    Also he's been wearing the same Navy issued boots since basic. He's in the middle of his second 4 year contract. Let that sink in.

    Well, if you were a good wife you would be cleaning and deodorizing them regularly. Maybe after you clean up after dinner while he's relaxing in front of the fire?

    yeah... pull it together already.

    I'm such a bad wife! I must turn in my apron and vacuum then clean 100 dishes and sweep 8 flights of stairs as penance for my follies. Only then will I be worthy of my husband.

    Also I will do yoga as I do my penance. I heard it makes you taller.

    The key is maintaining a consistent calcium deficit, but not going too low, or you'll go into brittle mode.

    Pssssh. It's called "osteoporosis mode."

    Amateur.

    can someone tell me exactly which pilates exercises lengthen the shin bones? because I'm sick of having to drive cars with the seat in the forward-most position and still having to stretch to reach the pedals

    Make sure you do your penance while he is at work, or out drinking all night with his friends. You must be readily available to take care of his much more important needs when he around.

    I'm sure there was a medieval torture device that was the opposite of the wrack. I'll do some research for you and get back to you.

    Leg Extensions, Barbell Lunges, and Leg Presses

    4 sets and 8-12 reps

    after that move it up to

    12-15 and sometimes even high reps 15-20

    switch it up, go heavy one week. go high volume the next week

    What if you just lengthened the rest of your body to match?

    Like do pilates, but not with your legs. Only arm and core pilates? Don't work your legs at all during your workout.....then your arms and torso will get lengthened but your legs will stay proportional?
    Then I'd get taller. That's gross.

    C4 works best
    Hyneman is that you? Oh wait, that's, "when in doubt, C4." Nevermind.

    Can I have what you manage to lose? Cause I could use an inch of two; I'm not saying being short is awful but honestly it's kind of disgusting and makes me lack grace, you know? Also I can't see the top of my refrigerator.


    It's not your legs that are making you lack grace.....it's your butt :wink:

    This makes sense; my butt is considerable AND I'm very clumsy. The logic seems to check out. I'm going to go find my mom and make her take these genes backs right now.

    You don't want to see the top of your refrigerator. Unless you are a 50s stay-at-home-wife and you actually clean up there.

    Wait. I'm confused. Which thread is this?

    But my husband hides my allowance up there!

    Well, ask him to hide it in the bread drawer. Then, you'll find it when you're making him a sammich.

    a sammich? REALLY!?! He needs a hot meal prepared by the time he gets home from work, and don't forget to remove his shoes for him!
    My slippers pipe and sherry are due, at six, oh, two.
    Oh, consistent is the life I lead.
