    Nodody knows us better than we know ourselves, so only you know whether this is applicable but I thought I'd respond anyhow. Setting tangible goals for weight loss is a good practice, especially among women. I've known lots of very slender women who "felt" fat. If they'd just look at the numbers and realize that 5'4", 105 lbs (e.g.) isn't overweight, they'd be a lot more healthy, physically and emotionally. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    I'll play, and I just got on the scale this morning. I'm going to take credit for some of last year's loss, even if I did gain some of it back.

    An 8-team playoff would be just as easy to do. Start it just before Christmas, narrow the field from 4 to 2 over New Year's, play the championship game in the second week of January. The top 4 programs would get an extra home game and 3 of the 4 current majors would see action each year (either a semi-final or the championship game). Personally, I'd add two more bowls to the mix, maybe the Holiday and one other (Cotton?), so that each of the playoff venues gets a major payday every other year. They could host non-playoff bowls in their off-years. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Go with a decent tawny port. Graham's 20-year springs to mind.

    A much better combination than port with meat or seafood, though I prefer turtle cheesecake to blueberry (the candy turtles, not the dz.com turtle!) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Port with meat entrees, seafood, and shellfish??! Only if they're really, really bad dishes that you don't want to taste! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    By such logic, you must have 50% of the evidence you need to deduce that Bush is the smartest man in the world. Yeah, he really put himself on the line there in Texas and later in Arkansas. What leads you to believe we're all unwilling to risk ourselves? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I'm sure it's a very nice fleafrying tat, but I've learned to never open pictures attached to your posts. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    "Just a Couple of Days" by Tony Vigorito. At that link you can flip through the first several pages and get a feel for the flavor. You must bring either a decent vocabulary or a dictionary to the table, but it's worth the effort. There are a couple passages here and there where it's obvious the author is trying a little too hard, but for the most part it's an engrossing and entertaining read.

    are you one?

    McCain/Giuliani would be almost unbeatable. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a Dem that would stand a chance. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    That does not appear to be the case. What further backing down should he have done in order to avoid the invasion? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Here's how I see it. Different jobs have different hazards. Some are relatively safe, some are relatively hazardous. Full-time skydivers face some quantifiable risk of injury/death and full-time accountants face a different probability. It seems to me that police work is, by comparison to some occupations, a relatively safe career choice. I used to fish for a living (number two, right behind logging), and I currently draw a small percentage of my income by teaching skydiving. I'm also a member of the public, and police deaths don't typically upset me any more than any other occupational fatality. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    How many construction workers died while building homes for people to live in and buildings for people to work in? How many fishermen died trying to catch food for people to eat? Why do people make such a big deal about on-the-job deaths in this particular occupation but not others? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I agree with at least 3 of the picks, and am probably only being biased in giving the Seahawks about a 50/50 shot. I'm a die-hard Seahawks fan and my daughter has always loved the Rams. I've got pretty good tickets to the game for her and I (aisle seats, 35 yard line, 14 rows up from the field). She's stoked about being on the visitor side, where the Ram's sideline will be right in front of us, and I'm happy to see her happy (plus I expect to have fun). Unfortunately, one of us is going to be grumpy (probably me) while the other one gloats during the 4.5 hour drive home afterwards. Oh well, I've been a Seahawk fan my whole life, so I've got lots of experience at being disappointed. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I'm not really sure why I decided to use this "glamour shot" as my avatar. You're probably right, that I'm just using it to score with the chicks. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I don't give a shit about the BCS, but this will be the first time in an awfully long time that I won't watch the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl is supposed to be Big-10, Pac-10. Regardless of who participates, it is almost always a guaranteed sell-out, and is (this year) essentially meaningless in the grand scheme of things. In my opinion, since it doesn't matter in dollars or rankings, the selection committee should have stuck with Cal for the Big-10, Pac-10 tradition. Who gives a shit if Cal gets their ass handed to 'em there or somewhere else? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I've got one of those as well. It'll now come in handy on those mornings that I'm in the field, so I can take a thermos with me. Several years ago I used a timed-coffee machine every day. I lived in a little loft apartment, and every single morning, my cat would jump off my bed, go to his litterbox, and stink up the place 10 minutes before my alarm would go off. It didn't matter what time I set my alarm for, he'd always beat it by 10 minutes. I was baffled (and somewhat irritated) for MONTHS before I realized it was the coffee pot triggering his morning ritual. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I've been trying for a week and a half to rent that, and every store I frequent has been out each time I've visited. This morning I saw that the video area at my grocery store was even out of the "for sale" versions. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    There's an espresso shop between my house & my office, and another in my office builiding. I've got my morning routine down so well that I can get up a scant 30 minutes before I arrive at work with my first coffee in hand. Doing coffee at home every morning would cut dramatically into my beauty sleep, and trust me...nobody wants that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Already playing around on travelocity & cheaptickets.com. Can you believe that in the last 2 hours, the price of the cheapest ticket on travelocity has gone up $60??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Did someone mention snowboarding? In Colorado? On a weekend for which I already have Friday off? Got room for another?
