Numm

Dannon makes a low-fat coffee yogurt. Yumm.

Smart Ones makes a Thai-Style Chicken and Rice Noodles. Nummy Nummnumm.

Two cartons of the yogurt and one of the Smart Ones totals 590 calories for the whole day minus dinner. That's breakfast, lunch and a snack.

And I am soooo not missing anything.

(I also recommend the One-a-Day for Women, if you can swallow that horse pill.)

The scale at the doctor's office was 7.5 lbs. heavier than the one at home, which would have put me above 175 before I started this - ugh. That's not good - high water mark stands at 183.

But I can still hide behind my older sister or my niece. Height and width.

I can see changes in body contours and the small amount of edema I had from sitting all day seems to be vastly reduced, if not gone. Plenty of incentive not to change a thing.

I wonder how much things will have changed by Thanksgiving? I've got some good comparison photos from last year -

Ah, vanity.

I wonder if those kimono fit better now - it's offficial - the size 14 pants I just bought are too big.

However, I'm not in a big hurry to rebuy anything - at 110 lbs, I wore a size 12 in high school. Don't ask. I have no clue. Up top was a dressmaker's 8.

Check my info page - I've got the picture from the Hermosa webcam posted there, which is just a few blocks south of my office. It's a gorgeous day, and I hear used books calling me. Going for a walk!

Death by Online Community?

via the lovely being_homeless - A nicely done article on handling the suicide if you're the one who is first on the scene...

News that you can use.

(I do disagree with the statement that suicide is not "a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Chronic or terminal illness is not a temporary problem - but getting impatient, bored or unwilling to cope is.)

Who really sounds like he needs to be reminded that there are still community-minded Good Guys left in this country.

We got a flyer from the Japanese-American National Museum in Little Tokyo yesterday - (we're members) - the September 11th - Bearing Witness to History exhibit will be at the facility beginning July 1st through the 15th of August. It's going to be held in the Dr. & Mrs. Edison Miyawaki, Taul and Sachiko Watanabe and Weingart Foundation Galleries.

It's being sponsored by the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, whose goal is to promote the principles of democracy, diversity and civic involvement.

The Museum itself is an incredible place. Check out the exhibits from their webpage.

You should come out for Nisei Week. It'll make you proud to be an American. These folks certainly are.

And while an army needs soldiers, I'm glad ours has artists.

The Navy sent theirs to our Armed Forces Day parade.

Wish you could have seen the folks who turned out for the B-17 when it came through.

The two guys in my department who became citizens this year still have the flags we gave them on their "citizenship day" in their offices.

And Jim just came in to tell me about another documentary on Discovery he saw on D-Day.

Idiots come and idiots go - but the good guys find a way to make the important stuff last forever.
