Re: The Tory MP who was speaking about Planned Parenthood... For what it is worth, several insider Tories in Ottawa are saying that he is 100% wrong. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 07:27 3
- I wouldn't rule out for the guy after Harper, whoever that might be, to try something. - Reagen Apr 21, 07:31 2
  - Not sure I agree with your IM but we'll leave that one for the Great Abortion Election of 2018. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 07:34 1

ty, all I can say is that while last year changing my diet, and working out 30mins 3-4 times a week - tRuMAN Apr 21, 07:19
ST Poll: have you ever dined and dashed? -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 07:19 26
- One time I was solo at an Irish pub, and got lousy service. Food was good, but the wait staff disappeared. I left a penny. -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 07:46
- never even considered it. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 21, 07:27 1

    - Yep. We left a $250 tab one night after someone had to be carried out. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:30 4
      - was it Jax? - groiny Apr 21, 07:33 3
        
        Nope....dive bar up at my job in 2004. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:34 2
        
        did you go back and pay? that's a huge accidental walkout. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 21, 07:37 1
        
        Oh yeah...and a big tip to the server becuase we knew we hosed up. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:38
  - grabbed you where? now I'm upset -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 07:22 1
    - I know! I would have let the Denny's waitress grab me in exchange for hangover pancakes. -- nm - Amy Apr 21, 07:32
- I think I may have left after asking then waiting for the cheque for half an hour or so. seem vaguely familiar. -- nm - zork Apr 21, 07:20 1
  - Yep, been tempted many times but don't think I've ever actually done it. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 21, 07:36
- Accidently. -- nm - Amy Apr 21, 07:20
- I'm still surprised Denny's stays in business. How many times -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 07:20 3
  - seriously? Because a lot of places dock the waitperson. the store doesn't get hurt. - loosilu Apr 21, 07:22 2
    - your meter is running low :) -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 07:23 1

Also: How can i be hungry right now? I ate dinner? - ty97 Apr 21, 07:18 5
- do some crunches, that'll take away your appetite. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:19 4
  - What the hell is a crunch? How is that different from a sit-up? - ty97 Apr 21, 07:20 3
    - Crunches on a balance ball is great for core muscles. Fun fun. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 07:28
    - Crunch is pull up on your legs and sit up, so you're attacking both ends of the abs - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:21
    - just go up like half-way -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 07:21
is this bar for real? -- (link) - zork Apr 21, 07:18 4 1
- A lot of things are definitely fake... The lime slicing is ridiculous -- nm - Guigue Apr 21, 07:21 2
  - that was my thought too -- nm - zork Apr 21, 07:22 1
    - It seems to be a viral video for TGIFriday -- nm - Guigue Apr 21, 07:24

So what is the new recommended correct way to do sit-ups? - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:17 22
- my theory is do whatever you need to with your arm so that you aren't using them, but also aren't straining your neck. your stomach muscles are doing - Andie Apr 21, 07:32 3
  - arm position does make a difference in how much weight you are lifting, though. the further your arms are from your core, the heavier. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:51 2
    - sure, but i think isolating the proper muscles is the most important thing. -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 07:53 1
      - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:54
- Wii fit has some good plank exercises. -- nm - kelly Apr 21, 07:31
- pay someone else to do them for you while you sit in a nice quiet bar. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 21, 07:27 2
  - you have the advantage of being able to do them under a Chevy. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 07:49
  - My favorite drunk story....convincing a buddy that he wasn't drunk if he could do 10 pushups in the bar. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:30
- well, the p90x guy always has you - tRuMAN Apr 21, 07:21
- repost, now with link! Planks are the new black -- (link) - Amy Apr 21, 07:19 4
  - hmm, all of those moves are used in the p90x programs, but not specifically stated for abs. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 21, 07:23
  - 6.62606896(33)×10^34 -- nm - zork Apr 21, 07:22 1
    - err, x10^-34 - zork Apr 21, 07:24
  - I'm willing to give this a shot. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:21
- inverted -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 07:19
- if you are doing them right, you should not feel it in your lower back. - groiny Apr 21, 07:18 5
  - what about hand position? -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:20 3
    - "Place your hands behind your head so your thumbs are behind your ears. Don�t lace your fingers together." -- (link) - mara Apr 21, 07:23
    - they matter less if you are doing them properly. - groiny Apr 21, 07:21 1
      - tx. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:34
  - Okay....I had back troubles years ago becuase I was strong up front and didn't do the inverse. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:19
- I would love to know too. Right now I do pilates roll ups because they're supposed to be safe. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:18
