Compassionately intolerant

there's no guarantee that it'll keep you thin

A male contestant on Biggest Loser is post lap band surgery and came in at nearly 400 lbs. Something about the way the surgery went...and subesquent skin removals, I suspect, have left him looking like a giant armadillo. Plus, his health is shot.

Personally, I know two people for whom gastric bypass was a boon, but it seems there are a lot of people for whom it doesn't create lasting effects.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLYSON!!!

Apparently Google street view is going to taking pictures in Halifax in the next few weeks. I so want to rent some kind of giant cupcake costume and just hang around and try to end up in some pics.

Holy crap, DO THIS!!!

you should put big "HI Google" signs in your front yard.

Or at least do this.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ford Escape Hybrid?

Is that the one ND was trying to sell a while back? 'Cause if so, yeah, total ideal car for me. Except you know, for the price. In general hybrids wouldn't be that great for us because 95% of our driving is highway at 75. We never brake. Okay, obviously not never, but not often.

Anymore, we have most of our instruments at the locations, so we're never loading the full van except for cross country trips. So it seems foolish to keep driving it when we don't need to, particularly with the five grand or so we've put into it in repairs over the past six months. OTOH, we did do that, so I suppose we ought to get some mileage out of it now that it's done.

Sat at 8:30PM - go electricity free for an hour. we may try doing this. I think I'll talk to mac about it tonight. If we time it right he could already be in bed. Then again, we may move to try going an hour free in the middle of the day.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy birthday Allyson!

I wouldn't call my Forester compact, but it's Not Large, and it's AWD, and gets mid-20s mpg.

I bought my Forester while I still had my 1992 Honda Accord and guess what? The Forester has a smaller footprint! But the '92 Accords were pretty long and mos def not "compact".

Maybe the Suzuki SX4 might be a better fit.

Don't know much about it, but it combines cheap and efficient for an AWD car.

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

Afraid of What!? Strange Fears of Things that Don’t Even Exist

There is a picture of two women in pasties, so it's possibly borderline NSFW

12. Automatonophobia: Fear of wax statues, ventriloquist dummies

13. Gnomophobia: Fear of gnomes

Gnomophobia is the fear of garden gnomes. Of course no one is afraid of a garden gnome if they realize that it’s an inanimate object. However, some people are afraid that the gnome may come to life and attack them. Perhaps this is a childhood fear that some people never grew out of.

15. Bogyphobia: Fear of the boogieman

Seriously, this is a true phobia. Sure, you may have feared the boogieman when you were a child, but some people don’t outgrow it. Some individuals have been known to have full blown anxiety attacks from fearing that the boogieman will get them.

I have Sleestak fear. And of My Little Pony dolls being controlled by an evil cat.
