Gah, SE really needs to add more macro lines.

Dude, you're such an ass, Server Migrations should be a blast

Personally, I got paid.

By "awesome" I meant "not awesome".

Let's see where I can start...

Lost 18 lbs, gained 7 back, back on diet and exercise. Need to train for Muddy Buddy event in November for friends. http://www.muddybuddy.com/

Eating less carbs or no carbs during the week. Especially for evening. Tomatoes + Salmon + Onions + Garlic = delicious.

Improved relationship with my dad, we went to the shooting range for Father's day. Great Father and sons bonding shooting at targets. (I like the Sig Sauer P226 better than the Glock for some reason. German Engineering?)

Improved relationships with friends, been "hole-ing" up too much in FFXI. Have been playing less and less since the patch. Maybe I'll just finish getting all my smn magic merits and I'll be done. Just got 10/10 on SMN group merits earlier last week soloing.

Drinking White or Red wine at night sometimes. Not sure if this should be a improvement or not.

Having a glass of wine or so every night isn't a bad thing.

It's not even a glass. It's just 2 shot glass worth. Maybe just 1 sometimes. My friend said after he started drinking wine, he's been losing weight? He was 150 now he's 130...

I don't know that wine really has any kind of extra effect, but that little an amount can't hurt.

I personally enjoy reading about the effects of alchohol and health. It's almost as good as chocolate.

This month, it's good for you, next month it's going to kill you, after that it's good for you again, but only a little bit....

I suppose it depends on when they have their hangover. Ask me on a Friday night and alchohol is the bees knees, ask me on Saturday morning and it's the devils' own knob vomit.

With wine, its not actually the alcohol thats good for you. Something about the fruit or whatever thats good for your heart, but only in small amounts. Alcohol may be good for you in VERY small amounts. Just enough to cause vasodilation and relax you. It is damn good for relaxing.

Re: What's something you've done to improve yourself lately?

I sometimes wonder. Everything is alright in moderation, but it seems like the things that are always iffy (right now its chocolate and wine/alcohol) have a lot of money backing them, which makes me question the validity of the claims. I personally try to abstain from both, but a little here and there will only harm so much that its almost negatable.

A glass of wine after a meal aids the digestion, especially if you have a 'weak stomach.' This has been known for a long time, and I believe that's what Murphie was talking about. What everyone else is talking about are the recent studies into the various anti-oxidants found in wine, particularly Red Wines. You supposedly don't need a glass for those effects, but personally I don't put much stock in them.

I drink some wine sometimes because I like the wine, not because of any health benefits that might be studied away tomorrow.

Drinking luke warm water helps digestion as well.

How tall is he? If he was only 150 lbs. to begin with, and he felt he needed to slim up, I hope he's 5'6" or smaller.

I've been drinking FRS to counter-act some fatigue related side effects of a certain medicine, and I believe it's been causing me to lose weight. I'm usually right around 195, but currently I'm at about 186. It works well enough, and the taste is bearable, but I'm not sure if losing weight for me is a good thing. www.frs.com

I think he's like 5'6" or 5'5" I know he's shorter than me, but he's damn skinny. My other friend is 5'6" and he's like 135 as well. Their both skinny, but my 2nd friend is more muscular. I wish I had their metabolism. I guess I need to get off of FFXI for that to happen.

How much did they have to pay Lance to endorse it?!? Geez.
My friends have now been saying, "Dude, if Lance Armstrong can do it with, so can I, and he's only half a man!" Man that's so wrong. I respect the guy, he's top .02%.
