You're down 8 pounds in 22 days???? Like, for real??? I stopped drinking soda daily about three years ago and have gained weight. Why is so easier for guys? Not fair. :mad: I will say all the anxiety I've experienced in the past month with my dad, I lost close to 6 pounds. Not the way I wanted to lose weight.

les - there was a period in time when I was taking a fish oil tablet and also glucosamine chron-something or other. I stopped. I didn't mind the fish oil. Would have no problem taking that again if it helps a bit. I have salmon on my shopping list. And walnuts.

I have — I have been extremely disciplined in this too — I used to have a few drinks on Tuesdays and Thursdays or so, etc and completely stopped that too — I’ve only had drinks on the weekend now, which has still worked for me. Pretty sure the first 5 lbs came off quickly — bloated from things I had been eating/drinking the weekend prior and a little water weight.

I’d presume there’s a better explanation from les too..
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 199 - Dumb Poll of the Month

I dropped a bunch of weight from August to October, around 30lbs. Was right around 40 lbs lost when I checked last week.

I used the Chick-fil-A* diet, along with just being smarter in my choices, cutting back on amount a good bit also.

*12 Ct chicken nuggets, large fruit cup and coke zero. Did that 3-4 times a week.

Busy weekend, just getting around to replying now. Spent it on the Cape in a recording studio.


I read it. Interesting, not sure I buy that the "issue" is as bad as they're stating but I do hear a lot of generally negative feedback. The documentation requirements are pretty substantial (necessary? Not necessary? I've no idea) and details change relentlessly so it's nearly impossible to be on top of it all.


Hey, we're going to be coworkers!

Oh, it is. People are shedding out of medicine like a dog in Spring. There is a serious brain drain of folk who have experience. Not a good thing.

The political treads can sometimes be enlightening. If you have people who are willing to explain their opinion instead of posting foolish stuff. (Rare but possible). I asked a question once that had puzzled me for a few yrs and got a great answer about why the person thought that way. I didn't agree but it was helpful to understand because every other time I asked it people just started frothing at mouth (or is it pen). I test out as mostly a pragmatic centrist which isn't popular :D
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 199 - Dumb Poll of the Month

You have to find the people that can actually discuss, not name-call, or go to extremes, or ARE extreme, etc. Total minefield. And it's tough to do. That's all I'll say on that.

Evening, Lodge! Flooding my mgr with PTO day requests. I have 6.5 weeks to burn this year (I CAN carry over 1 week, and one week has already been approved). I bet he thinks it's random days, but nope! The Monday (or Tuesday) after a holiday weekend (gonna be busy), hockey regionals, bday week, etc.

Not bad. You got 9 1/2 right of 14. (about 68%) Prague and Amman are capitals, so they should be capitalized. edinburgh, and mumbai are not, so they shouldn't be. ;) You get half credit for new York. :p
I am assuming you mean the city of Singapore, not the island.

Sounds like you should mix a few more in then..;)

Morning y’all.

We have our annual alumni game tomorrow (outdoors) and it’s supposed to be about -3 at puck drop. Almost feel like I’m playing in MTU/BSU conditions tomorrow. :p

THis most certainly is true. I have always had curiosity about how people think- not just about politics but other stuff too. Sometimes it makes no sense. Some people I see their name and scroll by- others are more thoughtful. They are the fun ones.

Enjoy while you can. It sounds like next week we could add the high temp from each day and not get to 52.

As it should be. This is winter. Its Minnesota. Bring on the cold. Maybe the *******es that don't comprehend how to drive in snow, and go 20mph at the hint of a flurry will go back to ****ing Florida sucking their collective thumbs.
