Meltzer's got a plan with a back up plan that's completely resistant to Chaos. He's like Maxwell Smart.

You do realize Max Smart was a bumbling moron that got lucky or agent 99 had to bail out his arse. Not a good comparison for Bill, IMO.

HAHAHA. I doubt I lose that much. Although I counted it up and in the last 3 days I've had less than 1200 calories. So yeah this blows.

The more you weigh the easier it is to lose larger amounts of weight. I could loose 60 lbs. If you lost 60 lbs they'd hospitalize you.

For a whole day I couldn't even keep down water. It was horrible. I was so sober.

Your mood reflects the weather this summer. Hot, sticky and stormy.

What's it going to take to ease your mood? Internet hugs? Take a look at your wife... you've already out kicked your coverage for life. What's to be gloomy about?

C'mon Joe, give us a little sunshine.

Saw every show like 40 times. Well versed.

Have you met Meltzer?

Edit: Not to suggest in any way that he's a moron.

I'm a woman. It's expected. lmao... I don't let it rule my life but I do like to know when I'm going nutso.
Although it's pretty easy to do when all you can keep down is gingerale and bananas.
There are some fantastic calorie counting apps for your phone that make it a breeze these days.

Next your going to tell us you count your steps too.

Although I should do both.... but my time is too important for me to type into my cell phone that I just ate half a banana and look up the caliore count for it. I mean people do realize that humans have kept relatively healthy for the first 100k years of existance or whatever it is without calorie counting...

When you're sober too long? What a crazy life that would be. Drunk then asleep - then drunk then asleep....

After not sleeping at all the 1st night I crashed out at 7pm yesterday, the fiancee woke me at midnignht to make sure I was alive. Then I slept till 6:30am this morning when the construction crew next door decided that it was the perfect time to begin throwing a chimney from the roof into an empty dumpster...
So from no sleep to 11 hours isn't too bad.
I just feel like I've been in an MMA fight and I spent the whole time blocking with my jaw or my ribs... Competes with the naseauted feeling...

Are you saying Meltzer IS Max Smart? Would that make Pannoc Agent 99 and Eklund the chief? OMG.

I don't count steps, but I do work out 3 - 4 times a week.
You'd be surprised how fast it is to track these days. It remembers my most common things so it's super fast. I can get an entire meal in and calculated in around 30 seconds.

And as for existing without it we sure did. But the processing of food makes it really easy to overconsume. If we all made everything fresh like my grandmother did I wouldn't count calories either. But I'm lazy and I eat pre-processed crap more than I should so I just keep an eye on it.

I like Morin, and I think there is a chance he could become anything from a 2nd pairing guy up to maybe a top 10 defender in the league. But really this blog is just trying to set people's mind at ease because they did reach to get him. You can call it reach or a gamble that his potential pans out. I think there were safer picks. I dont think it was a good gamble to make considering where the Flyers are with thier defensive situation. Maybe if the Flyers still had Pronger and Timonen wasn't ready to retire, but IMO it just isn't a good time to gamble such a high pick...
- youarewrong



A Professional NHL Scout that works for an NHL team, said that the pick is not a reach. I don't see what makes it a gamble.

Poor MJL trying desperately to keep this post on hockey.

Not to re-hash but I missed most of the reactions to Kovalchuk's leaving...
What is his cap hit for them? Something small right? And do you think the NHL is going to make a poop storm out of it?

I have a Devils fan who is a close friend. I have yet to grief him over it. want to get my facts straight first.

The question is, do we have enough room for dessert, and still be able to put together a good meal? Someone call Homer.
