ST Friday Flyin' Airlines question / poll (?) of the day .... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 23, 09:30 5
- The airline will charge you a change fee plus the fare difference to change your flight. - ty97 Jul 23, 09:36
- Depends on the airline. Southwest will do their best to make things easy and only charge the difference iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 09:35
- $150 plus difference in cost of flight unless you're very preferred. -- nm - workmanda Jul 23, 09:34
- I'd bet they're all going to charge you something. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:33
- I don't even have to look. It's the airlines. They will charge you up the wazoo if you deviate -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 09:32
joyce or mother. -- nm - workmanda Jul 23, 09:30 3
- i post well. -- nm - workmanda Jul 23, 09:30 2
  - i use mother when i'm making a poing... -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:31 1
    - i have never made a poing in my life. but i have made a "point". -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:32
Poll: what do you call your parents when you are speaking to them? Mom, Dad? Mother? Pop? -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:25 26

- Mom and Dad. -- nm - kelly Jul 23, 09:36
- nothing i don't speak to them -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 09:35
- mom and dad. but oddly, when speaking of my dad i always use father - decline Jul 23, 09:32
- Mom -- nm - Dano Jul 23, 09:29
- Interchangeably Mom/Dad and Grandma/Papa now -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 09:29
- Depends on the subject. If it's just talking, it's mom/dad. If it's important, it's Doc and Sue. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 09:29 2
  - I remember thinking your father was a doctor, based on his nickname. - kelly Jul 23, 09:35 1
    - His nickname is very much like calling a huge man Tiny. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 09:36
- mommy and daddy -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 23, 09:28
- Mom/Mother...Dad. -- nm - NWBR on iPhone Jul 23, 09:28
- Mom for mom, "Al" for Dad, but I'm trying to say "dad" more. Maybe I should switch to Grampa :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 23, 09:27 1
  - good point - my mom & stepdad have really become Nana and Poppy now. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:29
- I think my mother's been "mom" since I was a kid, but for some reason I sometimes say "momma" now. -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 09:26 1
  - as in 'hot momma'? :) -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:27
- first names. since I was like 3 or 4. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:26 5
  - seriously ? hhmmm.. kinda odd for me, but ok -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 23, 09:27 2
    - (says the guy who wants to rub one out to Dakota Fanning.) -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:28 1
      - heh -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:29
  - interesting. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:26 1
    - I have no idea why, but apparently I asked them when I was that age if it was ok for me to call them that and it's stuck. - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:28
- mom and dad (when he was alive.) one of the people calls his father "Father." seems very formal. - Andie Jul 23, 09:26 1
  - one of the people HERE -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:26
- Mom and Dad (assuming they've been well-behaved that week). -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:26
- mom/dad. -- nm - Callisto Jul 23, 09:26
LIR: Weigh-in. I almost don't even want to post this - oblique Jul 23, 09:25 2
- whoa, nice. I almost missed this. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:37
- Awesome. Good for you! -- nm - lileve Jul 23, 09:36
its mildly amusing to see people trying to diet at fast food restaurants. if you are successful, you should write a book. - Guy Jul 23, 09:24 3
- I usually eat fast food several times a week since I work two jobs it's easier. I lost 15 lbs in 2 months. not a huge amount but good. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:28
- Jarod: Subway. It's not hard to diet at fast food. I have to do it all the time and, as others have said, I just know exactly what I can and can't - oblique Jul 23, 09:26
- already done -- (link) - Hotkiss Jul 23, 09:26
Escape from Alcatraz has kind of a different feel after having watched The Prisoner -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 23, 09:21
oh and LYC but my wife had her lap band surgery on Wednesday. she is doing good so far. just sore. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:13 4
- Oh, good for her! I hope it works out well. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 09:23
- Best wishes for a speedy recovery. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 23, 09:17
- positive thoughts for happy recovery -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 09:13 1
  - thanks. :) -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:14
"I find your lack of additional petty cash most disturbing." -- (link) - TFox Jul 23, 09:12
have we seen these? "Sun-plugged" bags. back packs and computer bags that contain solar panels to charge virtually any hand held device. - Andie Jul 23, 09:11
Today is Black Friday in July. Target.com has The Guild - Season 3 for $5 and Dr. Horrible on blu for $6.98 -- (link) - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 09:01 2
- They (Target) has some Xbox games for $9.99 -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:04 1
  - What a shite list. Worst Black Friday ever! Why are you making Summer Baby Jesus cry, Target? -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 09:07
The local newspaper's weather report: "Today: You are doomed to suffer. High 99; Low 79. Saturday: Why? Why are we tormented thus? High 99; Low 79." -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 23, 09:00
Pippy: for me, I think the hardest thing about dieting is eating out. - JaxSean Jul 23, 08:46 76
- My problem has been that the place we go to regularly is known for *big* meals. Entrees come with soup *and* salad, and everything is fried! If I - MojaveMeg Jul 23, 09:37 2
  - Fried stuff with cheese! -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 09:39
  - heh. That's like a hamburger minus the hamburger. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:39
- Download a calorie finding app for your phone. It was invaluable for me because I could look up major restaurants right at the table and find - oblique Jul 23, 09:27 3
  - I really wish myfitnesspal would make one for android. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:30
  - I'm constantly on the phone browser looking up calorie info -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 09:29 1
    - Yup. I love how customizable the nutritional info pages have become, too. (*love* places like Wendy's) - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:31
- Before the diet, I didn't realize just how much food restaurants give you. It's three meals on one plate sometimes. -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 09:16 11
  - I agree ... I wish smaller plates with smaller costs would become all the rage - everywhere. -- nm - JenBro Jul 23, 09:19 5
    - With all the major diet fads a few years ago, I'm surprised this still hasn't caught on. Also, didn't realize how *massive* American coffees are until - Hotkiss Jul 23, 09:22 1
      - where are you? It's probably a lot stronger, too. Cuban coffee is like a shot. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:24
    - it wont. thats how they make money. it costs very little to add a few extra helpings to a plate at a much higher cost -- nm - Guy Jul 23, 09:21 2
      - much higher price, i mean -- nm - Guy Jul 23, 09:22 1
        
        right .. I get that ... I guess - I'd even pay higher for less food of a higher quality - like better tasting veggies - from local farms - organic and - JenBro Jul 23, 09:33
  - this is very true. you have to pay attention to serving sizes. I think I was eating close to 3K calories a day before I really started monitoring it - sycor Jul 23, 09:18 4
    - I have self-control issues when food is on a plate in front of me. I say I will only eat half, but I eat it all. -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 09:22 3
      - yes, there is a whole mentality about finishing what is on your plate. - groiny Jul 23, 09:23 1
        
        I've definitely changed from fried rice to white rice all the time now. - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:25
      - yeah, that's difficult as well. especially when it's something yummy. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:23
- You should only eat out on Wednesdays. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 09:04
- I'd almost rather not eat out at all - it is a mental thing for sure - Epiphany Jul 23, 09:03 17
  - Jason's deli is horrible. - groiny Jul 23, 09:09 13
    - I get the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich (hold the guac and tomato) - ty97 Jul 23, 09:20
    - yes it is -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 09:15
    - I need to look up their nutritional info I think. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:13 7
      - I was getting a chicken ranchero wrap - groiny Jul 23, 09:16 6
        
        HOLY CRAP the Yankee (without any dressings) is 1189. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:18 5
        
        A Chipotle Burrito - guac and SC is less than that. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:19
        
        chicken fingers and ranch at Applebee's is about that. can't remember if that's before or after the fries. it's crazy -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:19 2
        
        yes, but those are fried. You expect those to be bad. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:20 1
        
        exactly. Plus it's always the dipping sauces (and dressings) that are high in calories. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:21
        
        They disguise themselves as healthy, but they are not so much. - groiny Jul 23, 09:19
    - yeah I was surprised a club sub from Jersey Mikes was more calories than 10 nuggets and fries from wendys. - sycor Jul 23, 09:12 2
      - Mmmm. A giant #9 = one of my favorite lunches. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:12 1
        
        Hi there. -- nm - Number Nine Jul 23, 09:13
  - myfitnesspal.com has been awesome for me to plan out meals. and when I'm going out on the weekend I just plan ahead with my meals. that way I can - sycor Jul 23, 09:04 2
    - "Eating less of it" is also a key. Or eating more of the low-cal stuff (like salad or fruit) and *then* eating the normal stuff. - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:07 1
      - yeah caloric intake is a big part of it. I went off my diet for a couple weeks due to alot going on. but I've been able to maintain by just keeping - sycor Jul 23, 09:09
- you learn what you can and can't eat at just about everywhere. - groiny Jul 23, 08:52 33
  - I'm shocked i've stayed sideways the last 7 weeks. - Will Hunting Jul 23, 08:58 30
    - I don't know about Hardees, and I will not eat McDonalds - groiny Jul 23, 09:01 29
      - McDonald's is okay if you do a hamburger and a salad. -- nm - Callisto Jul 23, 09:09 2
        
        yeah, i set pretty simple rules to follow at fast food, and they seem to work for maintenance. no fries, diet soda is the gist of it. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:10 1
        
        Yep. Fries are off the menu now. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:11
      - Even the jr roast beefs are like 300 calories. - Will Hunting Jul 23, 09:08 3
        
        I don't think that is right. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:09 2
        
        I'm almost positive that's what it said when I looked it up, I was in shock. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 09:10 1
        
        I get a regular roast beef and a potato cake - groiny Jul 23, 09:11
      - Wendy's new salads are decent, but skip the additional stuff like cheeses and croutons. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:05
      - anyone tried the new McDonald smoothies? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 09:04 2
        
        Not too bad for a large: strawberry banana is 330 calories, Wild Berry is 320. - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:10
        
        Not yet. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:08
      - If I eat at mcDs or Wendys I stick with the chicken nuggets. usually less calories than the burgers -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:03 17
        
        10 piece nuggets is more calories than the double cheeseburger. FYI. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:06 3
        
        I hate McDs burgers. so I get the nuggets. but I also plan my meals ahead so my caloric intake doesn't get messed up. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:11 2
        
        I refuse to eat there. If I have to (kids, so I am stuck there sometimes) - groiny Jul 23, 09:12 1
        
        I don't eat there often and it's never my first or even 2nd choice. :) -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:14
        
        The basic burgers aren't so bad, usually. I think the McD's hamburger is something like 250 calories -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 23, 09:04 12
        
        That basic burgers are just bread and a dollop of meat though. Go for the nuggets -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 09:18
        
        A regular burger there is what you eat when you need a quick snack before dinner. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 09:09
        
        Adults eat the basic McD hamburger? I get the Big 'n' Tasty, which is 460. -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 09:06 9
        
        Mushroom and Swiss Angus burger. Decadent. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:13 5
        
        770. Totally worth it. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:14 4
        
        blech. Those "angus" burgers taste like anus burgers. - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:16 3
        
        wash your hands, dummy! -- nm - Max Jul 23, 09:29
        
        you're a weird dude. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:17 1
        
        I'm sure more people would side on the "McDonald's burgers are nasty." Because they are. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:26
        
        That's usually what I get (or Whopper Jr at Burger King) if I get a fast food craving. Keeps me full for hours too. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 23, 09:09 2
        
        Yup, Whopper Jr. for me too. -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 09:20
        
        well, you weigh as much as one of my legs. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:13
  - It's difficult when traveling though. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 08:56 1
    - yes and no. - groiny Jul 23, 08:58
- for me, it's all about moderation. I know I mentioned the other week that I had lost 16 lbs according to the Wii and some ppl said the Wii was not - sycor Jul 23, 08:50 3
  - sweet! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 08:59
  - Nice. I was going to mention that if you weighed at the start, and then that was the change, that I'd think it'd be fairly accurate. - JaxSean Jul 23, 08:55 1
    - yeah I started out a doctor's office. and this one was at a hospital. so I will just call it "even" -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 09:01
this is what my friends and I are talking about in email today. -- (link) - workmanda Jul 23, 08:44 9
- I'll take a Chip 'n' Dale stout. -- nm - nubby Jul 23, 09:03 1
  - "Are your kids obsessed with Alvin and the Chipmunks? Don't fight it. Show them your support with one of these." -- nm - Max Jul 23, 09:13
- that's.... well, it's creative. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 08:49
- *laughing* - groiny Jul 23, 08:49 1
  - You know there are dildo bottles out there somewhere. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 09:01
- I don't think I want to be near anyone who drinks that - zork Jul 23, 08:48
- o.m.g. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 08:47
- wtf? That's just wrong. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 08:47 1
  - Yeah. People, just cause you can do something doesn't mean you should. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 23, 08:56
#1 for #2!!! nm - Jim Jul 23, 08:42 3
- dammit...the IM slowed me down -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 08:42 2
  - you got pwned by JenBro. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 08:48 1
    - its jim, he gets pwned by everyone. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 08:49
G;Morning ST -- nm - JenBro Jul 23, 08:42 3
- yo -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 08:56 2
  - OH HEY - did you see my question about what you got in the WOOT BOC? -- nm - JenBro Jul 23, 08:59 1
    - Haven't received it yet. Did get a notice that they shipped my lights about 2 days ago, so should get something in the next week. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 08:59
