It is a rainy night in Maine.

[demiurgent]

I'm visiting my parents tonight. It's raining, hard enough (and I'm tired enough) that I elected to stay over. I'll get up in the morning and drive like the wind.

My parents bought me a digital scale several years ago. It's high quality... and it's never worked for me. Never. I was too heavy for it the day they got it, and I only got bigger for a long time.

Tonight, we tried it out once more. And I learned that I have lost 147.5 lbs since the surgery. Or, roughly, my mother.

I get to take it home with me tomorrow. I'm thin enough to actually use it, now

That doesn't suck. Not even a little bit.

Congratulations on the weight loss. That's, umm... "massively impressive."

/me runs for cover.

Driving like the wind is only safe if the road isn't slick like the water, so be careful.

You've lost your Mom? Does the Doctor know where she is? Have you checked in the yard? She may just be terraforming again...

[archangelbeth]

You have lost slightly less than a me. Wow. Congrats!

Somebody get Fran Tarkenton, Cathy Lee Crosby, and John Davidson on the phone, 'cause we need a new episode of "That's Incredible!"

Actually, I just wanted an excuse to say "Fran Tarkenton" again...

Wait... is that one english standard mother, or one metric mother?

[chanlemur.livejournal.com]

That would probably be a standard American B.E.S. "mother". The proper metric unit, as all you UK readers can testify, is the "mum".

Alas, I don't know the correct mother -> mum conversion rate, else I'd report it here.

Hurrah!
