Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

I saw PC starting to reply to the thread he was recently mentioned in.

Now I am gripped to that thread waiting for a response to pop up :laughing:

I’m hoping to see a list of users who are clown dicks getting called out lol

Haha, crossing my fingers for that to happen.

But seriously I have no problem with PC. He’s a funny guy. I think I just don’t take anyone in this industry seriously enough to really get affected in any way. We have very similar training styles (the lower volume stuff) too.

But, hey, ā€œclown dickā€ is gold, Jerry! Gold!

So what does typing that do to your news feed? :rofl:

I think there might actually be something to the neck cracking. Could be placebo though, but a VERY strong placebo.
I woke up feeling groggy, sore and slightly sick. Gave my neck a good crack and immediately felt a LOT better- at least able to get out of bed without stumbling

I meet with my research advisor tomorrow. I’m honestly more nervous about this meeting than I was about my finals
I spent 2hrs going over the survey with my friend (a different one) to check for typos but still can’t be sure. Caught 10 :scream:

Honestly, idk why my advisor agreed to work with me in the first place. My first attempts to contact him were full of embarrassing typos, including several emails where I forgot to add a subject line. He should have figured something out…

Also, I’m kind of regretting running for secretary of the Econ research club. It’s not much work, but I have a feeling that a lot of the members think I’m an annoying prick.

Guess I’m soon going to find out. :joy:

I really hope Jared Leto hasn’t posted any nude pics online.

Doesn’t Word and other open source document creation programs have spell check, formatting, and all of these other ā€œproblemsā€ solved automatically?

I used that for all of my school documents and never had any of these problems.

I confess that the strongman soft belt is the girdle of strength athletes

Cinch it up tight and you can just be jacked.

This isn’t so much a confession as a ā€œbe meā€ thing, but seriously now…be me here.

I eat 4 whole eggs a day: 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening.

This means, in a week, I need 28 eggs.

I buy 3 dozen eggs, because they don’t sell 28 packs. This SHOULD mean that I have MORE than enough eggs to get me through the week…except…

My wife opens the fridge, sees 36 eggs and thinks ā€œWhen did we get so many eggs?! They’re going to spoil! I need to start baking!ā€

EXCEPT…my wife will eat 1 cookie/baked good a day, before she goes for a run. My kid will have 1-2 cookies a day, packed in their lunch. I have not had one of my wife’s cookies since 2012. This means that the majority of what she bakes is brought into my work, for my co-workers to enjoy.

EXCEPT, because I am yuppie trash, I buy ā€œthe GOOD eggsā€: organic, free range, omega 3. They are high quality…and not terribly cheap.

Which means I get to watch my co-workers eat all my good eggs…while meanwhile I STILL need to make a middle of the week run for more eggs.

I’ve tried to circumvent this buy buying FOUR dozen eggs, so that enough eggs survive the baking rush that I have enough to get me through the week…but the site of 4 dozen eggs in the fridge causes larger panic, which results in more baking.

…do I need to have a hidden egg fridge?

Micro egg-onomics can be difficult.

I get like two dozen at a time, which inspires the same panic.

Then me and the wife sat down for a little walk through the math.

I have 2 eggs per sammich twice per week, she has 1 per bagel a couple times a week, kiddo has 2 scrambled twice a week. The rest go into pancakes on the weekend.

No need to panic. They keep for weeks so its just easier to buy a couple dozen, even 3, on occasion eather than every week.

This is the same women that saw me through Building the Monolith, where I was eating a dozen a day and we’d buy 7 at the start of every week…

…but maybe she’s baking them to keep me from doing that again.

Thats kinda why I think it speaks to some deeper level response like panic. Intellectually they know that these egg quantities are insignificant, but somewhere further down something is telling them ā€œHurry up and bake with those before they go bad!ā€.

And this is two different women, presumably of significantly different age and geographic origin.

I think this calls for a consult from @EmilyQ .

She knows lots of woman stuff. :+1:

…in lieu of a beer fridge and a beer belly. The former is the smarter option sir.

I back (edit - Bake not back…) my eggs into my vege slice early in the week (usually sunday night) so most of the eggs are used early. But just a dozen into a 6 portion slice here fwiw.

Maybe we’ll be onto something getting folks to switch over to an egg fridge. ā€œEggs for beerā€ could be the easiest 1 for 1 swap for near instant results.

And man, I’ll eat eggs just about any which way but cannot stand cold hard boiled eggs. Fresh cooked, sure, gobble them up, but premaking a batch and then trying to down them, I’ve about choked SO many times because I’m just trying to force them down.

Completely unrelated, but my phone bought ā€œ40 years with a whistleā€ by Dan John when I was on a weighted vest walk and it was bouncing around in my pocket. It was a good read, but how about THIS for some ā€œshots firedā€

Seven dozen eggs a week must have caused some kind of gas leak…

Never had issues with eggs. Fruits tear up my guts as do certain veggies, but meat, eggs and dairy have never caused issues.

I think about the only thing keeping me from one of those carnivore style diets is having a kid that I try to model ā€œhealthy eatingā€ for, haha.

Qualtrics doesn’t and the typos aren’t necessarily grammatical
