Felt pretty sick today, tickle in throat, so bad my eyes were watering, and we were traveling for a while. Plane, car, car, etc. Not great. Passing out, hard to look after Junior. Since I'm his primary caretaker that meant the others assumed I was looking after him even when I couldn't.
Luckily he's asleep, I'm about to fall asleep, and I'm starting to feel better.

Everyone is different. I couldn't eat enough food, lost 5 lbs. Growing bone takes a lot of energy -- ask any parent of a teenager building femurs. It's possible that the quicker healing of surgical recovery is because less bone is needed to recover. My clavicle is a fair bit thicker now, so I wonder if my non-surgical recovery just needed more bone to fill the gaps.

I am a weight gainer, no doubt. Was 100+ lbs heavier when I was younger, up to about age 21.
My eating habits are not normal. When they are bad, they are really really bad.

Actually slept the whole night last night... First time in weeks
Woke up feeling somewhat normal, this is a good sign!

Differences abound. When I said I couldn't eat enough, like seriously 6,000 calories and I was still hungry and losing weight. Eating habits be damned.

I binge eat, but haven't had that big of a gain. The good thing is my binges now are small; last night I fell off the wagon and had 16 cookies. In the past a binge would be the whole box, and at least a pint of ice cream to wash it down.

I got my wife an iPhone 5s for her birthday today. Should I:
a) wrap it up in the box and call it while she is unwrapping
b) wrap up the box and put/call the phone in a mail envelope (i.e. Matrix style)
c) wrap up the box and put/call the phone in her purse.
d) other

spreaking of iPhones, someone either stole my wife's or she lost it. She just called me from her dad's phone freaking out, crying hysterically saying her phone had been stolen and asking me to change the password on gmail. I changed the password and booted the phone out so they'd have to use the new password to view anything. I don't think she had any findMyPhone type stuff setup, unfortunately. Also didn't have a passcode. They're at a flea market or something and it was in her back pocket, and she said it's just gone. I'm hoping she dropped it, seems like pick pocketing someone out of a tight jeans pocket is a lot of risk for an old iphone, it's just a 4, not even a 4S.

She wasn't pickpocketed. Somehow it was still in the car, between the seat cushions. She swears up and down that she felt for it and it was there and then two minutes later it wasn't. Obviously it couldn't have been there (right?), and she feels stupid, but I've had similar things happen, you feel for something and you're sure it's there but your brain is just messing with you.

When I called women for a date a million years ago, it was on a rotary phone hoping not to get her dad.
This is pretty funny.

That I am...
Two years ago today, dad passed. I'm dealing with it pretty good I think. Thinking about the good things. I'm not a religious man, but I sense he's watching over me and giving me strength... With mom at his side... Two more days and it'll be 3 years for her. The nice thing about this whole thing is I'll be spending Christmas Eve and Day with my brother. Something I have done since my parent's were alive..

Cool. The sooner a decision is made, the sooner you're back on the road.

My bro was chillin at the mall once and felt something touch his back pocket. He instinctively grabbed the guys wrist just as his hand was in the pocket. The dude was freaking out. He ran off as soon as my brother let go.

P Zero's aren't that bad, whats the tire size? What are your goals out of new tires? Like what would you like to do:
Have good wet traction?
snow?
mileage?
dry traction?
You can't have it all...
