Thanks Brit! Considering when she said "we need to talk about something" I thought I was in trouble :eek:, I think it worked out pretty "^"

+1

I completely agree on the "you'll never have heard that song the same way before or since"......we have our female singer doing Led Zeppelin, we do medleys/mash-up's that are a blast, etc. There's nothing like an energetic crowd that's enjoying what you're doing to make you play even better!

Speaking of which....anyone in NY/NJ who's free this weekend, my band has gigs on Friday & Saturday night. Ms. GadFly is calling me to dinner right now but I'll post details tonight.

Not a clue yet, personally. KNRG might be able to provide some more insight.

Problem when one's plan is prove to himself that he can maintain weight, then lose even more ;)

I would have thought smaller jeans would have been more of a commitment.. but that's just me. :)

One thing I haven't acclimated to with the weight loss is needing to wear a belt with jeans. I'm a mess around the house.

The style around the local high schools is still to wear your pants hanging off your a$$. You're not a mess, just stylish. ;)

The next goal is 190 by mid-May (from almost 230 last July) and you've seen me - I was almost Larry Kellner size. After 190, I want to set my sights on the maximum the BMI says I should weigh (183).

I much prefer the belt, thank you.

My jeans cost $10 and come from the Rural King (think Wal-Mart for farmers). Not stylish.

I have two pair of these jeans, purchased in 2006. I've climbed under the house, on the roof, gardening, hiking, motorcycling, etc. Still look great - not even fraying at the bottom hem ^ The reviews on their website from people saying these are the best jeans some have ever bought is no joke.

I also signed up for ChaCha. Should find out in 2-4 days if I made the cut to be an Expediter.
