The Lounge Movie suggestions? Nov 06 2009

I don't know who you have for the streaming, but if they have it, and you have the time (very long movie) storm of the century by stephen king.

Or if they don't, how about every which way but loose (I am streaming it now) Cool

PS.

Has anyone bought the Roku to stream the movies on your TV? I have been thinking about getting one so I can watch it on the 42" screen instead of 15" computer monitor.

HECK NO! I live for the stuff. Turkey, mashed taters, stuffing, white buns, cranberry sauce are way better than what most restaurants serve!

Give me my meat and potatos any day, and I am a happy man Tongue out

Great topic!

I actually listen to music when I swim. I have the Finis Swimp3, which is awesome! You attach it to your goggles and it sits near your cheekbones and you can listen to your favorite music that keeps you motivated. Great investment!

Oh, that looks sweet! Maybe after I hit my midway goal. It would be so much easier if I had music, even more so when a upbeat song comes on Cool

Hopefully they would give me a couple of hours to fit it in.....

Start with meatloaff, mashed potatoes, cornbread, 1919 rootbeer

then bbq babyback ribs, texas toast, IBC rootbeer

THEN, a nice pair of jucy cheeseburgers, one mushroom/swiss, the other bacon sharp chedar, slice of pecan pie, A&W rootbeer float........

I think when the time came to fry me, it would all be barfed up, but that would not be my problem to clean up then, would it Tongue out

There is a new apple out called Honey Crisp-- Best apple I have ever have. Crispy and not to sweet. I haven't had a mealy one yet. They are hard to find, but if you find one try it!

They are common here, maybe that is because our state university came up with the hybrid apple. To me it almost is as good as candy it is so sweet. Wish they were cheaper though Undecided

I swim daily, and my mind wonders a lot! If I need to keep track of laps (no lap counter) it goes from laps, to cars, to women, to breathing, to what else I need to do today, do I want to play basketball afterwards, to what is that on the bottom of the pool, to, to, to.......

Sorry, it really varies a lot. I need one of the swimming lap counters though, as I tend to have to swim extra laps because I can't be 100% sure if my count is accurate, and don't want to short myself (100 mile goal).

I just did my first 5k in over two years. It took me 36 minutes (5mph) and felt a little down as I used to be able to do it in around 30-33 minutes.

Good time is just finishing as I have friends who can do it in twenty minutes without much dificulty, and there is no way I am getting to that point......

I wish there were an area on here just for men. Most of the topics seem to be more relative to the majority (women), and do not apply to men like me seeking out help/advice/inspiration.

 

How many women on here have complained about loosing there boobies with there weight? I am in the other boat and would celebrate the disappearance of my moobs Foot in mouth

 

Oh, yeah, another male checking in....

I want to be desireable. I am already married, but it still feels good when members of the opposite sex check you out, nice boost to a small ego.

I have been able to increase my lifts while losing weight, but the muscle does not seem to grow. From what I have been able to find, your muscle may not grow in size, instead it becomes more efficent.

But this is coming from a casual lifter, so take it for what it is worth.

Mine is simple but good, but is more of a smoothy. I take one scoop of powder (chocolate or vanilla), one cup of skim milk, one medium banana, 6-7 ice cubes and blend it.

31 grams of protein
310 calories
and very yummy!

I am just starting my stretches and excercises on this brochure

http://www.permanente.net/homepage/kaiser/pdf /6946.pdf

I went to the orthopedic doctor, and he said I have PF (patellofemoral) syndrome, and surgury will not generally help and that I needed to go to physical therapy, at a minimum once to know what exercises to do to help strengthen my quads.

Apparently the pain is caused by the bad tracking of the kneed cap (patella) and can be caused by weak or imbalanced muscles causeing the stronger outer quad to pull the kneed cap out of the grove. It seems most if not all exercises focus on strenghening the inner thigh (aka vmo). From the research I have done on the net, the VMO's main purpose is to stabalise the kneed cap.

I sure hope it helps as I get pain going down stairs, and general discomfort from sitting so long at work (desk job) and the muscles around my knee will get tight, and hope the stretching will help solve that issue.

sorry for the ramble, but hopefully this will help both of us.

Oh, man, there are so many people are listing that I forgot. There really are some real winners. Princess Bride is great! I LOVE that movie. I have not seen uncle buck, but if John Candy was in it, I am sure I would love it. I really liked him.

Tommy boy, spaceballs, cats and dogs, underworld, the list can go on, and on, and on....

officespace is pretty good too ;0) "I sentice you to ten years in a pound you in the --- prison"

Comedies are my favorite, but sci-fi is a close second.

Nutty professor, Dr. Doolittle, Beverly Hills Cop, Trading places..... Eddie Murphy is another great, so is Dan Akroyd (spelling?)

Oh, oh....... CADYSHACK!

Eh, it happens to us all. I find it only happens when I am bored, like at work, where I seem to spend my whole life........

But when I am busy or having fun, I rarely think about food. Maybe you need to find something to keep you busy.

Oh, and I find I think about food a lot more when I visit this site, so that might be contributing too.

Why at gun shows? I have bought a few at gun shows and had to fill out the same forms and background check as I did at gun stores? I think it is funny that the media still think buying at gun shows is how the crooks still get there weapons. Most are stolen from homes/cars or bought by a crooked person who does pass the background check and sell it to someone they know should not have one. Now I could be wrong, but that is how it is in MN.

If a person wants to kill people, they will find a way to do it. If the VT shooter was not allowed to have a gun, what was to stop him from going in to school with a milk jug filled with ------- nevermind, better not to give other people off there rockers a way to kill large groups of people. Lets just say the gun is not the problem, it is the person.

Heck, how many people have been purposly run down with a car? We better ban cars next, right? Lets all just take the bus then until some syhco takes over a bus and drives if off a bridge. Then lets ban buses and only use horse and cariage (would be cool except during the winter!), ect.

You guys/gals will not know this place since it is only in St. Paul, MN, but Porkeys has the greatest fish sandwich. Real flaked fish fellet instead of that chopped minced stuff mcD and Booger king sell. You get it with an onion ring on top (all burgers/sandwiches get one on top of the bun), fries and cole slaw with it, I also get a twin burger (basically a twin cheese burger) and they sometimes throw in a fresh cooked chocolate chip cookie, still warm. Oh man..... now you made me want to go get one. I have not had one for about a year or so.......

Mmmmmm........ Maybe saturday......... Yummy.....
