  1. Obviously I can't speak to your particular relationship, but it's not an entirely irrational thought. She sees the kind of girls that fit, athletic guys are with, and she knows she isn't any competition for them. And lets face it, even if you would never cheat on her with those girls, you are imagining what they look like naked. You need to reassure her that you are losing weight for health reasons and that it doesn't change the way you feel about her one single bit. Also let her know that while you would encourage any person you love to try and become healthier, your love for her is not conditional on her doing so. I was in a similar situation. When my wife and I met we were both extremely overweight. She has lost 90% of the weight that she needs to and I've lost only about 30%. I was initially very worried that she might be looking to upgrade.
  2. My theory would be that she doesn't want you to lose weight because then you would be able to get a girl hotter than her.
  3. Phegley has as many homers in 10 at bats as Ramirez and Beckham combined in 475 at bats
  4. Why do they want the US in the second game? Do they think people are going to sacrifice a few hours sleep to see a group stage game of a regional tournament?
  5. Just noticed that tonight's US game is at 11pm eastern. Why?? I know it's in Portland, but can't you play the game at 6pm local time, or at least 6:30?
  6. I thought he meant dominating in hockey.
  7. Always be willing to eat salary if it gets you better talent in return. You aren't adding to your payroll at all in 2013 and probably not very much in 2014 so there's not much point in saving money for those two years. Now if somebody is interested in Danks or Ramirez then I'm a little more hesitant to eat any of their money in 2015-16. Being willing to eat salary also brings more teams into the bidding.
  8. With the game being in July and the teams a combined 27 games under .500, the game thread really ought to be in Trade Winds. Garza and Santiago pitching, unless of course they are traded before game time.
  9. Panama beat Mexico in the first match of the Gold Cup. Is Mexico not playing their "A" team or is this just a huge upset?
  10. Got a call for a phone interview while on vacation last week. To prepare for the interview, I always go on to the company website to review info about the company and to review my application. Among other things, I noticed that this application asked for a salary range. 30 minutes into the interview, the interviewer is clearly very interested in me and quotes me the salary range for the position. The top of her range is a full 20% less than the bottom of my range. I asked her if she happened to read the part of my application where I provided my salary range. She said yes, but she was hoping that I was "flexible". I asked her if she'd ever encountered a candidate that was "flexible" by as much as 20%. She said she wasn't sure. Very frustrating.
  11. Wife: What's the score of the Sox game? Me: 19-10 Cleveland Wife: Wait, I thought in a doubleheader they started the score over for the second game. Me:
  12. 2013 TDF starts tomorrow. Odds heavily favor Britain's Chris Froome.

  14. It's important to make sure you have 3 third basemen on the roster for a doubleheader.
  15. This was our wedding plan: The official photographer was hired for 25 shots. 14 were shot pre-wedding and were all photos of the bridal party and/or family that didn't require both bride and groom. 6 were shot during the wedding. 5 were shot post-wedding. We got a pretty good deal because we had a 1:30pm wedding and the photographer was able to book a second wedding for that evening since we didn't take long to finish up after the wedding and didn't require him to work the reception. We bought disposable 24-shot Kodak cameras for each of the tables at the reception. All the rest of the photos were taken on those by guests. My cousin was our DJ at the reception. He did it for free in lieu of getting us a gift. All we had to pay for was to buy him 2 CD's of songs we wanted played at the reception that he didn't already have.
  16. Trevor Bauer (RHP) 1-2, 2.76 vs Hector Santiago (LHP) 3-5, 3.03 followed by Carlos Carrasco (RHP) 0-3, 7.78 vs Q (LHS) 3-2, 3.83
  17. DH Dunn SS Beckham 3B Gillaspie SP: Sale, Quintana, Santiago, Danks, Axelrod RP: Reed, Jones, Veal, Omogrosso Bench: Gimenez/Flowers, Keppinger, Danks All other roster spots: players acquired from trade or FA
  18. Would have been even better if they pushed the start time back 10 minutes.
  19. 13 years is excessive in either case, but it's much more of a crime if it was bank property, and the defense claims of 1st amendment rights certainly don't extend onto bank property.
  20. Just to be clear, were these public sidewalks or were they on the banks' property?
  21. He didn't even try to cover anything up. Killed the guy two minutes from his house, and left evidence all over the place.
  22. So Morel gets lucky now because Gillaspie got lucky 9 months ago.
  23. I'm far from a legal expert, but I would think, given that this is an NFL player who has publicity and financial access to top-notch attorneys, they aren't charging him with murder without an awfully solid case.
  24. If you're going to commit murder, then you really ought to play a sport with guaranteed contracts.
