There's also availability to factor in (how easy/cheap is it to get healthy food?) and their current work lifestyle—it may be easier to bring a bag lunch, but if you're stuck in traffic 2 hrs a day, that can greatly limit how often you can exercise (and the willpower to do so).

There's the time/energy it takes to…

You SHOULD write a novel about it.

When arguing with people, I run into the "answer the damn question" fallacy—where I ask a direct question, such as, "If this were law, how would it be implemented?" and then the debater doesn't answer and waits for a different question or goes off on a tangent unrelated to the question.

If you didn't have faults, you wouldn't have anything to write about!

They could just go there if they wanted without bad behavior, I imagine. If they like the quiet spot or whatever. Sometimes it's just a spot on the floor (in front of the hallway closet door) and not necessarily big and comfy or anything. I remember I sat in the "naughty" chair once (it was just one of the living…

My boss sometimes comes back from lunch in a bad mood. If it's not intensely foul, we'll play along.

We all certainly need time away from our partners to be individuals, that's a very important component. Video games have a built in "time away" from each other....
"Bye Honey, I'm going to save Mars."
"Okay sweetie, I'm going to crack out on this rhythm game until I have ALL the characters."
8 HOURS LATER "I guess we…

Yes, I've heard from several in my local chapter (ha!) that they got published. It's not for someone who already writes frequently, unless they want an extra kick in the pants. It's for people who have never done it before, like me, or someone who likes structure or goals. Like I said, it helped me write as much as…

Also, now that I DON"T have that challenge, it's difficult to get back to it or reason WHY I should give up SHIELD for a week.

I did the writing challenge NaNoWriMo this year and I found that once I had a goal and determination to write, it got DONE. I wrote more than twice what I had in the last three years combined. I found myself pushing harder than I normally would have, and gave up on things I normally wouldn't (waiting a week before…

So does pooping, as it were.

Beat me to it! I love that tweak.

There was another article posted on LF (I didn't see it in the "also read") that said any diet pretty much boils down to eating more vegetables.

For the novice and the advanced student alike, cleansing is basis for elimination of every kind of disease. The purpose of this book is to simplify the cause and the correction of all disorders, regardless of the name or names. As we eliminate and correct one disease, we correct them all, for every disease is…

I was then to drink between six and twelve glasses of lemonade, which consisted of lemon and maple syrup in proper proportions, with a small amount of cayenne added to wash out the mucus loosened by the cleanse.

I love the #3 option. It is so obvious to NOT take that route, that all the other options seem so much better!

I looooove all the food over the holiday season. Any list on what's worse than others? Maybe highlight satsumas and clementines and nuts over that woefully calorie ridden pecan pie?

"Why doesn't everyone care about this???" BRB weeping for humanity.

I'm definitely one of those, "if you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention," sort of people, even if there's nothing I can do about a situation.

Where's the line between being trusting and being stupid? What are the warning signs between cheating and platonic hanging-out?
