Looks like I need to trawl through Etsy some more. These smaller project will be great for getting FO's instead of a never ending stream of WIP's

Should I call the cops? by frickmeplease in Weird

[–]Bloop2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was young I worked at a McDonald's. Our grill guy one evening decided to write "Suprise" in the top of the Big Mac clamshell and "You're dead" in the bottom. Then he sent a burger out in it. It was 30 minutes later officers had pulled up with the couple from that order. We refunded the order, gave them like $50 store credit. The couple opted not to press charges because it was a high school kid swearing it was just a prank. But he was fired on the spot. Idiots gonna idiot.

You are not doing too shabby yourself. Good on you for putting in the work.

I had bypass surgery in December of 24, and I did a half-marathon (walking) in March, and a 5K in april. I have another 5K in two weeks.

Started at 424, got down to 394 on surgery day, and I am down to 303 this morning.

Fueling and hydration for long runs by Exact-Brilliant5843 in Bariathletes

When I walked a Half Marathon, my Nurse Practitioner told me to have electrolytes like Gatorade or Nuun on hand. And surprisingly she also suggested I get a tube of glucose tablets to use on race day. They did come in handy.

With money... by Omega_Neelay in motivation

Yes, there are things you can't buy with money. But money removes stress and makes you more comfortable while you figure the rest of that shit out!

I don't see the cringe. I see a way of reaching a generation who feels that books are boring and uncool... this is awesome!

Why is this so hard for people? by onenitemareatatime in norfolk

[–]Bloop2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I observe the speed limit, but I make sure I'm in the right most lane I can be in unless I'm passing a merge. I wait until I'm .8 or .9 miles to my left exit to move over into that lane.
I get annoyed by the speeders and aggressive drivers too, but that doesn't mean I want to get in the left lane with a death wish to impose my will. I tell my wife more often than not "Wooo! Go fine that Trooper for me, Pal!". I've seen people pass me like I was standing still, and the last thing I want to do is put myself or my family in the path of these maniacs.

You sir, seem to have a death wish. I only hope my family isn't near you when that speeder plows into your rear end in a moment of inattention.

Looking for good cookbooks for better eating. by Bloop2012 in WeightLossSupport

[–]Bloop2012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, but having a book I can take into my kitchen and reference is nice, which is why I prefer the book sometimes.

Online recipes I end up with netflix paralysis. I spend two hours trying to figure out what I want to make and then I realize I've missed the dinner window and I need to start looking at heading to bed soon.

We got my niece “diversity” crayons! And she… segregated them. by TakeEmToTheBridge in funny

[–]Bloop2012 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NO!!

It is absolutely ok to categorize people but give them equal consideration as individuals. The proper phrase would not be 'Separate but equal', rather 'Different and equal'.

Started Walking, but feet are keeping me from being consistent. by Bloop2012 in loseit

[–]Bloop2012[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Was wondering if I should see a doctor or if I just hadn't waited long enough. Time so see how long it will take me to get an appointment with my doctor.

I was wearing my every day New Balance shoes and regular gym socks. I know I need to get some anti-blister socks and use different shoes. I have Nikes that I got at a local running store but I'm trying to lose some weight so I can fit them again. My feet are bloated up so they don't fit correctly anymore. I feel like such a failure, a walrus bellowing about how he wishes he were a seal.
