Good Thursday morning to everyone.....

Well, as Shirley said in another post, we had some beautiful weather (sunny and warm....60's) down here last weekend but now we are back in the cold again....25* right now (please.....I know that's not cold to some of you, but it is to us down here.  It's all relative, so no "piling on," okay?...lol!). 


Quick story -- I saw a sign in the window of a vitamin shop yesterday, advertising a diet product (I won't mention the name, but it's the one that Kim Kardashian advertises).  I've been on Weight Watchers since Jan. 1 but have only lost 7 pounds so far, which is slooooow, IMO.  So I decided to go inside the vitamin shop to inquire about the weight loss product, thinking maybe I could speed things up.  So I walked in and said to the young man working there, "Tell me about the diet product, and tell me THE TRUTH."  Without missing a beat, the young man said, "It's crap!"...lol!  I thanked him and walked out the door.  I really appreciated his honesty!  He could have lied to me....he could have said,"it's great, you'll lose weight very fast, blah, blah, whatever"...and I probably would have bought it!  But instead, he told me the truth, just as I asked him to do!  Next time I need vitamins I will buy from that shop because of that nice young man's honesty! 


I have some errands to run today.  And DH and I are going to a fish-fry tomorrow night at the Catholic church.  Other than that, not a lot happening in my world!


Have a great day, everyone!

Wow...you sure don't get that kind of honesty very often in this day and age! Good for him....and you too!! Makes you wonder about those poor people on "The Biggest Loser" doesn't it? Losing anywhere from 15-35 a WEEK???? That just doesn't seem healthy to me.

What, and you didn't even as that sweet young feller what he would recommend?!!


How many of you are like me and really enjoy a sandwich at times....and do not consider a slice of lunch meat rolled up in a lettuce leaf a sandwich?!!

Hello Ms. Beebs,
It's been cold here too, but thankfully no snow like so many of our friends...I've finally jumped (well, actually "slowly climbed" back onto the Diet bandwagon)

Hi, everyone, well it IS snowing, but NOTHING is sticking to the ground, not even the cars or grassy areas (not that we have any here on my South Philly, PA block, but I watched the noon news).

In peace,
Max
