My dear scale, Old Faithful, was laid to rest yesterday.  After 15 years of weighing people and suitcases, I purchased a new Eat Smart scale.  After setting it up and doing my first weigh-in, the new scale has been dubbed the name, Jake (paying homage to Jake from the State Farm commercials.  Wife - "Who are you talking to in the middle of the night?"  Husband: "Jake from State Farm." Wife grabs phone and asks, "What are you wearing, Jake from State Farm?"  Jake: " Ah..Khakis".  Wife: "She sounds hideous, this Jake from State Farm"  Husband:  "well, she's a guy, so....")

Jake weighed me 5 pounds heavier. Like the commerical, that's hideous, I thought.  Stupid scale, silly name.  Uhfortunately, the new scale is accurate.  Bummer!  Guess I have my work cut out for me. 

Yep, a silly post!
