I am eating all day though, only not fatty things. Slices of carrot, or parsley, or apples, anything in between meals. And today I had some tasty spaghetti (with some diet cream cheese, nothing else)

Healthy food!  Yay? 
Ouch. OK now that I've changed the way I eat,  I do eat salads daily,  and a decent amount,  really. I've lost 22 kg in the last 30 months,  and after many years of trying to lose weight,  I have to give you some advice,  just putting it out there: you have to worry about the sustainability of your diet. If it's not something you can keep doing for the rest of your life,  don't do it.
If you punish yourself for a short time you will lose quite a bit of weight,  but eventually gain it back when you get sick of the way you eat. What you eat is up to you,  but try not to feel deprived of anything or you'll probably end up breaking your diet, and thanks to your metabolism adapting to the lower calorie intake,  you'll gain the weight back very quickly.  Try to eat a little bit of everything.
I know nobody wants advice on their diet,  but think about it.

Hi Fcrate! Congratulations about that significant loss! And yes, I agree with you but I am eating very few fatty things for now just because I am taking care of my liver after the gallbladder surgery. I won't keep that diet for ever, but I am going to try to keep a moderate fat intake in the future. I don't know if it will work, time will tell.  Thanks for the advice!

Hi all n_n . Soooo, apparently my DnD group now has asspirations for world domination. They plan on building an Army of Goblins to do they're bidding and just take over everything XD .

Sounds fun! One of my DnD group actually became gods, so... another RPG group was more moderate, we just took an entire city (but a very poor one).

Sorry, that came to me instinctively.  ;D
Yesterday I talked about Buffy with a friend. I will have to watch that again. Or at least "Once more with feeling" and "Hush".
I always think of Buffy when someone in the DF Spoilers mentions Nemesis. LOL
We are your nemesisseseses!!!

Coffee feels so good... (I spent about a month without coffee because of surgery and now I am trying to have it every couple of days instead of 4 times a day. And so, when i have it, i really enjoy it)

It didn't end well  ;D

And the city was very poor when our party took it. Then it got better.

They're fine, I sent 2 of them to a friend who wanted a few cats to hunt, the third is driving me crazy stealing my food when it can get away with it (almost never) Teaching it to hunt now, as its mother is busy with yet another pregnancy (If my cows were that fertile I'd be a very rich man :/ )
Maen Dina :D

Hi Fcrate! Well, perhaps you should fix the cat.

@Fcrate: Why would your frined want to hunt cats O_O !? That seems awfully crule -_- .

And awww, kitty stealing food XD !

Cute. I once had a cat who stole food, too. Her name was Lucy. She would sit beside you while you were eating, waiting for an opportunity. Then she would put her head under your arm (she could do that without you noticing at first) and steal the food directly from the fork.
After a while I started feeding the cats at the same time as we were having dinner.
Just closing the door did only result in crying cats until dinner was finished.  :)

The remaining cat who allows us to share her home is a very successful huntress. And most of the time she eats the whole mice. Often without leaving blood stains. You can only see some grass on the floor and you know: this was the place where a mouse has been devoured.
It is nice not to trip over leftovers every day for a change.

A shame that Bella hates other cats or we would like to take in some kittens.

Yes, I noticed that most hunter cats are extremely territorial. My current cat kicks its kitten out of my room whenever she's present. Whenever they're weaned, they're out. Anyway, the kitten is stealing food because I'm not feeding it enough at the moment. Part of the whole "teaching how to hunt thing". Once they get a taste for fresh mouse, I can feed them to their belly's content without worrying about them not hunting. Btw, I never have to worry about bloodstains, but whenever they hunt a pigeon or a dove ----aaaaach the feathers -.-
Stealing food out of the fork is priceless though, thanks for that :D
@Dina & Otlan, third time you gave me this advice, it's still a no. lol
