I'd be remiss if I didn't add,

what a hoot!

I like it. It wasn't my taste, but it's grown on me in the last 30 seconds.

BTW, for my generation, I have a name that is just like this--not usual but not weird. I was the only one in my class; I've met about four others in my life, but everyone's heard my name and it is not weird. It's nice to have a name like this.

16:27 here. Tried every (healthy) trick in the book to lose the weight--bottom line, it was the grains that was keeping my weight up.

I lost 20 pounds in 3 months. The trick is not to cheat and have a little grains. I suspect (but cannot back this up, but I believe this) that if you don't have any grains, you change the percentages (the distribution) of your gut bacteria, and it accretes weight loss.

I also exercise, OP. But I don't think it has to be hard-core. A brisk walk will do.

parishtimes.com has the links to the 26 MoCo schools, and if you click on one, you can find the bulletin. Looks like St. Jane de Chantal doesn't have the last week's bulletin up yet, but maybe soon.

Does anybody know if there is an equivalent to Our Parish Times for NoVa? Thank you.
