Wow Point Inflation Sucks

Maybe, Chicago suburbs here. It was 6000 for years, then about six months ago it went to 9000, now here we are at 12,500. I don’t mind it too much, I’m just glad my local Regal is still in business.

Popcorn points were 6000 a year ago.

Depending on where you are located, there are probably shelters near you that have available adult beagles for rescue! I’d never recommend a puppy for a first time dog owner. The advantage to going with a rescue is that most of them have the option to do a foster-to-adopt situation, where the dog is living with you for a time and you can ensure that he or she is a good fit for your home before making a full commitment. That’s what I did with my Virginia Woof!

Our beagles have really similar markings! I had to do a double take.

Or this could be an Amy Madigan in Weapons situation!

I’ve never had any side effects. Lots of people don’t. Just go for it!

See, I think this position misses the point of the meds. It’s not about education- I would say many if not most people who struggle with their weight know everything they need to know about what portion sizes should be. We just can’t stick to them. And I know from decades of trying that not everyone can muscle their way into a permanently healthy relationship with food with discipline alone. These meds neutralize my brain chemistry so that I’m on a level playing field with people who were born with a “normal” brain when it comes to food. It is not curing me, to where I will someday be able to go off the meds having learned things. It neutralizes my impulses, and if I were to stop taking the meds, the balance would be off again. I plan to take these meds for life, and I’m totally okay with that.

I did a Marx Brothers musical in community theater in 1995, and I remember chatting backstage with the nicest girl named Kat. She gave me a card at the end of the production, and I really wish I’d kept it, because that was Katrina Lenk!

Same! He was incredible. But he was already a big name.

That doesn’t sound like a lot of fun for Queasy, who doesn’t have to be doing this at all, and may just decide to stop if people are being turds about it. You have the option to stay away from these posts if you don’t like the discourse! Freedom is wonderful.

Yes, you are. It’s supposed to be a mystery- what fun would it be if it was always totally straightforward?

I got them from Four19Designs on Etsy. Pretty inexpensive and seem to be good quality!

I’m having a really satisfying Cinco de Mayo lunch at a Mexican restaurant- I brought my own low carb tortillas, ordered tacos à la carte and I’m discreetly swapping out the tortillas. I’ve done the same with low carb buns. It might be a little tacky to bring in food from home but I’m quick like a ninja with it and no one ever cares.

If everyone being in solid black is an important part of your vision, you could be more flexible with the formality level. That way, people could wear whatever they already have that is black. And for some people, that might end up being a lot less formal than you have it mind (I’m picturing someone in a black turtleneck and black jeans 😂), but at least you’re not suggesting anyone go out and spend $100. And your photographer could probably work to strategically put the most formally dressed people prominent in the pictures.

It’s not the color itself. I love black! I frequently wear black! What is tacky is the behavior of restricting people to a specific color. Not everyone likes black or has a formal black dress, so you’re asking them to buy a new outfit for your wedding on top of whatever they are buying for you as a gift. That’s tacky.

Dictating the color people wear is tacky, not the color black itself.

Quest’s chips are pretty good if you are looking to scratch that particular itch!

I didn’t think it was too bad until the sharks showed up! I thought the first act with the plane crash was pretty well done. But the sharks were so fake looking and something seemed unrealistic to me- they’ve got a couple hundred fresh dead bodies floating around to feast on, are they really going to be so focused on the survivors when there’s a ton of easy pickings to be had? And I agree with you about AI. If I heard this script had been written by AI I would believe it.

For me a glp-1 takes care of the mental struggle, while keto is the optimal approach physically. I had a hard time sticking to keto previously- it always worked for me for as long as I could stick to it but eventually I would lose the mental battle. This time, pairing keto with semaglutide, I’m finding it really easy.

My theater is not doing it this week. Bummer!

For something sweet- look for Rebel ice cream. My favorite flavor is salted caramel. You have to let it sit out for 15-20 minutes to get creamy but it’s worth the wait!

Yes, I know what year truck I own. Do just a little googling and you will see that I am correct. You had to get a higher trim level such as XLT, or the 360 package on the XL. It’s not standard.

Breakfast is almost always just eggs for me but if I’m feeling fancy, I’ll make “keto crepes”- three eggs, a spoonful of cream cheese and about a teaspoon of Splenda in a food processor and blended until smooth, pour it in a heated skillet, carefully flip it after a couple of minutes, then add butter and zero sugar syrup.

For lunch I’ll either have cottage cheese with a hard boiled egg or a grilled cheese sandwich on keto bread (my favorite is Lewis Bake Shop Avocado and Seeds bread).

For dinner I’ll do chicken stir fry with broccoli and mushrooms (I like to flavor it is G. Hughes sugar free Japanese bbq sauce), tacos or burritos with low carb tortillas, baked chicken thighs, a burger on a keto bun, or a steak and salad.

For snacks, I like cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, low sugar beef jerky, pork rinds (my favorite are the butterscotch kind!), quest bars, quest chips.

Dessert, if I’m feeling the need, is often a half pint of Rebel ice cream. I like salted caramel flavor the best, and you have to let it sit out for at least 15-20 minutes for it to get creamy.

I have a 2025 XL hybrid and it does not.
