Thanks Unk, I appreciate it. Things are slowing way down, but as long as the scales continue to go down, I'm not complaining on the time frame. How you doing? Last photo of you, you were looking like a lean, mean Unk machine there.

Well, Superbrat, your mutant tomato can join forces with my mutant azalea. I have ONE azalea plant out of about 10 that is in FULL bloom and its fall and the others have not had a bloom on them since last April. So my yard is full of yellow and red and orange leaves and one bright pink azalea. The color clash is just awful.

I've got my usual November iris. Every year, I only get 1!

I've now lost 95.5 lbs, only 4.5 to go. I'm getting there.

Wow Unk, that's WONDERFUL. I'm sure you are feeling pretty good. What an accomplishment. You'll have to post some more pictures soon.

Wow! That is just phenomenal - I am very happy for you.

Unk and MRD - Congrats to both of y'all! Your pics look phenomenal, and you both deserve MAJOR kudos for being so dedicated and committed! (o.k. - not committed in the "they're coming to take me away, haha" way, but in a good way!

Another chapter in the strange habits of our exchange student regarding food. (hope I haven't worn out my welcome on this). We got Chinese food tonight. I had my daughter look at the menu and write down what she wanted, then I wrote down what I wanted, then I gave the menu to Dan and had him choose. I added a couple of things for us to share communally like lo mein noodles and ravioli. I called it in and went and got it and we opened it all out on the table and filled our bowls. My daughter and I ate in front of the tv while Dan ate at the computer. When I went in to clean up and pick a little all the food was gone! I asked my daughter loudly where the food was and Dan ran in and said it was in the fridge. Ok, Thanks! I wiped up the table and got out a tupperware container to take my leftovers to school tomorrow. When I went in the fridge to get it, I found that Dan had written his name on the top of EVERY SINGLE box! Mine, daughter's, his, communal, ALL of them! Now come on, let's be serious. I packed mine up as planned and labelled it "Mom's Lunch" (I'll be gone to the Y before he even wakes up). Then I took a ravioli that I really wanted another of and ate it. Then I tuppered up my daughter's food and hid it under some swiss chard in the veggie bin. It seems so obvious, I can't believe I would have to point out that ALL THAT FOOD is not his!!! I paid for it! We each chose what we wanted. WTF!!!???

I, for one, am fascinated by your on-going saga about Dan! I'm thinking that you are going to have to treat that child like he belongs to you! I vote no more walking on eggshells with him! He needs to lose the impression that your kindness is actually weakness. "Later!" for the dumb stuff!

Gutmutter - I agree with prhoshay - Start a dialogue with him. You need to get it out on the table. I think theres a communication/comprehension failure somewhere here or you're being conned.. Keep us posted.
