So, is it completely crazy and wrong-headed of me to try and use as few of my weekly points as possible? Does attempting that lead to crankiness and crazy-land?

It's not crazy, but the flexpoints are there for a reason. Use them. You won't lose weight much faster by not using them. In fact, I usually do better when I eat all my points, including flexpoints. It's far better to use some flexpoints when you start feeling hungry than to not use them and overeat later.

Jilli, I have never done WW myself, but I know a lot of people who have, and if you are feeling very hungry or shaky you are not eating enough or enough of the 0 point things at least. Also, not using all your points can actually lead to weight gain.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of it that way. I just know that I should keep as many of my flexpoints in reserve for the couple nights a week we go out to dinner.

Back to veggies I go. Thanks for letting me vent.

Good luck, Jilli.

Have I mentioned yet how much I love my new computer chair? My mother bought me a really cool executive style chair for an early birthday present and it is so cool and it is really helping with my back pain.

And, bell pepper slices?? Zero points, baby!

AFAICT, Bewitched was set in Westport, CT. And the movie takes place in California. So the statue in Salem, MA is weird and wrong.

The Ralph Kramden statue in NYC is at Port Authority which is stupid because he drove a city bus and no city busses use the station. OTOH, the public doesn't really hang out at the city depots -- TV Land just picks a vaguely related public space and goes for it.

There are a bunch of ads out there exhorting men to become aware of their prostates. The goal is to deal more effectively with prostate cancer, I know, but, dear god, I go to a slashy, porny place every time I see one of those ads.

One of the ads: "9 out of 10 men don't know where their prostate is. The 10th one is lying."

And I think, "No, the 10th one is gay."

"No, the 10th one is gay."

Heh.

Bunny! I went for a brisk 15 minute walk around the office park (nicely-manicured lawns, man-made stream with little pools, pretty flowers) and saw, in the middle of one of those nicely-manicured lawns, a bunny! Sitting there eating grass, twitching its nose, looking very pleased with itself.

Did it have fangs, or red glowing eyes?
