  1. I've heard the term eating around the sleeve before. I just want to make sure that I'm not doing it. One of my friends made me a special batch of beef jerky. He made it using Stevia instead of his usual brown sugar. It is a little high in salt because he uses a quarter of a cup of salt for every gallon of water. He sliced extremely thin and let it sit in the brine for 7 days before smoking. It was extremely good and amazingly easy to eat, because it was so easy I am concerned that I may be eating around the sleeve.
  2. We are a very sexually active couple as well. Neither my wife nor I are.concerned.
  3. I've never known a guy to get to "that point" and back away. Then again my buddies aren't superficial and haven't dated super models.
  4. The "fish" gets bigger as I get smaller
  5. My this thread has taken an interesting turn.
  6. When a woman says that she isn't wearing any underwear it is go time. When a man says that he isn't wearing any underwear it means that he forgot to do laundry. I'm a man! I don't let my wife do everything for me.
  7. Awww come on tell us how you really feel!
  8. Unfortunately that scenario sure doesn't look good in my head. I certainly would never do anything stupid for my wife but this woman is at least 80 years old. That is a seriously bad mental picture!
  9. I did a week without issues. Not everyone has a smooth time of it though.
  10. I'm on call this weekend for the first time since surgery. I had to swap a piece of equipment. On a normal work day I'm wearing my uniform but on the weekends it is usually a work shirt and jeans or shorts. I stepped out of my van at a customers place my shorts fell off! O-f-f, off! Needless to say I scrambled to cover my butt and I was quite embarrASSed. The old lady got a show and apparently I got a NSV...
  11. I'd just like to set the record straight. I'm a man. Eight inches of cleavage doesn't upset me and in no way was I fat shaming. There is a huge difference between a person (male or female) doing the best that they can to look appropriate in a professional environment vs someone who overly flaunts their body. I couldn't care less if they were 100 pounds vs 300+ pounds. Once again I'm sorry if I offended anyone here.
  12. Copied from earlier. You are correct, it is offensive and I apologize if I offended anyone here. The woman who I was in reference to absolutely disgusted me and my fellow coworkers with her display of her body to attract the older men that come to my office. Once again I apologize if I offended anyone here.
  13. Heck I'm only a month out and although I expected the cold I didn't expect it so soon. My butt, my butt... I need a much better office chair now. Also the pain in my back from posture changing, ouch!
  14. Mine are 4" above my belly button and and one dead center between my nipples.
  15. Unfortunately central sleep apnea won't be corrected by weight loss surgery but as you said you may be able to lower the cm how as the obstruction goes away.
  16. According to my notes my headache stopped after day 3. Sorry for the bad news!
  17. I've changed this up a couple of times now. I did the same thing but without mushrooms and crab. Instead I've done shrimp and old bay seasoning or shredded chicken and Valentina hot sauce.
  18. As a young kid I can clearly recall Wilson Phillips on MTV and thinking about how well they sang and how beautiful they were. Hold on, release me and impulsive are buried deep in me.
  19. Well said, young man. Touché . I guess all the rumors about you aren't totally true after all... Rumors are usually just that.
  20. The last few days it has been this one.
  21. Y'all are totally, utterly, delightfully demented and nuts!
  22. Finally a subject that I feel that I'm qualified for. Boobs. Yes I'm a man and yes I like boobs. That being said, I worked with a lady who was 80-100 pounds overweight who always wore clothes that were revealing. She was at least a full DD cup. I was so turned off by her display that it wasn't even funny. I have no problem with women with curves or a woman being sexy but when trying so hard that she turns slutty then something is wrong. Eight inches of cleavage is like plumbers crack.
  23. If Bubba (from Forrest Gump) farmed Brussels sprouts instead of shrimp: Bubba: Anyway, like I was sayin', Brussels sprout is the fruit of the land. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, Brussels sprout-kabobs, Brussels sprout creole, brussel sprout gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple Brussels sprout, lemon Brussels sprout, coconut Brussels sprout, pepper Brussels sprout, Brussels sprout soup, Brussels sprout stew, Brussels sprout salad, Brussels sprout and potatoes, Brussels sprout burger, Brussels sprout sandwich. That- that's about it. Don't forget cold Brussel Sprouts and garlic marinated in Vinegar and oil. YUMMMMMY!You need to take 3 dollar store pregnancy tests and average them out cuz your either going to be craving pickles and ice cream or your totally, utterly nuts!
  24. Absolutely. I couldn't be happier with how everything went other than my initial coordinator. If you want my coordinators info shoot me a message.
