Just finished the medical thread. Holy shot was that funny. I liked the guy with the orange and the woman that put listurine inside herself. There were other good ones, but I can't find a clean way to say them.
Kinda fits with the continuing pie theme and free association randomness of this thread. Yesterday “conversation†trying to get two-year old to try potato salad:
Two-year old: Potato.
Me: You say potato and I say potato.
Two-year old: Sweet potato!
Me: Sweet potato pie?
Two-year old: Sweet potato pie poopie!
Two-year old: Potato.
Me: You say potato and I say potato.
Two-year old: Sweet potato!
Me: Sweet potato pie?
Two-year old: Sweet potato pie poopie!

jeez, what kind of things do you feed your kids?
Three hours later I'm simply blown away by the sheer lack of knowledge of basic biology. I'm sad that there are people in this world that think that babies come out through the belly button, and women get pregnant when you pee into them.
If you have never played the game telestrations, I recommend you buy it, gather together 6-10 friends, and play it.
Think of the old game telephone, where you whisper something to someone, they whisper it to the next person, repeat all the way around a circle until the last person repeats it out loud to the whole group, and it usually bears little resemblance to the original phrase. Add in varying levels of artistic skill. We were laughing so hard we were crying...even a couple of the men!
Each person starts with a "sketch pad" (dry erase) and a card with words/phrases on it. Roll the die, get, say, a 3. Each person writes the third word/phrase from their card (all different) on the first page, then illustrates it on the second page. Flip to page three, pass to right. Peek at the drawing, guess what it is, write it on page 3, flip to page four, pass to right. Repeat alternating draw, guess until the sketch pad makes it back to the original owner.
One at a time, each player then goes through the sketch pad page by page, showing everyone the progression from first to last. My ribs were killing me....

Agreed. I'll never understand the people that say they actually enjoy it. I feel like anyone that says they enjoy running is just a ******* liar. You can enjoy the benefit, or spending time outside, but I don't see how the actual act of running is enjoyable to anyone.
it felt so hot today even though it was only like 80. There are moments where I don't hate it, but I never get that runner's high that people talk about. I feel like that meme - "I was told there would be a runner's high". Today I hated 110% of the moments.
I'd said the same thing about the runners high. I think it's something runners made up to make it sound like their stupid *** hobby can actually be enjoyable. I usually feel good about my run 15 minutes or so after I complete it, but there's not a moment that goes by during my run that I'm having fun.
well I'm glad it's not just me then. I feel like a defective runner when I see all these happy people running. Or talking about happy running.
Try reading about meditative running. I've found no better way to beat stress after a rough day.
There is a runner's high too, but I do have to concentrate in order to feel it. Reminds me of the after effect of a nice roll with the lady friend.
All that said....it's still a very love/hate relationship with running.
....and how can they say running in the heat doesn't burn more calories???
It has to make me sweat more, that's for sure.
I read last night that donating blood kills 650 calories.
I hate needles, but now I'm reconsidering......
Last time they tried to take my blood there were almost punches thrown. I have a pretty bad needle phobia.
The one workout I totally don't understand is yoga. It's painful and not relaxing at all. Yoga actually makes me angry.
DH passes out when he gets blood drawn. (apparently it's actually a manly response, or so he said when he linked some caveman article). I haven't done that (though I did after a vaccine one time). I just hate the feeling. And thinking about blood being sucked out? Nope nope nope nope nope.
I've never done yoga, but I think pilates is pretty similar. I didn't mind that at all. I could see that if you have no flexibility, it would be just painful.
lol, DH bought 6 bottles of rum.
In my defense, there is a $50 rebate for buying 6 bottles. Since it's not going to go bad, that's a deal you can't pass up! like $8 a bottle off!
