I heard a story in the news a few weeks ago about a person who took their dog to the vet to have a checkup and it was put down.  F*cking bad administrative error.

That's freaking horrible.

Sorry about the loss of your dog, Shadowlord.

Ditto.  The cruel thing about dogs is that we (almost) always outlive them, but it's even harder when they're taken away early.

Upon further inspection of the play.  She did hit the driver first.  Note to self, dont move to Cleveland.

although the drivers retaliation is overkill.

Since the 10th of October I am without work again. The Church i worked for had great plans for making a walking path through their lands, passing historical sites and connecting the church and their eco-farm/after-school care. We would make signs and maybe arrange for a tour around the cementery presenting the more special graves and life stories there.
But the economy turned against us. We got budget deficit this year and no matter how many cuts and twists, it was never to go away completley. Even though my work was supported from the state due to my dissabilities, they could no longer give me a new project since they had to cut back on core services, like not employing new staff for those who retired etc.

It feels tragic, cause they wanted to have me there and everyone, including those church politicans in the congregation board, believed it was a good thing that would benefit the congregation and the parish as a whole. But instead of taking a deficit one year, or increasing the tithe with a 100 crowns per year (10 Euro) they wanted it to balance at any cost.

So I had to go having finished a half-year project and managed to start preparations for a new longer project within that time!

It is not fun.

Mathi I hope you find something soon, or rather that someone finds your talent.

Sorry to hear that Mathi, I just went through a scare and lucked out at the end.  Life has its ups and downs, its ebb and flow, its deaths and rebirths.  Its a roller coaster that can be fun and scary and can put a emotional and physical toll on you.  The great thing to know is that others are in the same car as you and can share in the laughs and sobs.  When this sort of thing happens, depression can chip away at you.  You are lucky enough to have a family to support and encourage your next rebirth.  I wish you the best of luck my friend and the greatest of opportunities.

Cheers Mathi.  We love you man.

What he said.  Try to stay positive, because you never know when the next opportunity will knock.

does any1 else ever feel gluttonous ?

I only weigh 76 Kg, and am 5'9'' , so not obese, just normal ish size,

so it's not like i am stuffing food down my face,..

I just feel like I have had my fill of food,

like i want to abstain and starve for a few weeks ,

we eat well every day,

it gets repetitive eating well,

the human condition is all about relativity,

you can't appreciate the good without a spell of the bad!

it just seems wrong, the western diet,

i need to have a 40 day biblical fast in the desert 

[Feanor Fire Heart]

man I know how you feel.  I feel, and look gluttonous.  Trying to change that.  Just eat right and exercise.  That's what everyone says buts true.  there's no easy way and starving yourself is really really bad.  It just makes your body hold onto more ft later when you stop.

[mr chumley warner]

low carb mate,

i've lost 8 Ib in 4 weeks,

it takes lowering your carbs to trick your body basically,

not atkins low, but 60-80 g Carb daily.

i eat meat, cheese, veges, fruits, dark chocolate 85% cocoa real dark, loads of nuts, yogurt, dried fruit,

no rice/pasta/potatoes,

and exercise,


still i feel like a gluton though!

just ate a lot of pork

===



i might just not eat as an experiment,

i always feel alive when i eat less, and focussed

[Feanor Fire Heart]

dont over load on proteins if you are going to limit your carbs.  they need each other to work.

[mr chumley warner]

nothing extreme ,

i'm just cutting carbs down by 40%

adding more veg , nuts, dark fruits,

This seems to be pretty good advice for everyone.  Eating veggies and nuts tends to add fiber, which is good for many reasons.  Veggies also generally have less calories per ounce, so you can eat a lot without getting all the colories you'd get from eating the same amount of meat or carbs. 

But yeah, don't go Adkins...that stuff can really harm your body, in a long-term kind of way.

I need to gain weight..... It's just not happening haha

[jlutin]

I don't think you should go that far.  For some folks, Adkins works very well.  Not all.  Maybe not most, but for some it really works well.

Damnit Adventure Time! why you got to end season 4 on a cliffhanger! hell of a cliff hanger too! mind warped!

I think a good compromise is to do the zero-carbs/sugars thing for a couple weeks before re-introducing some whole grains and fruits. This will kickstart the weight loss, giving immediate results and incentive to continue dieting. It'll break the sugar/carb addiction but won't cause any of the problems associated with dropping all carbs(EG constipation).

Seriously, WTF.

Intellectual property law and it's application in the US is so screwed up.  I doubt this case will help in the end.  It's going to take well though out and carefully crafted legislation.
