OK, I am glad to know that other people make the Kitty Dukakis reference. People I know often don't get it. (PS: My Kitty Dukakis story involves her teaching us all how to shake hands at 8th grade graduation.)

You guys, I think I'm seeing sunlight. Not filtered. There are sharp shadows and shit.

Woo!

Far as I know, you can't use NyQuil to make meth. It's more a drink-it-straight-from-the-bottle, Kitty-Dukakis style drug.

I *love* that big fucking Q!

I'm constantly surprised by people who are actively trying to lose weight, yet don't know jack about nutrition. I mean, why are you watching what you eat if you don't know about what you eat? It is more than just about sugar.

Which isn't about anyone here, just co-worker musings.

I have a massage set up for tomorrow morning. I am so happy.

Back in the day, I had a co-worker decide she needed to lose weight, and she thought maybe she should cut out Coke, but before she did, she wanted to make sure it really *was* a source of weight gain, and asked me "How much fat is in Coke?"

Me: "Ummm....none."

Her: "Oh, good! Because I didn't really want to stop drinking it!"

Me: "@@...."

Sometimes "I watch what I eat" means standing in front of the deli counter and staring at the bologna for hours before taking it home. Yeah, no, I got nothing on that logic. (Although I do like bologna.)

What's determining what stays on the shelf and what doesn't?

I think that it's harder to extract the ephedrine-like stuff from all the other stuff that is mixed into the Quils and other multi-drug concoctions. While I am told that huge overdoses of, e.g., guaifenisen (Dimetap) will not kill you, I am not sure that is the case when it is distilled into illegal-drug format.

I have no sunlight here. It is not expected until at least halfway through tomorrow.

I've been asked more than once if potatos have carbs. Yes, I know the answer, but why don't people know this, and why do they turn to me for the answers to their food value questions?

Ow Tom. Quickly delivered effective drug~ma to you.

At my last job, a coworker told me that losing weight was hard for him. As he plowed into a six pack of powdered donuts. I told him a good place to start would be to not have those for breakfast, and he seemed surprised.

He later had lipo. At 22.

My mother teaches at med school -- one of the courses she teaches is nutrition, and she's stunned with how much the students don't know, and how much they don't think they need to know.

It's food! Nutrition's not just for professionals!

I have a massage set up for next Saturday. One of my best friends is having her 40th birthday at the Lush Spa (owned by Adam Carolla's wife and Jimmy Kimmell's ex-wife). She booked the whole place and is catering a dinner. We have to pay for our own massages and whatnot, but get a reduced rate. She said it was actually less expensive to do this than to book a restaurant--and so much fun!

ETA: Is anyone watching The Adam Carolla Project? I'm liking it way more than I thought I would.

Oh, that's pretty sweet, Robin. Mass massage outings are fun. I think the communal limpness enhances the whole thing.

Unrelatedly, I just got sent an e-mail with the "car door remotes work over the phone" thing. And a "hey, one of you guys try this and tell me if it works!"

Shouldn't you try it yourself before sending the e-mail out? I mean, if your google finger is broken?

Ooh, Robin, that sounds fab.

People do make me crazy with the food. I have a friend who is constantly "trying" to lose weight, except honestly? NSM. She does like two days of some unrealistic plan and then eats a whole pizza.
