h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry, I can't say that I'm familiar with the series. I read a couple of her novels when they were still SciFi. Before science/fantasy became the genre of choice.

ah, one of my fav. series' but the library doesn't have too many of them><

*flicks back a page ... *

Waitaminnit ... 'Twas Intern that called here on this thread. Young Missy, you just grab yer books and scoot on back to one o' them other threads !!! *totally unbelieveable scowlies and stuffs*

ok *hops up with books to go start another thread* maybe i'll start a rev fan club....

I like Egg And i like cheese never had the two together sounds different

I Think if i was ever to live abroad they would be the two things i would miss good quality bacon and eggs i would go mad Even tho at the moment i am on a diet 13 and a half stone

Two slices of toast, a simple fried egg (yolk done hard or broken), a slice of cheese, a bit of mayo and then ... for colour maybe a bit of lettuce and/or a thin slice of chilled tomato. Really yummy, covers a lot of the basic approved food groups, and is quite a filling meal done in minutes.

*translates 13.5 stone ... * About 10 pounds more'n me. Dare I ask how tall you are?

On a Bmi i would venture a guess at being obese i will have to lay off the Yorkshire puddings

A chap I have known for many years is considered a health concern via BMI. He's short, and a great load of muscle mass. It's a meaningless measure, as a lot of folks have finally realized. I have commonly been about 23, but am now probably about 26'ish.

That's what I get for marrying a military . ... Well, and some age factor too.

You will never starve marrying a yeah i guess you might be right i go to the gym 3 times a week i think a lot of my problem i go to the gym then eat after so i eat and eat filling myself up after burning the calories and my body then relaxes turning it into fat or something along them lines

I used to like the Pern books.

I trust everyone is well. Maybe stressed up to the gills by having underfoot, but basically well.

I went to a gym once, 'tweren't much.

I walk 14 miles a week, and swim two miles. This has had no effect on my waistline....

I hear the patter of little feet now. Squirrels on the roof?

Yeah know what you mean i work on meals on wheels and have to do a lot of walking and sometimes running and i cant say i have seen any difference after over a year in the job

Dr. Kenneth Cooper has madea plausible case that very long sessions of continuous exercise are the only solution. That's great in his aerobics laboratory, but in real life the average person's chunks of free time occur in 30-minute (or shorter) chunks. Retirees can do one or two hours of running/walking/swimming/bicycling at a time, but you have to get rather old and tired out before you have that kind of schedule.

i have just been working it out i am out for 2 hours a day if i take the time i am driving to places i reckon on about 45min depending on volume of traffic and traffic lights but there again thats not continues exercise i will have to time the walking tomorrow

What sticks in my craw is the idea that you're exercising, not because you enjoy it while it's happening, or that you get that wonderful euphoria as you're coming out of the pool, but because some doctor somewhere says your numbers are not right. Being reduced to a set of numbers distresses me.

But I *do* love that feeling of euphoria just after swimming

you cant beat a good swim that is good exercise for you as well

My bone density or something has my flotation point being about 16 inches below the surface. Swimming has never been a fun time ...

But in boot camp, I was able to do the push-ups on the bottom of the pool.

Was there water in the pool while you were doing the pushups?

i know boot camp is meant to push your body to its ultimate limit build confidence and team work but that is really going a tad to far me thinks
