Yes Puppy I sure hope that works - otherwise there is rumbling of challenging OPEC so they just released more for April. As Mrs M says the handling is the same - it's all about the Oil Co's & Politics.
I think this is just a push to get the President's energy bill passed which is a blank check for the Oil companies - It's a back-up for Bush if he loses the election.
MG: Congratulations on finishing your sewing project.
There is nothing you can do that is more rewarding as
something you do with your mind and hands - For Someone
You Love.

Mory, congrats on the 100# weight loss! That is stupendious!!! What courage you have!
Thanks Mory 
Now I have to get two curtains made for my other soon-to-be-born grandaughter's room. Should be a piece of cake compared to those dresses!!
Also congratulatons on your weight loss. I know 25 lbs isn't much compared to your goal, but it's uncomfortable for me and I have to get rid of it!! This is day two of my fasting and I'm loosing my resistance to the food here. But I'm going to try real hard not to give in. It's just that those apples over there look awful good, and a little peanut butter on them would really be good. *sigh* better go sew, or outside quick!!

Pnut butter on apples? hmmm Well, I have never tried that, but it is making me hungry!!!

Pnut butter on apples?
Oh well, Puppy, that I am a regular at eating! 
Thanks for the Kind Words..
I started at 538 and today
am 396. I have cut six inches
off my belt and am not getting
a new one. I threw out my 7X
shirts & today bought 3X which
which will be fine on Monday.
I no longer have a goal as I
hate failure - just one day at
a time. Actually I do have a
goal - It's to be comfortable
in an airline or theater seat
again. I can now get in one
but in two more months I will
.. be able to breath..LOL

Mory, when you were 538, were you able to walk much? You have done so well!! I am going to print out your last post and show my daughter. She went through some serious depression a few years back and went to over 400 lbs. She stayed in bed. She now weighs around 140 which is pretty normal for her 5' 7" frame. I know what she went through, so can understand what you are also going through. I have always been lucky to have a small frame and no weight problems. I realize how lucky I am. Again, Mory, you should be very, very proud!

Mory...Congratulations on your weight loss. I know it's been tough, but how rewarding. I only speak for myself but I find losing weight very easy. However, the decision to actually make the commitment to loose is another story, that's hard, since it entails a lifestyle change. MG, I fasted for 18 days once. After 3-4 days you don't even want to eat. The pounds do drop off but the risks are great. Looking back, I was stupid to do it. Just eat healthier foods and not as much and exercise more

I used to take apple slices and put them on a stick - dip in milk chocolate and roll in chopped Macadamia nuts. Three or four apples like that and you don't really need a desert...LOL I say it's the dipped cherries and glace orange that put on my weight.
Yes I got around good Mrs M: Though summers I used my Golf Cart a Lot mostly to get from cookout to cookout LOL Now
I can talk about food or even cook for other people It doesn't affect me - I can leave it.. It is stressfull when friends who know I am dieting say OH come on have a porkchop. They are in AA so I come back and say I'm going home and get a bottle and drink in front of you until
you stop pushing. Only then they stop.
Thanks Jake: My brother was always thin
it's just chemistry. MG: Eat the apples plain and slow or dice them with raisins which give you a energy boost. . Eat some Bran or shredded wheat you will lose weight so much faster and not be hungry. I go to a local Chinese buffet and just hit the salad bar for lunch for $4.50
I can't buy for $20 what I eat there let alone the hours to clean & cut things up. The only thing I take from the Hot table is Mushrooms. I really enjoy it. If I do the same thing after 5PM it's ten dollars. If I fill a plastic take out it comes to $8 to $10 even at lunch. I have done it to compare. I don't eat any of their dressing. Just much like a rabbit for an hour. Enuf of this food talk.....

You are right , Mory, it is chemistry. Even my own children differ. I have one son that is like me and has always been thin. My husband was very thin when we married , but got up to 240 later. Now that he is ill, he is 60 pounds lighter and constantly loosing.
Haven't heard from Jabber for a while! Hope he is not ill!

Sorry I didn't make it back here last night. Our wireless crapped out. 
dumb thing. But I did get the curtains done!
The exercise program I'm tring does the fasting shakes (yucky) for two days and now I have to start the exercises and good diet.I lost 4 lbs over the two days so I was happy with that start. I really don't eat much. I don't like fried food, and greasy stuff.I do have a sweet tooth. But the antidepressants I was on from April last year until about three weeks ago made me gain weight.(they were to help me deal with my son being in Iraq) I wish the dr. would have told me that might happen!! I was getting depressed about my weight from taking them! I weigh 142 now. I know, some are saying that's not bad. But I'm only 5'2 and I have small bones. I should weigh around 120. I'd be very happy at 125. Just HATE my pants to feel tight! Heh, I picked up a couple of "gardening pants" yesterday at a garage sale. The were two sizes too big, and pretty sad looking. but they sure are comfortable for working in the garden.Which is what I have to do this weekend, AFTER I do the exercise program each morning. It's 6 days a week, for 6 weeks. Just in time for pool season! (what do you want to bet I can't move tomorrow
)

Jake you fasted for 18 days?!!! I was close to giving in last night, I'd never make it for 18 days! LOL My hubby wouldn't make it for 1 day!!
I wouldn't place any money against that bet!
I love any kind of veggies or fruit. I also love cottage cheese mixed with about anything, including cereal and I love yogurt! I am not a big meat eater and I don't care for most fast foods. Candy and sweets, not big on my list. Sometimes they look good, but when I eat the, I usually don't finish them.

MG in a couple of days.
Yep 18 days of nothing but water. DON'T EVER DO IT. My seizures increased dramatically and by the time I wised up and decided to eat, I couldn't because my tongue was chewed up so badly from the seizures. I was in Phoenix with my dad while he was in the hospital; he broke his neck in a truck accident and was paralyzed from the neck down.
Mory...You sure do have good will power. If I went to a restaurant, I couldn't resist the things I like.

Oh dear, that must be me! I love parsley!
Jake, yes , I can imagine that a fast that long would harm your health.

Mrs. M. Sounds like you eat a very healthy diet, very admirable. Veggies, yucky -- yogurt, yuckier--cottage cheese, mega yucky. If it’s good for me, ick. If it’s not, yum. I guess I take after my grandmother; she never had a green veggie in her life. When I went to visit her she would say, I need to go to the store, I'm out of staples. She meant candy bars, cookies, cakes, pies and ice cream. To her those were the five food groups.
That's a really cute pik, Mrs. M. Ya think I should swipe it and use it for my sig.
Jake, I found it the otherday and saved it for you!
Guess I do like food that is good for me..not sure why, but I always have.

Five Basic Food Groups OMG LMAO Again
I'm Putting the Parsley Joke on
my frig. LOL
I buy a Flat of Parsley this month and
will plant it with Petunias along the
boarder of my summer place for the
Bunnies - Sometimes there's even enough
left for me

Here goes, cross your fingers
It seems my whole Life has become
Learning to Like any food that
I can eat without Guilt...
Last year I found Kiwi and now am addicted to it..
Fortunately few in my town like it so on Monday
I get a couple trays from the
Produce Manager for a dollar.
I blend them with Ice for a Sorbet
Food for Gods

Jake you sound just like my hubby!! He has no use for healthy food.
It's just not your day for the new sig.
You should be able to highlight that, copy it and then paste it in your sig.

I love your frogs, Mrs. M. I took out a space between letters. Let's see if it's better or worse.
They both look the same to me!
Take that observation back! The last is closer and better!
