Diet Pills

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Apparently you can get diet pills, like Phentermine 37.5 mg as a prescription.  Up till now I only knew about the kind you can get at Hi-Health and other vitamin stores.  It is meant to help control appetite and you have to change your diet and exercise regimen when you go on it.  It also is only supposed to be used for a short-term.  I guess that doesn’t exactly make it a silver bullet for weight loss.

Last Nice Day Before Summer

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Oh what a beautiful day!

The sun isn’t shining; it isn’t warm except for brief periods when a ray or two of sun manage to break through the cloud cover; it might RAIN!!

Not exactly the description most people would give as their idea of a beautiful day but when you’re looking down the barrel of the 100 degree gun and you know those hot, sunny days are the only kind you’re likely to see for the next 6-8 months, this is your idea of wonderful.

We went to the zoo and walked until my muscles hurt but it had to be done.  It’s the last time I’ll be able to get there for (probably) several years.  Goodbye Reba (the elephant who replaced Ruby)!  Goodbye, orangutans (I always thought you were spelled -tang like the drink)!  Goodbye carousel and water-park I didn’t know existed until this year!

Goodbye, sweet, sweet rhino dung!
