the last name of someone I was just dealing with: Foroozannasab. I like it, but, that's a lot to say. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 07:49 1
- That's.... long. I wonder if they are nicknamed Forza. -- nm - sycor Aug 11, 08:09
Confession, I'm so out of shape, I did a "PM yoga" routine last night at home. I'm pretty sore today. - sycor Aug 11, 07:48 1

What is Martin Freeman's signature role? - Amoxy Aug 11, 07:45 16
- Insurance salesman in fargo -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 11, 14:05
- I have to go with Watson. -- nm - sycor Aug 11, 08:09
- Probably something British, but that doesn't translate entirely well over here. I'll say Dr. Watson. - Shaun Aug 11, 07:57
- Shawshank -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 07:49 2
  - ah, Morgan. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 07:50 1
    - it's a bad joke but it's Amoxy so... -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 07:51
- Dent Arthur Dent for me with Watson just behind. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 07:49
- You mean the Hobbit dude? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 07:49
- Tim in The Office or Watson -- nm - LMS Aug 11, 07:48 4
  - I almost went with Tim, but his Watson is *so* strong. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 07:50 3
    - I think The Office Christmas special was such a cultural landmark here, I had to go for Tim. -- nm - LMS Aug 11, 07:59 2
      - I can see that. It still irks me that over here, few know of the glory of the original. - Spawn Aug 11, 08:02 1
        
        It irks me that people say Steven Moffat can't write female characters when you've got great ones in Coupling, and Press Gang - LMS Aug 11, 08:05

I'm on the fence about my counter tops and need more voices: anybody have a wall backsplash that meets the top of the counter? - Max Aug 11, 07:38 2
- i have the 4 inch up thing. i hate it. (it goes, soon.) A full backsplash with no 'counter rim' is much more current. -- nm* - Andie Aug 11, 07:44 1
  - yeah, I don't really think they look appealing. Somehow it looks to me like a cheap workaround to the water problem. - Max Aug 11, 07:45

- Exercising More. Trying to cut down on late night food binges -- nm - Amoxy Aug 11, 07:46 1

  - I wish I could stop my addiction to donuts -- nm - Amoxy Aug 11, 07:48 6
    - I read somewhere that a glazed Krispy Kreme is the doughnut equivalent of crack - LMS Aug 11, 08:02 3
      - They are so good. And when they are warm..... it's like heaven in your mouth. nm - sycor Aug 11, 08:05
      - those are crazy addicting. I don't even like the taste all that much, but could eat a whole dozen at once. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 08:05
      - *drools* -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:03
    - Are they at least good donuts? Or are you talking, like, Winchell's or Dunkin. - JaxSean Aug 11, 07:58
    - " I wish I knew how to quit you!" -- nm - Amoxy to his powered sugar dougnut Aug 11, 07:53
  - I need to rein that in as well, and my snacking in general, but particularly the sour patch kids. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 07:43 7
    - Those are horrible tasting to me. My kids like them though. yuck -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:00
    - A few months ago I destroyed one of the giant bags in one night. My stomach and tongue paid the price. - Krusty Aug 11, 07:51 5

        Cheddar Cheese Bugles are my go to lately. Or Cape Cod Kettle Cooked chips. - sycor Aug 11, 08:05

- I can't even remember the last time I was at a Chili's - decline Aug 11, 07:33 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - You live in NYC. You should never be eating at a Chili's, Applebees, or OG. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:08
- I'd bet they keep the burgers and jhalf the chicken dishes -- nm - Epiphany Aug 11, 07:32
REB2McD's: I was only in line for a Coke, like most mornings. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 07:21 2

- very well done, it will keep the blood pressure down when Spawn humiliates you in Destiny 2 and fantasy football -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 08:13
- Fantastic! -- nm - JD Aug 11, 07:57
- 👍 -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 07:53
- Solid. Nicely done. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 07:51
- cheers! -- nm - mud Aug 11, 07:47
- That's great. Honestly I don't know how you survive on that few calories. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 07:45 16
  - my diet doc is a total quack, but he gave me an interesting tidbit that I try to use..... - groiny Aug 11, 07:55 15
    - That's interesting. Of course my take away would be that I need to then eat 8 times a day. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 08:00 8
      - small healthy snacks throughout the day is supposed to be good and keep your metabolism cranking. - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:02 5
        
        I would have never thought that one apple would satisfy me for breakfast. - groiny Aug 11, 08:04 4
        
        The breakfast bars I eat are 170 calories. That usually tides me over until i get to lunch around 2 or 3. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:07 3
        
        well, you are far from fat, and your metabolism is probably way higher than mine. - groiny Aug 11, 08:09 2
        
        But you're working on it. Good job! -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:11 1
        
        was at 296 when I was in hospital. - groiny Aug 11, 08:13
      - granted, he also wants me to eat nothing but green shit that grows, but that is not going to happen. - groiny Aug 11, 08:02
      - an 8 fister - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 08:01
    - How many fists per day? -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 07:56 4
      - heh -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:00
      - personally, less than 3. - groiny Aug 11, 07:59 2
        
        I need to take up smoking or something - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 08:00 1
        
        dude, you do not have to tell me, I love good food. - groiny Aug 11, 08:03

- Outstanding -- nm - Remlikindle Aug 11, 07:27
- WTG! great job -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 07:25
- very nice -- nm - decline Aug 11, 07:23
- 👍🏻 -- nm - kelly Aug 11, 07:23
- Did you chop a leg off? I'm really impressed, that's great going. -- nm - LMS Aug 11, 07:20
- Holy shit! - Spawn Aug 11, 07:20
- Sweet!!! -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 07:20
- Awesome! It's definitely not easy but you can do it! -- nm - sycor Aug 11, 07:18
- Awesome, groiny! -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 11, 07:17
- that's terrific -- nm - prayformojo Aug 11, 07:16
- Awesome! What is the secret? Eating better, exercise more, both? - Amoxy Aug 11, 07:16 28
  - For me, it was eating less, but not starving myself. Just eating more reasonable amounts. -- (edited) - sycor Aug 11, 07:20 5
    - Nicely done! -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 07:32
    - WTG! That is my symbolic goal, get under 200. Got 10 to go -- nm - Amoxy Aug 11, 07:30 2
      - You can do! And it will feel so good to hit your goal. It will be worth it. -- nm - sycor Aug 11, 07:35
      - Get there! You can do the thing! -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 07:31
    - woot! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 11, 07:24
  - mostly changed my eating habits - groiny Aug 11, 07:19 21
    - no soda and iced tea with no sweetener!? *spittake* - Max Aug 11, 07:31 7
      - it is the hardest part for me. - groiny Aug 11, 07:32 6
        
        what about stuff with bubbles in it? Ozarka sparkling water? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 11, 07:50 3
        
        I just bough a pitcher with a cylinder for adding fruit or veggies to the water to infuse - groiny Aug 11, 07:52 2
        
        I get the fake crystal lite from Walmart. The Orange Early Rise is pretty good. I hate regular water too. -- nm - sycor Aug 11, 08:12 1
        
        the issue with that stuff, is twofold - groiny Aug 11, 08:14
        
        I get the lemonade Mio. A little squirt of that and it makes water MUCH better. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 07:48
        
        Something I like but don't do enough is just a squirt of lemon juice in water. A little doesn't need sugar, and at least tastes interesting. -- nm - Max Aug 11, 07:42
    - the no booze you mentioned would also be a HUGE help too -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 07:26 1
      - well, yeah, it is a big no no if you are serious about dropping weight. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:31
    - Are you using anything like Myfitnesspal to help make you are eating enough? - sycor Aug 11, 07:21 1
      - no, I am taking some vitamin supplements, and the diet doc I am seeing is giving me b12 injections. - groiny Aug 11, 07:23
    - try to keep under 1500 calories a day, usually closer to 1200 - groiny Aug 11, 07:21 7
      - I need to get back to tracking. I know I eat about 600 calories for breakfast + lunch meaning I can eat something reasonable for dinner - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 07:23 5
        
        It's tricky. I eat a granola bar for breakfast usually and have a reasonable lunch and dinner. - sycor Aug 11, 07:25
        
        if you are not tracking, you probably are, and not even aware of it. - groiny Aug 11, 07:24 3
        
        This was my issue when I was at my heaviest of 275. Once I realized it I was shocked. - sycor Aug 11, 07:26 1
        
        my goal would put me at 220, if I can get there, and it is going well, I will adjust to to get under 2 clicks -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:33
        
        I have a pretty good set of meals at home I eat that I know are solidly in that range - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 07:26
      - Yeah I usually do around 1300 in a day. I also try to keep it under 1500. -- nm - sycor Aug 11, 07:22
    - ^^ it's all about the food. now if I could just get to the point where I don't eat, I'll be great :) -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 07:20
- Very well done! -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 07:16
- Nice job. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 07:16
- very proud of you. when you put in the work - which you did - you see results. congrats - Epiphany Aug 11, 07:16
- w00t! - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 07:15
- Good job! This will help with your heart issues, and maybe even the apnea. -- nm - Bacon Aug 11, 07:15 1
  - that is the motivation. - groiny Aug 11, 07:16
- Well done, keep up the good work! -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 07:15
- well done! -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 07:15
I wonder if there's an oral history of the invention of Clamato? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 07:12 3
- Linguini clam sauce is delicious, someone sopping up the sauce said this us so hood I'd drink it from a bottle -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 11, 14:08
- "This tastes disgusting, try it!" -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 07:38
- "you got clams in my tomato juice!" "you got tomato juice on my clams!" "Lets add liquor, everything is drinkable with liquor" -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 07:27
