Spent just a little over 2k on Christmass shopping. Not bad considering every year I spend much much more than that. Funny thing though the malls were not so crowded and the air was not fill with that Christmass spirit, just isn't the same :( Anyway MERRY CHRISTMASS to all here in BB.com...

I went to pick up my 13 year old daughter at her aunts house yesterday... I haven't seen her in SO long... I was SO happy to see her... Her aunt was feeling sick and I told her about "Cold MD" which is something I take when I'm sick. It's all natural and works great... She's in her 80's and I...

My granny was all over me at the family xmas reunion. "Why are you losing weight? You look sick? Bodybuilding? That can't be healthy!" A couple of my fat relatives joined in too. They've never exercised a day in their lives. :( I realize they are concerned, but they really don't know...

My daughter had it from Thursday to Monday and I've been down with it since Sunday night. I feel like my body has been used as a heavy bag. Frig this stinks!!! I've lost 18 pounds so far...

We come across ironies, strange/interesting facts, acts of supreme idiocy, etc on an everyday basis. Post some that you have come across recently. Here's mine for today: I find it inifinitely ironic that the guy who is in the news for bilking millions from investors is named Bernard Madoff...
