I saw the title of this thread and all I could think of is that rancid grammar school joke: Q: What is the nuns' favorite exercise? A: Deep knee-bends in the cucumber patch. Please pray for me, especially you PCS, being that you frequent Latin Mass. My answer is the elliptical cross-trainer. About 30 minutes + another 10 on an inclined treadmill = 500 calories. That's a Big Mac, though I don't eat burgers any more. I know HOW to swim. But I feel beat after 5 to 10 laps. On an elliptical, or biking outside, I can keep going much longer. Never understood that....

More so than a tech-y, you look like someone who might chip away at marble to make statues in Carrara.

Not calling you on it because you didn't invent it, but the term "starter marriage" makes me cringe. At least, if they got out with no kids, then they can look back and say "whew." It's also so reminiscent of those jaded and calloused "Sex and the City" snatches...you find those types in NY, LA or SF. Yeah, they have the female plumbing but they're as tough as, or tougher than, guys and have a "notch on the lipstick case" mentality. I can't stand kids and have never wanted any, neither my own nor someone else's. How did this thread derail? Wasn't this all about food? And then how foods changed the ejaculate? Isn't it pineapple, kiwi, strawberries and all that stuff that sits at the beginning or ending of the buffet or brunch line? Moltie: I like that LeMans variant in your current sig...75 to 77? Which powerplant?

I don't know. But you stand as the site's feistiest horndog (I mean, if your car is "the lil' white hoe' "...)

Yeah, there was a drunk guy on the overnight train to the Algarve in '97 calling out the stations between Evora and Tunes OVER AND OVER...a friend of yours? Response to thread: hospital

This is tougher than the tobacco issue. Tobacco is inherently bad for you. We have to have food and water. That someone can't regulate it is a self-control thing. Some people are fat as teenagers and fat as adults. Some are thin/normal and morph into fat people. Very few go the other way. Metabolism changes. I used to be always be about 10 lbs. underweight as a teenager. I am now anywhere from 5 to 12 lbs. overweight at any given time. We can't dictate metabolism, stress levels, body chemistry, etc. We can, however, tax the hell out of tobacco, alcohol and beer, none of which are even necessary. Maybe we can put a height/weight test at the entrance to buffets. Those are my nemesis. However, some people shouldn't even be allowed near one.

My sympathy goes out to you, your Gradmother and all of your family for your loss, especially at a time when the holidays are at hand and you are wrapping up a semester of school. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I was moved that you had such positive thoughts about your Grandfather and how he shaped your life. That will be a source of strength and inspiration for you. God bless all of you at this time.

Where are those other people now? The guy on the left is kind of "out there." The chicks looks like partiers.

hot tub We had this earthy outside consultant lady that would do some minor work for us...some of the guys used to muse "Hot tubs, Big Sur and free love" (amongst ourselves and while having lunch somewhere)

Have you ever noticed Limburger cheese smells just like baby poop? I was always told it was nasty stuff, but then when I picked up a loaf of it in the deli case and took a whiff through the packaging, I about passed out...

Granolas/hippies name their children weird $h!. It almost ensures these kids are marginalized if they later want to go mainstream and CORRECTLY "deviate" from their parents. I was once up in the Sierras at a lake (during the summer) and this ugly hippie douche bag called out for her (probably illegitimate) daughter: "Sequoia....Sequoia"

I've always been on the edge! Seriously, I hate the downtown cores of cities, always having lived in Bellevue (SEA), Dunwoody (ATL), Roseville (SAC) and never where the bohemian dorks live. If I had remained in LA, it would have been Woodland Hills or Orange County. Bring on the rail and I will use it. I do now.

The first and foremost thing should be that the vehicles are of high quality and will always be engineered as if $ 1.69 is in the rear-view mirror. That means HIGH MPG and bringing on the juice (electricity). Ok, having lost Oldsmobile, which i accepted even though it meant losing the Intrigue, keeping the cars at Chevy-Buick-Cadillac is ok with me. It mirrors what's going on at Ford. There should also only be one truck division. Everything else needs to go. Having Pontiac as a "niche" will be interesting, with the Eurasian imports (Opel stuff, the Japanese stuff) coming in through this venue (who knows?)...where will the outlets for Pontiac be?
