Jiggy-Z

Giant twin pack of jiff extra crunchy at Costco. Good with dark chocolate.

Well, if you can think of a better way way to cure a case Vitas Gerulaitis, I 'm all ears.

Is that Rose from Ozark in the bottom right?

21 if you count the posthumously released "21". I have read the series (1-20) twice and it was not an all consuming endeavor with late night page turning. The writing is such that you must spend some time with it in an effortful process. In fact I stopped from time to time to read other stuff. the writing is just so good that you will be pretty disappointed with almost anything else. A couple of my favorite recollections as best as I can recall: 1.Dr. Matrurin had taken a sloth on board as kind of naturalist observation subject. Aubrey was dismayed that the creature took an almost instant dislike to him while being docile with everyone else on board including the shrewish Killick, his cabin steward. One day Aubrey discovered the sloth approaching him as he was writing at his desk and was able to ply the the creature with a small sip of rum. After taking the drink the sloth retreated and Aubrey went back to work only to be interrupted minutes later with the sloth gently pulling on his uniform sleeve for another drink. Aubrey being pleased with himself continued the practice until one day Stephen discovered the sloth had gotten into some rations and was completely drunk. Irate, Matrurin berated Jack telling him that he had "debauched his sloth". 2. Jack and Stephen were debating the merits of the punishment of death for a sailor who had been caught having relations with goat. The argument was quite heated with Stephen arguing for leniency and Jack for the rule of law in the navy. At one point they were interrupted by Killick serving tea. Jack asked Stephen if he wanted milk in his tea, to which Stephen asked, if it was goats milk...."the" goat's milk. Jack responded, "yes, I believe it is". Stephen relied "perhaps not". Can't wait.

I agree. This method was something I was forced into because of injury. I tend to believe the exercise is more than just 10-20% of the equation and I usually go pretty intense on exercise and a little less on my diet. It has been killing me. Back in pre injury days I would love to do sprints, play ultimate frisbee, rock climb, boulder, and body weight stuff-now I just walk. Might as well get some some of those thick soled shoes and go to the mall with the rest of the old folks. I actually kind of believe in "crash dieting" for the first couple of weeks in a weight loss program. I think it can be motivational and kick start some habits like reduced alcohol that will take hold. Of course, I have never been more than 25lbs overweight, so 2-3 weeks of quick results is all I gets before I need to start honing in on things.

As a concrete contractor, this is killing me. Once it does stop raining my schedule is going to be jacked for the rest of the summer.

Sandusky?

I don't. If I had to guess, Alec Baldwin, but that doesn't make any sense.

glorified med clinic.

Jiggy-Z update: From my previous post on my crazy one meal a day big salad, no alcohol, and walk 1 hr a day diet. Previous summary: Went from 202 to 186 in about three weeks. Stalled out around 182 with a family vacation and fishing/camping trip also. Wrist and elbows healing nicely should be ready for climbing as soon as I hit 180. I am so tired of walking.

My youngest son did the same thing. One of those nickel sized batteries. Went to Seton SW then to to Dell Children's. By the time we got Dell Childrens the Battery was already almost through his pyloric valve, so we were in the clear and noting else was done. $1,600 fro Seton SW who basically did nothing by call Dell and $2,600 at Dell for an X ray. Ended up negotiating with Seton SW and Dell would not negotiate so they did not get paid. What a night that was.

I blame a cold February series with OU at the Dish for the birth of my first son. I took my girlfriend there for Sunday's game my Jr. year in February '88. We snuck in over the visitor bullpen wall (this was years before they put in the razor wire. Girlfriend thought it would be fun rather than paying-go figure). We were sitting in the cheap seats bleachers and it was one of the post cold front days that was sunny but cold with a deceptively cold wind. I was appropriately dressed but my girlfriend was wearing a rugby shirt and a miniskirt (hilarious to watch here scale the visitors bullpen wall in a miniskirt). After awhile she got cold(from drinking the beer I also snuck in) so I went to get some hot chocolate. Upon my return as I was handing her a cup, I tripped and spilled the hot chocolate all over her. Sooooo.....we went back to my place and she got undressed and put her stuff in the wash and one thing led to another and next thing you know fast forward to the Wednesday before spring break and she is pregnant, despite being on birth control (health center botched the prescription and Jiggy-Z too manly). Over time we did the math and timing with cycles etc and were able to pin down the date of conception. So cold baseball + cold beer + bumbling and strong like bull Jiggy-Z =son #1.

Seems a little unorthodox.

The Franklin Mint scoffs at your miniatures.

For an unexpected look at fine art paintings, next time you are in New Orleans, head over to MS Rau's in the quarter. Also has some amazing high end antiques. https://rauantiques.com/collections/paintings

In Russia, race finish you.

The Israel/Palestine issue just never seems to go away. They have been at it in its present configuration for almost 75 years and historically for much longer. I have read this tread in its entirety and am more confused than when I started. I guess if I had one question for those of you that are knowledgeable on this it would be: If you could go back to 1947, and there was going to be a Jewish nation state in Jerusalem, how would it have been done differently to have avoided most of the problems since then? I'll hang up and listen.

About Treefiddy. This board is slipping.

Do we have a biggest bitch evar thread here? I have a feeling this gal would not make the top 100, if we did. A lot of Strong competition and stabby cray out there.

I hear writing helps with grief.
