Oh yeah that's right, 30 years ago in elementary school!

It's not new math. You are just getting old.

That said, I agree with number 2.


What is grouping? I was required to get one of those ludicrous high-end graphing calculators years and years ago -- I still have it, so at least it's well-made -- and to this day I have no idea how to use its graphing function.

I think she is away from the storm- the way it was reported it is on the panhandle, and I think she is points south? I think?

This storm was not reported well, I don't think.

No, it hasn't been. This is a storm that The Weather Channel decided to evacuate the area for, and that's just not something that happens.

The problem is that it's not a hugely populated area. Panama City FL is about 40k, Tallahassee is about 200k.

It's not a lot different than the general lack of national reporting of tornadoes hitting rural portions of the Midwest.


OK. This impressed even me.

Ambrosia's posting on the 'Race to 400 Aliases' thread, which bodes well.


I love that we've kept that going despite passing 400 aliases months ago.

I thought about starting a countdown to 1,000 aliases thread but didn't want to add to the glut of recent off topic threads.

Not a whole lot to say. Textbook used milk as an example of a commodity - a good where the producer doesn't matter. I was swiftly informed that the brand of milk does matter. No, they didn't mean the percent.

My kids go through 3/4 of a gallon of milk a day.

And I can blindfold them, spin them around half a dozen times, and pour the milk in an opaque black glass with an opaque lid and straw so they cannot see it at all.

And if it's not Horizon Organic, they'll complain that I got the wrong milk.

Kids have some seriously overpowered taste buds.

To me, milk is milk. I'm not that particular. Will eat and drink almost everything.

I'm up early because I'm trying to catch gym class at 7.15 in the morning. I expect I'll get fat in US because their servings are humongous. My friend went to States and came back visibly rounder after her vacation.

So I'm trying to cut some pounds first.

Herbal liqueurs are actually rather hardcore.

I think I've figured out where some of my alcohol tolerance comes from. I usually take this stuff when it gets cold in Singapore.

I.e November and December.

I think the saddest thing about that statement is not that it depends on the restaurant you choose, but it depends on how much you're willing to spend. In the wrong way!!!!

Around here, Claim Jumper serves (I kid you not) 3500-calorie meals for under $20. One of those meals would feed my family for 3-4 days, if it were even remotely edible.

Go up to $20-$25 per plate and you start getting places that actually serve you quality instead of quantity, and most of the meals would only serve two.

It isn't until you break around $30 per plate that you get meals that you can actually finish in a sitting without getting ludicrously overstuffed.

It's yet another reason we love Rivoli. We get a few "bites", an appetizer each, a dinner, a dessert, and a couple of drinks. And at the end of it all, we are sated, but not stuffed. Yeah, I bet it's still on the order of 2000 calories in total, but it's a MUCH tastier 2000 calories, and doesn't make you feel obscenely bloated.

But yeah, in the U.S., if you eat 3 restaurant meals a day, you will gain weight. It's just that simple. They're designed for you to have no more than 1 per day.

Speaking of which, at my annual physical today my doctor started praising my vastly improved bloodwork (bad cholesterol down over 20%) and physical fitness.

Curse stopping drinking and having it work!

The Exchange

Lol I went on one of those body fat machine thingies and if I'm not doing anything, I'm supposed to need about only 1100 calories per day. Oooooops!

Also US there's a lot of driving involved and since my Dad and uncle aren't that young, there aren't that many walking trips. I suppose if it was me and my bro, we could do it hardcore =P

But again I haven't trained actually carrying a backpack while hiking. I did practice some slope work with mount faber during lunch though. Also some jogging, but doubt I'll need it since my brother isn't the joggy sort.

LOL. I stretch for 25 minutes, do sit-ups, push-ups, hike 2 miles, and do some kicks and punches. Maybe 75-90 minutes of exercise a day all told.

I wouldn't call it "tip-top shape". I'd call it, "What you need to do to be over 50 and not a marshmallow".

I only manage about 40 min or so per day. If I'm not doing body combat gym class, I try make an effort to get some running done, though my last weds lunch run I felt a little off form.


Ok, enough for now. Time to get to sleep.

Tomorrow back to gas-operating short-stoke something something...

For the record, any amount of money is a ridiculous amount for playing in the mud all day with a mini bobcat.

I REALLY hope he means a literal animal and not the construction tool.


Nope, construction equipment is the Beezneez, I can fish with one (I have the picture to prove it, I fished a compactor out of a ditch but I'm confident if I taped a pole to the front of it I could catch some fish) and shave an angry bear.

They're good for everything!


Damn ferrets are nasty f*~+ers.

A litter box is for pooping, not a toy dig bin.

The rogues think it is both. Often at the same time.

Teenie (Athena, my gf's, or Teenie Thenie as I call her) is clearly not used to being disclipined. I caught her in the act, scruffed her, and flicked her nose and she lookes at me like it's never happened and she saw a ghost. Buddy Brynjolf meanwhile looks at her like "welcome to my world, b!+#@". Yes my ferrer's full name is Brynjolf "Buddy" Tarantino (because he has a foot fetish). Teenie is Athena Karliah Holly (because Brynjolf/Karliah and Buddy Holly).

He doesn't appear to be getting better. He just s+*@s wherever and still needs help peeing. Not worse but not better.

REALLY not what I wanted with a pet. :-( He doesn't even play anymore. He just drags around and lays and looks sad. Teenie never played unless Buddy jumped her and forced her to. She's several years older than Buddy, so now they just...exist.

BTW why is weight gain a side effect of just about every medication known to man?

One more reason I can't stand when people say they can't gain weight.

Have you tried sitting on your ass, watching TV, playing videogames, napping, or otherwise doing things that take literally no effort, the absolute opposite of the hard work it takes to lose weight? Be lazier. Or eat s$+~ty cheap food. Just be more American.

Or take any medication. Really. Pick a disease, eat a pill, and there's like a 95% chance it will make you fat.

Because that's a side effect you want in your antidepressant - making you more of the primary reason you're depressed.

We got the flat. Now since I promised that we'd start looking at marriage only after we got our own flat(which will be built in 2022), I'm now hyperventilating because there's a whole lot of things you need to do before you can get married. We need to get a bank loan for the flat first thing. Then do the Registry of Marriage, gown fittings, wedding planning(including wedding dinner/lunch) and afterwards, house renovations.

While figuring out our finances. So yeah I think the only way I'm going to get calmed down is if I start making a list of things that need doing. I think I'll also be living with my BFs family after the ROM is done.

But it's like a completely new chapter of my life so I'm feeling overwhelmed. Don't know where to start...

I honestly couldnt eat some foods because they were so sweet. Honestly, who puts sugar in salad dressing? So, so gross. And I had to have lemonade mixed with extra water as it was too sweet.
