They immediately deleted your post in the Achewood facebook group, AD.  With extreme prejudice.

how unhappy New Yorkers are and how it's hard to have a family there.

Right, that's why people move there from all over the world and it's the most populous city in the country. Because it's such a terrible place to be.

Odd, I can see the post just fine.  But Facebook has been deleting comments of mine at random so who knows, man

wombat-- that's what I said. I sent them a study about how people rate themselves as "less happy" when they start a challenging job or have kids.

Well played.

And Ash, you can blame that at least in part on the Technical Staff, although who knows if I'd be able to get a job in NYC if I wanted one. It's not like Canada where there's legal preference for the natives or anything.

Insurance companies are evil. I'm sure they have whole departments devoted to thinking up such intricate ways to be evil.

As a former insurance industry regulator, I can assure that this is exactly the case.

Remember, you need at least 4 feet of depth or you'll still smell the decomp.

I am having a Problem with my knees and the doctor says I need to start wearing real shoes. You know, with arch support and stuff. I did not realize how vain I am about my cool shoes, but I am having issues finding a single pair of sneakers that I would wear. That aren't "retro" bad-for-your-feet ones.

My wife was recently despairing over her inability to walk more than a couple blocks without making her knees hurt for the next few days.  She bought new shoes for the kids, then picked up a pair of sneakers for herself to replace the ones her toe was wearing though.  Its been like magic, she can walk for miles now, day after day.
Buy yourself some ding-dong long bell bottoms and you won't have to see them?

When you feel the comfort of old-fart shoes you will gladly wave goodbye to "style".  Style is for the sore-footed.

Come to cushioned side, Luke.  Together we shall walk around the galaxy.

I am up to running 5 miles a day.  I bike another 5 most days (just wherever I need to be that is reasonable to bike to.)  My left leg is probably broken.  My feet are in constant pain.  I wear cool shoes.  Just say fuck it!  Don't listen to these old fools.

Edit- I am hella close to being an old fool now.

I used to wear Chuck Taylor's most of the time. I had to give them up and start wearing shoes with support.

It's weird that the way fashion has gone is that I wear brown leather shoes and the "uncool" shoes I don't wanna wear are mostly shiny and brightly colored.

I'm not gonna ignore this, because I am too young for it to hurt when I stand up. I might just get inserts though. Really intense inserts. I have bow-legs and my feet turn out at a sharp angle, so apparently my knees are going to deteriorate really quickly if I don't do something about it. Exercises and better shoes.
