Here's what she said: "Personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on a map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. If the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography in our education so people will learn how to read maps better." OMG...is that really that better a response????

Goose: bwah! WD: It's cool about the rant. You know I love you no matter what. Tamara: Thanks for the well wishes. Ditto on needing the wine to discuss feelings. Meetings are counterproductive in that way. Harper: Thanks! I'm going for Professional Writing. I am not a morning exerciser (or an any-other-time-of-day exerciser, really) but I have to start getting up early now anyways so I figured I'd see how the other half (read: the motivated and mature) live. Kizz, totally feel you on that.

Goose: bwah!

What are you going for? I did my Master's right after I got the Bachelor's in Creative Writing, because I couldn't get a job. Grad school was interesting and it really flew by. I envy the ability to do morning excercise, I am a total waste of space that early in the morning. A coworker of mine lost about 90 pounds on WW with the online program. It does work. With all that you are accomplishing, I'm sure you'll feel a little better soon. Good luck with grad school! What are you going for?

The meetings would have stressed me out because I can't be in a room with a bunch of strangers talking about feelings without a glass of wine, some chips and guacamole, and lord knows how many points that would cost me. I hope you feel normal again, soon. Good luck with Weight Watchers.

Aloud, I said, "What the fuck did she just say?" and Randi Rhodes came on and said, "What the hell did she just say?" The population is embarrassing, as usual. Sounds like you're starting a good routine, should feel "normal" in about I month or so, which will be good. I knew things would work out well! (Sorry about my rant last time. It was exactly the wrong time for me.) XO WD They just played the audio of that kid on Air America.

"some of us Americans can't afford maps.. now i'm sure some of you white-collar-map-havers out there might not get it, but Ms Upton's empathy for the poor is commendable" now that's some funny shit...

I only do the online stuff because if someone said out loud to me, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels" I would kick her in the Fiery Habaneros. "Obviously, you’ve never had creme brulee." is MUCH more like it! Or chocolate lava cake or a really well baked cookie. Sigh. But I didn't feel like myself, either, and now I feel closer to feeling like her, a lot closer so I guess it's OK.
