What its like in one of the unhealthiest counties in one of the unhealthiest states

I only wish I were as good about eating fruits and veggies as my 10 year old. He will polish-off a massive bag of baby carrots in a matter of just a couple of days. And I have to fight him for berries. It's getting him to eat protein that is a trick. When he turned 1 his birthday dinner included a lot of broccoli. We couldn't get him to eat his cake (though now he LOVES sweets--he gets that sweet-tooth from my hubby's side of the family).

My sister's boys are MUCH pickier. Though one is autistic and not nearly as picky as a lot of kids with that condition. She struggles to get them both to eat veggies of any sort. Until recently she didn't eat very healthily, though, either. The family joke is that her favorite meal is Mountain Dew and Doritos.

oh i know some modern kids that won't eat protein either. I don't get it. All I objected to were canned vegetables...

POTD (post of the day, for me anyway. just found this thread)

oooh, i like your thinkin'. is that scary?

When I realize the woman in the stall next to me is on the phone, I have the most incredible urge to make extremely loud whoopee cushion noises...

Well according to that article, the phone is already dirtier than anything in the bathroom, so maybe the phone is actually cleaner afterward.

It would be a neater trick than I can do, to wipe with the hand that's holding the phone, anyway. I've already lost one phone down a portajohn (no, NOT while I was talking on it or trying to wipe ).

Now I have to clean my phone!
Thanks!

I have a whole bunch of places I won't shop at because of poor service, but I haven't taken the correct measures and notified management. Like they'd care anyway.

Shop at independent or smaller establishments where management includes the owners. If you had a problem with a customer service person at <insert big box sporting goods store here>, maybe the management wouldn't care. But if you have a poor experience at your local bike store (or at TE for that matter ) you can be darn sure that the management (likely the owner, or someone with the owner's ear) is going to care!

I can't imagine that happening at TE! Service has always been top notch (I just wish my bike/sport clothing/fun stuff budget were larger so I could shop more)

Ain't that the truth??
