Ordered parts for a new build on Tuesday, using new parts, bin parts, and decommissioning the flat bar. No spreadsheet. All previous builds had a spreadsheet. I am working without a net.

It might also explain a few things, if you know what I'm saying, and I know that you do.

Do you mind if I make a few suggestions?

o Crash diets are not a good idea. You can only maintain them short term, then you're back where you started, or worse.

o You need to establish a reasonable meal routine, featuring lots of good stuff and little or no bad stuff.

o The bad stuff is sugar, salt, trans fat, fried foods, and all the other chemical crap they put in processed food to make it taste good and extend shelf life. If you're going to zero-out anything, zero-out fast foods - they contain ALL of the above bad things.

o You need to take the time to cook fresh, healthy meals, not stuff out of the box, can, or frozen container. That's a tough change for many busy Americans . . . that's a biggie!

o Learn to cook, it's not that hard. Start with simple stuff like baked or broiled chicken, broiled steak, broiled pork chops, or baked or broiled fish. Still very tasty but WAY healthier than fried foods. Fried foods are VERY bad for you. Fresh vegetables are great, but frozen will do.

o Cut out soda completely - it's sugar water with chemical flavoring and contains no health benefits whatsoever! I suspect the iced tea is sugared as well - no good! Learn to love water with your meals.

o Sugar with those cheerios? - No good! Use as little sugar as possible.

o You didn't mention between-meal snacks. I'm suspicious. You know what's coming next, right. Yeah, you gotta get a handle on those and minimize them. They're tough to eliminate altogether! Try switching to an apple or other fruit, maybe some nuts. Reduce the chips and other junk - they say some are better than others, but that's a research project all in itself.

These are the basics. If you can adhere to much of the above, most people should start seeing results in a month or less. It's not easy to make lifestyle changes, but nothing worthwhile comes easy.

Let us know when you'll appear on Dr. Phil. As previously suggested, get a "you know what against her."

When you hear that knock on the door, please hang these signs in your window

Don't open your door or answer your phone. In fact, don't be polite and tell her to "f off" and leave you alone, you don't want to speak to her again. Not that it matters, but is her boyfriend still in the picture?

Vet called, Sam is recovering nicely, once he comes home it's more or less in God's hands, we can only love him and hope for the best. We are puppy scouting, I strongly feel that a puppy will be good for his spirits and health. And it might help us too. Any way you slice it the long goodbye is not easy.

Sorry to hear. I remember when our German Shepard got sick due to a cancerous growth in her mid section; they removed the first tumor but another grew back shortly thereafter. Saying goodbye was really tough....she was a great dog.

Not entirely. It's going to be time-consuming on your part, but there are ways to extend his life by changing his diet, etc. Stress should be eliminated from Sam's life.

So true on the dried fruits. I started tracking my diet using the Myfitnesspal app. I knew raisins had sugar, but it was eye-opening to see how much in context of your daily calories.
