Look up. It's a giant g-spot!

This sounds reasonable. But does your current BF like dogs and is he willing to be the primary caregiver for the dog? That seems important.

And is he planning to take the dog.....When. He. Gets. His. Own. Place???

I know you said the sex is incredible but,as Thurgreed said, where is your brain?

He suckered you into letting him move in after you said he couldn't live with you. This is not the same as having a rational discussion about whether both your relationship and your recovery are at the point where living together makes sense.

You should hand him the Craiglist roommate wanted and for rent sections and get his ass in gear for Aug. 1

Thurgreed may have gotten a few of the details wrong, but his general theme and conclusion are spot on.

Oh yes. I told him that he could have a puppy and the puppy could live with us but that I was not going to take care of it. I am not going to buy food for it. I am not going to feed it. I am not going to walk it. I am not going to train it. I am not going to pet it. If I feel like doing one or more of these things on occasion, I am free to do so. But he is not to expect that I will.

I should scroll then post, but I had a conversation like this with a friend on Sat. He said exactly those things about the large golden lab her husband and boys wanted and she did not. She now takes care of it, buys food for it, feeds it, walks it and trained it. Husband and boys only play with it.

Thanks.

The 101 looks interesting.

Someone told me that this is intended to be a sort of bridge event. The 25.5 is longer than a regular sprint, but a bit shorter than an Olympic. 50.5 between an Olympic and Half-Iron, 101 between a Half-Iron and Iron. Considering the vast difference between a half-Iron and an Iron, it sort of makes sense to me that there should be something in between. It also helps that they're not going to have any IP issues with the World Triathlon Corporation.

I wish I could mix and match the 101 swim with the 50.5 bike and the 25.5 run...

Not sure what you're saying here -- I've never tried Atkins, but it doesn't seem like anyone can go forever without eating carbs. What you need is a way of eating that you can sustain for your whole life. That means limiting your carbs and limiting fat, salt, etc. To pretend that you can cut it out entirely for the rest of your life is ridiculous. Surely there is someone who can do that, but there aren't many people who can.



Yes to the first sentence, but
nononononononono to the second. Skim milk has 21g of sugar per serving, and half and half has 1g. The extra fat in half and half is not that much (a gram or two) but almost no sugar. Sugar is way more a hindrance to losing weight than fat is. A diet doctor once advised me that for weight loss (not maintenance, LOSS), don't consume things that have more than 3g of sugar, or 7g of fat.



Weather is the kick in the (in my case, proverbial) balls for running. If it's too hot, cold, humid, or rainy, it's so hard for me to get my ass outside. But eating carefully (in a way that you can sustain it forever) is much more important than exercise for weight-loss purposes.



Exactement.

1. I do eat vegetables. But I eat carbs sparingly.

2. I have heard that. But I tried it over the winter. I ate all kinds of fatty stuff. I gained 20 lbs. Big fat fatty.

3. Maybe that's true for you, but I have to exercise.

It's not carbs. It's calories. Carbs happen to have a lot of quick and easy calories, so you can't eat as many of them if you're trying to lose or maintain weight, but there's nothing wrong with eating pasta or sugar or bread so long as you don't go overboard with them.

And the formula of figuring out calories in and calories out really easy, but the execution can be damned difficult. It's not a walk in the park, and most people fail at it.

Well, in fairness, there is more to it than that. Sure, calories are calories, but your blood sugar will drop (and you will feel hungry) sooner after 200 simple carb calories than 200 protein/fat calories. That isn't to say that Atkins is the answer, but decreasing the simple carbs does help you feel satisfied on fewer calories.

Oh, and I agree on the "exercise doesn't necessarily make you lose weight" stuff. I work out quite a bit, but last year I had an injury that kept me from exercising for 4 months or so. I didn't gain weight, and didn't go up in clothing size. I lost definition, sure, but didn't gain weight.

I guess my confusion was over the fact that you said in your post that all you took out of the case was that Cochran and Scheck were amazing lawyers (presumably because of the staging of OJ's house, which seems like the first thing anyone with half a brain would think of if the jury was going to be there). But I'm not trying to find an argument where there isn't one. I just thought there was a little more that came out of that case.

Well, as I recall, the jury also visited Nicole's condo, and it had been stripped of everything, and was bare and vacant for the visit. Of course, as you pointed out, the prosecution was, to put it kindly, inept. And even if it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a huge picture of a naked white chick in the Juice's living room was problematic, replacing it with the Norman Rockwell print was, indeed, inspired.

And the verdict certainly ignited a national dialog, but I am old, so I already knew that rich defendants tend to do better in the criminal justice system than poor ones, and that whites and blacks tend to have differing takes on the fairness of said system. Oh, and that the LAPD had not been known for its enlightened history in race relations (Sam Yorty, anyone?). That's why I said that the skills of Cochran and Schreck was what I took from the trial.

That's an awful lot of vagina knowledge from someone who claims to be straight. Have you double checked your ring and index finger lengths?

No, I meant the people, not the vaginas. Maybe you should ask Slave? He's confirmed to have fucked at least one of them -- maybe he tagged the others?

PS Index fingers still exceeding, and will be back on the bar stool tonight.
