Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Oh, fats. Been meaning to ask. My triglycerides TRIPLED in a year, weight down minisculey, blood sugar down, bmi down, blood pressure down. HDL is down 30% and LDL is up 18% so clearly all that fatness trend is going wrong, but to triple in one year, it pinged me as way way wonky.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have no idea about that stuff. Triglycerides are bad?

I need to get back to tracking my food, but it's such a tightrope act for me. It can too easily lead to me not eating because I get obsessive about hitting my numbers.

I refuse to let my eating rule my life to that extent, and I'm diabetic. I know what I should eat, and instituting a system where I get obsessive about what I consume will not enhance my life.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The phone guys are in the manhole. I wish that were as exciting as it sounds. But no; they are literally in a manhole. Or at least one is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Manhole was my favorite name for a gay bar.

Being in front of a computer as much as I am makes tracking much easier than if I was out and about a lot. I don't think I am obsessive about it, but it is kinda like a puzzle game to me. I can swap this for that or skip this or add that. If I know I'm going to eat out then other meals that day slide toward low calorie low fat options.

Also I just don't buy some stuff anymore since I won't be mindful with it. Tostitos lime chips, cereal, sweet cinnamon almonds,

I enjoy tracking data in general, so getting obsessive about tracking what I eat is more just channeling that than creating a new thing to do. It works for me. I totally get it's not for everyone.

The Manhole was my favorite name for a gay bar.

We had a gay bar called The Pipeline; in the basement was a separate bar called The Manhole.

Oh my god, those chips are made with crack. They HAVE to be. Also Snapea Crisps. I can eat the whole bag in 2 seconds flat. And, of course, TJs Baconesque popcorn.

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

We had a gay bar called The Pipeline; in the basement was a separate bar called The Manhole.

"Welcome to the Manhole, guv'nor. What can I get you?"
"I'd like an entendre, my good man. And make mine a double."
