HAHAHAHA! Nope, we are all losing our minds- just to different degrees of insanity and medication levels. ;) That's great, though, I'm sorry you missed out on your turkey to cats. On a side note, I'd throw the scale in a closet or cabinet, for now. I unconsciously step on mine, so I can see where that would be hard to avoid.

I think I am going to hide it. Hubby is just going to have to deal. Although.. he went to the doctors yesterday and they told him to lose weight so now he's obsessing.

Oh boy. Well, at least you can get a kick out of watching him worry for a while! I always got a kick out of Mike calling my scale a lair like a woman. I'd never witnessed such a thing before...

My hubby forgot to hide our scale, I really wanted to step on it this morning, but instead stuck it in the linen closet. I can't fit in the linen closet, so I know I won't get on it! I've lost lots of things, but not a turkey yet,lol!

At least you didn't swear when you lost the turkey!

Nope! I laughed so hard I started snorting. I'm not sure which is worse.

Just imagine little man laughing so hard he starts snorting, because you won't let him get Oreos... wait I don't know if that is better or worse!

I've lost a turkey before-I have a big deep chest freezer in the garage, that I can't reach the bottom of. Totally forgot that thing was in there, we were re-arranging and taking inventory and the husband pulled a turkey out of the freezer! Never lost a cooked one though-I'll bet the barn cats think they've used up one of their 9 lives! LOL!

now that you mention it...I remember when my son was just a wee toddler. We had just put Christmas lights on the patio, and had them set on a timer. Toddler Son happened to be looking out the window when the timer turned the lights on and he turns to me, all excited and shouts "THE DAMN LIGHTS CAME ON!" He was clearly listening closely to his father, something he doesn't seem to do anymore now that he's 15 and knows everything.

OMG, you say "lost a turkey" and all I can see in my head is the Bumpass dogs tearing apart the turkey in A Christmas Story... BAHAHAHA!!
On the scale bit... isn't the doctor SUPPOSED TO tell everyone to lose weight? Unless they're under, of course. *not many*

Colly YES! Good to know I'm not the only one that's lost a turkey. lol I shouldn't be surprised. I lost my cell phone at target last week and that thing is always in my pocket.

LOL-I can lose ANYTHING! Just ask anyone in my family, or any of my friends that has had the misfortune of trying to get me out the door!

Zippy Apparently hubby was picturing our dogs being the dogs from a christmas story. I'm still trying to figure out why he thought ooh oven and not.. oh fridge! I wonder what else he hides in the oven. As for the doctors.. they told him to lose weight 6 months ago and he gained. Did he expect them to say oh wait.. perfect weight, nevermind! I think he's mad I've lost and he hasn't. lol

I've stored left overs in the oven, but more often its the microwave!

Same here - will go to nuke something and think 'what in the heck is THAT in there .. oh, shoot.. it's that side dish I forgot to serve last... omg...!

LOL-I leave coffee in the microwave all the time! DFW I think you're right, there isn't a doctor out there that's going to say "oh your weight is fine just where it is, no problems there!"

I put cakes in the microwave. It keeps them from drying out. Until I need to microwave something and forget to put it back in. Cake usually doesn't last long in our house anyways. They'll eat anything chocolate if it's dried out or not. I should get one of those cake things one of these days. Then I could store leftovers in it.

That's great! I'm glad I'm not the only one with a "helpful" hubby who tries to do the right thing, but then doesn't tell you so you think you're insane. Cake can dry out? I don't think I've ever had one around long enough to see that process. I didn't weigh this morning either, but I did take measurements so I can compare later. Hide that scale!

Geez, I couldn't break up with my scale! I sneak around behind my partner's back to meet with my scale, since said partner says I've lost too much weight. Oh, happy barn cats! That is soooo funny! Having pizza instead of turkey you expected, not so.

Hubby just tells me he doesn't want to hear it. So I'm not allowed to tell him I want to lose more or how much I've lost.. or that my boobs are disappearing. Although.. he didn't mind me flashing him when I told him they were shrinking! From now on maybe I will discuss all things diet related topless. That should work.
