You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I wish to thank the Reasons for bringing reasonable summer weather to Portland. At least for last night. Within hours of their arrival, the temperature cooled to a totally tolerable level. Once i got home last night, i turned off the AC and slept with all windows flung wide open, delighting in the breeze and even getting chilly enough to pull my sheet up over my feet. I may regret leaving the ac off today while i'm at work, but the breeze was just too delish to lock out this morning as i was leaving for work.
Oh yeah, and the book event was fun too.

bt, that sounds like an AWESOME week. Well, except for Slacker!Grandpa. Is it due to busy schedule? Or is there family friction? Can't imagine wanting to not see such an adorable baby.
I cannot stop watching the shiny new TV. I didn't realize how crappy the old TV truly was.I've had mine for a year now, and am still in the same boat. Upgraded from a floor model 29" CRT to a brand spanking new 42" LCD. To this day I marvel at how much better the image is. And as a result, am watching a *lot* more TV and movies. Now I need to upgrade the hi-fi, so the movies *sound* better as well.

Question for the hive mind. I am going to make an attempt to do some mild work outs. I will be attacking the exercise bike at the free gym in our apartment complex. Dual pronged reason. Primary reason: to burn off some of this fat (well, hopefully a LOT of it). Secondary reason: to get legs up to par so buying a trike isn't a total waste of money. So the question, is it better to "ride" for a longer duration with less/little resistance, or shorter with more? I seem to recall something about cardio needs to be x minutes long to get the heart rate up, and after y minutes, it's not burning all that much calories. But, I could be wrong. Anyone know off the tops of heads, so I don't have to waste time searching the internet?

We went through that too. We replaced a 24" RCA CRT that was never all that great with a 37" LCD and the difference with the same SDTV input was amazing. Looking at photos on the TV was especially a whole new experience.

All is well that ends in pizza.
That probably explains why Coraline in 3-D was not very 3-D on our old 27 inch CRT made in the last century.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
omnis, if you push yourself too hard (ie, crank up the resistance as high as you can) and get into anaerobic exercise territory you aren't so much burning fat. Longer time and lower resistance is the ticket for that. Higher resistance will build muscle faster, but also make you more sore the next day, so I, for one, find it harder to keep up.
I have heard that l0-30 minutes of cardio is some sort of sweet spot as far as duration goes but I don't remember where that information comes from.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I might be going to check out this R Crumb exhibit in Santa Ana tomorow.

thanks -t. That's what I seemed to recall. For the first few forays, I'm aiming for 20-30 min cruises with a little resistance. I don't want to be sore, as that will not encourage me to try again, but I do want to burn some fat.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
o_a, cardio workouts should be 30-60 minutes. If you're trying to burn calories, you should aim for 85% or so of your maximum heart rate. You can use {205.8 − (0.685 × age)} to get your max HR.
That's all with a grain of salt - if you have a doc, I'd strongly recommend discussing this with her.
Also, the traditional formula for increasing resistance/time/mileage is to add 10% of your previous week's r/t/m. So, if you cycled for 20 minutes last week, go for 22.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I don't know if this translates into international contexts, but here, there are various types of disability allowances - not just ones to replace income if you can't work. I get one to help with my care and mobility needs. You have to reapply for these at several-year intervals, depending on how your situation has been assessed. Well, three years on from my last award, I'm reapplying. And I would just like to say: After this? Writing a PhD thesis will be a breeze. My current MA dissertation is going to seem like a nice holiday in the sun, when I have the time to get to back it, in comparison. We're at 6,000 words and counting, and it's all about how crappy and useless I am. How... exciting. After five hours on this today, I'm now going to bed.
IsomewhatmorefunN: had dim sum for lunch! There is nothing more delicious.
Glamcookie, yay for baby loveliness!
omnis, I have not the experience with the exercise (except odd bits of swimming), but good luck with it.
New TVs (and mattresses) are fantastic things. I go to the electronics shops and stare at the HD-TVs. I do not need one. But, dude. Beautiful.
