Lose a job, see what you gain


Posted: Apr 6, 2014

Had a nice little once-a-month job (hmm, that sounds like I get paid to menstruate, but no that's not it LOL) - lost it - it was kinda painful, 'cause I liked my coworkers.

But then, I've had time to check out a new writing group, AND go to my painting group - they were wondering what happened to me - let's just say "arctic vortex."

Then my heating bill was insanely low, it will be low this month also, so I'm gonna make it (by the skin of my teeth as they say).

So, the moral of the story is, even in the middle of a painful loss (mostly 'cause I liked my coworkers) (oh and the ka-ching! cash!) there can be some major unexpected gains!

It was fun wearing orange to a writers' group today.  That is all.

Menopause And Weight GainFeb 13, 2011
I found out about a year ago that I'm in full-blown menopause.  I have all the characteristic issues that go along with it.  All of my life I've had to watch what I eat and try to exercise regularly (but that isn't going nearly as well as it should be right now).  Some days I just have no motivation whatsoever.  My tighter and tighter fitting clothes should be motivation enough, but apparently it isn't.  I'm so tired of this weight gain and feeli ...

Weight Gain/GERDJan 23, 2011
Well, it seems I have myself in a corner.  I was eating what I wanted, how much I wanted, etc.  I have dealt with GERD symptoms before, but not so severe as now.  I wake up with bad heartburn, etc.  I vow to eat more sensibly and smaller amounts at a time.   I love hot tea throughout the day, and decaf coffee, one cup per day.  Can anyone tell me:   1.  Does green tea have caffeine?  A friend suggested I drink this. 2.  Is decaf tea ...

I Have A Fat Cat, Now Needing To Gain ControlDec 15, 2013
I have 4 cats, all have the same food but one cat has really gotten overweight and now I am going to have to do something about this. Do not need to hear what a bad mother I am, just needing to know if others have been here before and what did you do. I have fed both wet and dry food and usually have it sitting out with sporadic treats for the cats during the day. I have been reading on line how you need to separate the fat cat from the others for feeding. He has become a couch potato as well. A ...

Anyone Else Had A Thyroidectomy & Weight Gain After?May 02, 2016
I had a total thyroidectomy 2 weeks ago. Started levothyroxine 112 mcg the day after. I've gained over 20 pounds already!  I seee the endocrinologist next week and am hoping that adjusting the dose of levothyroxine can make a difference.  If not, it will require starvation mode to keep the weight off.  I've never gained weight this fast before.  The also found adenocarcinomam in the thyroid but it was small and think they removed all of it.  ...

Every month I go through the same thing - I wonder if I am going to make my house payment.  There is just so much we have to pay for and obviously not enough money to pay for it all.  Sometimes I just sit and cry and ask over and over - what are we going to do, where will we go, how will we live?  I don't want to lose my home but there does not seem to be anything I can do.  Just call me sad but true mt.  Just thought maybe if I wrote it down I would feel better.&nb ...

Need To Lose Baby WeightFeb 28, 2012
I had a baby 2 years ago and I have not worked out a day since then (bad I know).  Now, with summer coming up, I need to tone up and get in shape.  Anyone have a good workout they can share to lose the baby weight.  I've got about 10 pounds to lose, which isn't bad, but I'm so out of shape and kind of puffy, no muscle!  I really don't want to join a gym as I have a treadmill and some weights but really have no idea what kind of workout to do. ...

Obama To America-I Win, You Lose.Mar 22, 2010
"Give me tyranny and give me debt" has replaced “Give me liberty or give me death.” With his health care holy war, President Obama is sending America at least 10 messages since taking office: 1. I win; you lose. 2. My will; not the will of the people. 3. Government of Obama, by Obama, for Obama; not government of the people, by the people, for the people. 4. Corrupt House rules and autocracy; not play by the rules and democracy. 5. “I’ll tread on you” now step ...

Why The Tea Party Will Cause Republicans To LoseApr 19, 2011
It isn't possible to have an actual discussion with a tea party member. They love slogans and one-liners, but that's as far as their 'thinking' goes. They are shallow thinkers. The one thing about this, whether you think it is a good thing or a bad thing, is that they are causing the Republican Party to lose credibility. Decent people have been sucked into it temporarily, but if they are able to think, they eventually have enough of it. The Birther movement is taking the Tea ...

How President Obama Could Lose My SupportApr 13, 2011
I have no political heroes. None! I don't see President Obama as a hero. I don't see him as a villain. I think he's done some things well and others not so well. However, his speech will determine for me whether I will support him or not. There is not one person running on the other side that I would tolerate so far, so I'm sure hoping he doesn't lose me. LOL. How can he lose me? If he caves in to the people who want to take my Medicare and/or social security from me, ...

Best Thing We Can All Do Is Lose The Party StereotypesOct 11, 2014
It's easy, cheap - and usually wrong - to think of political parties (and hence, anything or anyone related to them) in terms of simplistic stereotypes and labels, which are almost always flattering with regard to our own party and insulting when it comes to others. I see people here hurling insults at one another - conservatives are this, liberals are that - based on these caricatures which bear little if any relationship to the truth.  The political parties themselves encourage this ...
