C’mon, THAT is a poster board cutout of McConnell. Absolutely hilarious if it’s not!

Agree 100%. There’s no way this guy is getting the conservative vote - based purely on his skin tone.

Sadly, we’ll probably be losing many more good teachers over this. It all feels so broken.

I will definitely NOT take that bet, sir. I’m seriously baffled at how they justify such moves. They’re closing libraries, LIBRARIES!! I can see ‘em patting themselves on the back, too. It’s beyond disgusting.

Back in the day I would comb a perm solution through my hair. I’de continue to comb throughout the specified time and then rinse/condition per the box instructions. I recall being happy with the results. Not sure if they still sell at home perm kits, though.

Brawndo has electrolytes.

“lazy” here; thank you.

I was in a bit of a hurry. Fixed it (I think) - Thank you!

Watching Vikings for the first time - loving it! The violence is absolutely thrilling and it’s so well done otherwise.

I loved it! Nolan masterfully intertwined timelines, an absolute riveting telling of history. The acting, score, and cinematography were all on point. I miss the days that this caliber of filmmaking wasn’t so few and far between.

My best advice is to plan ahead (i.e. bring your own snacks).

I’m on the road a lot lately. I pack up a small bag or cooler with cheese sticks, deli-cuts jerky, nuts, boiled eggs, avocado, protein shakes, sugar-free jello, fat-bombs (for times of fire indulgence)…Any combination of these is enough to make a meal or stave off hunger; otherwise, I follow the aforementioned restaurant advise of previous commenters.

Hope this helps!

Yes, thanks for bringing all this over. I’m only a few months in and found myself referencing it often; glad to know it’s easily accessible again.

Kudos on your success so far, it’s a great feat and I hope you’re giving yourself the credit and pride you deserve.

I’m actually in the same boat. I started in May, am pleased with the direction I’m headed, but am seemingly lost and frustrated when it comes to these plateaus.

This post I just found in the wild has really helped remind me of what’s actually happening and how to deal with it logically. It is a marathon, not a sprint- I hope it’ll help you, too and that we both keep on keepin’ on with the wins!

Thank you for this. I find myself incredibly frustrated during plateaus despite knowing a lot of this, especially about water and keeping it “right and tight.”

Seeing this post has really shaken me back into reality; I realize I can choose to take a logical (and healthier) approach, rather than forcing myself to go even more extreme.

I’m aiming to lose a significant amount of weight and I remain concerned about the hit/toll the deficit is taking on my metabolism. What you write (and linked to) about returning to maintenance has helped solidify a solid and smart way of dealing. Much appreciated, thanks again.

Love it - kudos!

Exact info I’ve been hoping to find, thorough and concise - thank you!

Absolutely fantastic- Thank you!!

It breaks my heart such young lives were taken. Even more so, knowing how commonplace these atrocities have become.
