What've Missed?

[Whateverist]

Shockingly, Hammy didn't make the cut.

Very nice to have you and your perspective back in the fold.  Hope you enjoyed your sabbatical.

Well I've been enjoying  myself.  I'm not sure enjoying being gone is exactly right.  But I did need to be gone.   How did the weight loss go?

Good news. Over the last two years I lost 50 pounds, and am still 40 under what I started at then. I'm working out at least 3 days a week, with Pilates classes twice a week along with reclined stationary bike and weights every day, along with the walk there and back usually.

My wife Lia and I are both retired now. But she still has emeritus status and this year they;re giving her an honorary doctorate. I have no further contact with my old school but I take good care of my garden, the dogs and projects to improve our space in addition to being on the board for California Horticultural Society, cooking most our meals along with regular workouts at the Y. Life is good except I know more and more friends who have lost a mate. Time to plan for change.

If you're ever coming to the SF area and would like to meet, we could help you hammer out an agenda of things, some of which we could to do with you if you like.

I'M NOT CREEPY AND I'M NOT A MEMBER OF THE GANG OF JERK-OFFS BUT I AM STILL A JERK-OFF NEVERTHELESS

HOW DO YOU TURN THIS OFF

You already know that, don't be silly.

Telling me not to be silly is like telling a carpenter to stop bouncing on top of pixelated mushrooms. Silly example, but what did you expect?

Careful only creepy people have to say the aren't creepy.

Good to have you back, Jenny.

Should we tell him it's a plumber, not a carpenter?

[Edwardo Piet]

Don't be ridiculous. Next you'll be telling me Jesus was a carpenter and not a plumber.

At risked of pretending to be as bright or as important as Thomas Jefferson:  I've been gone for so long;  what did I miss?

For those that don't know me, I'm culturally Lutheran and Presbyterian but atheist from before I knew what the word meant.  I'm a 55 year old artist and recovering lawyer.  I once posted here a lot.  Then it got repetitive.  Then I missed it.  Now I'm back.

I'm flabergast to discover Mystic Knight has crossed over to the gray side of agnosticism, and resigned to Dritch's nonsense. Anything else exciting happen?

Welcome back!

I remember many great posts from you!

What have you missed?

Theists have finally proven that a god exists. We just continue posting here because we hate god.

Sorry, but it's a done deal. Nothing more to see here. Move along.

Please don't change Simon.

If I get to SF, I will certainly want to meet you.

Congratulations on the weight loss does it make you feel younger? Mine does.

Hey, welcome back. I too have been losing weight, though not quite as much as you. Down ~40 from my peak, down 20 since my most recent efforts.

You must feel so good. Very happy for you. I can't remember where you live now but the offer still stands when you travel.

It does indeed and now doing the workouts is making such a huge difference in how it feels to move in the world. When I first started losing weight some exercise asked us to think of something motivating to refer back to. For me it was "I want to be lighter on my feet again". Now I really am.

Congratulations!  It's not easy.
