I'm such a cheese nut, I think I'm part mouse. Change the crappy processed American out for a good quality cheddar (I'm partial to Irish or Welsh), and it's only 116 calories for that same ounce of cheese. Also, try swapping your sugar in your coffee with stevia. And cut WAY back on the cream. Also, make your own iced tea…

Target for Champion pants & sports bras, Spira for tanks & tees. They're the only things that keep me cool enough in the summer and they are never more than $10-15. We have an outlet store here that stocks them at great prices, though I'm having trouble finding them online. DSW has proven to have a better selection of…

As a kid, I was certifiable for INSISTING and preaching that there were to be 9 Star Wars movies. I still want those therapists to recant their opinions of my mental state. Unless we're just going to pretend the prequels don't exist because they were horrible. Disclaimer: Trekkie for life.

The Dark Crystal.

Not anymore... I work from my dining room now.

Going to the gym (if they are open... I have to check) and sitting around playing Diablo 3. And finishing up the work on my home.

I usually pass for 28-31. I'm not. And I really wish the 20 year olds would get the clue that they are half their age. One of them? I'm older than their MOM! >.<

Then the problem always exists between the chair and the keyboard. :D

Thank you for proving after all that I *am* indeed a Geek. :D

My favorite one ever (except for the Charlie Brown mashup...)

I've been lifting for 5 years now, but I started when I was only 113 pounds after an ugly divorce and severe illness... it took me 3 years to gain up to 130 pounds. So I only started lifting progressively heavier about a year and change ago and getting very serious about it. I also took a couple of months to recover from a…

7+ years... because that's how it works out. I have issues. And I've been single since my divorce in 2008, but things were falling apart before then. Yeah... I just can't let anyone in I guess.

At this rate, I'd be just as worried about STDs as pregnancy. No safe sex in a non-long term, non-committed relationship? And they wonder why the heck we need Sex Ed in school. Both syph & gon have gone drug-resistant. SERIOUSLY. Protect yourself and live a long life, worry about bratlings later.

You post about starving yourself by not eating indefinitely with a goal weight of 85 pounds at 18 years old? Yeah - your personal issues matter.... You want to kill yourself slowly, you need help. It's not OUR issue, it's yours, and you got called out on it. SERIOUSLY?! Other people are concerned and you get all butthurt?…

The good thing about latex is that it can mold things into the 'right' places, even though it still shows everything off. When in doubt - accessories, my friend. It can make all the difference in both appearance and confidence. I *wish* I could wear it, only because I am terribly allergic. *sigh* I'll always have my PVC…

While I think I'm a fairly good mix of all of them, I know in my heart that I'm a Fan Theorist. I actually own the Doctor Who Technical Guide and a build it yourself Sonic Screwdriver. And have spent hours discussing the various theories and timelines between Miracle Day and Series 7... oh, and the evolution of the Crack…

You got me beat on the home server level, but I built my first Linux kernel in 1992. But then I moved on to Solaris/AIX and manage big iron in data centers. I just left a job managing some several dozen pedabytes of storage and building out a 10gig replication network between two states. I specialize in business continuity…

I lift because it makes me feel like I can conquer anything. I also work with mostly men (always have), and I no longer have to ask them to move floor tiles or rack a 5U box or anything. I can do it all on my own... though sometimes I do need support because of the leverage involved if the pieces are too big (awkward, not…

This would be mine, as well. The fully loaded supercar they just came out with is going for about $150k here in the US, and can beat the pants off of the Germans and Italians. (ok, yes, I watch a metric butt-ton-load of Top Gear & Fast & Loud) I am a bigtime car nut, and have worked on them since I could hold a wrench. I…

I'm an RPG fan, also platformers and adventure games. I built a gaming rig just for Diablo 3 and I have a PS3 and a Vita... I'm currently replaying Diablo 3, getting ready for the expansion, a lot of which they just rolled into the actual game prior to release. However, with South Park: Stick of Truth FINALLY coming out...…

StarBlazers. I just found the entire series on DVD last year - I've been looking for it for the better part of 25 years. :D

And they wonder why I stay in the women's only area when I'm not with my trainer. Except I'm out-training it again and trying to get up the gumption to go to the big boy side... again. >.< I will get there, stupid anxiety!

I absolutely love this show so much. And something is a bit off about Marty. I think the next two episodes are going to be really telling. I actually delay my Sunday night watching of The Walking Dead til I'm done with True Detective. (yes, thank you, no commercials cuz, DVR!)

I get mine at Bath & Body Works. I have it in Cashmere Glow & Beautiful Day. I think they make it in pretty much every scent these days. I use it during the summer a lot!

This was so me yesterday... my profile pic and older ticker will have to do for now...

The Browncoat Society at Dragoncon had the Aim to Misbehave babydolls for a couple of years, but they sell out within an hour or two of the dealer rooms opening. We tried!! :( That said, I LOVE this site and now have a reason to buy the lot. :D

Indeed. I love this post so much.

I put them in my Italian sauces... with cannellini beans, tomatoes and garlic. NOM! Sometimes chicken.

This is the first Valentine's Day in years that I actually plan on doing something other than hiding in bed. I'm finishing up the work week and then heading out to do some shopping for birthdays and going by the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for hot cocoa. Then home and in bed fairly early for a leg day in the morning,…

If you have Asian markets, you might try and see if they have the wasabi root that they grate it from. When I do sushi at home (which is very rare, but I do), I will go to Pacific Mercantile (a Japanese market here in downtown Denver) and get the fish and the root. There is also a special grater for it that I have, but…
