it's the price one pays to not have to deal with:
a) hurricanes,
b) the CA real estate market,
c) desert isolation, and
d) texans.

a fair trade-off, methinks.

My rent for a bigger place in San Francisco is less than my rent was in DC.

You know by renting you're throwing away good money, right?

That's because you're *renting*. Try buying a place in SF and compare that to buying the equivalent in DC or the DC metro area. It's much worse in CA than it is here in terms of the inflation of property values.

I am aware, but buying short term (less than 4 years) in this market is worse.

That makes sense. The positive way you carry on about your current life, I figured you're there for good.

If it were up to me, I would, but alas, it's not up to me. The hospital match is coming up soon, so my future is subject to a lottery of sorts.

i suggest getting walking pneumonia, where you cough up blood for a week or so. that diet works great. i went from 230 to 204 in two weeks. <img src="http://www.sternfannetwork.com/forum/images/smilies/Animations/puke.gif" alt=" - " />

Why can't I get a cool sickness like this? Lucky.

His illness helped him lose 26 pounds. My eye didn't aid me in any weightloss.

If I could lose 26 pounds just be enduring walking pneumonia, I'd jump all over that.

to avoid joining miss p and sweetcell at the post-holiday jenny craig classes, i'm cutting caloric intake to 700 cals or less for each of two days out of the next three in anticipation of the gorging.

I thought you…ummmm….played for the other team. 230?!?! How tall are you?

"Oh, I'm sorry, did my pin get in the way of your ass? Do me a favor and lose five pounds immediately or get out of my building like now!"

I plan on losing some of the excess Christmas/New Year's/Pennsylvania Redneck weight by training for this.

However, there's a real possibility of a Feburary 25th headline:

"Nostalgia-hating Fall Out Boy fan dies of massive heart attack on third floor of Mellon Bank Center."

Everyone asks this. For the record: no, it affected both eyes.

happy 2008 everyone! i'm joining miss p at the gym!

i asked for a juicer for christmas which facilitates the weight loss when used in accordance with a raw vegan diet. today i've drank:
1 carrot
1 orange
4 tangerines
2 apples
1 beet
half a cucumber
half a honeydew melon
i also had a banana and half an avocado, because hey, i need a little fiber and potassium. i wish i could believe that i'd keep this kind of thing up but after drinking my dinner, i just felt sick.
