I cut waaaaaaay back over the past 6 months. Mostly because I have a fitness goal and beer is anathema to that, but also because it was becoming and every DAY situation which can lead to badness.

1. I am going to be better about counting my macros in line with what my nutritionist wants me to do. I’ve been doing it kind of half-assed and I still managed to lose 16 pounds since July but I can do better, so I will. I haaaaaate food tracking but it’s the only damn thing that has worked.

You’re a better person than I am, because I am rooting for that shit to go down on live TV.

I dunno, man. I love mashed spuds as much as the next descendant of German people, but mine need to be a little rustic. The ultra-smooth texture messes with my mind!

You’re assuming those 8-year-old twins are allowed to have unsupervised play on the playground and not some highly-structured and educational social development sessions with their age peers.

Exactly. How do you put them up wrong to the tune of $2.84 billion? Plug it in to the outlet that says “BTW, this powers NASA, lol.”

This is a solid question. If I’m at a place I frequent, it’s because they have a thing there that I like, which is why I am there, and 9 times out of 10, I am not at all interested in the special. But if I’m someplace new to me, I am more likely to order the special, simply because I’m not as familiar with the menu…

Some people are both, but I see your point.

I agree wholeheartedly with you about shitty LED lights. They’re just not right.

At best. Remember, half the people in the world are dumber than that, so...

Not on a scale like this - if the utility bill jumps from $200 to say, $300, then yeah, I’m going to wonder what we did that month to cause that. But we’re talking $284 BILLION DOLLARS. There is no way even my puny brain is going to wonder what I did to cause that, not even briefly, because it’s so obviously some kind…

$284Billion and her first thought is “oh, my Xmas lights” and not “someone done fucked up?”

It’s because he was able to see into the future and all he could see was piles and piles of cash.

I can do a whole ten minutes on Chef Boyardee. He’s my spirit guide.

I am an historian, so I looooove the history of what we eat and why we eat it. I’d love to see some examination of the “people” behind name brands - for instance, Betty Crocker isn’t a real person but Chef Boyardee totally is.

Agreed - at least label it as a re-post? It’s disheartening to read an article and have Things To Say only to find that there are already 2000+ comments because it’s years old.

Congratulations because that is an amazing achievement so fuck Mandy Moore and anyone who makes you feel bad about it! You’re awesome!

YUP. I have more than a few t-shirts that could be used to sail the goddamn Mayflower. Ugh.

Haaaahahahahahah I did get the apron in a nice manly navy blue. It was half off! I’m not walking away from that, even with the Spanish Inquisition at the register!

I had this same experience with Threadless. Ordered the XL in women’s, and it was comically tiny. I fired off an email explaining my dismay and they offered to re-do my order in the unisex/men’s size which are boxy and square but WHATEVER THEY WERE FREE at that point. My 11-year-old and I now have matching t-shirts.
