What does this mean? You can pinpoint our firms? Exact location in the office?

In another episode of DebtSlave's nonsequitor theatre ...

I was reading Bazaar this weekend, and it had an entire article of nutritionists reviewing the diets of 10 or so NY socialites/ fashionistas/ whatevers. So they had a list of what these chicks ate on an average day, total calories, and the nutritionist's commentary.

Total daily caloric intake ranged from 1000-2100 (one woman drank a LOT of wine), but most of them were in the 1300-1400 range. WTF? The lollypop lady syndrome is explained!!

However, I have to note, though, that most of those diets actually didn't look that bad. Only on eof them seemed to be on the "smokes and gummy bears" diet (Lizzie Grubman), and most of them weren't eating rabbit food. I was more surprised at the number of them who ate dinner at around 10 pm. (Which is when I usually eat dinner, so I don't know why I was so surprised.)

Now that sounds like an interesting article. Who was on the cover of Harpers or rather, what issue was it? Must pick it up.

As an aside, I seem to remember Lizzie Grubman saying she quit smoking before jail bc she wouldnt be allowd to smoke ther e(!). I guess she relapsed? How do tehse smoker chicks who substitute cigs for food keep the weight off after they quit?

And was the wine comsumer a fattie?

I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your panties; I knew I wouldn't have time to stop home before work. I'd have asked first, but I didn't want to wake you.

From what I can tell, it doesn't mean a whole lot.

Nothing has changed on our end, and I promise not to abuse my power, or insist upon being called Her Royal Highness, Empress of the FB.

Yes, that was me. The post was about his return to smoking, coinciding with him nearly stroking out at a bar. I was extremely concerned about his blood pressure (since he nearly had a stroke!), and I mentioned that I thought he was 10 pounds overweight.

The OddMan is still smoking, eats whatever he wants with no comment from me or our family doctor, and drinks with the boys once a week.

Edited to add: he wasn't overweight at the time. Since his visits to the doctor and his spring training, he dropped about 15 pounds, though it did not affect his blood pressure. I never encouraged him to lose weight or change anything other than the smoking.

E/O,

I hate to pry, but how the hell does one at your ostensibly young age manage to almost have a stroke?

I often wonder whether it spossible at our age to have a stroke or a silent heart attack of some kind and not known it. I was once driving along on the road the morning after a night of partying and had to pull over because my heart started beating uncontrollably fast and heavy and I had to get out of the car and catch my breath. After I ate something, it seemed to subside. I've had a stress test since then and they said my heart is in fantastic shape, so that leads me to question what caused me to have that uncontrolled heart freakout.

I also wonder whether its possible to have the onset of cirrhosis at our age. My wife swears it takes a fifth or more a day for 20 years plus to get liver problems that could kill you, and even then its rare. However, I was reading about the Dead's first keyboard player, Pigpen, who died at 28 after drinking for a mere 10 years. His consumption was not that insane, and he died quickly -it gives me the willies.

Of course, the assjacks who say sushi and raw shellfish cause hepatitis scare me the most. If they're right, I'm dead.

S(Not that I plan to alter my lifestyle one bit - quitting drinking or eating sushi is simply not an option)D

Why is it that some women expect you to read their minds? .
And why do they ask you trick questions.

And the talking about the feelings. My GOD do we have to talk about the feelings all the time.

HA!!! WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Is the problem perceived male vanity, the public expression of male vanity, or both?

I prefer to know that a man reads nutritional information -- and has a clue about what he puts into his body. He doesn't have to pay strict attention to his diet, but he should know ballpark what he is consuming.

Personally, I have no problem with men who take care of themselves and their skin. If they wish to hit the salon, highlight their hair, get their nails done, etc., more power to them. It doesn't make them any less manly or attractive.

E/O

My problem is that its girly behavior. NTTAWWT. I dont think Clint Eastwood would say "oh that burrtio mexicano with chicken has 988 calories, better not" and/or frost his hair. A real man follows his appetite, doesnt eat when he isnt hungry, skips the pork rinds and gets sufficeint exercise. Like all people should. I have come a long way to not have to count fucking calories so I dont need my man doing it. Vanity turns me off. You can look good and be healthy without being obsessive and or vain.

Highlighted hair is just a gay man's province. Again, NTTAWWT.

Sweetheart, you know they were just going to sit unused in the drawer.

It means that, with a few short keystrokes, they can find the name of the firm or company that is registered as holding your particular address.

Whether you have a window office or a cube, no, I don't think they can see that, unless your firm or company uses an older version of NetWare.

Finally, as for the panties and bra issue, if you don't want them to know, don't sit so close to the screen. (That's just common sense.)

Every so often you hear about the high school athletes who keel over walking into algebra. Mr. Kiss, who has been "bulgy-eyed" vegetarian for 6-7 years, is not overweight, and does not eat rich foods had GOUT at age 26. Doctor couldn't really explain why, but said to cut back on drinking on smoking (which is generally good advice, but I don't think has much to do with gout). Mr. Kiss also has had pluerisy and bells palsy (in high school--fully recovered) which is just freaking weird. I think some people just have weird shit happen sometimes.

Dude, Pigpen was sooooo much more that "the Dead's first keyboard player."

Yes, and he clubs women over the head and then drags them by the hair back to his cave to rape them.

Too many people are guided by their appetite and hunger. Why do you think Americans are so fat? Isn't this objection directly inconsistent with your continuing complaints about mutherjumpin huge people?

The point's pretty simple, as Seinfeld and the low-fat yogurt demonstrated. If you think something's low cal, but it isn't, you really ought to find out. While I would never think a burrito is dietetic, knowing what's in it, calorie, fat, and sodium-wise is not girly, it's common sense.

It's the mercury content that scares me. There was some study that came out recently about the ridiculous amount of mercury in fish generally, but most especially in fishes like tuna, swordfish and shark (ick). I seriously eat sushi a couple of times per week (Abe in Newport is the best in OC and is very close to Nobu/Matsuhisa quality)...one of the big reasons (other than my indentured servitude) not to get pregnant--no way I could give up sushi.

I have never heard of getting hepatitis from sushi. I figure that I already got every vaccination known to man in the Army, so I am covered.

Well, get off the meth. But other than that, probably not a heart attack, and if you were checked out, move along. But it might have been tachycardia (sp?), which my sister once had (or something like it). Her solution was to stop drinking a case of diet coke a day. For others, they can implant electrical stimulators that stop this from happening.

Paigow,

Is it bad for a guy to not eat bread and cake? I won't touch either because (a) I don't like either and (b) what's the use of empty calories? I also refuse to eat ice cream and usually avoid egg yolks, mayonaisse and fatty salad dressing despite having no history of heart disease in my family. My wife calls me a fag for eating like this, but the way I see it, being extra healthy with my diet allows me to drink twice as many drinks as the normal guy and inhale smoke and lots of red meat without fear. I've been on a sort of modified Atkins diet for the past decade.

Where do chicks get the notion that real men have to eat like shit? I don't like to work at my job and have a rotten attitude. If I get fat and my energy and my looks go, I got nothin' else. Fuck, its gets harder and harder every day to get by on packaging over substance - I can't fucking afford to get fat and ugly.

S(So if I threw away the bun on my cheeseburger you'd think me a pansy?)D

SD

First off, I like how you respond to each poster as if you are writing a work email.

Second, why am I not surprised that your wife would call you a "fag"?

Third, yes I would call you something (but not pansy) if you tossed the white flour bun off yoru burger. In terms of health, thats the equivalent of ordering a diet cokr with your cheesecake.

I never said guys shouldnt eat healthy. Jesus., have you read my posts? I jsut posted yesterday about healthy organic preservative free lunches. Like I would prefer a guy to eat cheeseburgers. As I just posted, I think a guy shoud eat healthy and get exercise and not obsess or overeat or eat empty calories as a rule. (Note that alcohol is not empty calories= they are buzz calories which is different). Also, do things in moderation. Have a piece of cake now and then, but dont tell me how many calories are in it. I dont eat it often so let me fucking enjoy. And same to you. If you arent counting calories, it sounds like you are just doing fine. Dont deprive yourself (ha ha), bc thats bad for the mental health.

And eat whole grain bread, in moderation, its good for you.

Bet you are wondering if I am a fattie myself.
