Wow, thanks for that walkthrough Tanya. I have to admit as a man I have trouble wrapping my mind around the whole idea; birthing doesn't seem like something I'd ever want to do, but that must be deeply rooted in our biology.
Goin' to Comic-Con tomorrow! This is the first time I'll be attending the entire weekend and checking out Preview Night, and I think it's safe to say that it will be SEVERAL WESOMES NOT JUST A SINGLE WESOME
Just so you know, my out-of-townliness will mean I'll likely be unavailable for spambot-punching or general moderative duties through the weekend. To that end, please respect the following proclamations:
- Spambots: you can still post, but your first post must be deemed on-topic by a non-spambot peer to avoid immediate deletion. If you use good grammar, we might even let you stick around!
- Non-spambot newcomers: welcome! There are many obscure and/or unwritten rules regarding general conduct on these forums, and any rule-breakers of these cryptic missives are subject to immediate banning just 'cause, but if you'd like a summary, you need only remember Wheaton'sLaw.
- Oldcomers: post more why don'tcha? I challenge you to start no less than three new threads and corresponding discussion topics.
That ought to keep things from burning to the ground for the time being. If I don't get a chance to sign on whilst Comic-Conning, I'll see you folks Monday!
I finally received my diploma today! It says I'm a Bachelor of Science, which is unfortunate, because I was hoping it would say I was a Bachelor of SCIENCE!
I recently got myself under the 200 lb mark. Once I found a fairly recent fat photo of me, I decided I had to make something like this. So here we are.
I still have more work to do. I need to shed a fair amount of flab still around my stomach and chest, but I am no longer the fat sack of crap I used to be.
Nice work, bro! I too am a recent member of the below 200 lbs group. I can thank a break up of mine for giving me the drive to want to look really, really good.
It didn't make her jealous like I thought it would, but at least I'm healthy!
I passed my 2 week Lineman training. I'm an Apprentice Lineman now. I can climb wooden poles and do de-energized work. I'm not allowed to play with the electric yet. I'll get trained for that in a couple of months. It was a pretty hard class. We had 12 people, 2 of us made it through.
Because it's very hard. We lot 8 people in the first week and the other 2 this week. The first week was just climbing up and down the pole non-stop to get us good enough so we wouldn't fall off when we're doing the work. This week we practiced doing some the the work. We We were mostly hanging cross-arms at the tops of the poles (30' up).

But yes, now I know more. Thanks for sharing!

That is now sorted, so I celebrated with spicy TexMex food last night. Needless to say, the sudden change is causing some internal reactions.
Not ten minutes ago, I did a massive fart. Esmé, who was about three feet away from me, started sniffing, rubbing her eyes and crying at the smell.
I am the world's best dad.

Sadly, I still cannot grow a beard.
Congrats, losing so much weight through sheer willpower and not trying to cheat it.

I'm guessing it's because of the beard.
Different kind of lineman.
