the stampede of answers when a woman posts a question compared to sloooooooooow answers for other people :P

by tig2

The stampede of answers when a regular posts. That may also be a driver.

We have no real way to know anyone's gender. That is why we use screen names. Think about it.

by jiminpa

I find that works best. Whether you intended to come off as an a$$ or it was just taken that way, you have to consider how your comments will be taken both ways. You had to know you would cause a bit of an uproar with you statement. Maybe that was your intention. Must be nice to have a job where you are so bored...

by tig2

That I'm a girl and missing a breast, I don't think that is the criteria being followed.

Your question is in very poor taste. THAT may be why you aren't getting the attention you seem to desire.

by tig2

If you had started this discussion, I'd have just sent you pics from the last wet t-shirt contest and called it good.

There are things that certain people can do without anyone getting irritated. Newbs that have spent several days spewing idiocy generally aren't in that number.

by jdclyde

if that was going to fly or not.

I had refused to post until this. my way of saying "no".

by ontheropes

Saved me from sending you an email. :0
I was offended by the post. Glad I'm not the only one.

by jdclyde

Is it really that easy to offend you?

I was not and am not offended by other peoples stupidity.

I just see where there is no place for that.

Although it seems some people think it would make someone qualified to be President?

by jaqui

I would be to distracted to accomplish anything ;)

In all seriousness, unless the members name is clearly female, we have no clue what gender they are.

a well phrased question, with enough information to enable a reasonable reply will always get more responses than one where we have no idea what someone is looking at.

by the scummy one

there are quite a few nonesense threads/questions that get a lot of replies. They are likely to not contain any real info, but there ae still replies

by ontheropes

might not bother anybody else and vice-versa. That's why people aren't the same, huh? It'd be too boring. :D

Besides all that, I'm just sitting here watching the X-Files, aren't you supposed to be working instead of hanging out at TR? :0

by jaqui

I finished for the day at 8:00 am pacific time.
I should be getting to bed right now :p

by ontheropes

that you don't keep banker's hours. Me either but I'm usually in bed before 2200. Sleep like a log too.

by ontheropes

It's called "The Biggest Loser-Couples" and the over-weight/obese contestants are in a contest to see which pairing can lose the most weight and win a prize. The men weigh-in without shirts on and holy-crap, there are some man-boobs there! They need a Bro. (Seinfeld's Kramer humor-not sure if you'll get it.)

Seriously, how long does it take for skin to shrink? I've got my fair share of excess and would like to see it go.

by Member 25348569

I'm losing weight very slowly - 251b has taken nearly a year - so I don't have much of a problem but I'd like to lose another 401b before I'm done.

Thinking about pregnant women and how much they expand and contract shows that skin does shrink back but they're all got much younger skin than my tired old envelope!

Neil :D

by maecuff

The fact that you are losing the weight slowly only means that you are more likely to keep it off.

You're doing this in a healthy way. Don't get down on yourself. You should be very proud of what you accomplished.

Now, please, don't make me have to post anything nice and encouraging ever again. It makes me queasy.

by jellimonsta

Or did the PC get hacked by your 'not-so-evil twin'? :D
BTW, good for you Neil for keeping with the exercise. I have been vowing to work out for about 5 years now. :0

by Member 25348569

Seriously, every little helps, so thanks for the encouragement, Mae. Coming from you it's APPRECIATED! And not a little unexpected!

Neil :D

You have to reckon, though, on our British self-deprecating humour and realise that, really, I think I'm doing rather well at this weight loss lark but don't want to boast TOO much...

by jdclyde

and neither does she.

How can she run on "change" if the only thing people see is thinking this is a work-around to get Bill back for more of the same?

China deals anyone?

Besides, Bill is a boob, not a breast.

by jdclyde

As I really wasn't looking to get into a political pissing match right now.

Wish there was a single Candidate running that I felt represented ME and what I feel is important. :( Back to the old "Who do I loath the least"...... [i] ~sigh~

by jdclyde

that he was giggling like "a school girl with a crush" the whole time he was posting it.

He forgets you have to be respectful to the chicks..... ;\

by jdclyde

Have you seen the effect having a second/third/fourth child has on the female body?

It seems the more/longer things are stretched out of shape, the less they want to go back.

Attaboy for keeping at it Neil. too many people give up after not losing the 50 lbs after the first or second workout.

by Member 25348569

I've been a lardarse for a long time so the repeated stretch/shrink scenario doesn't apply. However....the "longer things are stretched out of shape" fits me too, too well!

I've plateaued for the past couple of months so I'm going to have to up the ante soon. The whole thing kicked off with me feeling a bit ashamed after contemplating Tig's walking and I set myself 65000 paces per week and I've missed the target just once (didn't walk on Christmas Day). I don't want to diet so I'm trying to just walk the flab away and I calculate that I've walked over 3.8million paces since I started this exactly a year ago.

:D

by apotheon

I just happen to be watching Hillary on CSPAN as I read this thread. She scares me significantly more than Bill ever did as a (potential) President.

[b]jdclyde:[/b]

"[i]Wish there was a single Candidate running that I felt represented ME and what I feel is important.[/i]"

Have you considered Ron Paul? I'm just curious.

by Member 25348569

25 and 40 lb - from the Latin "librum", pound, and yours are the same as ours. If we calculate in Baht, we get 4 and 6.5 GBP and a single Tig-recommended walking sock costs more than that!

Neil :D

Thanks for the National Geographic reference. I reckon I'll have to start another Evolution thread when I have less work on.

by ontheropes

CalcPlus, has baht as unit of measure for weight. I see that baht is currency too.

I thought it was odd to discover fast evolution in a Darwin Finch. Maybe it's just me but I get a kick out of those kinds of coincidences. God has a sense of humor. :^0 :^0

by maecuff

That would be unseemly.

Speaking of exersize. I am now being FORCED to start exercising. I get blood drawn every 6 months to monitor a health condition that I've had for years and this last go around caused my doctor to call me into her office. It seems that somewhere along the way, I've become diabetic. That's just so inconvenient...

by Member 25348569

Hopefully you'll be able to keep tabs on that with diet and exercise. There have been quite a few with type II diabetes in my family, including my Dad and he was still going strong in his 80s. It's one of the reasons that I'm (finally) trying to lose a few dozen pounds.

Neil :)

I'll try and work on some diabetic jokes for the next Yuk.

Oh, and whatever you do, don't get any diabetic candy with Xylitol! Trust me in this! I got my dad some diabetic toffee on his birthday and, when he finally got out of the toilet, he didn't speak to me for a week.

by jellimonsta

Your diabetic toffee story reminded me of one my mom (who was diagnosed type II last year) told me. Last summer she gave some sugar free candy to my (then) 3 year old cousin. That day she had an accident in her pants.
For 3 weeks following, whenever offered regular candy, she would ask "I won't sh!t my pants will I?". I guess my mom got some heat from her sister due to laughing whenever that statement came out. :D

by maecuff

I'm just barely there..so I'm not too worried. I just haven't been working out at all. I think once I pick that back up I'll see a difference. I go back in 4 weeks and I fully expect to see a big difference.

No Xylitol. Got it.

by tig2

Sugar free candy that doesn't pack that little "side effect". If you can resist it, Mae, do so. Otherwise you will be cutting ALL the fibre from your diet and living on Immodium. Not good!

by jdclyde

While I am tired of us playing world police AND world welfare office to an ungrateful world, I don't think an isolationist attitude is the answer.

Enough with supporting the enemy of your enemy.

Enough with bribes in the form of aid to all countries.

Enough fighting other peoples wars.

But keeping a strong relationship with real allies would be a good thing.

How does he stand on drilling our own oil to reduce dependency to enemy states? Building processing plants? Building nuke plants? Refusing to be extorted by the green movement?

by apotheon

"[i]While I am tired of us playing world police AND world welfare office to an ungrateful world, I don't think an isolationist attitude is the answer.[/i]"

Well, good -- because Ron Paul doesn't have anything like an isolationist policy. Where do people get these ideas? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that all the other Republican candidates want everyone to believe that "I don't want to attack other countries!" translates to an "isolationist" policy.

It doesn't.

In fact, Ron Paul has the least isolationist economic policy of all candidates on both sides of the aisle.

"[i]But keeping a strong relationship with real allies would be a good thing.[/i]"

What kind of strong relationship? I don't see where a Ron Paul administration would have anything but strong relationships with our real allies.

"[i]How does he stand on drilling our own oil to reduce dependency to enemy states?[/i]"

I don't know if he has made a clear statement about that as part of his campaign platform, but that's not surprising -- neither has anyone else. He's sure to favor domestic energy over foreign energy where at all practical, however, since he's a strong supporter of economic freedom.

"[i]Building processing plants? Building nuke plants?[/i]"

If it's actually economically feasible -- I'm sure he'd be all over that. He'd let energy industry entrepreneurs make those decisions based on circumstances in the economy, though, rather than based on some kind of politically expedient power-brokering.

"[i]Refusing to be extorted by the green movement?[/i]"

If you don't already have a sense that he'd be about the least easy President to extort or bribe of the last century, you haven't been paying attention.

by jdclyde

he clearly said he would return ALL US military personal to the US. No more troops of any kind, anywhere in the world.

Do you believe it is in our best interests to not have any military bases anywhere else in the world?

Got some links of interest? I am willing to hear what you have to say, even if I don't think third parties do anything but act as a spoiler in major elections and are the reason we got stuck with Bill Clinton in the first place. If it comes down to McCain, I would be willing to entertain Paul as an option instead of Obama, as I will never vote for McCain or Clinton.

by apotheon

You want a link? Here's one comparing all the candidates: [url=http://knowbeforeyouvote.com/][b]knowbeforeyouvote.com[/b][/url]

By the way . . . Dr. Paul isn't a third-party candidate. He's one of the Republican nominees. If you're registered Republican and in a state where the primary or caucus hasn't happened yet, you can help ensure he gets more delegates to the Republican National Convention than McCain.

by jdclyde

that was two weeks ago? Mitt took Michigan.

I was surprised at the results though. With the Democratic party refusing to seat ANY Michigan delegates (because of moving the vote forward without "permission"). Hillary was the only major contender on the ballot for the dems, and her win means nothing because it won't count for anything.

Because of the Democratic vote meaning nothing, no matter what happened, I figured more Dems would vote in the Republican for a spoiler (McCain). You don't have to be a Republican to vote here and it is so much BS. What moron allows people not in the party to help choose the candidate for the party?

Anywho, McCain lost and all is well.

Will go read your link in a bit.

by ontheropes

From what I've seen whenever Ron Paul is mentioned in the news there's some comment regarding his Libertarian viewpoint. I think it's intentionally misleading so that people don't understand that he's a Republican candidate.

by jdclyde

because they think he is the easiest to beat once it gets to the final election.

And he is.

by jdclyde

they just won't go away.

We don't have any reporters or journalists left anymore. We are now stuck with all commentators, and there is a big difference.

They are trying to control who will win by the intentionally dishonest and distorted coverage.

Side note, Ron Pauls supporters did him no favors when they near rioted over him not being included in the fox debate.

by apotheon

Yeah . . . they "near rioted" the same way Mitt Romney "exploded" at that reporter, et cetera. In other words, they didn't. Remember -- you're getting your news from (drumroll please) . . . the mainstream news media.
