For me, the 3 most important aspects of weight loss were: Portion size, portion size, and portion size.

For me it's the Celery Test. I can't stand plain, dry, celery. If I'm willing to eat that, then I must be very hungry indeed!

Best thing I ever did was ditch my Keurig and dust off my Aeropress. I now drink twice as good of coffee for half the price.

I have 1 (or 3) word(s) for you:

This could also read "Run Fast When You're Angry" because when I'm in a foul mood and I hit the treadmill you can better believe that I will crank the music and crank the speed.

"You need to be ready to give up on perfection and love someone for who they are, shut down your desire to be completely understood, realize that everyone is crazy in their own way, and start loving instead of just wanting to be loved"

A book that is COMPLETELY wrong for your interests.

I like how you capitalized "Annoying Sister in Law" like it's her name, haha. I have one of these, so I totally get it.

Ditto here, I get a toothbrush ever year and I love it. I figure it's basically the same as receiving cash since it's an item that I will have to buy eventually.

I have to admit that I am kind of a culprit here, sorry! But I do totally understand your plight. My wife and I had our first child 6mo ago, so we recently made the change from from being at the "no-kids table" to being surrounded by other couples with kids. Here's my defense that is probably no consolation:

Touché on the Big Bang argument, you are correct that it is a separate issue from Evolution. However, it does belong in the Creationism argument (i.e. Creationism is, in my opinion, the best explanation for the Big Bang), which is why I mentioned it, but is not necessarily related to what happened afterwards.

As a Christian who is also a proponent of Creationism (Reasons for such being: Cambrian explosion explanation? Cause of the Big Bang? Irreducible complexity? Transversing infinity? A transcendent Creator is still the best explanation. But I digress...) I still find this ad both funny and clever.

Business Casual is the code at my job in Long Beach, CA. We're an enormous automotive company with codes and policies that come from over-seas affiliates. To our local office the most casual form of our technically "Business Casual" code means I'm wearing leather shoes, cotton pants (like dockers), belt, and a company…

Personal growth, maturing, and life changes are what seem to be the biggest friendship killers to me, but not in a bad way.

I negotiated my salary when I was first hired and ended up getting exactly $5K more than was first offered. It wasn't very difficult. I just presented my case on what I was worth, put things in percentages instead of dollars, and the HR person said okay.

At an old job I worked at, I found out (accidentally) that my employer was going to be "changing" my position, to something that I had no interest in. So I kept coming to work, sitting at my desk, but not really doing anything productive. This went on for about 3 weeks of me practically doing nothing 8hrs a day before…
