I don't have any issues with myself crying, hell, if I'm really so upset to have the urge to do it, it would be nothing but unhealthy to hold it in. With that said, I've found that it takes more and more to get me to cry, the older I get. (Like pain used to make me cry when I was little, yet it doesn't have that effect on me anymore.)
Honestly, it's been around 6 years since the last time I cried. It was when my long-time girlfriend (who I still loved dearly, at the time) dumped my ass and moved out of state to go to college. I was fucked up for quite a while after that.
Of course it's okay for men to cry, but there are times were crying would make the people around you uncomfortable so like anything else, it's good to be courteous about when and where you do it.
Occasionally at my job I have to package dead dogs and cats to be sent off for cremation, sometimes after I've taken care of them for multiple shifts.
While I don't end up a sobbing mess I have a hard time imagining I'll ever be able to do it without feeling sad about it, with the animals I liked more I'll usually cry a bit too. Frankly, I'd have a harder time dealing with it if I repressed it.
You can do whatever the fuck you want.
If you need to ask others as to what a simple act's societal consequences are, you've got major insecurities. Do you value your masculinity? Do you think your masculinity would be "lessened" by sobbing like a little bitch? Do you think other's perceptions of your masculinity would drop if they witness you mewling like a teenage whore? Do you value their perceptions?
All the answers to these questions are local and indigenous to your context. Conduct some experiments, or rather don't because bawling like an infant whose fucktard spawners rightfully fled from, doesn't solve shit.
Believe what thou Wilt
Of course, what a silly question.
Men are human, they have feelings.
I think it's okay for a man to cry. It'll make you look like a pussy, but it's still okay.

A man crying? Nah, that's not okay all, no matter the circumstance. If a man absolutely must cry, it must absolutely not be seen by anybody.
Fuck you, this is a parody thread
"Help me me more manly."
welcum 2 da teem shieky
Yeah, it's normal to. It's sort of a societal standard that men are tough and don't cry, but that's a really old standard, and it's going away.

I hope not.
Men should not cry as often as women, so that when they do actually cry, it has a lot of impact. When women cry, they get ignored, but when men cry, it's like 'shit must be serious if there is actually a male crying'.

ALTINEX CONNECTIVITY INTEGRAL TO GENERAL ELECTRICâS NEW CONFERENCE TABLE
Bridgeport, PA-based Paul Downs Cabinetmakers, Inc., a firm that designs and manufactures custom conference and boardroom tables, was contracted to design and deploy a new conference table for General Electric. Paul Downs, President, and Nathan Rossman, Design Engineer for Paul Downs Cabinetmakers, discussed the project and their reasons for utilizing Altinex AV connectivity solutions.
âThis is a large boardroom space,â explained Rossman. âFor this project, we designed a 24 foot round, open center table. Positioned directly above the tableâs center are eight video displays mounted from the ceiling. This arrangement enables everyone seated at the table to converse easily and follow the video presentation or whatever else may be taking place on the displays. It was imperative that meeting participants be able to quickly and easily connect their laptop computers into the roomâs AV system so as to give PowerPoint presentations, access the company network, and so forth. As the manufacturer of custom conference tables, design aesthetics were equally important and, for this reason, we integrated eight Altinex PNP417âs and eight AC301-250âs into our design.â
By utilizing the surface cutout of the table so as to make a perfect match, the Altinex PNP417 offers convenient, one touch access to a variety of video, audio, computer, network, and power connectionsâmaking the tabletop connection point attractive for any boardroom or conference room table. Working in conjunction with the Altinex UT250-101 under table switcher and featuring illuminated output select control, the Altinex AC301-250 Dual Button Controller enables each person to direct their video to one of the switcherâs two outputsâmaking this an extremely efficient means of directing content to video displays.
Paul Downs discussed the PNP417âs attributes, âThe Altinex PNP417 provides superior aesthetics because of its ability to match the wood used in the table and it also provides extremely reliable operation. Equally important is the fact that when the PNP417 is in its closed position, itâs absolutely flush with the table. This enables people to pass papers back and forth among themselves without those documents getting caught on the edges of the connector unit. This is a critically important consideration when designing a conference table of this nature.â
In addition to the design aesthetics of the Altinex PNP417 interconnect boxes, Rossman stressed another important consideration. âThe fact that the PNP417 offers the ability to customize the unitâs connector plates is a huge benefit,â he added. âOur customer wanted both VGA and HDMI® connectors, so the fact that these units can be outfitted with a custom connector configuration is a terrific advantage. Altinex offers a wide range of connectors for these units, so itâs easy to set them up exactly as you want.â
Interfacing a variety of audio and video components into an intuitive, easy to use design is no small task. Thatâs why quality customer and technical support is so essential. On that note, Rossman was very complimentary of Altinex. âEveryone on staff at Altinex has been a pleasure to speak with,â he said. âThe company is very helpful and responsive. As an AV integrator, itâs important to be able to gather as much information as possible. When speaking with Altinex personnel, not only was I able to get the answers to my questions promptly, I have learned additional information that I can pass on to our clients to help them take the best advantage of their equipment.â
With the GE project scheduled for completion in May, Rossman reports the new conference table is exceeding expectations, âThis project has been a terrific experience right from the start. Weâre extremely pleased and Iâm quite certain that our client will be equally impressed. Iâve worked with Altinex for several years and Iâve always had a positive experience with their products. Their equipment does everything thatâs expected of itâand does it well.â

Hi, we are doing a 4-day trip to San Diego very impromptu. Which card or deal is best for access to SeaWorld, Legoland, and the Zoo? There are so many websites and deals and so little time that I am a bit at a loss. Help? Thanks!
San Diego parks and attractions

Not sure about Legoland but there is a card good for the Zoo, and it's "sister" - Safari Park/formerly Wild Animal Park and Seaworld for $149 - and I think it is good for 7 days?
Actually - I just googled and there is a card good for about everything - "Go San Diego Card" - for $209.
So do some googling and then determine what you want to do/pay, etc. -
Report Abuse
The Go San Diego card can be purchased through the Smart Destinations website. It can be bought for 3-, 5-, or 7-day validity. I have bought this card for two different trips to San Diego and there are versions for other cities, too. I have used it in Chicago and NYC. It is activated when it is first used and then is good for whatever duration you purchase. There are both children's and adult's cards. The San Diego card is good for the zoo, the safari park, Sea World, Legoland, harbor cruises, a number of the museums in Balboa Park, some restaurant discounts, etc. Once you decide what you want to see, then check the regular admission prices on-line and compare those with the cost of the card to see if it is a savings. I like the card in that you don't have to carry a lot of cash around and it is less of a loss if it is lost or stolen than would be true of your credit card. It also allows you at some locations to go to the head of the line. Sometimes Smart Destinations will have sales on the cards so you can buy them for even less. Then you do save quite a bit over the regular admission prices.

Before you go to Sea World, you may want to watch or read about the excellent documentary, Blackfish, which chronicles the park's terrible safety record. I loved Sea World before I watched it, but I will never go again after learning more about the company's barbaric practices.
Report Abuse
We still love Seaworld - and before the Blackfish dummies possibly suceed in getting it shut down- go to see the great Orca show.
The safety record is NOT terrible. -
Report Abuse
"Blackfish dummies"?
Gads, I can't imagine how anyone with any degree of compassion could think that what SeaWorld did/does is ok.
From capture to the forced confinement to only be allowed out for a few minutes a day to being forced to be a sperm donor...it goes on and on.
"The safety record is NOT terrible" GMAFB
Loss of even one human life is bad, but repeats committed by the same poor captive whale is heinous. But wait, that's a legal term...or is it a moral term? I guess we'd need a lawyer for that.

Report Abuse
Debit - please go preach to somebody else - perhaps in New Mexico? - and don't try to make legal distinctions as you fail miserably.
Simply stated - if you believe everything in Blackfish - you are naive.
Many many people enjoy the Orca shows and come away with a much greater appreciation of what it means to protect Orcas in the wild (or did you even watch that part of the presentation?)- plus Seaworld does a lot for sealife preservation and study. -
Report Abuse
So far - I have not read anyone commenting on the many injured marine animals that SeaWorld rehabilitates and returns to the wild - or the Millions of dollars they contribute/spend on Marine research.
I would also hope that those who have so ardently posted their views supporting "Blackfish" are also aware of other opinions about the movie - as noted here and by CNN and former SeaWorld Trainers who dispute what was "represented" in the movie.
"All of the falsehoods and misleading techniques in Blackfish are employed in the service of the film's obvious bias, one that is best revealed near the end of Blackfish by a neuroscientist with no known expertise in killer whales. She claims that all killer whales in captivity are "emotionally destroyed," and "ticking time bombs." These are not the words of science, and indeed, there is not a shred of scientific support for them. Rather, they are the words of animal rights activists whose agenda the film's many falsehoods were designed to advance. They reveal "Blackfish" not as an objective documentary, but as propaganda. "

Yikes, I haven't been reading the thread because I was actually traveling to San Diego. We ended up paying the retail prices. I did fee the Go San Diego card, but I wasn't sure I could commit to 3 days. SeaWorld, despite the controversy, was my favorite. I can see the reasons why there may be issues, even though I have not seen the documentary. The tourist industry is brutal on the workers. The prices are exorbitant but they go to pay the corporate shareholders or private owners, primarily.
Nevertheless, I admit, it was fun. I am not sure I would do it again but after 20 years in this country, it was worth 4 days. We went to Legoland (talk about corporate exploitation) and SeaWorld and didn't make to other attractions because we have friends in the area and spend some time with them instead on the beach and at their pools and houses.. -

Pintxos - thanks for the trip report and glad you had a good time. Spending time at the beach and at pools at friends houses can't be beat, eh?

I loved California. I have not been in 10 years and am already planning to go back. San Diego was beautiful and I have left much to be explored further. Wonderful place to visit.
Report Abuse
Our best attraction hands down is The San Diego Zoo and Safari Park (also part of the zoo but in a different location) so I'm sorry you didn't get the opportunity to go there. Plus the zoo has the distinction of actually saving animals and bringing back animals from near extinction. (The California Condor is one example). -
Report Abuse
Sprio - it's part of the SD Zoo now - and renamed Safari Park - formerly Wild Animal Park. A favorite of ours too.
Report Abuse
It's always been a part of the zoo. It's not located by the zoo though. I just wasn't sure what the correct name for it was now.

Cisco: Internet Traffic to Quadruple by 2014
Cisco: Internet Traffic to Quadruple by 2014
Jeffrey Burt
Posted 2010-06-02
In its annual Visual Networking Index, Cisco Systems said Internet traffic worldwide will quadruple by 2014, driven by the rapid growth in video traffic generated by both consumers and businesses. Video will constitute more than 91 percent of all consumer IP traffic, and this year will overtake peer-to-peer traffic as the top traffic generator.
Cisco Systems is predicting that global Internet traffic will more than quadruple by 2014, driven in large part by increases in video traffic and by people using the Web to communicate online. In its annual Visual Networking Index released June 2, Cisco said Internet traffic will grow to 767 exabytes by 2014. The growth will be rapid, the company said, noting that traffic between 2013 and 2014 will jump 100 exabytes-about 10 times all the traffic running through IP networks in 2008.
By 2014, the monthly IP traffic will reach 63.9 exabytes, which according to Cisco is equal to 16 billion DVDs, 21 trillion MP3s or 399 quadrillion text messages.
Fueling the growth will be video, Cisco said. All forms of video-including TV, video-on-demand, Internet video and peer-to-peer video-will be more than 91 percent of consumer traffic worldwide. In addition, by the end of this year, global Internet video traffic will surpass peer-to-peer traffic, the company said. There will be more than 1 billion online video users by the end of 2010. This year also will be the first time in 10 years that peer-to-peer traffic-consumers directly sharing files online-is not the top type of Internet traffic. To illustrate the amount of video that will be crossing networks in 2014, Cisco said that to watch all the video crossing networks that year would take 72 million years.
All of this will put tremendous pressure on service providers, according to Pankaj Patel, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Service Provider Group. "Service providers are faced with evolving bandwidth and scalability requirements as residential, business and mobile consumers continue to demonstrate a healthy appetite for advanced video services across a variety of networks and devices," Patel said in a statement. "IP networks must be intelligent and flexible enough to support this tremendous variety of traffic growth." Cisco not only is the top vendor of switches and routers that move traffic through the networks, but also is betting heavily on video in other parts of its business. The company has become a top video conferencing player, particularly since its $3.4 billion acquisition of
telepresence vendor Tandberg
. Cisco sees businesses looking to save money in such areas as travel, and are looking to video collaboration technologies as ways of improving productivity while keeping costs down. Cisco believes the worldwide telepresence market could grow from $3 billion this year to more than $10 billion over the next few years. In addition, Cisco is looking to bring high-definition video communications into the home, and currently
is testing a consumer TelePresence offering
that could hit the market later this year. The move would let it compete with the likes of Skype.

Posted by Benthon on 3/31/10 at 2:56:39 PM I was going to download the client until I read this. Thanks for the heads up :) |
I am hoping they also impart some amount of modern nefariousness, like secret government agents that we have to deal with or wealthy evil-mastermind types with hired thugs. Something besides just magicky type mobs. |
I think F2p is a big scam and you've been duped if you play
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 4/01/10 5:59:50 AM
Totally agree with this. Even after knowing this, somehow I got suckered into Evony for a month or so. |
Originally posted by LtJohnnyRico Ditto this for me. I do visit and look around, but finances are in such dire straits right now that the concept of spending money on entertainment takes a back seat to house payment and groceries. I don't think MMORPG.com is dead so much as the industry is hurting in general. |
I am going to give this game a shot. Is there anything I need to know beforehand (i.e., things to avoid, or things to do right away as a new player so that I don't end up re-rolling because I messed something up)? |
Wow. I've been away from this game for a bit because I had problems with the client when I got Vista. It's weird that the game is actually just shut down as of yesterday. I actually was checking out the comments because I planned to install the game again today. |
Which of the three factions are you? (poll)
General Discussion « The Secret World 1/18/10 2:43:12 AM
Illuminati here. I think their anti-hero pessimist philosophy seems much more believable than Dragon or Templar by far. |
Tell ya the truth, I can't remember. Other than I wasn't running around on some star-spooked dale where wizards, orcs, and goblins were trying to attack me, it seemed like I was in the "real world" yet 2 steps behind. Like I was always gaining ground against a truly believable menace and my only footing was the accepted beliefs of those behind me. |
Ok ya got me. Working on leveling that right now. |
I am just going to throw this out there... I actually downloaded and played a game from Utherverse.com I do not see this game on any reviews here, but it was touted as an adult only game wherein you could have virtual sex. Needless to say all I basically ended up doing was walking around, and standing in far corners looking at possible emotes. Hell, I do this in real life! Why do I ;og in after work and do this in virtual life? Has anyone tried this MMO? And why isnt this listed in MMORPG? |
empireofsports.com There's no real grind to it. You simply play the game and you level. I think in any game theres a certain amount of grinding. I mean, you gotta pay your dues before you get to level 50, right? Are you looking for a game that can give you max level the moment you register? Or do you mean grinding for gear? What exactly are you looking for in a game? |
Originally posted by Horusra I'll be the guy. You say you are using a water cooled case. Is your watercooler simply a line to your cpu or are additional waterblocks attached to your video cards. Please keep in mind that if only your CPU is water cooled, and you have no other cooling, your video cards are sitting in the sahara heat. Another thing to check is that it may not be the video cards at all that are failing but some bad delivery of coolant to your CPU. How do you check to see if coolant is circulating to your CPU? |
I only played this game for a few months in 2007, but I am sad to see this go. I think the potential for a truly great game was sitting on a table in front of these developers. I got the feeling that the people who tended this game basically rolled in to work, did a job, and went home without much attachment for it. I was actually considering joining this game again when i did some research and found that it was closing. There was a lot of potential for this game, and when I did play this, I enjoyed the interaction of the community. Very helpful players--to the point where you thought they were helping you so much to keep you sold on the game. Hopefully there is another incarnation of this game sometime down the road. It was fun wearing my sunglasses at night... |

Bumped for those talking about potatoes today.
PS, as to your earlier question regarding frost, it would be risky to put them in a greenhouse with missing panes at the moment. Better would be in an unheated room of your house by a window. If you don't have such a place, the greenhouse will have to do but cover them with some garden fleece which will keep the frost off of them.
Yes, if you can actually see what you are buying then avoid any that already have shoots longer than 1/4" (5mm) as these have been kept in too warm a place. Also avoid any that are soft or look shrunken or crinkly. A good seed potato at this time of the year should be firm and have tiny buds in the eyes rather than developed shoots.
Hi Rachael, you can get seed potatoes online or from garden centres and even places like Wilkinsons. There is no real need to chit potatoes - trials have shown that while it can give a slightly earlier crop, unchitted potatoes grow perfectly well anyway.
Potatoes don't actually enrich the soil but are said to "help break it up", improving the soil structure. My thinking on that one is that you dig the soil to plant them, then earth them up as they are growing and finally have another good dig to harvest your crop. That's a lot of cultivation and probably explains why they "help to break-up the soil"!
They do prefer a slightly acid soil Cherry3, so you do need to get that test done.
Have you been feeding them with anything? Raspberries are quite hungry plants and need something high in phosphates to fruit well. I would recommend mulching them with 2-3 inches of well rotted farmyard manure in early spring but if that's not available, use fish, blood and bone and a layer of multi-purpose compost as a mulch.
If your soil turns out to be alkaline, you could also try feeding them with an ericaceous feed such as one meant for rhododendrons and azaleas which would also be a good feed for your blueberries. You'll need to keep using this permanently though as chalky soils will always revert to becoming alkaline over time, even if you dig a big hole and fill it with ericaceous compost!
They will still produce fruit on any fruiting spurs or the tips of branches which you haven't pruned off. The easiest way to tell is to look for buds. Fat buds will become flowers and thin buds will become leaves.
Hi Alan, I have already bought the soil warming cable and thermostat but progress will have to wait until the weekend as it's dark when I get home from work.
Just be careful where you let it seed. If you have any gravel and it gets in there (even if the gravel is on top of membrane) you will never be rid of it! It also stinks when rotting at the end of the season so best not grown close to entrances. It is quite nice for what is a rampant weed for me though .
Try clearing the ground around the base of their trunks so there is open soil (no grass especially) within a metre all round and gently fork-in some well rotted manure or garden compost with added food (eg fish, blood and bone.) I think they could be a bit starved of food which has been taken by other plants growing too close. They might be being shaded out a bit by the taller trees surrounding them, too.
Berghill, are they plastic gears (might sound daft but hey often are these days)? If so silicone grease will be OK. Mineral oil based grease will damage them.
Edit: the reason I ask is that plastic-safe grease is often bright green.

BRATTLEBORO Investigators are blaming an overheated electrical strip for sparking a weekend blaze that damaged one of four apartments in a 2½-story multifamily house.
Local firefighters, responding to an alarm at 8 p.m. Saturday, found flames coming from a second-floor apartment at 119 Green St. in the center of town.
The blaze, contained to one apartment and causing extensive fire and heat damage, was declared under control within 45 minutes.
All occupants escaped safely and no firefighters were injured, Fire Chief Michael Bucossi said.
The building is just up the street from another apartment house that caught fire earlier this winter and is owned by local landlord Bob Remy-Powers, who lost another rental property on nearby Elliot Street last fall.MORE IN This Just InPSB orders Full StoryBOYS BASKETBALL Full StoryPROCTOR The Phantoms wouldnt win titles if they couldnt handle a little pressure.

I won't be losing much sleep over the closure of the Cross Keys pub in Abingdon. It's sad to see the demise of any decent pub but the Cross Keys wasn't up to scratch really, lined up against some fierce competition. When I called in some years ago it was full of televisions and closed at lunchtime. Flats are proposed on a redeveloped site. Good idea. We need more homes.
The one good thing about a recession is that it sorts out the wheat from the chaff, but Abingdon need not worry. You are spoiled for choice with an array of good town centre pubs and restaurants. There is the White Horse, Brewery Tap, the Anchor, King's Head and Bell, Punch Bowl, Black Swan, Blue Boar, Broad Face — thankfully reopened — and the Crown and Thistle Hotel. I find The Narrows disappointingly uncomfortable but the beer and food range is well priced as you would expect in a Weatherspoon pub. As for The Grapes opposite, well I'll pass on that one.
But surely the jewel in the crown is the Nag's Head on the bridge over-looking the Thames. Two years ago it was on its knees but in steps a new owner — previously at the Broad Face — and the pub has undergone a remarkable transformation. Real ales and good food with a new-look garden and friendly and efficient young staff. Not only that but the Nag's Head is the gig centre of Abingdon with regular music packing in the punters.
As the redevelopment of the Old Gaol complex continues, even more people will be attracted to this once forgotten part of town.
The national economy is stirring again and all that's needed now is a revival of the retail sector in the wake of the refurbished precinct.

Why Low Carb Works Better for Some
View VHALKYRIE's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from VHALKYRIE
Friday, March 15, 2013
Some people can eat breads, pastas, rice and potatoes without any negative effect. I envy the people who lost weight just counting calories (no matter the source) and exercising. For me, it wasn't enough.
While I was in Spain and France, I noted slim and healthy locals eating breads and pastries. In Korea, cups of rice were consumed with every meal. A person with no issue eating these foods might conclude these populations don't have weight issues with carbs, therefore there is no issue with carbs.
This is erroneous. These populations never gained excessive weight they had to lose in the first place.
From my personal anecdotal experience, eating a low to moderate amount of carbs in maintenance is not an issue. However, if I want to spur weight loss, then I need to cut it back.
I gained about 5lbs over the holidays eating breads, stuffing, and baked goods. To lose it, I stopped eating them. I ate only protein and veg.
Like many people, as a kid I could mostly eat whatever I wanted without too much thought about it. There was certainly a genetic factor, but what tipped me over the threshold was a period of metabolic abuse. I consumed excessive amounts of sugary sodas, margaritas, potato chips, french fries, hamburger buns, pastas, and desserts. Excessive amounts of sugar is toxic to cells. Insulin receptors become less sensitive, shut down or die. All cells become less sensitive as they age, but sugar overload accelerates it. Once you lose insulin sensitivity, it is gone forever. The damage is permanent.
The insulin receptors that go dormant can be revitalized with exercise and diet, but the damaged ones will never come back. If this gets bad enough, it eventually becomes pre-diabetes or diabetes.
The more insulin sensitivity you lose, the harder it is to lose weight and keep it off. This is a factor in why some people seem to have more or less problems with carbs than others. Some people will be able to resume eating a small amount of carbs after they reach their weight goals. Others have to eat lower amounts forever. It depends on the amount of cumulative damage.
I did enough damage that I cannot lose weight without cutting carbs, but I maintain ok. Personally, I cannot stay very low carb for a long period of time. There are drawbacks to a high carb diet that no one tells you about, and I'm not going to be one of those people who says there are none on low carb, either. Constipation and a potassium drop are two issues I get with long term low carb. I've found that carb cycling where I eat more amounts of sweet potatoes, rice, potatoes or fruit, then drop them off at intervals works best for me.
I will never again be able to eat as much pizza, burgers, soda or margaritas as I did in my 20s, but would I really want to? How much better off would I have been if I just ate unprocessed meats and veggies to begin with? Maybe I should have spent less time making fun of health nuts and joined them. I became one eventually anyway, and found I liked it.

Member Comments About This Blog Post:
And of course, traditional diets in France and Korea do not include High Fructose Corn Syrup, 24-oz sodas, or huge handfuls of deep fried potato chips. It's not just a serving of carbohydrates that is at issue, it's the combination of high calorie, low nutrient carbs with lots of fats and salts that really destroys our metabolisms. You just don't see that kind of dietary combination outside of the modern, industrialized Western diet.
Simple truth: veggies are awesome. Animals are delicious. They both have been around for millenia and are long-standing members of normal food chains. Therefore, we should eat them. Grains and sugars.... not so much.

This is a wonderful blog! It is interesting for me because of the kids. I want them to enjoy food but eat it in a balanced way. It is a bit easier at this age because as a parent I have a lot of control but how to teach them to keep taking care of themselves once there are making their own choices...that is the thing! I never shy away from telling them what is healthy and why...or what ingredients are in what I am making. Patrick is determined to teach them to cook for themselves so they can cook once they leave our home. Liam even wonders now how he can tell if food is done....the interest seems like a good sign. I hope we succeed. It goes the same for smoking and drinking as well...and of course drug use. All these things we have potential to abuse in that young adult stage that can really mess things up for us later!
I really like this blog.

I've found that as I've gotten older, I do have to watch certain foods. I don't have problems with carbs like bread, pasta or rice. Yeah, I'm one of those folks. ;)
However, I've noticed my tummy does have a low tolerance of fried foods these days. I love fried dough (funnel cake), but it doesn't love me. Same with corn dogs. I love corn dogs. Whenever I go to a state fair, I want and have a corn dog. What happens that evening ? I get an upset tummy.
So, maybe I should be grateful my tummy is making me think twice about some of those less than healthy food choices I might occasionally make.

I'm the exact same way and experience the same issues with a low carb diet. When I go low carb it also sets me up for a big fall of the wagon binge later.It also scares me to think that because of dumb food decisions when I was younger that I may have to "watch" my intake for the rest of my life.

As you've probably read on my blogs, I have a lot of trouble when it comes to grains. They're addictive - I can easily eat 2-3 bowls of cereal, even if it's not the sugar variety. It's the same thing with candy. I have a hard time putting it down. I get my carbs from fruits and veggies, and instead of white potatoes I eat sweet potatoes. This makes me feel much more satiated, and I think it has helped me control my eating without stressing about tracking. I do have pizza occasionally though, or there would be no reason for me to live anymore! ahahahha...

Thanks for your insights... It all makes perfect sense to me. It's too bad that as we get older, we pay the price for our reckless habits when we were younger.

So my paternal grandfather was named Roland. He died a few years back, and I've been thinking a lot about his name. Although that whole side of my family has mostly not been a part of my life (I was raised by my mother), I always remember him being exceptionally kind so it is something I would consider.
1) What do you think of it?
2) Any good nn ideas? Would you use a nn or just the full name?
3) Any associations with it?
There's a famous french legend with a Roland but I don't think it's widely known. (My father and his family are french.)Switching careers and becoming an RN! Sadly mommy plans will have to wait until that's done. Still loving names though!

Oh, neuilly that would be a lovely name to use and especially as you have such wonderful memories of him. I think that rollo would make the perfect nn. I say use it I think it is a very distinguished, handsome and usable name that is familiar although we don't hear it much. An excellent choice.

The first thing came up to me was the character from Stephen King's Dark Tower series and the old poem about the legend of Roland the knight. It's a great name and your boy would love it after he read the novel. I can't think of a good nickname so I would use the full name.. There is also a Rylan/Ryland if you prefer to have a nickname, for example, Ry.
