Golfingboy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Watching Tampa-Rams NFL game, oh my have both teams gone downhill since last year. God bless Daylight Savings Time, went to the mall earlier than usual, got my steps in, then grabbed coffee and groceries. Only thing is I was gone so long, I sacrificed watching Lions-Packers game, it’s a sin… @YesitisdakidI apologize. Anyway, good sales, lots of pork and strip loin steaks visiting my belly this week…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondropkid Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Just had my holiday vaccinations checked and updated. Had Tetanus(with Diptheria, Polio) thrown in for the Trifecta🙂 Hep A, and B are still good for another 5 years, but needed a Typhoid shot. So 2 injections free of charge, only had a 10 day wait. Hit the N.H.S (National Health Service) jackpot!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends father was a founding member and is portrayed in the series. She knew it was in production but was still surprised to get a call from the actor playing her dad a year or so ago. He very politely asked a few questions about her dad's personality etc. Haven't seen the program yet myself as I am going to binge watch when I have the time. Incidentally my friend and her family are pleased with the show although a few facts have been apparently "toned down" for TV. Sorry - no spoilers 😬 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Just back from the mall. Drove today and walked around, 15C here which is great 6 weeks to Xmas, but we had Scottish strength gales, so didn’t feel like walking outside. Apple has bumped up my goal twice from 370 to 440 calories, while I’ve reduced my weight 2%…..so I’m doing forced to do 20% more work daily, but it’s not an issue Usually take my BP once, today took my time and did 4. Lowest was 135/97, and highest while still sweating after my fast walk, was still lower than some of my resting measurements 3 weeks ago. So no doubt progress is being made, even though 97 diastolic still worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired by your example, I just downloaded one of these tracking apps on my own phone so I can see the figures for one of my overnight security shifts - imagine my surprise when it showed I've already done 5700 steps today and all I've done is drive downtown to my dentist - looking at the time graph, it appears that the phone has been tracking my activity all along but just needed the app to display it because the time graph jives perfectly with my shift from midnight last night and the dentist visit! It even shows how many floors I went up and down last night - a couple of my buildings have multiple floors and I always use the stairs - pretty neat stuff. Looking at yesterday's totals, it shows me doing 10,344 steps for 7.6km, and 21 floors - I'll have to see how tonight's routine compares. At any rate, it's working as I have shed 31 lbs since mid-June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made the last 8 again, then missed a straight long black to lost hill hill. Eyes let me down again! Good fun and 6 hours of constant playing for 500b You played good mate, but that last game in the final 8s at Sports academy, was a joke! Guess you played at Hustlers on Saturday, right? That old dude being weighed on Hcp at Sports Academy and getting the 7, that was just stupid... PS! "Getting the 7 means that the 7 ball is just like the 9 ball for you and if you make it on a legal shot you win. Without any other conditions the 7 is considered "wild" which means it wins if made on the break or any other legal shot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only pot the 8 if I call it, otherwise it comes back out, same on the break. I can only win on the 9, he wins if he pots either. I had to give him a 3 start too! Yes, I played in the Huslers Sunday comp. Won 6 matches before loosing Hill, hill to Tong. Missed a long deep screw on the black to clear from the break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Fantastic day today! Up early for a damn good two hour walk. I seem to be the only person in town wearing a Poppy but no level of "Wokeness" will ever stop me from doing so. Back home to a quick Chef's Kitchen ham and mushroom pizza (no pineapple) but with added cheese, washed down with a pint of cranberry wine and Sato. Before falling asleep I bunged a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup into the slow cooker with peas, sweetcorn, eryngo and shit ache mushrooms, and sliced gammon. I used the cat's arse to wipe around the rim and put it on Auto.. I've just woken up, had another pint of cranberry wine and Sato and had a bowl of mushroom and cat's arse soup....De-Bloody- Licious !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) About to stream some hockey, just got back from a quick walk. Bloody freezing in MTL today, only a high of 7C, now it’s 3C with a wind chill of zero. Weight dropped again, I’ve really turned a corner in terms of discipline, the old me would have bundled up and stayed in…..
