Pet peeves and petty annoyances
What are those itty-bitty, tiny, petty things that annoy the hell outta you? We know the common ones (lose vs. loose, bad drivers, etc.) so more points for originality/rarity. I'll start with a couple: • People using the word 'blackmail'. Even if it's onTV, I always reply, "No. I'm 'black male', that's extortion." • I sit…

HBP meds NO MORE!
Late March 2012: In-home assessment for additional life insurance. Nurse took my BP twice in both arms; lowest was 200/140!!! MAJOR wake up call! I was already a couple of week into researching a new primary care physician (PCP), but this forced me to make a decision and go for a visit. 2 days later, I'm in the doctor's…

Bronies (adult "My Little Pony" fans) - this is a THING now?
Having been a huge fan of "Ren and Stimpy", "The Tick", "Eeek the Cat", "Animaniacs", etc. I'm not above watching an occassional episode of "Phineas and Ferb", "Gravity Falls", or "The Annoying Orange" because their humor falls in my wheelhouse. However, I never even thought about watching "My Little Pony: Friendship Is…

The makings of a Cowboys hater...
American Football is my favorite sport and I've followed it since pre-school. I don't dislike basketball and baseball, just don't follow them. I've always wondered 2 things: 1) What makes for a true hater of a team, particularly NFL's Dallas Cowboys and NBA's L.A. Lakers? I've spoken to many people over the years and such…

Who wants some 'Bi-napple' juice?
Lawyers have filed their briefs <snicker> and were at The Supreme Court today giving oral <giggidy> arguments today on the controversial topic of Same-Sex Marriage. By complete and total coincidence, I stumbled upon this image a few minutes ago and thought, "Hey, this would've made a great protest sign for gay marriage…

Used to hate it, now I love it
What food(s) did you used to hate but know you love, or will at least tolerate? I'll start with a couple: 1) I used to love greens (turnips, collard, etc.) but absolutely hated spinach. Nowadays, I love spinach and will only tolerate greens (e.g. will eat if offered, but would never buy/cook myself) 2) I used to only eat…

Can I do C25K AND my normal treadmill workouts?
I'm thinking about starting C25K on treadmill next week. At 1st glance, I noticed that the total length of the workouts are relatively short, especially in the early week. My question is can I do the C25K workout and then follow-up with my standard t-mill workout, or will combining the two screw up my progression from a…

Men: what body type are/were you and what's your goal type?
I saw this pic in a post today (link at bottom) and I'm curious about your starting, current, and goal modes. For me: 1) Starting/worst: Betwen ChubbyFat and 'Fat as Fatass' although my belly NEVER lapped over and I've ALWAYS had a real waistline! 2) Current: ChubbyFat 3) Goal: BuiltFat (in the past it would've been…

Dude closing in on 40lbs lost; ready to lift/tone
Hey MFPals, I've reached my stage 2 goal by losing more than 36 lbs before Thanksgiving! :happy: Now that I'm almost ready to go into a deliberate plateau for a couple of months (see profile for details), I think this'd be the perfect time to start a lifting/toning regiment. I've seen tons of posts about lifting for women,…

10 Minute Workout (10MW)
I see a lot of topics on 30DS, P90x, etc. However, I don't see any recent posts on 10MW. Any guesses why not? Is it a good program or is it just that it's the lesser advertised one? I was thinking about starting with that and working up to P90x. Thoughts?

What treadmill to buy local to Richmond, VA
My 10 year old treadmill is on its last legs and I'm thinking about buying a new one. I refuse to buy anything that I can't test firsthand (e.g. no online-only shop-n-ship for me). As such, whatever I buy must be available in the Richmond metro area. I'm interested in recommendations based on my following criteria:…

Is it just me, or...
...does food taste better when it's pretty-fied? I won't be getting a job at "Edible Arrangements" anytime soon, but arranging my fruit like a fancy platter seems to makes it a lot easier to down 5 servings in one sitting! (see my profile pictures library for a sample) P.S. Can we add pictures to posts like these? Ron
