Wow, OK. This must be a guy thing--both FM and my brother are pretty "meh" about their birthdays, too.

It just means you are that much closer to death. Not exactly a reason to celebrate.

It's a sad, sad, sad, day in St. Paul, we've lost an icon.

The Nook on Hamline Avenue near Randolph Avenue "is totaled," said co-owner Ted Casper, speaking from his eight-lane bowling center in the same block.

No, not The Nook! That place was great! Now where is BabyJesus going to eat lunch?

It's no different than ringing in the new year. Either way, you're a day closer to your inevitable demise.

Except new year is a holiday, so we don't have to work. Meaning huge amounts of people can get shloshed at the same time!

Aw crap. I have to go to Fort Madison, Iowa on Thursday.

There is no easy way to get to/from there. Closest airport is ~2 hrs away and limited flights to/from MSP. Looks like I fly down Thursday AM, drive to site, drive back to airport (Cedar Rapids) and spend the night in airport motel then catch 7 AM flight back. Fun, fun, fun. I think I'd rather go to North Dakota than this one.

And many of those people attempt to drive after getting sloshed, thus hastening other people's inevitable demise. Win-win.

Boo to the Nook. At least they think it'll be reopened in a few months, and at least Shamrocks still serves the same general burger (even if it isn't the same place.)

Also, get well soon, legal!


Morning, Lodge.

Re: Rep Lodge 126: Merry ****ing Festivus!!!!

Had a great ski weekend at Breck. Twenty-seven inches of snow fell during our three day stay. Got back home late yesterday after having had great fun as my wife and I hosted five twenty-five to twenty-seven year olds during our stay. We all had a terrific time and hope to reassemble as a group again during the ski season.

Today's first order of business is setting up my new computer. HP Slimline. 3 gig memory. 640 gig hard drive. Windows 7. Have lots of files to traansfer from my former HP setup. I hope everyone's week is getting off to a good start.

It's odd weather in denver as the temp is heading to the mid 60s today. My wife and I just got baqck from three days where all we saw was falling snow. Nicec change of pace for now.

And, Patman: what diet are you on that you are craving THAT much milk?

Nothing that severe... I was just exhausted at the end of yesterday between gym, sleep, and lack of food.

I've cut the extras out of my diet while holding the rest to be consistent... I had a light lunch (holiday party with few healthy options) and no breakfast. I needed just about everything... Including water because it's so dry.

Grrrrrrrr... The one client I had today just canceled because she got into a wreck.

Any diet needs BREAKFAST and WATER-LOTS OF WATER.

I very, very rarely eat breakfast. I am never hungry in the morning, and even though I don't eat breakfast I don't get hungry until lunchtime. I know people say that this is a bad thing, but I just can't bring myself to eat when I have no appetite.

Re: Rep Lodge 126: Merry ****ing Festivus!!!!

Diets suck... I could down a half gallon of milk without trying right now.

What kind of diet are you on? Remember, everything's fine in moderation...

Am I the only one here that takes their coffee black?

No. I like mine black with either honey or agave nectar.

Good morning MEUSA, Ralph and tLodge! I hope everyone is well!

I just wanted to pop in and say hi. We returned from NC last weekend and apparently brought the winter weather north with us. It snowed last Monday morning, which then melted a little and formed black ice on the driveway. Which of course I tried to walk across wearing snow covered sneakers. That didn't work and now I have two bones in my shoulder where there should only be one. Miss Wiggle is fine though, she was safely inside at the time.

The doc says that it is healing well and we should be able to avoid surgery to set the bone.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Afternoon, Lodge.

Yeesh. Seems like she'd need it even more after that!

I rarely ever did either, but I do find it's easier to hold my weight when I have some toast and a glass of orange juice before I go to work. Helps me wake up a bit more too.

My weight has been within 10 lbs of 230 for about 10 years now, and no matter what I do, it doesn't get out of that range.

Eh, mine's around 240, but it was up higher when I didn't hold as regular a sleep or eating schedule.

Eat, then purge.

Re: Rep Lodge 126: Merry ****ing Festivus!!!!

I have finally gotten all of the paperwork and other busy-work done to move my project to the close-out stage! I got all of the real work done a couple weeks ago, but now I'm done with all of this extra junk and I'll be able to finally put it all behind me! Yay!
