  1. Gotta be careful about burning them. There are cases on record of morbidly obese corpses causing grease fires resulting in fairly significant damage to crematoriums. In her book Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Caitlin Doughty talks about having to cremate morbidly obese people first thing in the morning, before the oven gets too hot, to avoid this. (She has a YouTube channel called Ask a Mortician, but I don't know if she addresses it there.)
  2. When I went through treatment, one of the councilors told a story about the guy who came in and wanted to learn how to use heroin socially...
  3. Good luck. The cough drops can't hurt, and if they help, what the hey.
  4. So...You're just being a dick. Yeah, I can let it go at that.
  5. Quantify.
  6. olmoldy TVsFrank
  7. I'd go back - if she gives you change like that, that's enough to buy a jar of tartar sauce and then some. And if she does it every time, you could eventually wind up making money on the deal.
  8. I binged watched both Carl Sagan's and Neil Degrasse Tyson's versions back to back about a month ago. Wow. Just Wow. My head felt like it was going to explode (in a good way) with all the information. (Fortunately, it reverted to its normal empty state within 24 hours.)
  9. lighting a candle for both of you.
  10. There is no disease in the world that does not respond to calories in/calories out. Even Prader-Willi syndrome patients can lose weight if food is not made available to them. And as far as meds - they may increase your appetite or mess with your satiety triggers or slow your metabolism, but your body cannot make fat from food that isn't eaten.
  11. It's not impossible to diet without pills. It's not necessarily pleasant, but it's not impossible.
  12. The same doctor who writes her notes can refer her to a dietician.
  13. Imagine the emotional turmoil that it takes to keep justifying not addressing the underlying problem.
  14. Only if you want her to wake up screaming.
  15. Happy birthday to whoever's birthday it is. (I don't do math.)
  16. For prostate cancer awareness. Like the pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness, only more manly.
  17. The ones I get are just donuts, and they don't cost any more than the other donuts. In fact, if you get two boxes (or mix and match them with the pumpkins spice donuts) it's 50 cents off a box.
  18. The ones I get don't taste like apple jacks. They taste like cider, but not too much.
  19. I feel like I should be wearing a beret and snapping my fingers.
  20. Every time your cat brings you a gift, cut its little head off (the mouse's, not the cat's) and put it on a tiny pike in your front yard. That should scare them off.
  21. My library minion and one of his friends are putting a dungeon together, and have asked me to play. Kind of nervous - I haven't played in a long time, and I don't know how these guys are going to feel about playing with somebody my age, but it will be interesting.
  22. How would anybody know the difference?
  23. I am as woke as I care to be, thank you. And it won't last long, because I'm thinking seriously about taking a nap.
  24. And what you will get is coal in your stocking.
