[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 604166, member: 84"] skotti, I wouldn't mind a roommate but this economy is horribly depressed. Yours might be in better shape, I dunno. (at the moment I think just about everyone's may be better ugh) Once he was hired on to the company itself.......well the pay is much better, but you have to have 450 hrs under your belt first, which is what I'm working on. Usually takes around 6 months, sometimes less if there is plenty of overtime. I've always been a physical person since I was very young. The adults in my family never made a line between male/female work......so I did hard work right along with housework. Granted, for a period of many years I was sedentary, school made it much worse. And of course I gained weight due to that as well. Since Fred walked on I've slipped back into my more normal physical self. When I do yard work unless something is terribly overgrown (sometimes even then as it's actually easier) I don't use gas/electric tools......it's all manual labor. Plus I walk the dogs 2 miles a day on top of that at a very fast pace because they're big dogs and eager to walk. lol I've now dropped off sooooooo much weight the girls are telling me to eat a cheeseburger already. lol Won't do any good, other than things that aggravate the kidney issues I eat pretty much what I want when I want and I'm still dropping weight without effort. I've lost another 10 lbs this month. Had to hit the thrift stores for clothes.
