Sidewicki works but I don’t know when or where I could use it. The little blurb I wrote earlier, previous post, went as advertised so I now have a new toy to confuse myself.
In the “I can’t win” category I submit the following.
I have turned into the Couch Potato that I’ve been dreading but it’s all my own fault. Background: I spent over three decades as a skinny person. As a youngster I was into all sports and stayed active as I aged. I played high school ball at 175 pounds and when I retired from the Air Force 25 years later I weighed 185 pounds. Last weekend I screwed up enough courage to waddle up to the scales after the Thanksgiving binge and looked down at 240 pounds. The most I have ever weighed. I accept my fate, months of starvation, denying myself the pint of Rocky Road, the pain and suffering of actually exercising the body.
Yesterday I hit the Super market and brought home apples, oranges, cauliflower something’s, watery tea, and a big twelve can carton of “Slim Fast” to curb the hunger. I ate nothing yesterday. Today I had a Slim Fast for breakfast, and another when I got hungry around noon. Now, the irony of my destiny.
As I was playing with the Sidewicki thingy the “E” comes in, sits down at her computer, and checks CNN for news. The first thing she sees is the 10,000 can recall of Slim Fast by Unilever because of a bacteria something or other. Their advice: “If you have it at home throw it out and call in for a rebate”. My first vision was of a slow, painful death from some alien organism. My second vision was of all that strawberry and cream gurgling down the drain. What do I have left? Starvation is near, cauliflower and apples by candle light? Life ain’t fair!
