  1. HOBO: I have lost 35 pounds since December 2008. I was sitting at my desk at 3 am one day, eating Seamless Web takeout, and probably about to go to the snack room for a sugar high, and just decided to make a change. I stopped staying late (for the most part), stopped taking on more work than I should, started eating better and started exercising very regularly. I lost all of the weight before Aprilish. I had a spreadsheet that tracked all calories that went into my body and all calories that I expended (based on basal rate plus whatever I burned at the gym). At the end of the day there was a balance sheet showing net calories burned. 3500 calories equals a pound. So I probably won’t make partner, but I won’t have a heart attack when I’m 45.

  2. bxgrl, I think we’re on the same page for the most part with this – it is a matter of degree for sure. While any suggestion to limit freedom of speech is very scary to me; there must be a way to protect people’s safety when that is truly compromised.

  3. Yech….I can’t even look at beets or smell them without hurling. Seriously. The first time I went to Jr.’s I ran out sick as hell after they plopped pickles, coleslaw and beets on the table as soon as we sat down. WTF kind of appetizer is that? Haven’t they ever heard of bread!!!

  4. the X6 reminds me of a giant sports shoe.
    I suppose the advantage of an SUV in NY is the higher sitting position and pothole-dampening suspension. Otherwise I think they should be banned as a class (at least until I get one).
