  1. I mean, you know this, but your body weight can fluctuate 5, maybe even ten pounds, right? Ive been at a plateau for three weeks now, with my weight ranging about 4 pounds at any given time. If it’s at the higher end one day, I don’t like it but I know I’m not suddenly getting fatter. Same with the low end and getting skinnier.
  2. How many children are you willing to sacrifice to the NRA so you don't have to be afraid of scary "government creep"? 100 more? 1000? Or do you really just not give a fuck?
  3. We've been friends with this couple (kids same age at school) for years and vacationed with them 7-8 times, spent many weekends and nights together, etc. On any and all those occasions, I was going to end up drunk. Not slobbery, wobbly drunk, but with a full head of alcohol. I assumed the other dad was similar as we'd spend hours at night drinking by the campfire, beach, RV, whatever. After I quit, I've seen this same couple have one glass of wine at dinner or split a bottle of wine when they come over. I was blown away. Similar to others, "what's the fucking point?" Then, "is this how they always drink? Shiiiiiiiitt." I don't know, I was always too busy on my own drinking to note how much others were drinking.
  4. Shiiiiiit, it ain’t a maze. Just show up ten minutes early and you’ll be fine. Watch your elevator banks. Main campus is a bitch to get to. Tell them patient no. 2144027 said to suck his balls.
  5. Catch you on the other side, brother. We'll all end up with you one way or another.
  6. If a conservative Supreme Court can toss Roe on a whim, a liberal one can toss ar-15 and other dumbass guns to the bottom of the ocean. Years ago Warren Burger called out the NRA’s interpretation of the 2nd as a fraud. It would not be that difficult to craft an opinion better reasoned than Dobbs to make most of not all guns illegal. Especially with the Court being just an disrespected partisan tool these days. We just need to hope for some untimely deaths for the religious fundies looking to install Jesus as president.
  7. I've always heard (most) prostate cancer is something you die with, not from.
  8. That's fucking awesome. I was kicked free from colon cancer surveillance after five years with a similar protocol. Treatment, then saw my onc twice a year for labs (esp. CEA) and had yearly CT scans. Then they said chances of recurrence are the same as you getting it in the first place so bye bye. Year 4-5 should be the best year- chances of recurrence are looow after 3-4 years. It's great not having a single thing on MyChart. Congrats.
  9. I may or may not have had a giant donut from VooDoo and a chocolate milk for lunch a few times in the first three months.
  10. Man, all you weirdos getting cancer. That's just strange.
  11. Kinda wishing some dipshit idiot didn’t bother to throw a fucking strike with the bases juiced, full count and tied in the 8th. This irks me.
  12. What kind of dumbshit asshole walks in the go ahead run in the 8th? Jesus fucking Christ.
  13. Well, sure, I’m not going to quit w/o talking to my doc. He originally wanted me on it for a minimum of three months. Last time I saw him I said I wanted to keep on it because everything was going well and getting better. So I kept up with it. Now I’m starting to thinks about trying to get off all drugs and have been wondering what eliminating Wellbutrin may do to my day-to-day brain chemistry. I’ve already been phased off blood pressure meds and naltrexone with my docs approval and direction. Wellbutrin is all that is left.
  14. I have been wondering about this for a while now. I was put on 100 mg Wellbutrin ER 2x/day the same day I was put on Librium, the same day I quit drinking at he beginning of last December. I was only on the librium 8-9 days. I have never before been prescribed any mood altering drugs besides an occasional, as-needed xanax (mostly flying, I fucking hate flying) and have no idea what the Wellbutrin is doing for me. I'm doing fine on the drinking front and have been thinking about ditching the Wellbutrin, but at the same time I've got a good thing going and do not want to mess that up. What happens when you go of them? All I can relate to is drunk every night me and sober with Wellbutrin me.
  15. Her crazy persona is an act. She’s very smart.
  16. Amazingly, those appear to be Euro-rednecks.
  17. UConn has some Charles Barkley Victoria’s no secret cheerleaders.
  18. I spent some time in Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama the last couple of years and it's fat people all over the place. Just an eye opening number of fat families. Fat parents with fat kids and fat grandparents in scooters and wheelchairs.

    I just had a donut for lunch.
  20. Less than 20 years ago there were crack houses in the Washington corridor.
  21. I wonder if you are statistically "safer" carrying a gun in public or wearing a football helmet whenever you get in a car.
  22. I own six guns and have never carried. My wife hhhhhaaaaates, and I mean hates, guns and made me send them to my parents' house when we got married. I had no issue with that as, despite living in Housotn, I figure I'm much more likely to accidently shoot one of my balls off than actually need it - which has proven true for over twenty years. Plus, I'm not scared of my own shadow.
  23. Where is the “boring” sound effect for the throw overs?

    Ah, that’s because a lot of former fats around here were just being lazy fats so they assume that getting lazy will I work for all fats.

    At 46, I just went under 200 lbs for the first time since law school. Similar formula. Quit drinking, started eating a little bit better. Went from 233 to 198 since January 1. My app says just quitting drinking has resulted in a net loss of 91,575 calories this year.
