office.

I can imagine! If i weighed that little, I'm sure they'd be forcing all kinds of bloodwork on me, to find out what was wrong with me! Mine does stay pretty stable; in the last 10 yrs I've fluctuated only between about 134 (the weight loss after my appendectomy) to 150 (my top weight in the last 10 yrs or so)... I really prefer to stay around 135 -- but I ain't giving up anymore body parts to get there. (unless I just have to -- i.e., my gallbladder pitches a fit!). I'll be reasonably content if I can get it back under 140 and keep it there... but weight loss past 50 is a lot harder than it was in my "prime"!

I think I've finally got them convinced though that it's lifestyle related. I work 2nd shift so I only get one real meal a day and that's lunch before I go to work. I eat breakfast but that's usually a couple of pieces of toast or cereal. At work it's a quickie snack because we only get a 20 minute break. When I get home from work I eat something light because if I eat heavier stuff I can't sleep. And they've tried throwing the blood work at me but I refused. I feel good and that's my best indication that nothing is going on. And I take a multi vitamin every day.

I think my difficulty with losing weight is also lifestyle -- I hate exercise just for exercise's sake, and don't have access to a pool -- I'd swim laps daily if I had access to a pool, because my major gripe with exercise is SWEATING! UGH! I don't eat that much -- 2 meals a day, my "brunch" and dinner; I eat very sensibly -- complex carbs (whole grains) rather than a lot of simples, high protein, low fat, reasonable portion control, and not very much "junk food" at all -- the only time I eat chocolate is that 60% cacao I eat a square or two daily, to get magnesium, and the chocolate coconut water+chocolate milk, for potassium -- and I don't buy bakery items AT ALL because those are my weak spots -- if they're in the house, I'll just tear 'em up.

But now we're coming up on the holidays, so there will be egg nog (low fat, but still...), pumpkin pie, choc covered cherries... If I can get to New Years and still be under 150, it'll be a bleeding miracle.

Amazing how that works on milk. Farmers sell it by the pound and we buy it by the gallon.

Yeah, that is pretty weird. I guess if I used a lot of VG, I might feel differently about using a scale, because that shit really is hard to use in a syringe -- which is exactly why I use the cylinder for mixing the PG/VG/nic -- I mix that, according to my recipe, then pour it into the bottle and use syringes to measure the flavors right into the bottle -- which are all PG. The entire recipe is only 13.5-14% of VG -- somewhere around 7.5ml -- so it's not really a problem with my 56ml batches -- about 10 days' worth.

If I was making large volumes or something I might use a scale.
My problem with using them is if you put in too much you cannot remove it.
I prefer to measure ingredients before mixing vs as I mix.

Y'know, you can roll your PC back to a previous date to get rid of the update, and then set FF to never update. I had to do that when they fucked up the Ajax shit so I couldn't just mouse over the "Alerts" link up top to see new posts.
