Before I lost all the weight that I did, a maternity T-shirt might have hidden my beer belly but since that's gone now, I'll pass on it.

Got any good diet tips you would like to share? I was fine until I hit my 30's (I won't tell you how long ago that was), and it's been all down hill ever since!

You don't want to know - really. It's mostly a result of the side effects of cancer treatment from several years ago. I figure it's a small price to pay for just being here and the weight loss is a side benefit.
 
I am so glad you pulled through it. I can't imagine what this site would be like without your smart a**, I mean, amusing comments ;)

7-1/2 years - but who's counting? I'll even show you my targeting tatoos if you ask nicely. (When they were putting on the tatoos, I told them to give me an aircraft carrier or eagle or at least, spell MOM but NOOOOO, they just put their annoying little dots.)
 
Hey Kitchen guy I read your blog. Sorry I missed you in Champaign. I was unable to go to the lecture or the opening they had due to a cold so I haven't been inside the Doris Kelly Christropher Hall either. Drive by it a few times. I try to avoid campus. To many college students who don't know how to walk at the cross walk! Glad to hear you made it through the cancer.

Thanks, Ann! Of course, as you know, Illinois only has two seasons, Winter and Orange Barrel. I admit, I was there during Orange Barrel when the student population is relatively low. I was literally passing through town and had a stop about a 1/2 mile from the site. It just seemed like something I needed to do.[hijack] As for beating cancer - I am not afraid to talk about it because education is the best weapon against "The Bastard" and I hate it when cancer wins. What we do in May is so incredibly important, although I usually talk about awareness for all the other kinds that don't get the press that Breast and Prostate cancers get. No one ever heard of the kind I had, but it's a nasty one so we all have to watch for the signs. (I had none of the seven warning signs, either.) [/hijack]
 
Does anyone own one of the golf shirts that are on sale for $15 each? How do they size? Are the sleeves really short? (I have fat upper arms and hate having that flab all over the map! LOL)
 
You are blackballed from VIP now KG! Priceless... That goes to show all of us that there are "others" among us and watch what you say! One minute KG spurs an angry letter writing campaign ( I know it wasn't you KG, but you started the thread) the next, BANNED from buying overpriced logo apparel! LOL! I am feeling a little dramatic this morning if you couldn't tell!

It actually turned out to be a problem with the java plug-in in my browser, but don't tell anyone, okay? It'll be our little secret. ;)

I use Old Spice, anyway. Secret was never really strong enough for a man.

They run large....last year when I started I ordered a large, but I was really thin & It was BIG...35 lbs added to me:( ( quit smoking) & the shirt fits fine, the sleeves are not that short either. Hope this helped, but they are worth 15.00, not the 25.00 I originally paid for them!:mad:

Actually, I'm on the road. When I started this innocent little thread about a vendor, I was in Iowa but today, I'm in the shadow of HO again, in Lombard. I'll be here a couple of days. I'll be home for at least two weeks, then and maybe I can get caught up on my customer calls!
 
So we'll be seeing a whole lot more of you in the next two weeks!??

Maybe - I'm going to be doing some overnights which has a tendancy to fry me for several days afterward. Even on the road, with the broadband card in my laptop, I can read messages here when I'm at stoplights but not do much typing. That's especially true when I'm in the Chicago area, where sitting at a stoplight can be three minutes.
