Fan in Chicago

I am supporting prostitution with governing laws because (1) I see nothing wrong in people making decisions about their own body. (2) that items such as exploitation and under-age prostitution are prevented.

Yeah, he is injured and that too before he signed with the Bills.

First car was a 1987 Corolla LE that I bought in 1991 from a dealer near Orchard Park. Plain ole thing but to me, buying a car with my own money from a first job was coolness personified.

Sorry for the bump guys, but it appears that the stars are aligning for me such that the training camp in Pittsford will be right smack in the middle of my trip! I am ecstatic. I will try to get tickets for July 26th afternoon practice and would love to meet some of you guys there. BTW, we ended up making reservations for the Extended Stay America in Amherst.

Just because he was officially released by the Falcons is no excuse to resurrect this thread. And a big no to both your points. And who is 'we' ?

Time will be the top metric IMHO.

Ooopppssss ...... sorry

and now ... a blonde

In other words ... He caused a turnover or ... He missed the boat or .. Can't stay upright {sorry, sic jokes I know but I am in a crabby mood}

I have a couple of friends who went that route and got so burnt out by the trainers that they stopped going once the paid-up period was done. Like a diet, it has to be something that you can sustain forever.

Great question, actually. What got me moving was my doctor saying that I need to go on maintenance medication to get my triglycerides down - at age 39. That drove me nuts and I decided to take a 3 month membership. Never looked back and gradually increased from 3 days/week to 5 days/week. Whatever gets you motivated to start is great. I agree with Stl Bills - once you get over that initial hump, you will cruise. Tackle any potential mental excuses early on so they don't bother you in the long run. Remember, this is not a 1 week or 1 month deal - this is how you will want to lead the rest of your life. I used to think I am too tired to workout in the evenings after dinner. That turned out to be a BS excuse. I usually go between 8-8:30 pm and sometimes finish when they close at 10 pm. No tiredness, no nothing. If you are a morning person (which I am most definitely not), then workout in the morning before going to work. If late evenings is not possible, go to gym first before going home. There is not set prescription or timing - I emphasize do what works for you.

This topic is definitely NOT gay. I workout with two primary goals - cardio to keep my weight & cholesterol down and strength training to just keep my body in shape. I have been working out for the last 3 years and before that I defined the word lazy. In this time, I have lost about 4 inches off my waist and about 10-14 pounds (less fat and more muscle which is denser so net weight loss is not very significant). Toughest area for me is the gut as I still don't have the flat tummy I am looking for. But I am far far away from where I was before in a good way. As for supplements, I take a 100% whey protein shake on the days I do strength training. Perhaps it is not enough, but have increased chicken and egg white consumption slightly compared to before. If you do lot of cardio (I do about 3 and half hours on elliptical every week), I suggest adding calcium also to keep the joints problem free. Do what works for you and don't force yourself into something people say 'must be done'. The key is to be consistent and intense to the point that you are sweating/panting/sore by the time you leave the gym. Set weekly targets for yourself which are moderate and meet/exceed them no matter what. It is amazing how much you can get done while still keeping up with your daily obligations. Over time, you will figure out how much you can handle on a weekly basis. Again, keep at it. Meet your targets, say Sunday -Saturday and repeat and repeat .... Good luck and don't give up - after a while working out becomes a part of your life you cannot do without.

Besides the fact that they were manufactured under poor conditions, it really didn't have any anti-bacterial properties in the first place, right ? Like a spermicide that contains semen ? So they should also be accused of false advertising or incorrect claims about their products. P.S. stuckincincy, you should fix the spellings in your post heading

In the old days, we had the occasional idiot poster. But of late, the volume of such posters has increased along with their penchant for starting threads. If anyone is counting votes (paging SDS, Lori....) , I too like the idea of a waiting period.

In no particular order: Casino Royale Dr. No From Russia with Love Live and Let Die

Never mind then, carry on. I was wondering if you thought the discussion by other posters was said overreaction.

Over-reaction ?

My review on Netflix: ------------------------------------------------- This movie left me scratching my head. Not because I did not understand it, but it baffles me that a movie so ordinary can garner such universally great reviews in the media. This movie has all the cliched horror movie scenes from the pop-ups (which I think is a cheap device to induce 'scares') to grossness to loud (very loud) background music. This movie offers nothing by way of newness - neither the story (a woman living through a curse), not its presentation nor a campy nature. The weak plot and handling is compounded by the anemic, emotionless and expressionless performance by Allison Lohman. Her acting conveys neither dread nor terror. Justin Long tries hard but ultimately there is nothing for him to save. Me and my wife both left thoroughly disappointed. I would be generous and give it 2.5 stars but am dropping it to 2 as I expected better from Raimi. --------------------------------------------------

To expose them as snobs ?

Any neighbors should be fairly far away from this house. Not like its an apartment complex or anything ....

Fantastic stuff, Bill. Posts like these are gems. Related to Lori's question, I would like his take on our two OL picks Wood and Levitre. Has he had a chance to see them play and how he thinks they will translate into the pros. How long will it take them to become legitimate starters (if at all). Thanx !

And Illinois, please !!

HBD, gentlemen. Hope you have a great day.

Hilarious and admirable post !!
