Good Morning Lounge (the substitute)

[Blue_Tires]

I know we are all missing the usual thread with MissHoneyChurch on vacation…Thought maybe this would tide us over…

Not much news on myself, other than I’m finally starting to lose weight (lost 15 lbs since July; only 40 more to go…) and I’m excited about my Labor Day trip to Kansas City…Remember I'm at the start of my day so I won't be able to answer everyone individually...

4. Good morning, Tuesday Afternoon

I had already been working out regularly; but I decided to re-examine the 'hidden' calories I eat during the day with between-mean snacks -- once I started to count them it was shocking...

Congrats on your weight loss. How did you do it?

Hope everyone has a great day. I'm on the last few days of summer break :cry: . Summer is really winding down fast.

6. Good morning, femmocrat

Hope you made the most of your summer...Do you have to go back to school or was this a work break?

[femmocrat]

7. We go back to school on Tuesday.

(I'm a teacher.) I love the freedom of summer break, but I'm looking forward to the school year, too. Actually, I'm really looking forward to fall weather! :hi:

German Word of the Day (Das Wort des Tages):

der Dressman (Dressmen) == male model

Example sentence:

"Einmalig in Deutschland präsentierten in Kerpen sechs Mannequins und ein Dressman 80 Modelle aus den aktuellsten Kollektionen führender, internationaler Brautmodendesigner."

"For the very first time in Germany, six female fashion models and one male model presented 80 designs from the current collections of leading international wedding fashion designers in Kerpen."

(The "German" word Dressman is an example of Denglisch, the sometimes odd mixing of Deutsch and Englisch.)
