And the formula for me breaks down to ten 8 oz. glasses a day, which is not that much more than 8 8oz. glasses, which is normally recommended, right?
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I was about to say, screw that noise! But it probably is worth $6.
I use my Points slider all the time, so I figure the $6 would be a good investment for me. Based on the new way points are calculated, though, I'm seriously going to need to revamp my go-to kind of foods as many have gone up in points.

Hey, that Sox was a mailing fool recently. I just got the coolest knitted fingerless gloves ever!

It's been a long time since I did WW, but -- why would they do that? I always thought the points system was a really good one.

The formula apparently better incorporates how carbs and protein affect you. Used to be calories/fat/fiber. Now you don't use calories -- you calculate points with carbs/protein/fat/fiber. Which makes it difficult to eyeball. Could be good in the long run (eyeballing leads to failure, IME) but seems like a hard learning curve.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It's still a points system, but it now takes into account carbs and protein along with fiber and fat. I'm still trying to figure it out myself - having the slider would be very helpful.

I'm actually pretty stoked about that.

From what I've read, the eight-glasses-a-day rule originated with studies done by nutritionists in pre-WWII Britain and does not account for the fact that a fair amount of that 64 oz. of liquid can come from the consumption of solid food. Generally speaking, "drink when you're thirsty" seems to be the best guideline, with extra only needed if you're working outside in the heat, suffering from diarrhea, or drinking alcohol (the only truly effective diuretic that people commonly consume, depite all the squawking over caffeinated beverages).
