@Timshel And you. Love you for this.

So...there is an entire school of linguistics that says there is no such thing as correct or incorrect -- there is simply what people do. Preference appears to be without the "t". Doesn't mean the other is wrong. The Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary also says there's no evidence that the +t variant is "spelling…

Okay...I do not mean to derail, but I definitely just read the part as "never had a child, never eaten them"...annnnnnnnd yes, in my head concocted something about eating children. My sister was a big fan of ice cream when she was breastfeeding twins. Oatmeal is supposed to be good for your supply, so there were also a lot…

Yup. Usually right before I hit the ground after falling 3+ meters from the top of the bouldering route I was trying to scale when my sweaty hands slipped. But then I usually blame it on my climbing partner's poor advice (he is 8 inches taller than me, probably 20 pounds lighter, the *kitten*). Nothing like ducking out of…

Not sure where you're located...I live in Germany and had a DEXA scan done a couple of years ago after searching ages to find a place that would do it (one of the many, many, bone-density-scanning clinics also did BF% analysis). I talked to the doctor at the clinic, and she said that it's frowned upon in Germany and hardly…

This. Although I don't remember mine as being very loud. I had one two years ago (in addition to an ultrasound, colonoscopy, and about 4 other procedures that I'm not sure of the English name for) in order to diagnose unexplained stabbing abdominal pains, so also abdomen/intestine region. The main thing I hated was being…

Hey all, thanks for the responses! As morbid as it sounds, this is more of a "find my body" kind of thing than a "what time will you be home for dinner?" thing. (Assuming, as some of you thoughtfully pointed out, that the mountain lions/crows/coyotes have left enough for identification purposes.) My neighborhood is little…
-
Verdammt...you beat me to it.
-
Hm...yeah, I had the exact same thought. And in fact, I had a similar one about ironing, except it went like "Life is too short to waste it ironing." Favorite "chore" is definitely cooking. Raking leaves/gardening is a close second. Least favorite: picking up after my sister. Since she's having two kids in another few…

Love my Vibrams. Absolutely love 'em. When there is ice/snow on the ground and Vibrams are not a good idea, I also have a pair of Brooks trail runners that I love. (Not quite as much as my Vibrams...but almost.)
-
Been doing it for a little over 6 months now...love it. Absolutely kitten love it. You like bouldering? I like you. (Am sad that I just moved and there isn't a hall especially near the new house, but will be exploring a bit further afield soon.)

These guys: John Diva and the Rockets of Love. 80's hair metal cover band (yes, that's right, the BEST CONCERT EVER was a cover band. I'll own it.) that plays festivals throughout Germany. But they're Americans. Really. They swear. I have never been to shows that are more straight-up fun, and they're amazingly good…
-
Ha, not only did I read all of that, but I identified with all of that. I don't have a great solution for you, I'm sorry to say -- my life still revolves around food. Vacations are often planned around local food/finding amazing new restaurants. On the other hand, I do also love outdoorsy/active stuff (bouldering, biking,…

Yaaaaaay!!!! GOAT! My day is now complete. (which, given that it's only 8:15 a.m., is that much more awesome.) Goal? Hmm...practice choreography for our workshop next Monday, perhaps...
-
I just clicked on this thread because I read, "What are your goats for today" and was really excited at what this might entail. There are no goats. I am now a little sad. My goal: find some goats. (Already hit my fitness goal, which was "Go to the bouldering hall even though no one else is going today and conquer that one…

Get thee to a doctor. Or at least get thee to the telephone to call a medical hotline and make sure it's nothing serious. Dizziness to the point of movement impairment isn't something to screw around with.

I love cottage cheese in pretty much all its iterations (okay, except for low-sodium -- not a fan of that). However, I'm finding this discussion pretty amusing. Where I live (Germany), there are 3 levels of cottage cheese: full fat 20%, low fat 4%, or nonfat. Had 'em all...don't get me wrong, 20% is pretty amazing, but for…

correlation =/= causation Vegans (at least all of the ones I know) lead a very different lifestyle from the majority of the population, and not just in terms of diet. Spurious comparison.
-
You COULD...but I sure as hell wouldn't advise it. Just for comparison: I am 5'7", fairly active, and I would cry if I followed your meal plan. For a couple of reasons. 1) Something is off with those numbers. My BMR is right around 1500-1550, so yours is presumably in that ballpark. 6 months of eating under your BMR = no…

Dunno... I'm all for the even year hopefulness, but I came all the way back from Germany to see my Giants for spring training in AZ and they got nothing but housed the whole week...I'm not so optimistic yet. On a side note: Dodgers fans at training = SO MUCH NICER than Dodgers fans normally. Even at Glendale stadium. Who…

I feel like this thread should contain a "NO JUDGEMENT" disclaimer in the title. Full disclosure: I'm judging after reading some of these lists. Sorry!! I tried not to!! And I love everyone anyway...

Funny, I looked this up in the airport just this week...best article I found on the subject: citygirlbites.com/blog/archives/8663

Like both Zengieff and like this badarsched lady I can also crush man's head like sparrow's egg betveen tighs... I guess this makes me a "bad guy" (or, well, girl, in my case). I think we should make jackets.

New favorite: Twisted Thistle IPA. Who knew that the Scots could brew beer... Warstein is about 30 minutes from here...everyone I know from Warstein won't drink it and thinks it's crap. They all drink Veltin's :D Disclaimer: I have no problem with Warsteiner one way or another...I'll happily drink it if it's on offer, but…

I'm not diabetic and I'm not overly well-informed on the topic, but my old landlord (also a good personal friend) was; he regulated his sugars with pills, not with injections, which I gather is a relatively mild form. However, I also know that there were weeks when he was active in summer (gardening, Nordic walking) where…
-
This is an awesomely relevant topic. (I just actually watched that whole youtube clip, whereas I'd normally tune out of that kind of thing after about a minute. I got chills down my spine watching that guy get thrown on the ground by his "girlfriend" and no one did a damn thing...and as soon as he shoved back he got the…

I live and work outside the US and am the "only American in the village", so to speak...you can guess how much I get to hear about this. Guy at work gave me this one: https://youtube.com/watch?v=8lGH_DvtBEM Scarily brilliant...

Heh...yeah, this is funny-notfunny. I'll throw in a gem I heard from my boss the other day: Oh, Frau B., I know YOU didn't have X either when you applied, but you didn't need it -- the quality of your application spoke for itself. But actually we want to raise our standards here in the department.
