  1. Hey now, I thought this was a judgment-free zone.
  2. See, there’s this guy . . . in a store . . .
  3. “His mom was loved, by many.”
  4. This is a “bony knees, would not bang” type of post.
  5. And when Sark talks about it at the presser.
  6. The Quest chips have some decent flavors, but have the texture of cardboard. But those gainz, tho . . . .
  7. Or you could just give a narrative description of how they tasted.
  8. The pics look great. Thanks!
  9. Do ditch diggers have hangers on?

    Please help me stuff the ballots for Asleep at the Wheel. 2025 ACL Music Festival Lineup Census
  11. Sterlin Gilbert didn't get that memo.
  12. He must be proud of your Surly handle.
  13. One other note about the Fitbit -- I like how it automatically picks up an activity and starts logging it even if you don't start the app. Often this happens when I'm walking my dog and I just forget to start it. But I recently noticed that it'll start logging activity during sex with my wife, and for whatever reason the exercise it selects is "spinning," which makes me chuckle.
  14. I've been using a Fitbit a little less than a year and I like it. I regularly check my steps, sleep data, and exercise logs. I don't adhere to any sort of daily goal or metric outside of the 10,000 steps, but it's nice to monitor my overall fitness routine on a daily basis as an additional motivator. I don't use it for the calorie counter, because weight management right now is not a concern for me. I can't figure out the cardio load. I thought nothing of it, but all of a sudden after three straight days in the gym (which is not uncommon for me), it alerts me to take a recovery day for the next two days, like I'm no the verge of a cardiac event. I'm not even sure what the metric is, and am too lazy to find out. I've read some reviews comparing the Apple Watch to the Fitbit. Seems like you want the Apple Watch for music and other aspects of basically having your iPhone on your wrist, but as a fitness tool I'm not sure it's clearly better. And you have to charge an Apple Watch almost daily, where I can go about 5 days between Fitbit charges.
  15. First, congrats! I went through this last year with my first kid, and regardless of the ultimate destination, it's fun seeing all the options rolling out for your children. Second, one of my best friend's daughter is a sophomore at CU. She absolutely loves it. But she got a pittance of merit aid. And, she's in an apartment this year, and I forgot the monthly nut, but it's incredible, even split three ways with roommates, but I guess not surprising given what I've read of the housing costs in Boulder. So factor that into the budget if your kids go there.
  16. You just burned 35 calories posting that. Keep up the good work!!!
  17. We’re going to meltdown after the Spring Game.
  18. So ice cream topped with chopped brisket is not considered kosher?
  19. My ex and I used to take our kids camping at Garner State Park every Spring when they were little. We’d go to Neal’s at Concon our first night after setting up camp and I’d get the pepper steak every time. It’s awesome.
