for me I just got notice from the apartment complex management that they finally hooked up with the Public Works lady, but they still ignored my request to get the notice to vacate retracted in writing.

Now I see it! Thanks.

...and apparently the apartment complex manager is out on vacation or something, so I have to deal with someone new in order to get the notice to vacate retracted or whatever they want to call it (acknowledge that I passed and that the notice to vacate is null and void due to it being contingent). Which is just as well, 'cause I get along with the renewal coordinator just fine.

*party favor noise*

Done. Sure hope I don't oversleep tomorrow a.m. I think I'll pass, but we'll see.

I took the day off to continue to clean the apartment -- I really hate that I made it so tight, there's lots of things I should have put off. But, I'm almost there. I found, amongst other things -- a bottle of FFF Behemoth and Cardas Neutral Ref headphone cable (yes, really, I'll take a picture later).

Yay!

Excellent news, Shelly! Glad to hear that you're back to enjoying the beautiful, beautiful music.

DAC got back a week ago and I finally got time to test it out. Sounds great and seems to work perfectly. They said they changed out the LCD which I guess got out of whack when I tried to put the top back on backwards. Glad it was under warranty! It's pretty awesome that PS Audio let's you open up the DAC and still honors the warranty.

How did I miss this thread since dropping poundage has been a primary focus for me since the beginning of December? Congrats, guys! Very impressive losses. I never thought I'd put this out in public, but what the heck.....I'm currently eating strict paleo with a rather severe calorie deficit, aided by the controversial, but definitely easy peasy, hcg. I'm working with a doc, taking injections, though am not on the original 500 calorie protocol, as I get an additional four protein shakes a day. I'm on my second round. I lost 26 pounds in six weeks on the first one, kept all of it off, except one pound, eating more than I had ever could before, for six weeks. I started a second round 23 days ago, and have lost 16 pounds so far with three weeks to go. Prior to doing this diet, I was cycling over 100 miles a week, weight training three days a week, eating healthy, minus a couple big meals a week, and only lost seven pounds in six months. I also had my base metabolism tested at 1023 calories, meaning I couldn't eat anything without gaining. I never had a weight issue when young, enjoyed being 10-15 pounds over weight in my 40s, but once menopause hit, it was like my body just blew up without my permission, and nothing I could do would change it. Right now, although I'm annoyed with the restrictive choices on my diet, I'm not hungry at all, have a ton of energy, am still working out six days a week, and feel really good. I'm 12 pounds from my goal of 132, which I should be able to get to, or at least get close to, in the next three weeks. That will be a 48-pound loss from my scary weight of 180 on December 3rd. If my experience holds true from last round, I should stabilize easily (though no starches or sugars for three weeks post end injections, then add them in). I plan on doing a primarily paleo diet, 80/20, when I'm done, though may do a Whole 30 to kick start things.
