George,

 GP> She's not wrong.  Technically a weight-loss diet is just ONE tyope of
 GP> diet -- a weight-gain diet is also, technically, a diet.

  Reminds me of a joke where the woman kept her husbands cremated ashes in
a container in the house. Well, a friend thought it was an ash tray, and he
kept putting his cigarette ashes in there. A few weeks later, the widow took
a look, and said "George, you've been dead 3 months, but you've been putting
on weight". <G>

 GP> "There's room for all God's creatures. .
 GP> . . RIGHT NEXT TO THE MASHED POTATOES!"

  WHAT??!! NO GRAVY??!! <G>

 GP> Don't forget the 'A' Food Diet: you eat howevermuch you want, bt only
 GP> of foods beginning with the letter 'A':

 GP> Apples
 GP> Avocados
 GP> Artichokes
 GP> A pie
 GP> A cake
 GP> A dozen cookies

  Got to top it off with dessert. :)

 >   Quite so. I prefer the Mounds, but don't care for Almond Joy...does that
 > mean I'm not nuts??

 GP> That jingle couplet is still in my brain from the '70s. . . :P

 GP> Joy to the world...
 GP> Jot to the fishes in the deep blue sea. . .
 GP> Joy to you & me. . .

  When my late wife took our dachshund next door to the neighbor, she had
her own Brussels-Griffon, and another neighbor had dropped off her poodle.
My wife called it "A Three Dog Night-Mare". <G>

 GP> Q: How do you measure the speed of joy?...
 GP> A: In smiles per hour!

  Too little of that in the world nowadays.

 GP> A woman goes up to her boyfriend and says "honey, I have some bad news
 GP> for you. I'm pregnant". He looks her with tears of joy and pride in his
 GP> eyes and says ...
 GP> "Hi pregnant, I'm dad"

  All righty, then.

 GP> One of the joys of parenthood is to snuggle into your child’s bed
 GP> during a thunderstorm to make sure they’re not scared.
 GP> But my daughter and her husband insist they can manage on their own.

  I don't mind the distant rumbles of thunder...I just don't like the
ones right outside your window from a close strike.

Daryl
