I was thinking that maybe on the upcoming board anniversary we could reset everyone's cans to zero, sorta like erasing Original Sin and giving everyone a clean slate.

The entire membership would then be in a perfect state of grace, an absolute balance in the TOUAMB universe.  Does one dare disturb that balance?  What are the ramifications of giving or taking a can when everyone is equal?

I was thinking that it was interesting that the whole can thing had slipped into the background.  Trust Jough to find that boring and want to shake things up.

No!  Now think about what you've done.

"Pretty awesome" does not begin to cover the transcendent command of the English language Mr Eliot possessed.

Well Hobot, I'm going to use MY transcendant command of the English language to pronounce you:

Hur, it rhymes.

Yes, it doesn't begin to cover how much of an insufferable prick he was either.  Too bad he was so damned good... *sigh*


Also, Hometown boy!  We few and far between river boys have to stick together I guess.

He looked rather fit.  A good example for the thread about trying to be more healthy.

I lost 1.2 pounds at my weigh in.  Nothing like the 11.8 from the week before, but it's pretty damn good I think.  I'm doing good every day sticking to my guns and staying on program.  Gotta get more exercise though.

11.8?

DAAYUMM!

TS Elislut is about right.


OK, so, as long as we're on health: what is the healthy way to gain weight? For the past 18 years I've been on the "eat junk food and the good lord will provide" diet, and it has not really worked for me. I guess I need to gain muscle? I think my current track ends up with my metabolism dying, diabetis (this is how that man pronounces it. Dia-beet-is), etc.

By "that man," do you mean Wilford Brimley? 

You don't get diabetes by being too skinny.  You get diabetes by looking like Mr Brimley. 

Thank you, Judy, for providing a moniker I am more than happy to adopt.  See the text beneath my avatar for proof.

I put in this week's weight loss into my diet software and it gave me an error:

"Please correct weight.  It is physically impossible to lose more than 2-4 lbs in a week."

Wonderful.

Anyway, my scale is nowhere near accurate, but it should be at least relatively accurate (calculating weight loss if not actual weight correctly) and I'm down 6.5-7 lbs. since last Tuesday.

Not that I can notice any difference.  I mean, I still have over 200lbs to go.

Hobe-- I was referring to the fact that judging by the rest of my family, my metabolism will lose all speed, resulting in corpulence. And my diet of high-fat and high-sugar foods will bite me in the ass.

Juvenile-onset (type I) diabetics are very often preternaturally skinny. But, yeah, being significantly overweight over time can cause diabetes too. Most diabetics today are type-II, probably because of the general tendency toward overweight.

It's a hell of a lot easier to do what Jough is doing now than 10 years from now. In my experience, college is a great time to start - meals are cooked for you, lots of veggies available, and a free gym at your disposal. Plus you walk everywhere. So quit eating shit, do some cardio, and hit the weight room. Take a silly little 2 credit gym class in something you're interested in, and you'll be fine. You'll find plenty of gym rats who'll be more than happy to show you around.

And congrats on everybody's weight loss! I'm up slightly this week, but between stress eating and a visit from MC Menses, I'd be amazed if I wasn't. I got to bike about 12 miles yesterday, and I have a nice long walk planned for tonight, so I'm happy.
