Like▼Day 4 of eating better food. I have had to add and remove certain things from my diet due to health issues and so far it is going well. I am not eating 100% healthy, but the things I do eat are prepared healthier. Like a hamburger is cooked on a George Foreman grill so that there is less fat and I am eating it with more fruits and vegatables. In the mornings I am no longer eating eggs, bacon, or...Expand this post »
Jermaine Maree - No bacon?!? :D
Eat oatmeal w/ fruit instead of cereal. Add a lil brown sugar (not that kinda brown sugar) if you have a sweet tooth. Substitute half of your Gatorade w/ water. Yeah it has no flavor, so what, get use to it!
Other than that I commend you and keep up the great work!Mar 9

Peter Manis - Don't tell me what kind of brown sugar I can add!!!! :p
I have a ton of oatmeal at home I need to go through, it is on my list of health todos. I plan on moving to just water with gatorade being my once a day, but first I need to get myself away from the caffeine and the bubbles :pMar 9

Chris Schrier - I think the water switch will be a big help. Iirc, gatorade has a lot more sodium and carbohydrates than you need for normal consumption.Mar 9
Peter Manis - Yeah, my biggest problem with switching to water is just getting in the habit. I used to use 0 calorie flavor packets with water, but after getting into soda not having the caffeine and sugar gets to me after a while, I am trying to drop the caffeine first then I'll move off gatorade to flavored water.Mar 9
Ken Wehr - I would give you some nutrition advice, but I'm a fat guy so it would be mostly just ironic.Mar 9

Like▼Just got back from Crate and Barrel, damn that store. I just bought an 8 piece Wusthof Classic knife set, and a sofa. I found it odd that it was more difficult for me to pull the trigger on the sofa than it would have been buying a computer that costs twice as much.
My new sofa, 93" of comfy goodness (46" deep :-) I'm not a huge fan of brown, but I felt that black would look odd in the apartment and this will match funiture.

I almost bought the Ikon, but I have smaller hands and they didn't feel right with the more ergonomic handles.

Peter Manis - Yeah I didn't have a good set of knives, but the knives shouldn't have to be replaced ever, and the sofa should last a long time.Mar 8

Like▼Ugg, I am thinking about buying a sofa and a nice media console for the TV and such. Unfortunately the things I want are from Crate & Barrel so of course it is $$$. They would be good quality, and used on a regular basis, its just more money to spend.

Chris Schrier - Sadly many people are saying the opposite, that they will ONLY read shared items from buzz.Mar 4
Peter Manis - The only real problem I have with it is that there is no real order. If I don't like the items someone usually shares I can't avoid that person's shared items without unfollowing them. I also find it a bit overwhelming to read buzz and see 12 posts in a row from people who shared stuff on reader.
Maybe I just need to adjust, but there really needs to be something on my side to control what I see from who.Mar 4

Peter Manis - It is very possible I will get used to it and start doing it myself, when I posted this I opened buzz and was flooded with stuff I would have read this weekend on reader.Mar 4
Chris Schrier - Personally I had to limit how much I was sharing in Reader so I wouldn't overwhelm others in Buzz. I still read people's shared items in reader too.Mar 4

Like▼Sleeping through my alarm when I took a nap this afternoon kinda screwed up my sleep schedule. Next weekend is gonna be crazy cause I'm going to do a mass organization of the apartment. I need to get rid of some of these electronics I don't use along with old stuff that isn't touched. I also need to do a sweep of my paperwork I have sitting in boxes.
I moved some stuff into the 2nd room until the weekend and it was so much nicer having extra room at the entrance, I think going through everything this weekend is going to result in a nice pile of stuff to sell.

Like▼For years I've put off getting a good set of luggage. I just ordered some of the Eagle Creek HC2 Duffle pieces along with some of their Pack-It accessories.
Bergman Luggage, the place I purchased it from, had pretty standard prices, but they did free shipping and there was a coupon for 15% off so overall it was a good deal.

Trevor Sehrer - Nice looking bag! I'm planning a trip, too. No real deals, save for the occasional promo code that I can find online. However, the rental car company I'm using is charging me $50 less when I book my rental for an extra 2 days. I'm a bit confused, but I'm happy for the deal.Mar 1

Peter Manis - I just signed up for the Delta dining rewards to earn miles that way, right now if you spend $25 at a participating restaurant they will give you the points for the restaurant plus another 1000 miles. I know you are also a Delta fan so if you haven't signed up it'd be a good chance to get some miles.Mar 1
Trevor Sehrer - Cool, thanks for the tip! I just made it through the marathon sign-up form and added 2 cards.Mar 1
Peter Manis - I have another good idea about getting extra miles I'll run by you tomorrow.Mar 1

Like▼Maybe someone following me can answer this question or put me in touch with a dean/professor that might know more.
I recently heard that a Dean can make an exception to allow a student to take graduate courses and get a masters degree without having a bachelors degree. In talking to a few people they seem to understand the same would be possible, but if anyone has more information or knows someone I can talk to I'd appreciate it.
