Having burned all his bridges in New Jersey – those he didn’t shut down, anyway – Gov. Chris Christie today announced his escape plan: to run for the GOP nomination for president in 2016. There are so many reasons why Christie is likely undertaking this utterly doomed effort: ego, pride, galactically outsized ambition, the fact that everyone in his state hates him so much he might as well spend even less time there than he already does. Yr Wonkette couldn’t make it to this announcement in person
It CAN get a li'l childish around here, can't it? I know I'm as guilty as anyone of that. (I was gonna make a 'soft target' joke here but that would just make it worse.)I have rough days myself. Interestingly, I find that hanging out here eases them a little. Exercise is always good for the mood, and punching up is some of the best exercise of all. *grins*
Well genetics made me stocky, but learning from my depressed mother that food was a way to alleviate stress, and I was a stressed out child, contributed a lot.
Heh, about the same as my fiancee. She's self-conscious about it too, but she's matched me step for step on every little excursion we've taken together. Tough girl. I think it's the Irish in her.
... I agree. Yes, he's over-weight and probably suffers health-wise because of it, but to focus on his size is to get into Joan Rivers territory of going for the low hanging fruit. If you close your eyes and listen to what he says, and then read the dissection of the litany of lies he spews, there is plenty enough to find unappealing. Cartoonists are given free reign to caricature his 'larger than life' persona of course... (to me) it's a reminder of his massive ego. (p.s. sorry you had a rough yesterday - hope tomorrow is better)
... was working on my garden earlier today... and it occurred to me that I was paying for dirt, rocks, manure and dried tree bark (I think that's what 'mulch" is, but I have no idea and my search engine is in the shop for repair)... anyway, honest it might be, but it ain't cheap. Oh yeah... those perennial flowers I like so much? Turns out they are actually classified as weeds, but damn if the commercial nurseries don't market them well! At least I choose drought-resistant plants because water conservation is something everyone should be concerned with.

Been going to kickboxing. I feel like I'm going to die at the end but I keep going back.
260lbs actually.
Playing WoW actually.
I'm told that that's wonderfully therapeutic. Me, I dig in the garden. You know, HONEST dirt. *grins*
Ugh! living in an apartment! I have a few plants but because my apartment faces north I have limited sunlight.

... nah, I can't. Too obvious.If you would, Shy? When you're finished adoring your progeny? This one's seriously tedious.
Bravo!
Part-sun or full-shade plants will be your friends here. You won't get the spectacular blooms but they also tend to be lower-maintenance.
Isn't ironic? I just assumed a hipster was in charge of picking it out.
All aboard the 2016 Republican circus train!

Did you ever see anybody looking completely press ganged, and wondering if he'll ever live this day down, as the Crispie's kid does here?
