Is it counterintuitive to have worked out for an hour then eat sushi? Because I really, really desperately wanted sushi after I'd cooled down.

Man, I was a much better student than I am a teacher. Isn't there some way to keep on being a student and get paid for it?

I always think of sushi as being relatively healthy. What's not healthy about it? (Aside from white rice)

I have a really dumb mathy question that I think I should know but don't. I'm calculating an annual rate of return problem and I think the equation should be this:

(x-72) + 2 = 15%

X being the price of the stock that must be hit in order to get a rate of return of 15%. It's currently at $72/a share and dividend payout is $2/share.

I don't know how to solve for X

I just started using a Neti squirt bottle, and it works wonders. It'll wake you up in the morning, that's for sure. Water! Water in new places!

My brain just seized.

Seriously, it just locked up.

Man, I suck at math.

Sushi is healthy because (aside from rice) it's lots and lots of good protein.

If you worked out for an hour and crave sushi - that's excellent.

Much better than working out for an hour and craving hot fudge sundaes.
