I had one of those this weekend. Except it was just three days and it wasn't by choice. I wish I could've gone into work instead.

Yeah. The no breed kind. The only way a dog is ever coming into my house if I order Chinese.

Is that already out? That was fast. In fact, it was faster than Superman going through drive thru.

WHAT?! Are you kidding me with this right now? I can't afford to haul off a couch. Much less get a new one. Now, you're telling me not to sleep on The Sound of Music 4K preorder. NAH!!! I'm going to take an Uzi and rub out that Von Trapp family.

Our friend Civiclx has been MIA for over a month now. He's been a member on here since '08 which is a long time.

I hope all is well with him and perhaps he just needed a break or got busy with life.

Hopefully, he will return soon and post a bunch of nice pictures from his latest adventure.

No matter how many regular members there are and can be on here, when they aren't posting you notice it straight away (or nearly straight away). A member who hasn't posted on here for nearly a month is "Bradsdadg". They have popped on here since but haven't posted either side of that visit. Getting a bit concerned about them. The summer holidays period seems to have passed with fall/autumn having technically started now.

Not interested in getting a dog, but two of the breeds I've always liked are the Boxer and Newfoundland.

My cousin had a few newfies. Great dogs but like having a bear haha. Sadly they can develop many health issues due to their size.

My electrophysiologist has told me that I now have complete heart block, also known as 3rd Degree Atrial/ Ventricular Block. I had 2nd degree A/V block Mobitz type II at the time of my biventricular pacemaker implantation surgery back on April 29th; I have deteriorated to 3rd degree A/V block.

This refers to an electrical block as defined thusly:

"When you have heart block, there is interference with the electrical signals that usually move from the atria to the ventricles. These signals tell your heart when to beat."

"Third-degree heart block is the most severe. Electrical signals do not go from your atria to your ventricles at all with this type. There is a complete failure of electrical conduction. This can result in no pulse or a very slow pulse if a back up heart rate is present."

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/heal...es/heart-block

My electrophysiologist says that this means that I am now fully pacemaker dependent.

I have appointments with both my electrophysiologist and my transplant cardiologist next week.

And sometimes I think I am doing bad. Wishing you well.

I have no self control sometimes. I hit 329lbs. Then I have been eating chocolate chip cookies day after day. Plus I wonder if the chili I made isn't to blame also but I am up about 7 pounds. Ugh. Back at it.

The weather's already turning cooler in the mornings but not enough to warrant hoodies or sweaters, yet that's what I see everywhere I go. People wrapped up in cold weather gear as if it were in the low 40's. Then you see them carrying the sweaters on their arms at night when the temps rise up to 80 lol

Thank you. I wish you the best outcomes with your health concerns, too.

Sitting here trying to narrow down everything I still need to do as my wedding approaches. Only a little over 6 weeks to go.

Don't know why, but this reminded of a quote from Golden Girls:



Dorothy: Ma, it's 8 o'clock in the morning, what are you doing with the sherry?

Sophia: Don't worry. I'm not gonna drink it. I was just going to hide it from the dog.

Dorothy: Ma, come on, you expect me to believe that?

[After Dorothy sets the bottle of sherry down on the kitchen table, the dog runs up and hops on a seat right in front of it]

Dorothy: Promise me you won't drive.

You are not alone. I am the same way. I cannot seem to help myself. I just can't seem to get myself in gear to lose any more weight. And I cannot seem to stop from keeping what I lost off. I think it has to do with my ADHD. Sometimes, I just can't sit still and not eat anything.

I equal the sentiment and wish you well!
