New Favorite

540. A full minute of stunned silence means "My God what did you do?" not "Please continue."

I Want To Game With This Guy

If you play RPGs at all, this is worth the time to read through and giggle.

My favorite so far: 527. Even if the rules allow it, I cannot spend $64,000 to get the vorpal option for a forklift.

Poker? I hardly even know her!

A post! Good gravy!

Some fun details on our very first poker tournament. Enjoy!

Verdict

In the words of my doctor, "Nothing losing some weight and getting some exercise wouldn't fix."

Thyroid - good
Kidneys - good
Sugars - good
Blood Pressure - good
Cholesterol - a little high, not enough to medicate
Good Cholesterol - a little low
Bad Cholesterol - a little high
Liver - Not as good. Basically the fat around it is squeezing it and I have 'liver sweats'. Losing thirty will fix that right up.

All in all, not too bad. Still need to lose weight and eat more fibre. In celebration I bought cinnamon buns. With extra icing.

Doctor

I must admit I'm a little worried about my annual physical today. Beyond the testing to find the source of my sweating (if it's more than just being out of shape, it could be thyroid problems, diabetes, fun stuff like that) we have all the problems that run in the family. Diabetes, high blood pressure, prostate cancer...

If the worst he has to tell me is that I'm overweight and out of shape, I'll consider myself lucky.

Hey Ya

I scare a lot of people with my love of odd cover tunes, but there's nothing not to like about Obadiah Parker singing Outkast's Hey Ya.
