anyone know a reliable plumber in the NW Chicago burbs? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

update: i checked the p-trap, it was ok. i sanitized the rest of the bathroom, the smell seemed to fade for a day or two then it returned. then i noticed some of the drywall, it looked like it was starting to pucker near the medicine cabinet. i took the medicine cabinet out of the wall and bam, wet drywall. it looks like my upstairs neighbor has a leak. they're an older couple, so i went a-knockin hoping that maybe they just had a leaking washing machine or a leaky water heater because i don't want to have my bathroom wall all hacked up looking for the leak. looks like my bathroom wall is going to get all hacked up looking for the leak. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i live in a townhome and pay $144 a month. this covers things like lawn maintenance, snow removal, cleaning of common hallways. i would not move into a single family home in a neighborhood with a home owners association. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i hope for the best. are greyhounds kind of lazy? i heard that they lie around a lot and are good pets for people who don't want to have a freakshow dog in their house. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

no, no leaks. i have upstairs neighbors and my biggest concern is that they have a leak that is trickling behind my walls or something. the bathroom in question is used once a day, so i know there is water in the p-trap. i'm going to pull out the p-trap tonight and remove the drain stopper and see if something is growing in there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

something stinks in my bathroom. i cleaned it over the weekend and yesterday i noticed some funk. i figured maybe i aimed poorly in the middle of the night or fell victim to the infamous 'split stream' effect. did a quick wipe up around the toilet before i left for work. i came home, still got bathroom stank. i look in the vanity, checking the wall and wood for wet spots. i emptied the garbage can and washed it out. i checked inside the tank, it was a little gross in there so dumped in some bleach and scrubbed a little. this was last night. this morning, still stanky. now i'm worried because i think i've eleminated the usual and unusual suspects. i think i'm going to pull the p-trap off the sink and see if anything is growing in there. bathroom vibes needed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

in case you've been napping, here's a recap: The Palestinian parliament with a Hamas majority, recently confirmed the cabinet. Quoting one Hamas member "The Quran is our constitution, jihad is our way, and death for the sake of God is our highest aspiration." Israel elected a new Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert. He says If the Palestinians did not move towards peace, he said, "Israel will take its destiny in hand" and set permanent borders after lobbying the United States and others for support. My prediction: Israel will continue withdrawing from territory, Hamas will take this as both a sign of weakenss and victory. Hamas will demand more concessions until Israel finally says no. This will make the Iraq situation look like a nice field trip. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

my advice would be to use the really really ripe (almost black) bananas. you don't have to add as much sugar. also, try substituting molasses or real maple syrup, they add unique flavors! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this thread and the diet thread have much in common. don't regularly spend more than you make, don't regularly eat more calories than you burn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

no one has mentioned medical conditions, that's a whole different boat. but you take your average run-of-the-mill american fatass, put them on a 500 calorie deficient diet and have them spend quality time at the gym, pounds will be dropped. the fact is the average fatass has a shitty lifestyle. they eat too much, excercise too little. there is a group of people in the US who regularly eat 3000 plus calories per day including high fat foods like bacon and butter, yet they have almost no weight problems. they're called the Amish and they bust their asses doing manual labor, burning all those ingested calories. food is fuel, not an excuse or a hobby. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i have a mortgage and a motorcycle payment. no credit card debt. i carried a bit in college, but paid it off ASAP. as for how to avoid it? i live below my means. i don't buy crap i don't need. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

congratulations. sincerely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

yes. yes... plus there is jaredthe subway guy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

it IS that simple and your example proves it, you just chose a single food to eat. if you would have taken the ice cream calorie count and changed the ice cream for balanced meals / snacks, your results would have been the same. everything else is just a fad meal plan designed to sell books, frozen meals and memberships to diet "pity parties". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this thread cracks me up. if you're fat, it's because you consume more calories than you burn. wanna lose weight? either cut your calories or increase your activity level. doing both is probably your best option. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i was surprised to read that it was a 7.62mm round and not .50 cal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
