    Next month's vacation. Still trying to finalize a destination. Yes, I am always doing things last minute.

    I just read that it's so hot in Phoenix, AZ that they can't fly planes. I think I remember @motorsheen being from 'round those parts. Hope you guys are staying cool.

    I ran away from home to the mountains of northern California.

    It was hot as balls up here too.

    Heading back to phoenix this afternoon and it's supposed to be 121 degrees.

    That's a lil warm. ...

    My neighbor told me, "You should let Mr.SoAndSo mow your yard. You don't need to be on that mower. It's dangerous and you could get hurt."

    I told him you don't have to have a dick to operate a lawn mower.

    I had a similar experience with a used car salesman. I was interested in an older Jeep Grand Cherokee and asked him to test drive it. He said "oh you won't like that car". I asked if there was anything mechanically wrong with it and what was the reason I wouldn't like it? He said, "it's a standard transmission". So I said, "Oh, so since I don't have a dick, I don't know how or would not like to drive a stick?" He turned beet red and told me he'd grab the keys for me. I told him never mind, I was going to go elsewhere to buy my vehicle!

    Similar story ..I bought a Ford FPV GT sedan..she was a beauty..muscle car ..bonnet bump though had under bonnet cold air induction..modified exhaust ..black with red cobra behind the front wheels ..

    But after hearing like a zillion times other guys saying to my hub " hey mate why you letting the missus drive your car" I had a sticker made up for the back "Im HERS ..not HIS" lol

    I also had "Don't bother you'll lose" but thats another story lol

    This happens all the time with my jeep. Everyone always assumes it's HIS jeep. Dude, I've had the jeep longer than the man. Maybe I should get a bumper sticker that says that.

    My favorite of those stories is the time that some guy walked up to my husband, saying, "TJ?" And my husband said, "No, I'm Ruben."

    :D

    There's a lady in my office neighborhood driving a monstrous Cherokee fitted for serious off-road-ing, and she has a bumper sticker that says' "Silly Boy! Jeeps are for GIRLS!!"...She's a barista a the local Starbucks, but her father, uncle, brothers and cousins are all local mechanics. She does most of the work on the Jeep herself. I call her Mona Lisa (Vito)...

    Well...I have about $19 dollars in my checking account. At least they can super size their meal at Wendy's.

    The tide of people looking for quick fixes, miracle pills, miracle foods, magical motivation they cant find within themselves and frankly dangerous ideas on what to do with their health and dieting in the help sections is truly overwhelming.

    You try to be helpful, but half the time they dont even want to hear the truth.

    Hell, don't waste good money on them. Give them a cheeseburger from McD's for $1.19 & a free cup of water & tell them they better talk fast while they eat.

    That I didn't have enough to eat today but I'm not hungry. I worked out pretty good. I drank a lot of water. I don't want to force myself to eat. But I don't want to be in that "starvation mode" because of my deficit! :s

    A few low days here and there aren't going to put you in "starvation mode" it takes several days of barely anything to eat for metabolism start to slow and even then it will still be awhile before you hit true "starvation mode". Don't sweat it, if you aren't hungry, you aren't hungry. As long as you're hitting target most days, you will be just fine.

    I wonder why people start threads asking questions and seem to never return.

    Are they just reading the answers?

    Maybe they don't want to answer questions when asked or participate?

    Did they do it just to start some topic of conversation for our benefit?

    I picture a conversation with someone who asks a question then just sits there, stone faced, non responsive, while people talk at them


    Don't mind me. I'll just be over here sitting in the corner to see if anyone comes up with an answer for this... :)

    Feeling a little awkward that a fitness pal I previously deleted just sent me a friend request and I accepted. Not sure if they remember me, so I don't want to send the obligatory "Thanks, I'm bla bla bla" message

    Is that obligatory? Because I haven't been doing that at all.

    Turns out - I'm just as clueless and awkward online as I am IRL.

    Haha. Well, maybe not obligatory, just polite.
