> Anecdote not related to thread, not worthy of it’s own thread: In first grade, I went to school and the teacher asked me where my math homework was. I said “The dog ate it last night.” She went off on me, asking how I could say that, and didn’t I know that God doesn’t like liars, and if I thought she was stupid, yadda yadda. I, this dejected, pathetic looking, 7-yr old, started crying and said (truthfully), “No, I mean she died.” I think I made the teacher cry.

Made me laugh out loud. I suppose that makes me a heartless cow..

> Is your weight in the normal range?

No. According to the old BMI ratings, I was on the low end of obese, but under the new rating, I’m smack-dab in the middle of overweight.
