When I drove to my favorite State Park I was told to just drive through as the gate was broken, so I didn't need a code. It seems that this heavely bearded mountain man type had been staying in the Park all winter. He ran out of money and was told he would have to leave. He went round the campsites actually waving a Machete in the air, asking if anybody wanted to buy it for five dollars. Some people gave him a couple of dollars, but some, who gave him the five he had asked for never got the machete. He just walked away with it. Who was going to argue? So it got reported and the Ranger went to his site and told him to LEAVE - NOW! His wife then had a heart attack. So they called for an Ambulance and of course it didn't wait for a code and drove straight through the barricade! I didn't lose any money, it happened a few days before I got there, but I did lose 2lbs. I only took diet food with me, not a donut or a chip in sight! I'll be posting a couple of the recipes I used. They are from The Golden Door Spa. I think I ate too much of Barbzeee's good Crock Pots and it was either diet or buy new clothes - a size bigger! I might have lost more, but I didn't set up my outside chair properly and fell and landed on my tailbone! Aaaaargh! So I couldn't exercise as I had planned.

What a great way to get money - carry around a weapon for sale, act crazy, and ask for money. It's a veiled hold-up!!! Fool-proof!
Those tailbone falls can be Painful. It seems like most of the RVers are now taking Naprosyn for one thing or another - it does work.
How was the park you were in? When I was at the RV place yesterday, I saw a rig that looked almost exactly like yours. Same age and coloring, altho there was an orangy stripe on it. Thought of you.
I'm so glad you are doing something about your weight problem :) Did those two pounds you lost bring you down to 98 lbs??? :p That's just jealousy talking. I just realized in straightening up the RV, I have a drawer devoted to carbohydrates!! Must throw them away or eat them quick!
Have a great day.

Maybe Machete Man and I should team up, he with his offering and me with Liver Treats, which, incidentely, Missy! I posted that recipe on the correct page yay these many moons ago! I remember being 98lbs, but that was when I was unhappily married to Ist hubby. Never seen it since.

Sparkle, GREAT you lost two pounds, that was smart NOT to carry tempting foods with you!! It is FAR easier to gain than to lose is my wise saying for the day! LOL!!
Sorry to hear about the tailbone...That is an ouchie.. I did that one point crash landing once when I fell while skating.. I was younger then too..and it still made me "walk strange" for a while....Grin..
Hope you get to feeling better really soon!!
Something to hear about Machete Man!!! I never thought of the Machete to gain money....Dumb me, I worked!!! :)

Sparkle, I know how it feels to land on your tailbone. When I was a kid I did a flip in Gymnastics and landed on my tailbone. Had to sit on a donut cushion for a long time.
Yesterday as I was leaving our Aunts house I walked right into the screen door and knocked it off the frame. Did not see the screen because it was the same color of the sky....just call me Grace now!
I felt SO dumb....reminded me of the Windex commercial but no crows close the sliding screen door. It really was funny but embarrassing! :confuse: :p

I couldn't believe it! They let Machete Man back into the Park. I left on Tuesday morning and in Wednesday's paper - there they were again! They had got in a fight and she took her car and rammed the RV with him in it. I hope they chuck him out for good this time! My tailbone pain has gone down from a brick size burning pain, sometimes icy cold, to about a half inch size of zzzz sort of pain. but it's getting better, and thankfully I can walk the trails without a problem.

It is amazing sometimes what people will put up...in allowing the machete man back in...
I'm really glad your tailbone is getting better, and you are back to walking the trails..but my word, it's taking a long time..!! Hope it gets completely healed and GONE really soon!

I think Sparkle and Jenny won the best laugh award today. Both of the stories had me and the DH laughing hard. Jenny I'm sure it was embarrassing enough to walk into that screen door, but to knock the frame out, now that took the cake. I hate those kind of moments. REminds me of a time when I wasn't paying attention at a Dairy Queen and walked straight into a big steel pole. I literally saw stars and almost passed out. But then, when I saw all of those people from inside looking at me in horror,I kept walking like nothing happened. I got into my car, saw the swelling knot on my forhead, then started to cry. Ouch!!!! The thought of all of those people gathered around me while I was laid out on the concrete just kept me moving! :)

Yeah I've had some doozies in my life like walking into the bathroom at the fairgrounds and notice that either I'm growing taller or they have shortened the doors on stalls. Sat down and tinkled and then stood up to zip up my jeans and suddenly a guy walks in stands next to the urinal that I DID NOT see and I said " Holy S**t, I'm in the Mens room!!" The man just looked at me , laughed and kept tinkling and said " Yeah lady guess you are!!" Oh Gawd I was redder than a Beet!!
