Sophia you seriously need to work in a place with less stupid people! (although the stories are amusing)

The funny thing is, it isn't just one stupid person! Although I would not say stupid so much as not really thinking through things. I mean, these people are all (except my nemisis) competent at their jobs!

I think we got the dog before I met Buffista Betsy, although I think they have been to an f2f together and I did find myself hoping that she didn't think that I thought she had a canine appearance or something. Her old vet used to say she was the "friendliest Jack Russell" he'd ever met so that wouldn't be a slam on a Buffista would it?

Wait, what's wrong with Josh Malina?

Now I am looking at Weight Watchers point values, and I think that I totally eat within my Weight Watchers points (I get 28, because I am over 200 lbs). I mean, not every day, but I am not losing or trying to lose weight.

I also think it is weird that they adjust your points lower for age because your metabolism slows as you age. I am thinking that maybe our metabolism slows as we age so that we can have some fat stores when we are old and sick.

Also, what is "cornmeat"?

I think what she is doing is saving points from healthy things she used to eat so that she can eat other things that have higher points.

See, that I totally understand. (Says the woman who is eating a very healthy, light-calorie lunch because she plans on having Tasty Booze at the club tonight.) But the way she phrased it ...

Same here. I am eating very sensibly for lunch so I can have a burger tonight. But not having an apple?? They're only 1 point. And, WW totally stresses eating healthy choices over not-so-healthy ones.

Brad Whitford bags all over him in that Q&A, apparently because he's been mocking the mustache via twitter.

Also, what is "cornmeat"?

A typo for cornmeal?

I once worked with a woman whose doctor told her that she had to lose weight, to help get her blood pressure down. So she went to the store and bought "diet" this and "lite" that, everything either canned or frozen - processed to the max. Then, at some point, she looked at the sodium content ... and hit the roof, totally outraged that they'd put all that nasty sodium in her nice, healthy, low-cal food.

Heh. One of the (many, amazing!) perks to having our registered dietitian friend living with us is that I am learning a lot about nutrition. Such as butter is your friend! This is what portion sizes really look like! Wacky, I tell you.
