Between August and November I dropped 30'ish lbs. I've kept it off since. I didn't overthink the "diet" thing. I just focused on reducing the amount of overly processed, calorie dense foods I was eating. Eating whole fruits and veggies. Eating meat. Eating bread, but getting whole grain...

Chores. I usually keep up on dishes, she does laundry. Loser has to do the winners chore for a set time period. Plus their own. Caveat being, the winner can't complain about how it's done (i.e. - folding towels the wrong way).

Got curious and found this: https://secure.parksandresorts.wdpromedia.com/media/disneyparks/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/propro937993.jpg The 1975 version of the final scene, which the article says is the "original". At least from WDW.

I would update - but not as you suggested. Go every 40 years. 1900, 1940, 1980, and 2020. The middle two scenes can be somehow blended to create 1940. The existing final scene can be dialed back to 1980 with the debut of home video games, an Apple home computer, etc.. Then create a modern...

We had a small local chain that used to sell their milk in 1/2 gallon plastic bags. I think it was for cheaper packaging. You'd buy a pitcher from them, then drop the bag into the pitcher and snip the corner. The pitcher had a slot to slide the open corner into to seal it. I guess it was...

Events like this NEED a good MC to keep the evening moving. Somebody with the courage and the tact to graciously cut things off at a reasonable time limit. Set the expectation up front in the initial communication. "Out of respect for all attendees and in the interest of time, all...

I was going to say that multi-tasking is generally a great way to do several things poorly.

But the second mouse gets the cheese.

I usually just ask, "My missing this meeting won't keep her out of Harvard, will it?" It was a running joke I had with my kids preschool director. But they appreciated the humor. I think. I guess I'll find out when they apply to Harvard.

Money can't by happiness, but it can make people very secure and comfortable in their misery!

Don't kids get jobs anymore? I had a part time job all the way through high school. Most people I knew did the same. Even 10 hours a week at $7.50/ hour should have a minimal tax burden and the $1,300 could be raised in five months. Surely these kids waste 10 hours a week playing video...

In my mind, it's hard to have a successful relationship when one is caught up in keeping score. If one is not okay picking up the tab without thinking about it, or likewise, letting someone pick up the tab without thinking about it... I guess it just seems like unnecessary stress. We've...

Depends on what the driver of the situation is. In general, is the person motivated, ethical, and do they have integrity? Then sure. Do they make much less because they aren't money motivated and focus on charity / non-profit work? Do they make much more because of a chosen profession that...

In my view, a "tourist trap" puts the emphasis on the "trap" part of the deal. Driving through South Dakota has all these signs for Wall Drug for example. "Free Ice Water" "5 cent coffee", etc. Well, everyone has free ice water with meals, and the five cent coffee turns out to be 5 cent...

I dislike that my generation pretty much invented reality TV as we know it today with the advent of "The Real World" on MTV.

Them Bones - Alice in Chains Tain't no sin - Tom Waits When you hear sweet syncopation and the music softly moans tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones When it gets too hot for comfort, and you can't get ice cream cones tain't no sin, to take off your skin and...

When I was younger, thinner, and blonder - Bo Duke. I got older and made sure I put on weight to end any confusion. Hair got darker (and now getting lighter again) too. And Cary Elwes, circa, "The Princess Bride". Same reasons. Younger, thinner, blonder version of myself. Also had somebody...

If somebody spent their whole life insulting me then said I haven't changed, I'm not sure how I'd take that. Okay - sorry, couldn't resist. :teeth:

People have always guessed my age exactly right my whole life. It's incredible really.

Could probably pull off 5 - 6 hours each way if it was a "must attend" family event that didn't take too long, assuming we had to make a showing for a couple hours and really didn't want to get a hotel. Years ago, I'd leave at 5 in the morning, drive to Cedar Pointe for opening, stay till...
