Man, gmail is being unreasonable: I just opened it up to send an email to a friend and it's telling me that my log on has expired and I need to login again - but it's been under a minute.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

I have 2, possibly 3 copies of 10 years worth of mail now. Except only my archived copy of my original inbox. FUN. But far better than anticipated.

Jack LaLanne died, at age 96. One of the first comments on the NY Times article is speculating whether diet and exercise really make any difference, since he did so many of the things the way you're supposed to do them and "fell so short of living say, past 110 or so."

Comment number 11:
Jack's death is very discouraging. I thought that if anyone could achieve immortality by a combination of lifelong exercise and stringent adherence to a healthy diet, it would be him.
It's not like he died of a heart attack at 45 or something. The man lived to 96, and people are disappointed that he died so young?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sure! My grandmother's already 91, and she's no health professional. This is proof that exercise and juicing do nothing!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have found the upside to working with rude people who NEVER ask, on a Monday, how my weekend was. Now I don't have to tell them about Chloe and immediately burst into tears. Who knew working with rude gits would have its upside?
Jack LaLanne died, at age 96.
No way! At the gym, we were just talking about him the other day (and wondering if he was still alive). I feel like we jinxed him.

No, seriously, he had a good long, looney run.

Punishingly Intricate
Though I am still surviving on wrongfit bras. I'm a 34G at last check and none of those tried are oriented right, while my old lane byrant's, with their wrong band size and cups suffice. They are at least located where my real estate is. But they slip around too much.
My dress ladies can fix them for you!!! Not sure how much they charge but they do alterations and they make things FIT like you would not believe.
Don't remember if I said but, Steph, I am so sorry for your loss.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"fell so short of living say, past 110 or so."
That's just idiotic. Living to 110 is just an extreme outlier. Hell, living to 96 is an outlier. You can't draw conclusions from one guy living to 96 or 110 or whatever.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I think that the value of diet and exercise has a lot to do with individual characteristics. My grandfather and his brothers were all extremely tall (grandfather was 6'8") and fairly thin. He got no exercise (other than hard work) and a typical breakfast for him was 1/2 a package of pillsbury crescent rolls baked flat and covered with syrup, with a side of 4-5 slices of bacon. He lined to be 94.
