Just a reminder … massages = fluid retention. If you step on the scale the morning after a massage and you are unexpectedly 1 pound heavier than the day before it’s because you’re retaining fluid. 🤣🤣

Here’s the apology and a bit of their exchange afterwards.
C. Ratched, MSN, RN (@cratchedrn.bsky.social) reply parent
I know I’m not you and it’s not up to me to decide. Yet I’m annoyed still. Especially since his apology had to be prompted by people pointing it out to him. I am of the belief that he wouldn’t have done it if men hadn’t pointed out that the apology was necessary. 🤷🏼♀️

My feed is chock full of people he blocked for not agreeing with him. A lot of them weren’t even mad. Just disagreed. And the lion’s share of those appear to be women, which isn’t surprising in the least.

I probably should have called him an asshole. But I was kind of testing that hole. He only blocked people for profanity and insults thing. He failed. 🤣🤣

He just blocked me, too. It’s kind of funny because he told someone else that he wasn’t blocking people for their opinions only if they used profanity and insults. It would appear that that is not the case. 🤣 And I’ll take my martini dirty with extra olives.
C. Ratched, MSN, RN (@cratchedrn.bsky.social)
So Ali Velshi, he who doesn’t care what people say, told someone that he only blocked people for profanity. He’s not blocking people for their opinions. Oh really? Can someone please point out the profanity I don’t see any. I was very careful not to use any.

Your responses on this have been pathetic. Dismissive, condescending, passive-aggressive, tone deaf, rude, and in some cases dripping with racism and misogyny. It seems you’re really not the one to be telling Democrats who the problem is. You should be looking in the mirror for that answer.

Who is Aaron Lewis? And why is he so fucking stupid? I was 15 when that song was released and I understood what it was about. It’s not Springsteen’s fault that Lewis couldn’t understand the lyrics.

I’ve not had a scintilla of respect for American journalists since 1989. Only 2 garnered even a scant bit (Mike Wallace & Dan Rather). The rest from local to national news were all shitweasels. That hasn’t gotten better in the past 36 years.

One of my friends posted a video on Facebook of a mama black bear and her cubs walking through the yard. I am struck, as I am every time I see a bear, by the thought that something that dangerous has no business being that cute. 🤣

I’m seeing a number of posts from people who disagreed with him saying they’re now blocked by him. Which also tracks with your assessment of his behaviour.

“But if you feel it warranted” sounds like a qualifier to me. Since I wasn’t the intended recipient though I leave it up to Ebony to decide whether or not it was sufficient.

He did. And I will give him credit for that much. But he had to be pushed to do it by people calling him out on his shit. And I’m not convinced that if some of those people hadn’t been men he would have done it.

Once or twice a year I try them again just to make sure. Maybe someday it will click for me. 🤣

Fuck this guy. He just reinforces my opinion that all journalists are shit! And yeah, I get that he apologized to @darlingebony.bsky.social But not before pushing back when @deardean22.bsky.social said he should. He can eat a bag of dicks.
C. Ratched, MSN, RN (@cratchedrn.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t mind the flavour. But the texture. I’ve tried them savory and sweet. I’ve tried, rolled oats, steel cut oats, overnight oats. I just can’t. To me, and this only applies to me, it’s like eating a bowl of chunky slimy snot. I wish I liked oatmeal. I want to like oatmeal. I just can’t. 🤣
C. Ratched, MSN, RN (@cratchedrn.bsky.social) reply parent
If I said I have zero respect for journalists I would be giving them about 100 respect points more than they actually deserve. I will give him a -98 respect rating because he did apologize to Ebony. But yeah. That was out of line on his part.
C. Ratched, MSN, RN (@cratchedrn.bsky.social)

And there’s no way since I do the same thing every morning before I get on the scale, there should be that much variation day to day.

For instance this is rubbish. My HR after getting up putting the dog out, feeding the dog setting up the scale stepping on the scale, etc. I can see that my heart rate might be 119. But to call that a resting heart rate is crap.

I know I said that I’d be giving the Hume Body Pod a month to make sense. But honestly after today’s weigh in … I just don’t feel like it’s worth giving more time. It’s going back. It was very expensive and I don’t want to risk not being able to get my money back.

Gay with a line through it. He’s saying it’s not okay for women to be lesbians ‘cause it cuts the number of available “girls” so the incels have less chance finding a girlfriend. “There are only so many girls. And if a significant number of them are lesb …” and that’s when his sign was stolen.

I’m not stressing. I’m just giving a user review of a new scale - which seems to be giving some odd feedback. I’m actually quite pleased with my progress (sagging skin suit not withstanding 🤣).

Then there’s the actual analysis. I don’t understand how losing 0.7 pounds can equal an increase in all of the body fat metrics and a decrease in skeletal muscle mass. Make it make sense.

So here are my Body POD analysis stuff. It just doesn’t make sense to me. Let’s start with it telling me that my optimal time to weigh in is before I even wake up in the morning.

Another morning weigh-in and more confusion about the Hume Body Pod analysis. I’m giving it one month to start making sense. 🤣 But!!! For the 3rd day in a row I weighed in at 229 point something. So I’ve broken out of the 230s! Down 83.4 from my starting point and 91.6 from my highest last year!

I’m really fortunate to have found this clinic job. It is much less physically demanding than hospital work. But after three years of not working and a little over two years of basically being completely sedentary, it’s a big change.
