On 1/3, I started the ketogenic diet. I did it back in 2017 and had great success. Then, in classic yo-yo diet fashion, I put it all back on. This year, I'm taking it all off again. My goal weight is 190lb (I'm 6'2"). I made it down to 208lb in 2017. Unlike last time, I plan to go to the gym a couple days...

I feel a little sorry for those stuck in the traffic jam during the blizzard. At the same time, not too sorry. That is exactly why I've had an emergency kit (get home bag) in my car for decades. The situation does remind me of something that happened many moons ago.
In the early 90s, I worked at a Blockbuster Video in Chicago. We had...

I agree, I also worked for blockbuster and truly believe they was a better time, it was almost magical

The last video store in my town closed in late January or February last year. It was half a block from my place. Prior to the covid shutdown, it was doing enough business to stay open. Covid killed it.
Late this evening, I started working on the "test out" for a mandatory class in school. I have to prove to them I'll be a successful student. ....even though I already graduated from that very school. Twice. On top of that, I have an Associate's Degree from another school. Honestly, it is offensive. Worse, I keep getting out of bed because I think of new...

Normally I don't bother with the New Year's Resolutions, however this year I am doing it. I have two, but they are both related. I plan to finish building the Purple Strat and I need to work on my guitar lessons (via Fender Play). There isn't much I can do about the strat until spring. The paint job sucks (the flaws don't show in the...

It is interesting how many people think I should be somewhere other than home alone on Christmas. For me, it's just Saturday. ...a Saturday where I can't go get a burger because everything is closed. harrumph.
I'm in school full time and working full time. Today, I get notified that we have bedbugs in the building and I have to follow specific instructions to clean my apartment so pest control can come in and check the unit with a dog. If I don't do it correctly, they won't check the unit and I get the bill to have them come back...

Have you ever had the kind of pain that goes right past ouch and into laughter?
>me, orders chicken sandwich<
>cashier rings up spicy chicken sandwich<
me: "why does it say spicy chicken?"
cashier: "you don't want spicy?"
me: "I didn't ask for it."
This has happened several times recently, at different places. Nothing I say during the ordering process even remotely sounds like the word spicy (I order by meal number). The only thing I can think of is, people...

As I took the second bite of my salad, something very small and red ran around the rim of my plate. I suspect it was a mite. It was probably in the bag of salad I had just opened. I threw it out and the salad topping because it is mostly red as well (could have been in there). I'm pissed because that was my...

FSA: "you qualify for $18,000 in student loans."
College: "The best we can do is $4500"
Now I have to call the school and find out WTF happened. The loan amount isn't enough to cover the full year.
