I am a creature of habit. Three day weekends are a killer for my second graders. I have to retrain them on everything!

It seems be a "yo-yo" kind of thing, which seems normal. I would try and accept the 2nd "yo" (gaining), while trying to focus on the 1st "yo" (losing). If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

<channelling the "Dead BIshop" skit from Monty Python> "Society is to blame!" Is anyone every held accountable for anything anymore?

...about an hour south of Houston on the coast.

Mine is old and grey, but qualifies.

Raspberry Ketones are only effective when used in conjunction with a combination of green coffee beans and green tea capsules. The three pills should be ground into a fine powder, mixed with pure lemon juice, and drank under the light of a full moon at midnight on the 4th Tuesday of each month.

I think I read somewhere that "The Rock" (professional wrestler and "actor") has an obese BMI. As with most things, it can be a good tool, but not a "one size fits all" method of determinating a person's body characteristics. For me, I am "undertall"!

Some random thoughts... If someone is really offended by something this minor, they probably have other issues with which to deal. As a side note, Crayola used to make a peach colored crayon called "flesh". Should overweight people be called "gravity enhanced"?

The Flower Gardens are great...a bit of a trip out, but worth the journey.

Another (possible) factor to consider is the air-conditioning. I live about an hour away from Houston on the coast and the summers here are absolutely brutal. (...but we never have to shovel snow and can wear shorts in January!)

Here's an old, grey beard.

The "entitlement” mentality and the abandonment of personal responsibility.

This seems to be a lot of saber rattling by the North Koreans. They tried this back in the 90's and the U.S. kowtowed and sent them money and food. I suspect this is more of the same. Communism sucks. WWGPD? What would General Patton do?

Linda Carter as Wonder Woman in the late 70's. (possibly there were other reasons for this selection)

I am a (long suffering) San Diego Padre fan, but last night's Rangers game was excellent...right until that ball went between Darvish's leg.

Texas coast here...near Houston. We have a neat scuba park nearby...as well as the gulf.

Lutheran - Missori Synod

I prefer to weigh myself on Venus! That's a quick way to weigh 9% less! Jupiter, however, stinks! I weigh nearly two and half times my weight there!

Here is a photo from when I was much younger. That was the last race I ever won!

This is an ex-parrot!

Early dismissal at school today! To quote the Monty Python version of the famous Rene Decartes quote... "I drink (a little bit), therefore I am."

There are no easy choices, but option two is the best in my opinion. Anything we can do to help this generation of children have a better sense of balance in their lives is a good thing. All too often, we try to insultate kids from the bad parts fo life "for their own good". (...and then we wonder why 30 year old "men" are…

Texas here. I am guessing the state of denial will win. (...possibly the state of confusion.)

If you drink more than one doet soft drink a decade, your liver will spontaneously combust! (Sorry I have been reading too many posts on MFP!) I personally recommend Pepsi Max for those that choose to indulge in diet soft drinks.

Snafubar Situation Normal All Fouled Up Beyond All Reality

In a perfect world, I would select neither. I am at school by 6:30 every morning and try to be in bed NLT 9:00 each night. Sadly, my old bones do not like me sleeping in past 7:00 on the weekends.

"Let's eat grandma!" "Let's eat, grandma!"

Ribs are always a good choice!

Nerd Alert! When I saw "foxes", I immediately thought of... "Now are the foxes!"
