Well, my scales refused to settle this morning. First I was up 0.8. Then up 2. Then clothes on - up 4. T-shirt on - only up 1. I give up - who knows what I weigh this week? Hubby is going to take a look at them later - give 'em a clean, check the batteries, that kind of thing. In the meantime....well, I'm feeling slimmer this week, and that'll have to do........ I'll put the up 2 in my chart, and weight for next week :(  Signaturekrys UK 157/128/126 Started March 1st 2001 GOAL August 16th 2001 and July 22nd 2004 ...dodgy scales...

I live in an old house and when I first got my new scale, I thought it was broken. It couldn't settle on a number no way, no how. I finally found a mostly level spot in my bedroom and even then, I had to make sure it didn't get out of position by more than an inch. Now that my bathroom is remodeled, rebuilt from the studs out, my scale is maddeningly consistent. (Is "maddeningly" a word? Suddenly I don't feel in command of my vocabulary.) I like "Maddeningly", can I borrow it ? *grin* I'm still learning english.. so I can get away with all sorts of things.. ;op SignatureWill~ 196.2 / 133.4 / 137 lbs 89 / 60.5 / 62.1 Kg Personal goal 125 lbs / 56.7 Kg > Good point.

Thanks for letting your fingers do my walking. <G> And yes, when my scale consistently shows my weight as up, it tends to craze, infuriate, vex, and irritate. In a word, it's maddening. Do you ever start to spell a word and all of a sudden it looks funny and you can't remember how to spell it or whether it's even a word? That's what happened to me. >Well, if one can be 'far from a madding crowd" > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >>consistent. (Is "maddeningly" a word?

I once knew that was not right but could not for the life of me put an 'h' in that word. (g) >Well, when you put it that way.

Suddenly I don't feel in command of >>>my vocabulary.) When spelling "friend," I have to recite the rule: 'i' before 'e' expect after 'c.' I always want to spell it like it sounds. Another word that trips me is "occasion." The mnemonic I use to help me with that one is "there's no 'a.s' in "occasion." Why do those two words still give me trouble but "mnemonic" doesn't? (never mind, it's a rhetorical question.) >I will not admit my pre-demenia state here. Not 'wile' I can avoid >it.

It's supposed to cope with any surface.......carpet, hard floor, whatever...... but I'm going to check how flat that bit is - that's a good idea :) Signaturekrys UK 157/128/126 Started March 1st 2001 GOAL August 16th 2001 and July 22nd 2004 ...a little frustrated at present... > Is the floor where you put it even ? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > meantime....well, I'm feeling slimmer this week, and that'll have to > > do........

Great attitude. My scale does seem to cooperate after being moved too. DH tends to move mine when he grabs the laundry basket from the bathroom. > Well, my scales refused to settle this morning.
