In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

That is just unheard of. You would think he would have experienced some kind of terrible physical consequence (other than obesity) from that alone. I can't even stand the sight of a soft drink, even a diet one. Hell, I don't even drink sweetened tea-I don't like sweet tastes at all.

Occasionally I will drink sweet tea, but the sweetest thing I usually drink is Gatorade. Mostly I drink water.

And your labor was shorter because of it, not to mention a healthier baby (you'd already been exercising them)!

My cousin weighed like 350-400lbs(at only 5'2" or 5'3") a couple years ago. She'd been overweight since she was a toddler. She finally went on that Fit For Life diet and lost LOTS of weight. She looks great now. I have trouble feeling sorry for the man in that article. The only thing I can really bring my self to feel sorry for him over is that he obviously has no one that loves him enough to stop enabling him. Since the government is paying for everything he has anyway, they should send him to a fat camp until he's healthy enough to work and knows how to keep the weight off on his own. I doubt it would cost any more money than they will pay anyway to support him the way he is and to pay for that surgery.

Oh, I see. The thing I like most about Nick Cage is that he doesn't presume anyone cares a fig about his political opinions, so he keeps them to himself.

If you traded the breadcrumbs for pork rinds, it would be way low carb friendly!

I love buffalo.

In Rollins, they used to have a Buffalo BBQ every summer with a potluck and auction.
