The question you may not want to answer :D

A couple months ago my dentist told me I exhibited signs of male pattern baldness. (Thanks dude, I hadn't noticed!) So keeping off the gut for as long as possible is a priority. Fat and balding would be a bad combo.

just don't go for the trifecta! (limp town )

Why was your dentist checking out your hair?

5'11". 200 lbs. Been this tall since I was 15 or so.

At the end of highschool, I was 185 lbs and pretty solid from 6 years of football and wrestling. Best shape I was ever in.

Then I went to college and started drinking LOTS of crappy beer. Finished my freshman year at a bloated, blubbery 215 lbs. I decided I better lay off the beer a bit (I was drinking a 12-pack on a single night of partying, and I did this three times a week or so.)

The first summer of college, I got very ill (never figured out what it was) but I dropped from 215 to 175 over the course of 3 months (not much drinking, and I had a manual labor job outdoors for the summer.. the main thing was I had absolutely no appetite.)

Then back to college where I maintained 175-185 weight for a few years.

Then I went and lived in Germany for 6 months in 1997. Walked EVERYWHERE I went and dropped down to 160 lbs (drinking LOTS of beer, naturally.)

Back to my final year of school, and met the girl that would eventially become my wife. Hre cooking brought me up to 190 from 160 over the course of a few years. Homebrewing started at this same time, I so I can't say for certain which it was, but I certainly ate a lot more in those years than ever before, and my drinking stayed the same.

Then... PREGNANCY for my wife. I ate right along with my her; 3am trips for tacos, milkshakes two or three times a week, ice-cream brunches, etc.

Now, two kids later... I'm sitting at 200-205 (depending on whose scale I stand on.)

I need to shed a few because I refuse to buy all new clothes.

Hello Walker! Good to have you back. Where ya been?

 

[Walker]

I was on vacation in rural northwest Ohio from 12/24 through the 1/8. No internet access there. (Well... there is internet access, but between the 40 people in my immediate family back there, there are only 2 computers.)

Returned to work yesterday and spent the day going through the backlog of about 750 emails. Finally got a chance to breath this afternoon.

I hope y'all had good holidays.

CTRL-A CTRL-D works for me.

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

yep, glad your back Walker....

CTRL-A CTRL-D works for me.

I use that, but on subsets of mail. I have everthing color coded in my inbox to indicate how much attention (if any) I need to pay to the mail.

Black = I got this because some large mail alias was used that included me
Blue = I got this because I was included on the "CC" line.
Dark Red = I got this because I was one of the people on the "TO" line.
Red = I got this because I was the ONLY person on the "TO" line.

I CTRL-D'ed all the black ones and the majority of the blue ones. That left me with only 300 that I actually had to read.

Goo! Don't get me started... thank god I got a girlfriend before I took up a passion for beer! Otherwise I would have to look at my forming beer belly as less of a prideful achievement, and more of a hurdle in meeting the ladies...
