I know you guys are all right about this. It's just hard because I just know my image will be tainted. I really wish she would just wake the f*** up (I have been transparent about this numerous times). I think I'm just going to have to talk to her again about this and if things get dicey, I might just end it. I am also uneasy because since she lives with her parents, that really limits the amount of time we can see each other. I have been to her parents place several times but I can't really sleep over there. She's so oblivious to how awkward it is too. So it feels like my relationship is one giant routine. Weird I know.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 10:36 AM) Pettie, how long have you been dating? My assumption is that you two live together as well. No we don't. She lives with her parents. We have plans to move in together next year.

What people deem acceptable punishment for a crime is somewhat subjective. I'm sure some people think that he's a kid and doesn't deserve to lose his life and others believe he should get the electric chair.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 10:07 AM) I think all you can do is stress how important staying fit and healthy is to you, and like you mentioned, continue to tell her how great the benefits of working out are. But you can't force a person to prioritize that in their life anymore than you can force them to prioritize their career, or some hobby of theirs. People are who they are and they usually aren't going to stray from that too much. If she just isn't your cup of tea anymore, then it is probably time to move on. I dated someone a few years ago and I made the decision to move on, partially because of this exact same reason. Seriously? My biggest concern would be the fall out. A lot of friends and family have met this girl and I the same of hers. To break it off over something like this, I'm sure I'd be judged to kingdom come (from my family too). I don't want to force her but I also feel myself not being attracted to her anymore. I probably just need to man up and get it over with but I just feel like I would be a s***ty person for doing this.

WTF is wrong with people. This is some sick s***.

We've been together almost 2 years now. I can see her getting complacent. I'm not a picky guy when it comes to how women dress or use make up (that's their prerogative). Hell, I don't care about her grooming habits either. I don't expect her to be a super model, but to just be in moderate shape would be suffice. She's gotten bigger and I'm just thinking to myself why does she think this is OK? I try to be passive aggressive by getting on the scale, showing her how my clothes barely fit anymore and stating how good it feels. Getting into shape too has caused my mind to wander since I see fit and hot women at the gym.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 09:49 AM) Didn't want to post anything that could give something away. Connecting the dots the way they did at the end was bizarre especially the Unser actions, that was kind of stupid. Also not certain what Juices' motives were there or how Jax would allow him to have such a role. The Oakland/Stockton stuff looks like it will be good. The show really has not recovered from Opie's death, that was a bad move that proved nothing in the grand scheme of things except to eliminate one of the best characters on the show. The show has really become the life of Jax and is more of a soap opera. Losing all of the interesting characters (the finale, Clay, Opie) and then not replacing them with anything worth watching has really hurt the show. What are you specifically talking about?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 09:15 AM) You can be stern with her, but if she isn't going to go to the gym, she's not going to go to the gym. Yeah I know it's people's right to do what they want. I'm really starting to lose interest in her. I know, I know I'm shallow but we like what we like.

Yeah I'm really trying not to be a dick. I'm trying to lead by example, hit the gym, eat right, etc... My friggin' gf will not go the f***ing gym. Arggggghhh! I need to push the envelope but this is a delicate topic. Any suggestions?

An extremely sad SoA finale. Was that season or series?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 12:19 PM) Both of those guys are gonna get paid big time. That's what you want to happen.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 11:44 AM) .400 OBP is not a realistic goal for him. In the minors there is enough bad pitching that you can get a big OBP just by being patient and not swinging at bad pitches, but in the majors you have to have some serious power to get walked enough to have a .400 OBP. I looked it up, and in the last ten years, the three lowest SLG totals for a hitter who had a .400+ OBP season are Nick Johnson .405, and Joe Mauer .446 and .451. I don't see Eaton ever slugging .446 or better in the majors, so there is one case in the last ten years of somebody hitting .400 OBP with a SLG that Eaton can reasonably attain. Not faulting the kid for having goals, but it ain't happenin'. You are a such a buzzkill.

I am running an 8K on Sunday. What are the chances it'll get cancelled?

De Aza is a left handed bat. I'm not sure why people are so quick to axe him. He can be the fourth OF or PH.

Santiago follows most people who follow him on twitter and interacts with fans.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) It's reeeeeeeally a struggle. I bet this was assigned to you at the beginning of the semester.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:47 PM) I've been up for 2 hours now to get my final paper done of college, which is now due 2 hours from now, but this damn trade has totally distracted me. How am I supposed to write a beautiful feature story with this looming over my day? HOW!!??!!?!?!? Stop being a procrastinating bum?

Would some of you say Santiago is still raw?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 08:43 AM) Bring back Lovie! Bring back Lovie! (no, not really) You don't think he would take the job?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 04:03 PM) Not sure actually, there's a Target/Jewel off of Howard about a mile or two west as well. Yeah I know about them, I am just trying to find a decent store that is walking distance. I didn't miss my car for longest time but now, I have a feeling I'll need one soon.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 03:34 PM) Morse Fresh grocery is great for meat/produce/deli, right next to the EL as well. However, it's not great for the non-perishables/frozen foods. For those I typically go to Target or Dominicks (there's one on Ridge a mile or two away, not great for walking for you though). Is that one closing though?

I live near Howard station and the freakin Dominicks is closing by me. I just sold my car too so now I have to figure out how I can do my grocery shopping since it's no longer walking distance.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 04:12 PM) Amazing how quickly my grocery store bill adds up. Didn't even get that much. $75 Stop shopping at whole foods.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 4, 2013 -> 03:08 PM) I got into it awhile ago at work with a guy who hunts. I don't get it and asked why he felt the need to kill innocent animals just minding their business. He got to a point where he said I wasn't "manly" enough to get it, blah blah blah. He's pretty simple minded. Just not my gig. I would have told him I'm about to chin check him, proceed to do it, and when he wakes up, I'd say he wasn't manly enough.
