21.0. "Support Networks" by SRFSUP::GOLDSMITH (My computers, audio? Only Digital!) Sun Apr 26 1987 15:00

    
    The idea of having a non-VAXnotes support network is a great one.
    
    There is however one problem. This file is used by Digital Employees
    around the world. So getting together could be a problem...
    
    There is an alternative, "The next best thing to being there..",
    the phone. Why not help support our favorite long distance companies.
    
    Let's use this note the exchange phone numbers, and time of calling
    limitations. By doing this, we can call one another if we should
    ever need help. Reply to this note in the following format:

    Familiar with eating sensibly.
    
    	On April 20 I weighed 230 pounds. Today May 14 ( my birthday ) I
    weigh 222 pounds. This was accomplished by not eating junk food at night
    while watching TV, eating only a cup of ice cream at a sitting instead
    of three cups, not getting desert at lunch, not buying Twinkies
    and candy bars from the machine ......

    	An interesting thing happened yesterday. I had an argument with
    someone and while I was all worked up I had a very strong urge to
    eat cake or pie. I let my mind focus on that thought and analyzed
    it. It was just like the cartoons with the angel and devil hovering
    over the cartoon character, one saying eat it, the other saying
    don't eat it. Now I know how to analyze the 'want to eat' verses
    the 'need to eat' that all the weight workshops talk about.
    
    	Now instead of telling my wife that the dryer is shrinking my
    pants I can tell her that it is stretching them.
