Me too. Always looking for the escape route, and if the herd is going to kill me.

I am suicidal; and you know, I'm not bragging or anything? About that? Just saying I don't really mind dying? But I don't want to burn up.

Car crash is okay.

No trampling by screaming people, please. And then melting. And then posthumous hosing and design investigation.

Good grief- HOW do you find time to post here too? I am breathless from trying to keep up at Feelies.
BUt I do type slowly...

I wanted to bring you up to date on the Atkins... weren't you the one who had asked about it when I mentioned how Dan had lost 30 pounds? I started it and have lost 5 pounds so far. 12 to go. ANd it's really not hard once you get used to it. Ammo likes it because he doesn't like foods that touch each other anyway, much less food that is mixed up intentionally and baked. So I just give him what we have plus a potato or pasta.
But what I am noticing the most is the energy I have! I feel GREAT!!! No sinking spells in the afternoon- and if I get irritable, it usually means that I need a fat fix. So I run and eat cheese, or some meat, or I mix a Diet Coke with cream. (YUM) I can have salads and veggies a little. Mostly it's just no starch or sugar. No bread or pasta. And that's getting easier. There are substitutes for that stuff.
I also have given up drinking except for one glass of wine at dinner.
