| Have SOMETHING in the morning. A protein bar or a protein shake or a hard-boiled egg. You'll be hungry again later in the morning, but you'll do more to lose weight by eating several small "snacks" throughout the day than trying to skip entire meals. |

| I love orgasms. I hate sex. It's not that sex is all that bad, but great sex is about being in tune with your partner...knowing what they want and if you're giving it to them. Both parties have to be tuned to each other or one side winds up doing all the work. My sensory issues with smell, touch, ta... |

| Maybe the clothes hides the contours of the muscles? This. Unless you have the ability to gain "mass," nothing short of wearing skin-tight garments will show off your body. Lots of guys work out and are very strong, but they get lean and ripped. You don't see what they achieve unless they... |

| To make healthy eating simple, eat simple. Find a very basic diet of healthy foods you don't mind eating and are very simple or no prep. I go to the gym several times a week. My "food" consists of protein bars, Muscle Milk and a simple dinner of a meat and veggies. On weekends, my breakfas... |

Hard? No.
Do I have to make myself spend the extra few minutes to do it vs. going straight to bed after brushing? Yes. |

As long as we have a growing problem with good-paying full-time jobs in America, the businesses will exploit it to their advantage.
Only when there is a true shortage in skilled labor do the workplace conditions come up on their own. |

| All I can say is this.... Parents with confident and capable kids (all things being equal) DID NOT shower them with UNMERITED praise. They let the kids take risks, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. They were supportive but didn't stroke their egos to make them feel good about themselves. T... |

| In my mind, BULLYING is when someone deliberately sets forth to TORMENT a person or group with bad behavior. Offending someone is not bullying. Telling someone they are wrong (or expressing opinions to the same) is not bullying. Telling someone they are fat is not bullying (if it's true). However, i... |

Honestly, the one great thing about B5 is that you can watch the whole series 2-3 times and pick up on things you didn't catch in earlier viewings.
The story was that "complex" or "deep" with details. Each episode was it's own story but told something of the larger story arc. |
