make me some fan art, then!!!

keep at it! in a week you'll feel so healthy you won't even know what hit you. i know how hard it is to kick caffine though, i've been trying to break my diet soda addiction for a while now because my dentist tells me the acid in it is destroying my teeth. even though i cry every time i get a filling (mostly because i have a small mouth and its like torture when they stick the adult sized instruments in it) i still get wicked cravings for it. i'm trying to stick to more natural stuff like teas and fizzy water, but it ain't easy. maybe we should start a support group!!

Good luck!

I know a legitimate massage therapist socially who is rumored to be good at it, although I can't speak firsthand.

oh man, changing your eating habits can be such hard work. kudos to you for doing it!!!!!

is this some kind of a "special" diet?
just make sure you get enough protien. not getting enough may be why you feel dizzy. drink lots of water and eat when you are hungry. i've been dieting for longer than i care to admit, and i don't trust a diet that makes you restrict certian food groups. a diet that does not allow for a lean cut of fish or wobbly bit of bean curd or occasional dairy treat or bowl of pasta is no friend of mine! if you have to deprive your body to get results, it generally doesn't end up lasting. take it from someone who knows and learned the hard way... many times.

i don't mean to butt in. i'm an italian momma at heart. when people change their eating habits, i get worried. than i end up putting my two cents in. i'll stop now.

I entirely forgot to ask you about this!

Sorry to hear it won't work out.

Bon courage!

good luck!

join this!

I apologize. I didn't know.
I don't find Zen/Tao embarassing, which is how I fill a lot of my time now (when I'm not playing counting games similar to boundcreature's)

what's a vato?

How vexing.

For our latest automotive vexations, see my newest entry here (which started as this comment).

grazie signoire!
it was my pleasure!

Did you shave for heat avoidance?

Lance Armstrong isn't particularly well liked here, but everyone knew he was going to win and so I don't think his actual winning had much further effect. From anecdotal evidence, there's a general mix of grudging respect for him as an athlete and relief that he's retiring so someone else (i.e., a French person) can win.

Wonderful meeting you yesterday. Had no idea you were a member until I read Hemlock's post today.

Boo for humid weather.

I'd imagine that is similar to a woman trying to control a man with sex who is entirely disinterested in sex?

Good luck with your peacekeeping mission!

As to your question the other day, the reaction to the Olympics announcement was disappointment and naturally radio-call-in-show conspiracy-theorizing about the "Anglo-Saxons" and cover stories about how everything was going well for Tony Blair.

Then the next day, the usual sympathy you would expect, as far as I could tell.

However, I didn't have any direct personal conversations with anyone on either topic.
