The way she worded it was "judging floats for TLC and DC Pride." Well, not sure I believe the second half --- since OBVIOUSLY she doesn't know the name of the organization behind the parade. And judging for TLC? Huh? It's not like TLC gives an award for a specific type of float. More likely she's commenting on the parade and some of the commmentary will be included on My Big Fat Fatuous Lie.

Mr. Rogers. Of course I probably see this because I watch PGH stations. https://www.shootonline.com/video/gsdm-gets-neighborly-jewish-federation-pittsburgh-fred-rogers-create-uplifting-response# Damned onion ninjas.

Obviously you are not familiar with the episode of MBFFL in which Whitney proudly proclaims that she has urinated in the hot tub (at a resort, no less) and expects her friends to join her in said toilet......

Or Whitney Way Bore.

How about Rolling Blubber?

I know, but it can reduce the likelihood of cardiovascular complications.

You're a type 1 diabetic, right? I know a woman who has been t1 since she was 14. She's 74 now and still going strong, so there's a lot to be said for proper diet and exercise to live out a normal life!

But they didn't become mandatory until the late 70s/early 80s ...

Say it ain't so, Joe: Hi, this is Joe Kenda from Homicide Hunter on Investigation Discovery. It has been my honor to entertain you for all of these years. But recently I came to a decision that Season 9 would be the final season of Homicide Hunter. I made that decision because, to me, the integrity of the program is paramount. I have had a lot of cases. But those cases that remain are insufficient in number to sustain another season of the show — because many of the cases that remain are either too simple or simply too disgusting to be on television. The result of that is, I want to go out at the top of my game. And Season 9 will be the top of my game. I didn’t want to be the athlete that stayed on the field for one season too long, or the singer who remained on the stage after they lost their voice. You’re entitled to the best entertainment I can offer you. That will be Season 9, and then we will say goodbye. But it’s not really goodbye, because Investigation Discovery has informed me they have other plans for me. So I’ll see you again in something else…just not this.

I'm such a seat belt freak that when I bought my first car --- a $500 1963 Comet, way back in 1970 --- I went to Sears and spent $50 to have seat belts installed. For you youngsters, way back then, seat belts were NOT standard equipment.

That made me hoot so loud I scared my cats. TOWANDA!!

Oh gawd yes. And talk about targeted marketing... when I'm surfing the "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" or "My 600 lb Life" forums, I get ads for Torrid, and Nutrisystem, and Medifast......

I absolutely have to wipe away the drool when I see grocery store commercials that show beautiful, luscious produce. I has bananas, grapes, tomatoes and a cantaloupe on my kitchen table. I has cucumbers, scallions, and romaine in the fridge. I are doomed.

My own epiphany came as a result of work. Returning from speaking engagement at a professional conference, I had to sprint my 200+ pound self about 250 yards from one concourse to another. I arrived at the gate wheezing like an empty Windex bottle. I joined a gym the next day.

Yup. Been there done that. Padded seats didn't help me, but padded shorts did. YMMV.

If you decide to pursue cycling classes, invest in a pair of padded bike shorts. Otherwise you'll feel as if you've been on a month long honeymoon and saw nothing but ceiling.

Portmanteau. But I knew what you meant. :-)

No, but I seriously want to throat punch the idiots who came up with the Limu Emu.....

I didn't know that about the LA and LN!! I learned something new today, so I can count today as a success! Thanks.

You may be thinking of the linea nigra, the dark line that typically runs from a woman's belly button to her pubes during pregnancy. Not sure if all women experience LN.... I've never been pregnant. And I'm not a gyn, nor do they let me play one on TV. 😄

Oh. God. Yes. What adhole thought this was a good idea?

The frontal "crack" is most likely due to the linea alba, a long piece of fibrous tissue that runs from the breastbone to the pubic bone. As a person gets more obese, the LA will stretch somewhat, but eventually it can't stretch any farther and the fat pillows grow on either side of it. At least that would be my guess.

I didn't watch last night's episode because HOCKEY! But I did check in to the live chat during intermissions. After reading the comments, I was not the least bit saddened by not watching the episode.

You know the quote about not meddling in the affairs of dragons? I have one about cats: "Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are cunning and will shit in your shoes."

That's pretty typical for a cruise. Per person, double occupancy.
