As you may already know, I had to pick up and leave DC and move to San Diego. My wife left her job at National Geographic and decided to pursue other interests and began woking as a freelance Copywriter. She's created a website www.caitlinhannah.com and curated a Holiday Gift Guide that is full of great gift ideas at all different price points. Just some cool stuff to get you started if you find yourself looking for that perfect gift for someone and need a little inspiration. The gift guide can be found at her blog here: http://www.caitlinhannah.com/blog/

Snowy definitely washes his stuff, but he doesn't check pockets. I got free cash!
@Chris Our money's so strong I leave it in my pockets on principle. Thing is I still don't check the pockets after washing/prior to selling. I assume I'm down close to $100 over the years. A chance to share the play money world wide :).
Seawolf was one of a few true gentle men; letting me know he got a little something something extra

Watching FED UP… Really wanna reduce my sugar intake... I don't eat fast food, don't drink soda, don't eat sweets (only cookies I eat are sugarfree, they have dinkle syrup as a sweetener), haven't had tea in a week (cause I add sugar, honey, and it contains caffeine) and have been replacing it by drinking tab water, don't pour sauces over my food, try to eat wholegrain/ dark bread, wholegrain rice, pasta,...
What other foods contain tons of sugar?.. DON'T SAY BEER CAUSE I'LL KILL YOU (I know it's full of it)...
Random announcement: this isn't the right thread... Bite me (I'm sugarfree).

Disclaimer: I don't know the context of Fed Up in regards to dietary implications. Just wanted to note that the carbohydrate in wheat (amylopectin-A) and many other grains has an extremely high glycemic index, higher than sucrose. So if you're trying to avoid the hormonal response sugar creates, you might want to broaden the foods you limit. $0.02

It's I forms of amylopectin are found in a lot of things: rices, tubers, grains, maize, etc. But whole wheat flour, for example, would have less of it by weight than refined wheat flour. Brown rice less than white rice, though I've heard it argued that brown rice has more harmful phytates relative to white rice.
One thing that I know doesn't have a whole lot of it, which I know you and all Belgians love? CHEESE! And vegetables and fruits. Fruits have fructose, which is bad for you unless it's buffered by soluble fiber, as you'd find in fruits. As a vegetarian, I bet cheese, nuts, and berries would be good things in good measure.

Roommate is bringing a girl home in a few hours to spend the night. I did some cleaning so things didn't look terrible. I also drove out at 6am [up early, it happens] to buy a frame for this print my sister bought me 7 years ago. It is now proudly displayed in our first floor bathroom:

Why you doing all that? Hoping for 2's up?

Too bad you don't have time to pick up a book for the coffee table. That would help make an impression on her.

God damnit why do I click Chris' links?

I find myself quoting Mallrats frequently as it's full of fantastic lines. I tried to watch it somewhat recently to see if it holds up and sadly, it's a terrible movie now that I'm well into my thirties. When I was a teenager or in my early twenties, the film was edgy and witty. Now, not so much.

Too early on a Monday for that. Staring at my coffee and glad that only female baristas work my favorite coffee shack.

I wonder if that's where the term "cock"tail came from… Or high"ball" and low"ball"...
