Tidbits

Why stop drinking programs don't work...the people who run them don't want the people to stop drinking...why drug programs don't work...the people who run them are on drugs...why weight loss programs don't work...the people who run them hand the participants a cookie on the way out the door. The participants are more interested in dating than losing weight. They have a hidden agenda. Someone's making money in the divorce racket. Hey, got a dude ranch around here anyone? No thanks. How long do you think THAT relationship is going to last?

I am counting points, calories, fat and fiber. I get 24 points a day. I decided that rather than buy the Weight Watchers brand of candy bar, I would buy the Luna candy bars. I love the lemon bars the most. You can find those at Trader Joes. I like Luna bars better because Luna supports the fight against breast cancer. They offered me a $2500 scholarship to stand up there and say I had breast cancer, but I was too frightened to do that because I know that some people use cancer patients as decoys. I think Bob Peckham died that way. So I told the people at the college that I could not accept the money they were offering me. Well, I'm ready to accept the money. I guess I just wasn't hungry enough a couple of years ago. Ha ha.

I remember being at a TOPS meeting at Kaiser about six years ago. TOPS is another weight loss group. The leader played a hypnosis tape without warning me first. I got up and walked out just as the person on the tape was saying, "You will constantly open the refrigerator door and stand at the refrigerator and look for snacks." Well, by golly, they got me to do that. Now I am up to 220 pounds thanks to Kaiser TOPS. However, the leader who did that is not there anymore, that I am aware of. I guess they did that to me because my husband had complained that I played hypnosis tapes to stop smoking while he was in the room. Did he complain to ME about that? Of course not. He just complained to the people at Kaiser, the people in his AA meeting and anyone else who would listen. After I had been playing my hypnosis tapes for about five years, he started complaining to me about it and we broke up not long after that.

Why does my doctor look like Ben Bernanke? Maybe he IS Ben Bernanke moonlighting at Kaiser. Usually the smart ones are good at more than one thing.
