I know this is true, but don't get why. I am in pretty good shape- run 5 miles 6 days a week at a decent pace. My resting heart rate is 60 BPM. If being fit means your heart rate is low should you burn fewer calories?

You have not even possibly had time to read the entire article.

I'm not saying any of it has anything to do with me in particular, but I thought it was very, very interesting. Especially the stuff with the chickens and marmosets and the virus.

That ulcer you have, you brought it on yourself by not meditating/doing yoga enough and by eating the wrong foods. Sinner.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that while diction may be defined in part as: the choice of words used in speech or writing, it is not the same as usage, which refers to the actual meaning or definition of words.

To demonstrate: the use of "all y'all" in the quoted post is an example of the ironic use of diction to create humor by making an erudite assertion through the choice of words and dialogue not traditionally associated with erudition. The use of "diction" as a heading for the quoted post is an example of improper usage to undermine the irony inherent in the use of "country-fied" diction by demonstrating a less than perfect degree of erudition.

Carry on.

I will anticipate your response: "But she is her own person. Why should she conform to the ideals of those in the inner circle of cool? Blah, blah, blah."

No one is asking her to conform. Everyone (and you seem to be the absolute only one who hasn't) has asked her to put some substance in her posts.

I don't know what to say, my standards must be low. It doesn't bother me. None of it bothers me.

And here I always thought diction was only a synonym for enunciation or otherwise related to correct pronounciation. I stand corrected.

As for vapid, yeah, that is exactly what I meant when describing our "special" friend.

As a long-time diabetic, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the calculations are at best semi-educated guesses. Just a variation in insulin production, resistance, and uptake can produce wild swings in the rate of calorie adsorption.

I've made some cool friends here but the same instigators refuse to leave me a lone.

Okay. Now you've gone from merely insipid to downright unintelligible.

Nevertheless, I think it's reasonable of me to be irritated when your grammar is at a kindergarten level and to give you shit about it.

If I ignore you, will you go away? [how is that for a sentence?]

No, but I will cease to have any impact on you. And the first effort at sentence formation was perfect. The second, somewhat less so. The brackets were unnecessary and distracting. And the first letter of the the first word in a sentence is always capitalized. But I applaud the thought you put into the post.

(And don't say "how am I any more obtuse and defensive that you have been?" That line of argument gets pretty tired.)

I like square brackets. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and brings out the corporate side of me, like it is a PPM or something.

You are proving my point about the defensiveness. I didn't think I was moralizing here, but am willing to concede that I have come across that way about this topic, especially in the past.

I like the expression. As a child, I would eagerly anticipate Christmas. Chrismas morning was a magical time, all the family together with the beautiful decorations, the wondrous smells, and, of course, the brightly wrapped presents under the tree. I would always save some of the candy I'd received in my stocking, as if tasting the candy in the months to come would bring me back to that wonderful time. Come February, cold and gray and desolate, I would break open my cache, only to find that it had gone stale and tasteless, the chalky taste reminding me of my bleak, bitter, and empty existence on every other day of the year.

Tough. Tootsie. Rolls.

I didn't think I was being defensive in that last post, more of smart arse, but am willing to concede that I may have come across as defensive in our back and forth (and also in my back and forth with Thurgreed, where I also may have come across as retarded), especially in the past.

I could not tell you. There might not be a lot of people at Port Authority on Christmas? Then again, the people who are there probably really want cigarettes.

So here's what Denise Richards says about her divorce.

Quote:

"Like everyone else, I'd heard about his past, but I couldn't comprehend it," Richards, 35, says in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. "I've never done drugs, never been around a prostitute, never known any porn stars. I couldn't even fathom that lifestyle. I grew up in Illinois, not L.A. He told me that was in the past, and I believed him."
So, there are no drugs or prostitutes in Illinois? And Sebby led me to believe that she was one of Heidi's girls. Who's right?
