Yanti & Salty Beyond Ridiculous Manatees PART 6--CLOSED (Page 91)

In the words of Homer Simpson, "MMMMMM, Doughnuts"

Odd, he said the same thing about beer...

I know she was cited as saying it was a HUGE mistake ... but it didn't seem like she was going to stop until she was outed. I think it probably runs in the vein of genuine addictive behavior.

It makes me admire all the more the folks who have been at the top of the world, and then continue on to live well, and live balanced lives. It just can't be easy.

Most importantly.

The fact that her spouse knew about it but didn't draw any boundaries, to me, is a real hallmark of such behaviors having the power to make those around us sick, too.

Just to continue making grand sweeping judgments, analyses and prognoses ... it seems like a good thing she got outed, since clearly the entire family needs help. And like many people with painful difficult issues--you don't get help until you're forced to, one way or another.

There is a lot of tough stuff in the world, some days just getting through it is incredibly tough. And it has GOT to be tough doing it in the public eye. But, like I said, hopefully this is the impetus she needs to get things moving in the right direction. It would be nice if we could all just leave her alone to work through it, but we know that ain't happening.

Hey, I gotta do some prep for a Christmas party we are going to tonight, so I'm going to head out. If I don't see you all in the next few days, enjoy whatever holidays you are celebrating.

TJ - Enjoy the fam.

Yanti - It looks like your Christmas wishes have been filled. Piglets in the Manatees in the upcoming year. I hope we don't scare them.

After the year that I have had with my daughter being diagnosed with mental illness and addiction, that whole Favor-Hamilton story hits way too close to home.     I am in no place to comment or judge.  All I can say is, there by the grace of God go I.  Her family is in my prayers. 

I ventured out to Costco on the Saturday before Christmas.  Counting that as my jogo today.  It was definitely mental training, agility, and strength, maybe some wrestling and boxing too (especially down the aisles that had samples).  I'm spent for the day.  Nap time. 

I was thinking the same thing.

Congrats on conquering Costco. I hit Kohl's today. I actually wanted to buy more than I did, but couldn't find an available cart . So I got what I went for and left.

GRANDBABIES COME IN TO TOWN TONIGHT!!!!    I get wee ones for Christmas!   Christmas is so much better with wee ones to open up gifts on Christmas morning!!   The grandbabies are coming!  The grandbabies are coming!   Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!.....I'm such a Christmas geek.   Going out to get my jogo on now so I can start baking (and eating).  

What better way to warm up!

Sounds like so much fun!  Enjoy them and love them, they will only be little for so long!

I'm trying to get myself built-up to go out and run in the cold - it's only 27 F here and not sunny.   What will get me out the door is wanting to double my run mileage from last year for this year.  7.75 miles to go yet over the next 7 days.  (I only, well 'only' have 63 more miles to do the same on the bike...we'll see if that happens or not).  Yes, I know that what I ran in a year is what many of you run in a week or a month, but for me to have added so much is an accomplishment.  Hoping to double the new number for next year...hmmm...ya never know, it could happen!

All manatees: please have a safe, enjoyable holiday.  Enjoy your loved ones, cherish time spent together with friends and family.  Sending out some pre-Christmas {{{{{HUGS}}}}}!!!!
