I think overall, we have a chewing problem. Isn't it like, 80% of your digestion could take place in your mouth, but we all just gulp and swallow? Spurious science again, I suppose, 'cause I don't have a cite. But I think I could probably stand to chew more.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Having Beer Works on pretty much a direct path to the train from work is one of the bigger challenges inolved in said curtailment, I tell you what (it's like a vortex that sucks me in when I get close to it).
Can you change your route? Like, not all the time, but if you go after work 4-5 times a week, maybe work on walking a different way, say, twice a week?
I know what you're talking about, though. This is a strategy that works for me though. (in general, re: stuff I don't need and shouldn't have, but want quite a lot)

Re: multi-tasking- we've started eating our meals at our dining room table and not in front of the TV. It's nice.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
All this basically means that I should clear all the crap off my dining room table so I can actually eat there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In our new apartment, we'll have a formal dining area with a real dining table, so the days of eating in front of the TV will be over.

This hasn't really helped me, since my lack of a real desk made the dining table my de facto work space.
When do you move?

I think that even if I did have a dining area, sitting down at a table and eating alone without TV or reading or something, wouldn't last very long.

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

I don't know either, but it sounds like the eight glasses of water thing again. If almost no one chews the recommended amount, and you can't identify the harm, then how is it the case that we need to do it for good health? And this goes into my vitamin supplement argument...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I always watch TV while eating. It's practically a necessity.
