Yes. 19 years and counting. HYE bought something and returned it because you broke it?

Chalk it up to "stupid things young people do". That was a long time ago... That said, smaller lobsters have great flavor! :-D

Multiple times @vasairiah. Still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

@tigger... downer question... yes, in my teenage years. HYE had the hots for a relative?

@vasairiah No but it sounds fantastic. I have gone fishing and had fresh lobster on the boat. They were too small to take back to shore. :) HYE caught a billfish?

@vasairiah I've had some epic water skiing crashes. I used to barefoot in my youth (see picture in my profile). Boat speeds were typically about 35-38mph. Catch a toe and it's like having an instant Novocain shot in the face. Last time I tried to barefoot, I was out of shape and attempting a dock start to show off for a…

@vasairiah I tried once but the Gendarme wouldn't let me touch the Venus de Milo. :-D @tiggerhammon Diving off the back of a TVA damn is the closest I've come to cliff diving. HYE gone noodling for catfish?

I have flown a plane. My dad was a private pilot. I was his copilot when he wanted to take a cat nap. :) Never skinny dipped in a hotel pool - not is it on my bucket list. HYE jumped off a really tall bridge?

@vasairiah Yes. A lady side swiped my parked car last year and drove off. A bystander wrote down a description of the car and her tag number. Oddly, I found her parked a few blocks away near the police station. I asked her if she'd hit my car - she played dumb despite the big stripe down the side of her car. Showed her the…

Especially "Claire" from The Breakfast Club. My girlfriend from the late 80's, early 90's was sometimes mistaken for Molly when we'd go out on dates. I married her. :)

Amy Adams. Redhead. :) Or maybe Molly Ringwald.

And Smirnoff65 stops this thread cold for the night. :-)

Blind dates... heh. I was on a blind date once, except nobody told me about it. I was invited out by someone I knew for a different reason, and some gal just showed up at a coffee house and started talking. I learned afterwards I was being "setup". I was miffed. HYE been scuba diving?

Only touring shows; never on Broadway proper. It's something I intend to do sooner than later. Have you ever touched the Stanley Cup?

Sure. Plenty of them. Have you ever eaten steak tartare?

Mine requires a little context... Cabbie: "You have children? What are their names?" Me: "Noah and Joshua" Cabbie: "Ah! So you're a rich American Christian, no?" Me: "I'm not wealthy." The cab ride was in the middle of a very Muslim country.

Do you mean by court order or voluntarily? :-) Heck yeah! They have all the good drugs. HYE been on TV?

Biscuits. Sausage biscuits. Bacon, egg and cheese biscuits. Jelly biscuits. Milk gravy biscuits. Biscuits sopped in brown gravy. Biscuits with butter and honey. You get the idea. I kinda sort like biscuits. Except canned biscuits. Those suck. I'd rather go without biscuits before I'd eat a canned biscuit.

It surprised me too. I asked if I could eat back exercise calories and he said "not yet", ergo my actual deficit would be greater than 500 per day since I exercise almost daily. Thanks again for the great thread. Sam

Thanks for accepting my friend request. I've cruised your diary and got a few ideas - especially salmon patties and babybel cheese. I've been cooking salmon the hard way - cedar plank on the grill. It's tasty that way, but I'm not always up for that sort of cook. Salmon patties will be a great alternative, especially if I…

I'm like RabbitLost... seems like the weight crept up on me after college and next thing I know, I'm wearing those 40-something waist pants and barely fitting into an airplane seat. The real wake up call was the brain fog. In my youth my brain went a mile a minute with ideas and I was proud to be able to remember all sorts…

I'm not buying the "not too smart" bit. You handle strong, heavy rigs where one mistake could take multiple lives. I could NOT do your job - especially due to that sort of stress! I've seen you guys back those rigs up to a tight loading dock in the city as if it were 2nd nature. I can barely back an SUV down a boat ramp 3…

Icy blue eyes!

Bachelor degree in Computer Science. Former programmer who now works in software technical sales.

Butterfly wings. :smile:

When you hear guys talk about "the girl next door", this is what they mean. Nice job!

Friendly, nice and sugary sweet.

Excellent point on the different calculations. The point I wanted to make was that MFP underestimated my basal metabolic rate by ~300-400 calories per day. My nutritionist likes and recommends MFP, but he believes MFP is generally low on BMR calculations. I'm no expert; just reporting what my nutritionist shared. Sam

Yer killin' me! Sam PS I have a great idea for a Mr Ticklemug app. It will make BILLIONS!

Ha! Many years ago, I had a rotational assignment in southern France in the Cannes-Nice area. I lived on brick oven thin crust pizzas, paella, and vanilla crème brûlées. I have 3 different types of crème brûlées in my regular bag o' tricks now: standard vanilla, pumpkin spice, and lemon-blackberry. They're all good and -…
