Dreadhead Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Good Luck CJ! <hulk> CJ SMASH TEST! <\hulk> Wait, is that even possible? Isn't that like reducing your diet by like 2800 calories a day? For me it is. I'm 6'5" and on a 1000-1500 cal a day diet plus working out 5-10 hours a week. I am blessed/cursed with a body that both loses and gains weight easily. Other than being hungry I feel fine. To give you an example included in that month was a overnight yacht race where I ate what I wanted because I was up all night and even massively dehydrated I gained 5 lbs in something like 36 hours. I then had to re-lose that in a week of the previously mentioned diet. There's actually been some pretty interesting research done recently showing a lot more variations on what a calorie means to weight gain etc than previously thought.

acidbasement Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Getting ready to play the opening concert at this festival tonight. It's going to be a blast. I'll be there most of the weekend with the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Good luck CJ! The vacation pics look great, Mike! Submitted my life to the scrutiny of the government. This doesn't sound fun. EDIT - I missed it initially, but congrats Chris on the weight loss! Edited August 17, 2012 by Salt Peanuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The scariest hike I've done is Angels Landing. The last 45 minutes was completely exposed. The pics don't really capture the difficulty mostly because in those areas I was too scared to take out my camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmcmanus Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Ayep, I appear to have angered the same plumbing gods as Shelley. I've done some further investigation, and I can't use the upstairs sinks without causing flooding, either. Also, I don't want to appear insensitive to the passing of NightWoundsTime with my selfish bitching about plumbing woes. I never met NWT (or any head-caser, for that matter) but I do recall him posting in Slow Forum. I've said it before, I'm guilty of posting in this thread, but not keeping up with it. In a revelation that will surprise exactly no one, I have this url http://www.head-case.org/forums/topic/9081-slower-forum/unread/ in my FFX toolbar, and I go there first and other places later. Knucks, no problem being the Knucks we all love you for being! Mike, great vacation pics! Your kids are truly fortunate to have two parents who have been so committed over the years to staying in such great shape. They might take it for granted, but it truly is a blessing to them. Not too many 50ish people can do those kinds of things. I know that my parents couldn't at that age, and I know that I certainly couldn't either (or if I did try, I'd probably be added in to the "splat factor").

RudeWolf Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ordered my first set of glasses. Also got a haircut (the usual Hitlerjugend style) and fondled the Galaxy S3 I'm looking to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Congrats to Chris and Stephen on their weight loss. I need to start exercising again, I'm tired of carrying around all this extra weight. Mike, your vacation pics continue to blow my mind with how awesome they are. I really need to plan a less urban vacation for my next one. Knucks -- I agree with what Wayne said. I was thinking it when you posted it: life must go on, just like I said to Chris.

crappyjones123 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm fucking exhausted. Physical sciences - beast modes through that stuff. Having a math background helped beyond measure. Verbal - always a crapshoot for me. Biological sciences - felt like i was raped by a stable of horses repeatedly for 70 minutes. Fucking hell.

Augsburger Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'm fucking exhausted.* edit* Fucking hell. Sorry, english is my second language, is that term an adverb or just a plain verb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Exhausted is a predicate adjective, therefore fucking is an adverb. Or an interjection. In the second, 'hell' is an expletive, so it'd probably be better to think of it as an expletive phrase. I'm not sure what the difference is between an interjection and an expletive, so don't ask me. I wasn't using two different words there for any particular reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Thursday. Decided to Fly to Chicago. 8:40pm acquired ticket. Friday. Flew to Chicago at 5:30 am. Met up with Slacker at the airport, and everyone else around 11:30. Would have been 11 if not for Dammit, Colin! Walked 7 miles, drank, hung out, met new people, caught up with old friends, toasted a shitload of beers to Matt. Saturday. Woke up, hung out, "woke up" Colin, breakfast time. Exhausted. Ready for another awesome 30 hours with the crew. **BRENT** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Congrats on just surviving that MCAT, CJ. Not that I didn't know this already, but Brent's a real trooper. Especially when you offer him monetary compensation to do things he doesn't want to do. See you soon brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absorbine_Sr Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Watched insane HC'ers drink. Drank. Rode trains. Walked. A lot. Toasted Matt. More of the same today minus trains and walking I hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadphoneAddict Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Drove to Kansas City KS, tomorrow to Nashville (or Knoxville), then to Durham the next day to get my daughter moved into college. Just had an iHop omelet and pancakes after a long drive, and it tasted so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudeWolf Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Installed an ethernet cable through the attic and into the kitchen ventilation duct. Mom needs her cable TV! I had almost forgotten how exciting it is to be covered in mineral wool dust. Once took a leak with my wooly gloves on... Highly exciting for a few hours. Also ordered a Galaxy case for my Dynalo. I was torn between 170x330 and 230x330, in the end went with the larger one. After all it still is my first stab at building an amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) ^ Few years ago, one of my best friends decided he needed to use a bathroom in the midst of eating ridiculously hot Buffalo wings. Let's just say he should've washed his hands better prior doing so. Took our daughter to Franklin Park Zoo. Spent most of the time there at kiddie rides and their brand new playground, which is probably the best playground we've seen. I'm pretty sure we saw some animals at some point as well.
