middlepat congrats on your anniversary. I hope you taking her somewhere special.

As for weight loss, I need to get going bad. Last year doc let me have it. I was at 280 at 6'. Way too much. I did good at first lost 15 pounds in 2 months. I have gained most of it back. Doc told me what I should weigh. I would like the dos in the haunted mansion. I would be happy at 200 and elated at 190. I need to get my but moving more and reduce the portions. I should do ok then. Much easier said than done.

I work as a contractor through a company for the BIA. We had several folks told they will be let go to save money. Never fun when this happens. Have a great day all.

I'm sorry to bring the thread down again, but I have some bad news to share. I'm currently sitting next to my mom's bed in a hospice facility, watching her sleep. She had a brain aneurysm 6 years ago, and back then the doctors didn't think she would have very much longer. With surgery and therapy she was able to live at home for a little while, but has been in a memory care/assisted living place for the last few years. A few weeks ago she started taking a turn for the worse and the past weekend she was moved here. Basically, they provide comfort care, not curative. No one is sure what to expect - from a few hours to a few weeks.
Sitting here is very surreal and emotional.
It just reminds me that life is short and life is fragile. Don't pass up an opportunity to tell your family how much they mean to you. And most of all - live your life so you won't have any regrets. "I shouldn't have done such-and-such" or "I really wish I had done this-or-that." That's how my mom taught me to live, and I can only hope and strive to be half the person she is.

@FreezinRafiki: having gone through the loss of my father a few year's back myself, we're certainly keeping in our thoughts and prayers!

 

[that's nice]

Barry-
So sorry to hear this news. We'll be thinking and praying for you, mom, and the family.

If all we ever shared with each other was the happy stuff, I don't think we would be this close of a group. I hope everything goes as smoothly as it can.

 

[Emma's Dad]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Barry. I cannot imagine what you are going through right now, but I pray for peace and comfort.

Things like this is what amazes me about the DDC.Here we have 500+ guys that get together and share their life experiences.Though some of us have never met,we are like family.We can come in here and share our happiness, our sadness,or just our thoughts.There is always someone here to pick you up when you need it, to offer you advice,maybe even just to talk to you,or even just be here to listen. I am honored to know the members of the DDC,and will be honored even more to get to meets some of you.

Barry, I am so very sorry for what you must be going through right now, and for what your mom is dealing with. You and your family are definitely weighing on my heart right now, and I'm praying for you all.

If all we ever shared with each other was the happy stuff, I don't think we would be this close of a group. I hope everything goes as smoothly as it can.

Exactly. We're definitely more than just a surface-y kind of group.

CRAP!! Some idiot called a bomb threat in to my office building. So now I'm sitting in a coffee shop a few blocks away, trying to get some work done on my iPad. But I've got two motions to get filed today, and most of what I need to get them drafted is on my desk in my office.

Oh, and it's raining. Hard. Walking back out to my car from the coffee shop is going to suck, because I was too stupid to grab my umbrella when I got to the coffee shop. DOH!

Can I just leave for Disney World now? Pretty please?

Aaahhh, Government Service I do know the feeling.....Repeat after me: Just a little longer. Just a little longer

On a semi-related note, since it is now 12:15 here, technically its our 9th anniversary. (and yes, 9 years ago we had a few "changes" to our wedding day due to current events at the time) I feel very lucky to have found the one woman (and there can be only one) that I just seem to be a perfect match for.

OK, so she may roll the occasional eye at my cheesy one-liners and bad puns, but I think she still loves me.

Congratulations. We have 9 years, 3 months, and 4 kids to show for our relationship.

@FreeznRafiki. - Thoughts & prayers.
