Mmmmmm, naan.
I’m just a bread fan in general though, so it follows that I’d like naan.
I’m really unmotivated today. I’m picking my way through stuff at work, but none of it has a deadline of today so it’s really hard to focus on that instead of on hanging out here.
So to anyone else who’s bored at work and looking for some distraction: how YOU doin’? 
Shenanigans.
A man may lose enough fat around the groin such that the excess flesh around the penis may recede due to the reduction of fat content, but that only gives the appearance of a larger penis by revealing what your fat obscured – and that’s assuming that your fat settled down in that scenic bit of real estate to begin with.
In fact, I am perfectly willing to privately demonstrate this point as I progress along my own diet. 
Busdude - Congratulations! You know it’s kind of a double whammy of good news: You get your mug plastered on a legal flyer, and the wench gets her asshattery displayed for the world (or at least the local area) to see! It’s positively poetic.
Mika - Well, to each their own. To be fair though I haven’t tried Roti or any of the others so I don’t really have any basis for comparison on that front. I do like naan better than pita bread, though, especally when it’s nice and soft and warm. I also like bread in general though. In fact, I have been known to eat fresh-from-the-bakery crusty panini buns plain. Just tear 'em open and eat 'em while they’re still delectably soft and warm and crispy on the outside. Mmmmm.
Does “bored at home” qualify?
It’s true, and your explanation is dead on. It happened with me, but I’ll spare everyone the TMI.
Spare everyone TMI? In the MMP? :dubious: What on earth is wrong with you?
I just turned on the TV and it was on Animal Planet, and I nearly overloaded on Teh Cute – an orphaned baby bear stumbling around his (human) foster parents’ house with the cutest four-legged drunken stumble, just like a human toddler, I have ever seen! Squeeee!
I think the doctor was of saying what Bobbio and** Mindy ** said too. And this is what I was kind of thinking and picturing as well. The doc was talking about fat “down there” and used some medical term for it . However, when the doctor first made the statement, he worded it exactly like I had posted earlier.
I didn’t get to hear the whole thing because my husband had walked in and was saying something to me.
I’m feeling slightly hungry but sick at the same time. However, nothing here at the house sounds good. Well, frankly, nothing outside the home does either.
OK, I lost 120 lbs. The gain in Mr. Happy is left as an exercise to the reader.
Le sigh. One day I will make you all prontis, stuffed with potatoes and spices and yummy stuff, hand-made on the tawa (griddle). You may all still love naan (and I’ve no objection to that!) but you will also discover a new love.
The difficulty with buying a car right now is money. I don’t get maternity leave from work, so I’m going on unemployment when I quit, which will be about a princely $400-$500 a month. Cars are expensive to buy, expensive in insurance, expensive to maintain (did you know gas is $1 more a litre up here than you guys in the States pay? That’s what, $3 more a gallon?), and we’ll be making rather a lot less.
Also, aside from trips around, we don’t need a car. I can’t drive right now, although I’ll probably get my learner’s permit in the next few months. It’s a lot easier and cheaper for Mr. Lissar to take the transit to work than to drive. We’ve got restaurants, grocery stores, library, my work, and transit all right where we are. Right now a car would be a luxury. And parking here is sheer, unmitigated hell.
We’d like to get one in a year or two, and my parents will calm down about the driving thing in a few months, after we’ve done some smaller trips. We’ll also start thinking about renting occasionally. Mr. Lissar really didn’t want our first trip, with him a brand-new driver, to be in a car he doesn’t know.
I’m going to get some baklava. Any takers?
Because I’m nothing but a tease.
As far as Indian bread is concerned, I am Miss Puri all the way. A friend of mine’s parents lived in India when she was a child, and they always make puri whenever they cook Indian food. So, I like it best since it was what I was “raised” on. (She’s been my friend since the fifth grade.)
I’ve been meaning to ask you, doggio, do you always go to daily Mass? if so, say a prayer for me that I may be able to at least get one in a week (outside of Sunday, of course). It’s my GOAL. 
MBG, woo, you famous old thing you! I’ve been thinking of you since I’ve switched my children to public school this year and they are about to experience The Joys of the School Bus for the first time. Here, though, the buses are run by individual school systems, rather than an outside company. Do you know of the famous Carrollton bus crash, after which they changed a bunch of safety requirements regarding bus exits? That happened in Kentucky, in the very county where I grew up. (Maybe we’ve talked about it before; I can’t remember.)
Penis size? I have no response to that. [/Joe Versus the Volcano]
I’m bored at work myself…with really nothing to do other than answer the occasional phone call and browse around here. Only 2 hours and 20 minutes until I can go home…not like I’m counting or anything.
Uhhh…thanks, I guess, BBBobbio. :dubious:
Ooh, baklava! Sounds yummy, LiLi. I’ll take some – the CD drive is ready and waiting! But I do understand about not wanting to make your first long trip in an unfamiliar car. I’ve rented dozens of cars in my lifetime, and still occasionally run into one that I can’t find stuff in, like the one car I rented that had hidden the latch for the gas tank cover so effectively that I had to ask a total stranger at a gas station to help me find it. Talk about feeling like an idiot. And not all rental companies include the owner’s manual, unfortunately, which can make it even more fun.
I’m struggling to be productive today. My damn foot is burning so much that it’s hard to concentrate. And the more humid the weather gets, the worse it feels – I’ve noticed that the amount of nerve irritation is directly proportional to the weather, and right now we’re building up to several stormy days. I’m about ready to go pay that $150 or whatever out of pocket just to get the damn Lidoderm. Because it’s hard to work when it’s nearly impossible to concentrate. 
Ooo. I’ll take baklava. And Miss LiLi, in case no one told you, back trouble and swollen ankles are not a pregnancy ‘given.’ My pretty little ankles stayed slim and gorgeous through every one of my pregnancies. And my back only started giving me misery in my last pregnancy–you know, the one where I delivered a 9-pound, 7-ounce whopper (naturally) at the age of 41. :eek:
Thanks, but my monsters are gonna be nekkid!! :eek:
Well, they’ll be detailed and decorated, but clothes would cover all of that up.
Last day with the kids - I’ll be taking them to BWI tomorrow morning. They we won’t see them till Christmas. Oh well…
How about teensy optional hats and scarves that the monsters can be dressed up in for winter? And maybe even little teensy furry boots so their monster toesies won’t get cold?
Yeah, okay, I’m being weird. But I still think having a pottery monstery with dress-up clothes would be waaaay cooler than my stupid Barbie Doll was.
Yeah, I’m bored at home right now. I’m trying to decide whether I want to go to work an hour early or not. The train schedules are all weird and I either have to get to work at 4pm or 5pm (work starts at 6pm). I would prefer getting there a little over an hour early but the train schedules are not cooperating.
I do have papers to grade. makes a face
Hi, Y’All!
Sean - I also am sorry regarding your fiance’s father, my condolences.
Wile E - Here’s luck to your kitten (project).
Roo - Robert Heinlein was one of the * GREATE WRITERS* of the Golden Age of science fiction. He created such characters as Lazarus Long and Michael Valentine Smith (“Stranger in a Strange Land”), he also originated “Taanstafl” (“There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch” in “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”.) Dashiel Hammett wrote “The Thin Man” and other mysteries in the '30s. It, like the TM movies still hold up well today, and IMO the book is better.
I am getting cornfused in my old age - no Overdrive audio for me, Unabidged.com is where i DL’d the Boo books by Rene Gutteridge.
Haze - When I said “hang in there”, I meant don’t give up on yourself and the online thing. By all means, enjoy! (but the not-reading thing, is just beyond me.)
I am going to need a new cat soon. :sniff: When I got Dave (my black cat) from my aunt in '86, he was six months old and already named. He ruled the farm for many years, but due to failing eyesight, he now simply rules our home. We need a mouser, but in my experience, you don’t find YOUR cats - they find you. Still - we wait (not the most proactive approach, but there ya go…
Mama Tigs - ooooooOOOWWWWWWW!
Hope your Rx arrives soon and is effective
Not much goin on here today, but thought I’d “check in” and put in my 2 cents…
I’d like to respond to everybody individually, but I can’t cuz… uh…
well, I’m LAZY t’day!
HSM
Happens to the best of us.
I never was much for the dating game, but after being on the sidelines for so long it’s kinda fun meeting new people and hanging out. I’m not looking for anything serious at this point. My one concern is that this guy IS looking for something serious, and he’s been coming on pretty strong, which is already putting me off a bit.
I got an OKCupid email yesterday from a guy who boasted that he posted HP7 spoilers all over every random Internet forum he could find. (I had joked on my profile about having the urge to yell out a spoiler as I was passing a girl reading the book outside a cafe.) I was appalled. Why do some people go out of their way to be jerks? Sorry, dude, I don’t date douchebags.
Yeah, there’s a limit to that. Otherwise, we’d have a world full of really skinny guys.
Congrats to your daughter, Taters! She’s a smart one.
That’s a good rule to live by. Although sometimes it’s hard to tell when you start dating someone–the douchebagginess comes out later. We need an error-proof douchebag test, so we can weed them out right in the beginning.
Yes, you are. But we love you anyway!
LiLi, I’d love some baklava, but I should probably wait until after dinner.
I love bread, especially fluffy bread with a crunchy crust. Asiago bread, lemon and rosemary, sourdough…it’s hard being a bread person in a low-carb world. Oh, yeah, you have to have real butter, too–margarine is yuck.
That’s just nuts. Interstate travel is not that dangerous–I’ve done it many times, and it hasn’t killed me. Yet. I second renting a car–it’s an extra expense, but it’s still cheaper than flying.
