I actually lucked out here. My first car was a POS and kept needing work, and then after I did some research I knew what I wanted, looked for one in a 200-mile radius and found one that happened to be a former rental car. Except for one cupholder piece missing it has been an absolute champ with no problems whatsoever…

You know, I started in yoga and cardio and now I've gone to weightlifting, and I was wondering about going back to my old love. You've nudged me in the way back, thank you.

Some years ago I got this recipe from a local farmer and life has never been the same. It’s one of the first things I do at the beginning of summer and it’s also the first thing to disappear when we have people over.

I'm excited for part of my trip that includes a hotel room with a fridge. Just need to find a microwave somewhere (I've bribed some smaller hotels' staff for quick use of their staff room jukebox before) and I'll be so happy. For four days, though, posh hotels in big cities. Soon as I get there I'm grabbing some…

*HERK*

Thanks for this. I have a week of travel coming soon and this will come in handy.

If I didn't have such a problem logging into Flickr every single time (long story short: too many Yahoo accounts over 10+ years of being online) I'd love it more. Haven't tried Google Photos yet, if it makes my life simpler though I just might jump ship.

I couldn't. I'd either get so focused on my numbers that I'd put my feet on the sides to concentrate or I'd get distracted by the walking.

Where else can we get a breadstick sammitch?

What pleasantly coincidental timing. I'm taking time off for two (fun) conventions next month and will be gone for 7 business days. One of my managers will lose his sh!t and thankfully there is no way he can get my personal phone number, and when he runs over to my desk to try and get me to fudge numbers for him he'll…

oh, man. That freaking sucks.

This one's from Mothers' Day.

I ... legit. There are some family members that I simply do not interact with because they're this ridiculous and there is just nothing I can do except for total avoidance.

(what the heck, I started a comment, cancelled after I thought about it and it still posted.)

I love you. I was just thinking about starting this now that I'm hitting a plateau.

A good trainer will give you guidance on nutrition, but should not offer coaching or meal planning services unless they have an RD. I ask my trainer for his opinion on pre-workout fuel and recovery and he will look at me funny with some choices, and he knows some things better than I do (competitive weightlifter), but…

Late to the party but oh well. My worst one was trying to get from Osceola, IA after a Disturbed concert back to central Illinois during winter break. A major snowfall in the mountains delayed the train by nine hours, and of course this was after my ride had dropped me off at the train station and left. I had no cell…

Mitchell, IL might be an okay idea if you work for SIU Edwardsville and don't mind a 20 minute drive. But there is nothing there but an old relic of Route 66 and a Speed Lube, that's about it. I'd rather go back to Rockford.

I am also not a dude and I've dipped my toes into men's products quite a few times. I love you for this rec. And you made me laugh.

I really do love me some Alton Brown and his book was one of the first I ever bought, but then I found the "Science of Cooking" one and it has the best coverage of basics and science, and that's why I voted for it.
