Because you have an extremely juvenile username, because your threads are not interesting, and because most of our posters are asleep right now.

If you wish to change your username, contact me at lynn bodoni @ hotmail . com , without the spaces. I am considering disallowing your username and have contacted the other staff members for their opinions, so even if you don't want to change your username, you might want to start thinking about more acceptable names.

Hmmmm, now I try to eat a bowl of highfiber cereal with fruit every morning (usually Cheerios with frozen blueberries, an astonishingly tasty combination). When this fails me, I eat a couple of those Metamucil fiber wafers and drink two tall glasses of water. When all else fails, I resort to the ExLax, chocolate flavor of course. The ExLax will always work, but I hesitate to use it too often, as I've heard that it can become habit forming...as in, some people lose the ability to move their bowels without a fairly strong laxative.

I hate being middle aged. I suspect that it's better than being old, though.

This made me laugh heartily! You have definatley reached 'that age', my mums discussions about bowel movements are legendary - she'll not think twice about talking about 'roughage' over the dinner table! To quote William Burroughs - 'when someone gets onto the topic of constipation the conversation becomes as inoxerable as the bowel movement being discussed'. Or something to that effect.........

I believe you've posted the most interesting thing I've seen under pimps name. I don't think changing the user name is going to help on this one. I haven't admitted to being middle aged yet, not sure at what age that starts. Don't answer that. I only want to fight ignorance selectively.

Well, I think that middle age starts when you start to worry about the various body functions that you've previously taken for granted. Bowel movements, for example. My husband can no longer eat whatever he wants without experiencing extreme gastric distress (especially after he goes to Pancho's All You Can Eat Mexican Buffet)(I swear I am not making that up), so that's another indication of middle age.

Of course worrying about when middle age starts is a sure fire indication that you've reached middle age.

That's not your bodily functions, that's your BUTT. Your bodily functions should still be in approximately the same places. If they aren't, I don't want to know about it!

Pancho's causes gastric distress for everybody. You live in Texas, why are you eating at Pancho's instead of Joe T. Garcia's, Herreras or even El Phenix? Is it just the all-you-can-eat aspect?

Oh sure, I tell you what I don't want to know and words are your best friend. You tell me not to tell you, I'm supposed to listen? Really it's not as bad as it sounds. I'm almost 2 inches shorter now. That puts everything closer to the ground technically. But thanks for worryin' about my BUTT.

I obviously can't speak for Lynn's husband, but it may be similar to my case. See, back in the day, when I was young and broke, it was precisely because of the "all-you-can-eat aspect" that I went to Pancho's. Now that I am middle aged and no longer broke, the "all-you-can-eat aspect" is no longer a draw ... it is even a drawback (gotta watch that damn waistline!). And yet, sometimes, I can't explain it ... I get this craving ... and I just hafta go to Pancho's. And for some reason I can't explain it tastes sooooo goooood .... but afterwards, the inevitable effects of eating a high-fat meal in the middle of my normally low-fat lifestyle kicks in ... and I don't have the urge to go for another six months ... until the craving kicks in again ...

*I* am not eating at Pancho's*. My HUSBAND is eating there. I think he just gets nostalgic sometimes. Heck, I have many fond memories of eating at Pancho's with my grandmother. These days, however, I know of a couple of good Mexican restaurants that are family-owned and pretty close to where I live, so that's where I eat.

In fact, I believe that I will go to Mi Charritos tonight for dinner. I will have fajitas and a margarita and a sopapilla for dessert. And I will listen to my arteries harden, but it will be worth it. I will probably eat too much in the way of chips and salsa, but that too will be worth it.

*I am still alive, and I attribute this in part to the fact that I gave up eating at Pancho's years and years ago.

Cheerios is not in the high fiber category! They have only 2 grams per serving. Out of the needed 25 to 35 grams a day, they hardly dent that. Though the blueberries are nice at about 6 grams per cup. Gotta look at the labels and go to the natural foods section of the store and find some Breakfast Bark Delight or Super Colon Blow if you want high fiber. Frosted Mini Wheats have 6 grams per serving and Raisin Bran has 8...so those are a decent start. And Yeah ...I'm obsessed ... with a lot of things.

If you want fiber, get Safeways whole wheat Fig Biscuits. More fiber per biscuit than in most fiber pills and drinks. Taste good too.

No poopy problems about reaching middle age. I've got a different problem. Let's see, how to word this delicately? Oh, hell, this is the Pit! I pee when I laugh. I pee when I cry. I pee when I sneeze. I pee when I cough. My sister told me I'm not allowed to call her "Squirt" anymore, because now I'm the Squirt. And I seriously cut out a Depends coupon the other day, although I'm not quite desperate enough to use it yet!

Judging by the fact the that OP only has started one other thread, I think Lynn can safely leave him banned.

Umm, N. Sane? Does the word kegels mean anything to you?? You might want to ummmmm ... Well, let's just say it's not just for breakfast anymore.

And concerning the rest of the thread... Bran Flakes are just wonderful (and quite fabulous if you use half&half rather than skim milk.) High fiber and high fat, now that's what I call yummy!!

Great. That means I've been middle aged since I was 22.

I am thinking of just banning outright anyone who registers a name with "Pimp" in it anywhere. I thought that I would give him the benefit of the doubt last night...he had another couple of threads which I closed and which xash removed. I believe one was in GQ, which asked "Who's the man? Pimpdaddylongstroke!" or some nonsense like that.

I really do not think that ANYONE who has some form of "Pimp" in his name would be a valuable addition to this message board.

The only Pancho's around here is an upscale decent Mexican restaurant that with my work badge can get combination plates 2 for the price of 1 at lunch. I would be jealous of a Pancho's which is a buf*fet, but I don't do buf*fets, ugh all of those unwashed hands hovering around the food, no wonder it gives peoples good bowel movements.

Since my plan is to live to 120, I figure I still have a good many years to go til middle age (and NO I am not gonna tell you low lifes how many years to go it is).

So when we do reach middle ages, do we have to also get the Spanish Inquisition?

I beg to differ, some of us have been able to sneak in as many as 100+ posts without being found out and banned.

I mean...some of THEM, some of [b]THEM/b]!

My contribution to this fascinating thread regarding bowellary* botheration would be as follows:

1. Smoke 2 cigarettes (or three, depending on botheration) on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning. Should flush you right out.

2. Stop riding the white pony. Intriguing as it may seem it will will take you on a gallop straight to hell. Winners don't use drugs, stay in school.

*Is that even a word?

...being a stupid foreigner I insist that I be excused from any accusations of maltreatment of your language, especially in the light of my unequalled coding skills...

Hmm, looks like "pimps up and ho's down" isn't always so. I must confess that the metrical rhythm of "pimpdaddylongstroke" has an aesthetically pleasing sound--a trochaic pentameter, if memory serves, identical to the beat of "shave and a haircut."

Regarding middle age--eh, age is a number, not a sentence. I'm 42, I work out, I eat right, and I don't smoke and seldom drink. People get older, I'm convinced, because they stop moving and stop being active. My goal is to be like Jack Lalanne, damn near 90 and still a young 'un. I still get expressions of disbelief when I tell people I'm 42, so I plan on cheating infirmity and age as long as I can.

And I crap just fine, thank you.

i know how you feel, i'm lactose intolerant as well....

i mean, whenever i walk by the dairy cooler in the grocery store, it takes all my self-control to not just lash out and smash every <bleep>ing bottle of <bleep>ing <bleep>ing milk i can see....
