I got transferred to Lakewood. I have Sunday off. How about a late lunch/early dunner on Sunday?
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
FYI, H&R Block Taxcut Online Basic is now $9.95, and TurboTax Online Basic is $14.95.
Right, but I also have to file two state returns. Also, TurboTax also has an even more basic version for free.
However, if your adjusted gross income is $52,000 or less and you start from the links on the IRS Free File page, you can use either program to prepare your federal tax return and e-file for free.
Curse my income!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Read through the thread really fast. ~ma to all the Buffistas who need it, and {hugs} to them as want 'em. Bev, especially, I'm so sorry about your mom. February is not being kind.
I've given up so many vices, and feel like there is bupkus to show for it.
So very much this. The only thing that's made any kind of difference in years was the Atkins diet, and I just don't think I've got the will to go carbless again. I want my old body back. I was skinny as a kid, slender during my twenties, and suddenly: bam. Fat. So tired of fighting it, so tired of living with it. Nothing seems to work. And if one more doctor tells me to "just cut out a bagel every morning and you'll lose a pound a week!" I will strangle that doctor with his own stethoscope.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
TurboTax also has an even more basic version for free.
Link?

No, silly, link to where you found the "even more basic version for free."
It's not on TurboTax's front page. If you are referring to the text "You can start using any of them for FREE and pay only when you’ve finished your return," note that you can start for free, but you have to pay when you complete the process.
TaxCut Online is the same way.

Magazines have articles with "easy tips for weight loss," such as "Stop putting sugar on your cereal," "Drink your coffee black and you can lose 10 pounds over a year" and "Cut out soft drinks." I've never put sugar on my cereal. I've always drunk my coffee black. I drink unsweetened iced tea. I haven't had a non-diet softdrink in 30 years. I've never supersized anything.

Aha. That's a better link, because I still don't see it on the Turbotax.com front page. Where did you find it? Is it right in front of my nose and I'm not seeing it?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just started Core on Monday, and I'm having a hard time with the "stop eating when satisfied" part of the plan. Because I don't know what that feels like. I know what hungry feels like, and I know what stuffed feels like. But no in-between.
What I did that really helped me get this was that, at each meal, I'd first measure out what a serving size was supposed to be, then eat that, slowly. (The table manners rule that I was taught as a kid, that once you put a bite in your mouth, you put your fork down, and then don't pick it up again until after you swallow, helps a lot in the "eat slowly" thing.) Then, when I'm done with the serving, I stop and evaluate whether I still need more food. If I think I do, I wait five minutes, evaluate again. If I still feel like I need more food, I go get another half a serving. Repeat. It's kind of fussy and a pain for the first few days, but it really helped me figure out what the different levels of fullness felt like.
My body seems to really like being 155 pounds. Whenever I diet, I can get down to 155 pretty easily, then each additional pound after that is a struggle. I can usually get down to about 147 before I start giving up, then the weight slowly comes back on, to 155. Then I'll go on vacation or something and gain a bunch of weight, then diet, get back to 155 pretty easily, and start the whole thing over again.
Hmm. I need to make dinner for tonight. My plan was a can of lentil soup, but I really don't feel like having that now. I desperately need to go grocery shopping. I had a whole menu planned for this week, but the grocery store didn't have a bunch of the stuff I was planning on cooking. so I'm trying to put together stuff. Maybe I'll stir-fry some frozen veggies, or something. That seems to be about what I've got.
