It's been a hot second since I've blogged. Not sure why and not sure where to start again. I have a couple of things floating around in my head but nothing solid. So I shall write my ideas, if you have a preference vote in comments, or just keep continue reading whatever I put out there.
1. Thinking about starting to incorporate some of my weight loss (mis)adventures into this blog. There are so many topics and things I can talk about. The last 3 years of my life since having gastric bypass surgery have been a wee bit crazy.
2. Under that subject, I thought about writing a companion guide to weight MANAGEMENT after weight loss surgery. Quickly losing 100 lbs in 15 months is easy, no one tells you the hard part is keeping it off.
3. Again, under the same subject a guide for spouses, friends, and family of weight loss/bariatric surgery patients. In these three years, I've lost more friends than I've gained and had many, if not all of my relationships change. No one tells you the hardest part about this whole process is the mental BS.
4. Ahh, mental BS. Yes, I could write about coming back from the brink. How an unlikely combination helped me feel like I was getting my life back.
5. Ohh, I could just continue at status quo (which obviously isn't much lately!) with putting up random crap that I see on the internet. (which I will follow up this post with....)
Earlier this week a new website launched just in time for your New Year's Resolutions. That is, if your New Years Resolutions include getting sweet revenge on some of your worst enemies.
There are only a couple places where glitter is fully acceptable -- on a child's "artwork" or a stripper's "assets." Glitter is not recommended for any use on a full grown woman, and not at all recommended on a full grown man. And I don't know how much experience you have with glitter, but my experience is vast and I will tell you one thing about the stuff - it has an unnatural ability to last FOREVER. Not only does this shit just stick to you, it randomly shows up in places you never expected for it to be and for what seems like years after the initial contact with the little shards of glass (Fun Fact, glitter used to be made up of ground glass and the "glitter" used for reflective highway striping still is made of ground glass. But, arts and crafts glitter these days is made from painted or aluminized (fancy word!!) shredded plastic or paper).
Utilizing glitter ability to last forever and stick to everything, a new website has emerged called
ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com. The website will send your "friend" a note explaining why they have received the bounty of glitter and only costs around $8.00 per order. For just $8.00 your "friend" will be reminded of your hatred or the way they wronged you for years to come. I told you, glitter lasts forever and will randomly show up in random places for years after your initial glitter bomb.
Sadly, the company, launched by Matthew Carter in Australia has received in excess of 2,000 orders since the website launched on Monday. Obviously unprepared for the onslaught of popularity, and has publicly requested that his "customers" STOP ordering and has discontinued orders at this time. He tweeted:
“I launched this website as a bit of a joke not expecting this level of attention. Heck, I launched this website while I was on holiday!

He tweeted: I must apologize to Mr. Carter, but he apparently has hit on seriously amazing idea. So suck it up buttercup and stock up on your product, because the approximate profit on each package is anywhere from $2-$4. But, sounds like the idiot is willing to not only pass it on, but provide all materials to another owner:
“Hi guys, I’m the founder of this website. Please stop buying this horrible glitter product — I’m sick of dealing with it. Sincerely, Mat.”
“I launched this website as a bit of a joke not expecting this level of attention. Heck, I launched this website while I was on holiday!
“For the past few days it has been stressful dealing with all of the media attention and even more so because this was only intended to be a small side project. It’s taken on a life of its own, and I want to watch it continue to grow under a new owner. Each purchase is worth $9.99AUD. I’ve calculated that the total cost of shipping an envelope filled with the glitter & the A4 letter to most places in the world from Australia ranges anywhere from $2-$4. That leaves $5.99 to $7.99 profit on each order. Somewhat overwhelmed… I decided to take the ability to order down, despite receiving thousands of emails & tweets from people wanting to purchase.”
