Psst. Fugee? Those are mattresses. As opposed to beds, I mean.

How tall are you?

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Huh. Me too. At least on the internet.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

That was me.

I eventually bought this one from Pottery Barn, though:

Also avoid getting a vindictive model.

5"4. I know I'm supposed to be a 6-8. Before the kids, I was. 2 kids later, well, you know.

No, he already has the nasty bitch model.

That's hot. Every day, something happens that convinces me a little more that I ought to just sleep with TM and get it over with.

With the right linens, that would be very kama sutra.

I am very bummed out by this thread ... I'm also shopping for a new bed right now but am constrained both by my staircase and the size/layout of my bedroom. Fucking 1920s colonial-building munchkins.

Your kids made you shorter? Huh. I thought it took longer for the calcium-depleting effect of pregnancy and nursing to manifest itself visibly.

Psst. Lots of folks have a couple of kids and still look smoking. See e.g. dtb, for one.

It is not ginormous by U.S. standards at all. In fact, it's probably on the skinny side. But NYC is a totally different story. There are more size 0s here than you can shake a stick at, and once you are past size 8, you are probably considered chubby by NYC standards. That's just kind of the way it is.

But who the fuck cares, really. I know Thurgreed and he is scrupulously honest and he said you seemed happy and you seemed to like your life and you seemed like a nice person. I have no doubt this is true. We all have issues with our appearance -- if you are happy that is really all that matters.

What? It's from Pottery Barn!

Thank you GWINKY that was nice of you.

Sounds like someone's got a case of the "sppostuhs"
 

I'm supposed to he happy and well adjusted.

Nice, but if you were to put some screens in the windows you wouldn't need the mosquito netting.

Psst. if you have running tips please share. I am up to 2.7 miles.

My old lady weighs less than she did pre-kid.

I gained 10 lbs (But I think that's just the cirrhosis).

Because you all have such good taste.
 

That's un-fattening guaze.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Me too, actually (on the weighing less).... though my tits are still bigger than they were pre-pregnancy.

I understand you think I was a little harsh, but I worked hard on that post because I wanted to be fair and not harsh at all. Of course, it's my opinion, so it has to be fair to that opinion, which I think it was.

You may get told you're pretty or cute, but I think people are generally nicer than I am. Also, I didn't make you sound like you were a whale. I made you sound like you were chubby, which you are (not a good ratio). And maybe that bra is a 38E (and I don't see how that's possible), but everyone on the board had E cups in mind when you posted it and you don't have E cups. No way. Not even Ds. Completely misleading.

All this meeting up and reporting back has made me a bit jumpy. For a minute there I thought you were talking about your impressions of me at our last GA happy hour.

As of today I've sworn off all further IRL meetings in order to preserve my tall and sinewy on-line persona.

I love that effect.

I mean my wife's, not mine. No manboobs here. When I get those, its time to go...

Try 5.4.

You aren't tall and sinewy?

Are you trying to run further or for a longer period of time? I was running quite a bit before I started my boot camp, and I mixed it up quite a bit. I'd run/walk for forty five minutes to an hour on some days. I'd run straight through for thirty minutes at a much faster pace on others. I acknowledge that I'm one of the world's slowest runners, but I don't really care about speed. I just want to be able to keep on going. Before I'd started boot camp, my furthest run straight through without stopping was a little over five miles in an hour. (See slowest runner, above)

I'm going to start training for January's half marathon as soon as my boot camp is over (two more weeks). The schedule that I found that I'm going to use has me running thirty to forty five minutes a day every other day, cross training with something else the other days of the week and then doing a long run on Sundays. We'll see if it works.

Well, if you hadn't gobbled up that Chex Mix and then puked all over the table, I might be a little more forgiving.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

This is crushing news.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Time to go? You're gonna off yourself? Why not just hit the gym a little harder? Or stop yourself after that first pint of Chubby Hubby.

I found it more de-crushing.

I actually do not run long distances because I do not like it. But I jump rope. A lot. And I lift very heavy weights every other day. And I run stairs and do them two and three at a time. It's good because I live on the 33d floor so it is quite a workout.

But if you want running tips, I think dtb had the best ones. Run slow and for a long distance. If I ran any length of distance, I would follow that tip.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Not sure. more miles, faster pace, more endurance. DTB told me to go slow, and that SO helped [thanks DTB!] I've only been back into it for 3 months. I used to bang out 5 miles good pace, good time, and then I well, as TM pointed out, let myself go for a good couple of years.

So you can do boot camp but your pace is still slow? I don't mean that in a bad way I'm just trying to understand how that translates one to other........hmmm thoughts?

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Jump rope. okay, that is exc. cardio is that for boxing? and the weights free weights or the ones you like attach to wrists or is that uh, wimpy? hah.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

It's like Penske and I aren't even here.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Wait just one minute ... now we all have to be nice to ppnyc?

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Sure. I agree. She knows I've only been back running for a few months. I'm trying, honey.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Oh pshaw. Tips? Sir?

Because you all have such good taste.
 

That'd be the easy way. That may seem right for people like you, but some of us have values, commitments. I don't expect you to understand, but it's just something I'll have to do.

What exactly should have been PMd to you? I didn't publicly humiliate you. You knew what you were getting into when you agreed to it in the first place. I was not overly harsh. Everything I wrote is my honest opinion.

You seem like you're a nice person and I concede that may be part of the attraction for some people.

Why don't you post what you thought I would post and I'll give you my honest opinion on if I think you're delusional.
