Happy Solstice!
So the world didnt' end yesterday, not in the apocalyptical sense, anyway. I'm glad! I like it here. We spent the evening celebrating the return of the light/end of the world over at a friend's place and had a wonderful time. Because of the munchkins…
12 Days of Fatmas: Elizabeth Patch & More to Love
Dear readers, I have a confession to make; I've been remiss in informing you about a series of special posts happening over at Fierce Fatties! Called "The 12 Days of Fatmas" we've been discussing some great gifts for our fat friends. You should defin…
Obesity Bigger Killer than Malnutrition: Avaaz
For a long time I've been an activist; it began with speeches back in gradeschool and highschool oratory contests and being a member of my highschool's OSAID club (that's Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving). My final year of highschool I did t…
Calories Burned While Parenting: HowtobeaDad.com
Hey folks, it's Monday again. What a weekend, eh? I spent a lot of it focusing on my family; putting up the tree, playing Pathfinder and celebrating the solstice a bit early. Axial tilt is the reason for the season! As we all know, a big part of the …

Too Fat For Public Office?
Again, via MSNBC, I caught this story on an interview with New Jersey govenor Chris Chrisie where he's repeatedly asked about his weight and potentially running for president in 2016. You may remember that the north east coast of the US just got it's…

Sinfest and Expectations
Sinfest is a comic I follow faithfully. I love it so much because of the way the author has evolved over the last couple of years, moving away from simple throwaway stories and tits and ass into characters that are deep, multifaceted and real, not to…

I'm Going To Lose 20lbs, Mom!
Gabe has started noticing diet and exercise commercials on TV, gods help me. Last night it was during Bugs Bunny--Herbal Magic showing the glorious after photos of a slew of Canadians who had lost 15, 20, 35 pounds! following their use of the plan, a…
Post-Pregnancy Surprise
Oh body, you confuse me so sometimes. It's been 6 years since I was last in the post-pregnancy, recovering from surgery phase of things, so when my hair started falling out I was a bit freaked (and grossed out. Yuck.) And I mean falling out-handfuls…
