Someone in our office had the lap band surgery almost a year ago.....I'm beyond sick of hearing about how her stomach will only hold 4 oz. anytime that food is discussed.

I'm still unsure of why she had surgery on her stomach. Her stomach wasn't the problem. Perhaps she should have had her elbows fused, to where she couldn't bend them, in order to prevent the motion of putting food in her mouth.

I had a really good friend that had that operation and died from it years ago. There were complications and at the time he left behind a 10 year old son.

It was a very sad situation.

I don't understand having that done unless it is absolutely necessary. And I hear the failure rate or people that lapse back into old habits is high.

It's a band-aid and doesn't solve the real issue which you mentioned above!

That's terrible to hear!

The sad thing is that the surgery wasn't required. This individual made claims of going to the gym, but from what I heard always made excuses as to why she couldn't do the exercises. This individual also has a filing cabinet behind her desk that is full of snack cakes along with a mini fridge behind her desk. She is nothing more than a miserable person who looks for simple joys in order to make herself feel better about her life....food being one of these small rewards. It's a personality issue more than it is anything else. If she could simply own that the problems in her life are brought on by her poor decision making and do something about it, she would be a much happier person in general.

From the outside looking in, she continues to eat junk food all day; the sound of her crunching and lip smacking all day makes my skin crawl. I have to hear, countless times a day, about how difficult it was for her to have this surgery and according to her, how everyone tells her how this is the lazy/cheaters way of losing weight; but no one realizes how hard it is not to be able to eat. I've come really close to telling her if she wants to know what hard is, come with me to the gym for a night; then do it every night 5 days a week. Having a surgery to lose weight, simply because you have no will power, is not held in high regard with me.

its not 10am, and i need a drink asap. i dont even drink at all. I dont even have a favorite drink.

i cannot understand how certain individuals lack common sense and you provide service to community, convincing them they are saving them money.

im working on project that is on specific budget, the arch redesign a floor where new bathroom is roughly 10ft away from plumbing lines. These pipes are in area where there is no work involve. I cant run new pipes from basement, increase cost of the project....So architect, please show me where do you want to run new plumbing lines.
In order to make this work, you need to demo some walls and floor to make connections.

Dodge has forced me to keep my Hellcat b/c they pretty much give away new ones. I am not going to give it away. If I have to spend the money, it'll be on the payments as I keep enjoying it vs come out of pocket thousands just to sell it. I could be stuck in a worse car, though.

I would have got a fresh flat-top and had a USMC t-shirt on, and a big pistol in a shoulder holster or a leg rig. I would have had one of my big rifles up on the workbench in the garage when he came out there to meet me. I would have made sure I had some solvent on my hand when he shook it, so the scent served as a reminder of "dad" during their date.

Knowing that there might be serious consequences for any fuckery (or fucking, in this case) isn't a bad thing at all.

I come home with your daughter, she's already informed me of how tough you are and that you generally aren't fond of guys she brings home. I brush it off and walk in, shake hands with you.

My first question is "why do you carry a pistol on your hip?", followed by "nice rifle" because best way to get in a girls pants is to get tight with her dad. The solvent smell intrigues me so I ask about any projects you have going on, because I'm genuinely interested. You show me around, we end up having a decent time, and you give her the seal of approval.

Reminds me of the time when I had to compliment a boomer's 318ti, ended up with a vintage tool he cleaned up, got brownie points with the girl and the dad

When a girl says her dad loves to mess with the guys she brings over it's a fun challenge; 9/10 times the dad is cool as shit too and you think "wow why is he cooler than her?" so you stick around until you realize a major red flag and feel bad for not being able to hang with the dad anymore...

Well I got lucky in that his dad is over the SWAT team in our county, his uncle is the Coroner, and all of our families are friends.

His dad told him from that the start that by looking at me, I wasn't a person to be "crossed" and that if it came to that, we wouldn't have any problems with getting rid of the body.

Of course it was all a joke, but I think it still planted a seed in his mind.

Plus he went to my gym so I would pop up occasionally when he and his friends were there.... and I would mess with their heads by warming up with the weights they were struggling with.

My second father-in-law was a district attorney, and her older brother was (still is) a federal prosecutor. Suffice it to say that I underwent a thorough background check. And passed.

Subaru is the official vehicle of lesbians. Are you sure she's batting for our team? I'd say some tests are in order.

How does one test for lesbianism? Show her a picture of Jodie Fosters knuckles and check her reaction?

A possible test would be to recollect whether she's ever asked YOU to make HER a sandwich.

Or taking a look at her furniture, might be a giveaway if she prefers tongue and groove construction.

Into my gym into the ladies locker they'd placed a sign for voting a special sauna day just for them, even they have only a mixed sauna though…
Thats not fair to all paying members, so I let wifey add 14 dashes for NO on the board

True, but it is also the official vehicle of mindless idiots who don't know how to drive and think they need AWD for snow, at least in New England.

Whenever I come up behind a slow ass driver who is swerving all over the road doing 10 mph under the speed limit, it's usually someone in a Forester trying their best.

Yeah, and their best usually isn't very good. I'm always on the lookout for that goofy Subaru emblem, and whenever I spot one ahead of me I immediately make a plan for getting around it. Between them and Prius drivers - and I'm really taking some liberties with that term - they're hands-down the pokiest and most over-cautious weenies on the road.
