Thats kind of hilarious also you seem to be improving.Due to its size, you can't view the video in Google drive itself and probably you'll need to DL it or something to watch.

I like doing that song. I generally like fast paced songs, it's just my brain can't process the arrows fast enough. If you saw my figure, I'd probably be swaying from side to side so that I can move faster to hit the beats.
Third time doing mortal kombat, not a fresh dance through. I like it also that I feel it's a better workout then other songs even at normal. I'm still not up up expert.
Again, really? This is ridiculous!

Sal-EE-dar and TRACK-hand were my immediate assumptions of pronunciation upon seeing the words written.
Salidar: Sal-ee-dar, rather than Salədar
Trakand: Trak-and or Trak-ond, rather than Trakəndinteresting.
I would like to know scint's take on these names, considering her vocation.
My take on them is "I'm never reading WoT again."

So the stupid [lengthy string of very bad words redacted] woman at the management company that leases us our house, after all the crap we went through earlier this month arguing with her over the validity of our claim for a reduction in rent for the days we had to stay in a hotel while the electrical work was done last month...
NEVER SENT IN THE PAPERWORK TO THE FINANCIAL OFFICE THAT SHE WAS (A) APPROVING OUR CLAIM, or (B) WAIVING THE LATE FEES AND PERMITTING A LATE PAYMENT (BECAUSE SHE JACKED US AROUND FOR DAYS WHILE WE WAITED TO PAY).
and, fabulously, the employees in the part of the financial office where we *pay*, and the part of the financial office where things go to collections/legal, DON'T SHARE INFORMATION unless she makes it so.
So she told the employee to whom we make our payment (yes, you have to make every rent payment, every month, over the phone), BUT SHE LET COLLECTIONS/LEGAL THINK WE WEREN'T PAYING.
So I got a Notice to Vacate in the mail today.And I called up this evening, hopping mad, politely explained to the nice lady on the other end that, while I was hopping mad and had a grievance, I understood that she was not to blame, so I would do my very best to modulate my tone of voice with her, and she was very helpful and told me to disregard the notice. But told me that, eventually, she would need something in writing from the [lengthy string of very bad words redacted] person.
Find the woman doing the leasing and try to tell her nicely there is a problem. Though I understand if it is a hard thing to do. Because I think in this case yelling at her will just make matters worse since she may not cough up the docs.

I'm super regular. I drink a lot, mostly black coffee, unsweetened tea, and water, and eat lots of fiber. The meat I eat is mostly poultry and occasionally fish, unless I'm eating out at a restaurant.
Sadly even with that I've had weight and BP issues. :-(
My problem is sheer volume. I get really f$#%ing hungry. Also I need to exercise more.
Try eating eggs and drinking milk. Both are supposed to be good at keeping you full.
I guess that's what I'm learning about dieting - trying to cheat your body about letting you get away with as few calories as possible.
Also - drink more water - a lot of people think they're hungry when they're thirsty.
And eat oranges. They're a great hack in making you think you're full when it's all Fibre.

What is your purge strategy btw? I'm eating nothing but fruit and beans, and taking insane amounts of Miralax, and I'm still just treading water. Going to see my GI who knows when, and I'm looking for suggestions. :)Also, my legs feel like rubber. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten drunk last night, but meh. I'm in my 30s, I can handle a little debauchery.I know of a great way to cleanse your GI tract and feel totally purged...
Try some vegetables. I'm known to eat an entire pot of fried veges all by myself. Also oranges always send me to the loo. Beans do as well, but I haven't eaten beans for a while.

I didn't finish. I'd finally caught up, managed to get through that waste of time that was book ten and through eleven where things actually happened again...and then Jordan died. I was really excited that they tapped Sanderson to finish because he's one of my favorite authors.
So book twelve came out...and I couldn't remember who any of these people were. I think my exact words were "Who the hell is Egwene?" And I looked back at the several thousand pages of rereading I would need to do to refresh my memory...and I went "Nah."
Ain't nobody got time for that.

Did your doctor catch you in bed with his wife or something?What is your purge strategy btw? I'm eating nothing but fruit and beans, and taking insane amounts of Miralax, and I'm still just treading water. Going to see my GI who knows when, and I'm looking for suggestions. :)Also, my legs feel like rubber. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten drunk last night, but meh. I'm in my 30s, I can handle a little debauchery.I know of a great way to cleanse your GI tract and feel totally purged...So, by doctor's orders:
(1) 6 days of 1 capful a night (15 mg) Miralax just to loosen things up a bit
(2) Start fasting the night before. I started at 8:30 pm, post-Miralax
(3) During your day of fasting, at noon, take FOUR 5 mg tablets of bisacodyl (Fleet). At 5:00 pm, drink a liter of Gatorade with EIGHT capfuls (136 mg) or Miralax. At 3:00 am, drink another liter of Miralax with another seven capfuls of Miralax (119 mg).If THAT doesn't clear your gut, I don't know what will...
The doctor said he didnt want to do a colonscopy on my Dad if he was full of sh*t, so the regime is really pretty rough, but necessary.
Grats NH for a clean bill of health!

I have survived my colonoscopy!
And:
(1) It was far more pleasant than anyone would have you realize. The night before is a nightmare. The day of is, "Here, let us lay some warm blankets on you while you breathe through this tube. OK! We're done! Hope you had a nice nap!"
(2) Everything looks normal! With a father who died of prostate cancer and a brother with pre-cancerous polyps, I'll take it!
Hooray!

The top piece is a kind of corset called 'stays'. They are made with reeds in them and are from the 18th century. It took me many many many hours to sew it. But it does wonders for your figure. Even more then the average corset, which just cinches your waist.
This cinches your waist and puts boobs on a platter ;)If you look at this picture You can see why. The reeds all need their own tunnels for a snug fit, and you cant sew that with a machine. You need to do that by hand. You can see them very well in this picture as its sewn with white thread.
I wore it at summer events.
I had to apply sunscreen.A teenage boy literally walked into a tree. I still feel proud.

This was my reaction as well, more or less. I read the first... six or seven books? I don't remember for certain... then lost interest. Then Sanderson got tapped to finish the books after Jordan's death, and I got excited momentarily... then remembered why I'd gotten bored and quit reading the series halfway through, and - painfully - decided that even reading Sanderson's work was not worth struggling through several more books of Jordan.

Holy crap - girlfriend's company she just quit on went under already!
Another company (that pays more than the one she just got hired on) pays more, and wants her, cause she already worked with the clients they absorbed.
1.) So freaking lucky she started looking for a job before we knew the company was going under!
2.) How awesome that the new one that absorbed the old one pays more and wants her? (She's a caretaker for mentally challenged folks. Apparently one client she's developed a great rapport with is notoriously difficult to deal with for most other people.)

The worst part? Her aunt is the CEO. She could've known a long time ago. Luckily she was already fed up and looking for a new job.

Haha. Yeah, they like to make promises over phone conversation rather than in writing.
What they don't know is that WW has this obsessive habit of making audio recordings of *all* business calls.
We're not going to go into the ethics and legality of making recordings of people without their knowledge/consent; he and I do not agree about it, we've argued, and he does it anyway. He thinks he's providing us with an "insurance policy" of sorts in case people decide to reneg on an agreement, which he feels people invariably will, being people.
Again, we're not going there.

We went to the Mother-in-Law's annual caroling party this evening.
Caroling is problematic for me; I love singing Christmas songs with my choir, among people who are, for whatever reasons of their own, choosing to be there and listen.
Caroling up and down the street knocking on doors makes me feel itchy. I assume that most people, like me, just want to be left alone and don't want anyone knocking on their door unless they've invited them. Also it feels like proselytizing, and I'm not crazy about that, either. Faith is like underwear; you're not supposed to go waving it about in public. It's a private thing.
And I almost got into it with one of the other guests. I had mentioned that we're starting Val's testing/evaluation process for ADHD after the holidays, and she started telling me that she doesn't believe in testing and medication for children, that all they need is extra recess.
It was on the tip of my tongue to ask her whether, if her child were to develop a bacterial infection, she would accept antibiotics, or just send her child out in the backyard to play, but I didn't.

The narrators of the WoT audiobooks are really starting to annoy me; their pronunciations sound like every time is the first time they're reading Jordan's invented words. Like how would you say 'gleeman', as a citizen of Jordan's fantasyland? Probably after the third time you said it, the A would become that vague-vowel upside-down E sound that so many English vowels become in the course of everyday use, so you'd say 'gleemən'. But the narrators say gleeman. Every. Single. Time.
Also, weird emphaseses (emphasi?) and more awkward pronunciations:
Demandred: Dee-mon-dred, rather than Deh-man-dred
Salidar: Sal-ee-dar, rather than Salədar
Trakand: Trak-and or Trak-ond, rather than TrakəndI think after I finish book 5 I'm gonna have to take a break from WoT, which makes me sad bc I'm a completionist and I wanted to read them straight thru...but it's getting to be too much.
I am half way through Lord of chaos atm. I swear Jordan had some issues with women. All of his female characters are soo manipulative.

Re: Wheel of Time.
I thought about reading it once, but then my brother told me that one of the books that was around 1,000 pages and absolutely nothing happened in it, so I decided not to bother.
Hmm he must of been talking about the 5th book I just finished. It really felt like that. He does way to much recapping too. I'm mostly reading it so I can get to the Brandon Sanderson parts. I will say however now that I am on the 6th book I am interested in seeing what happens in the other 6.
