Good luck Bob! It's important to set realistic goals and not beat yourself up for little relapses. If you're looking for a nerdy way to try to lose weight, take a look at the Line Diet (http://www.thelinediet.com), which a bunch of bloggers have done...

I like your Christmas letter. I usually get one from my brother but not this year. You don't want to know the reason; just say he's busy with family matters. I went to see lots of the Christmas lights - Murdoch St. in St. Louis Hills was spectacular! Put on your best music and feel better, june s.

My dad worked for oil companies for 25 years. He says that basically all gasoline in STL, no matter the brand on the sign, is Shell, because that's the nearest refinery to STL.

In bad taste, but funny.

The first year I lived in STL, I found traffic-report references to "the depressed section" hysterically funny. I would always think, "oh, those poor people, why don't they just move somewhere less depressing?" :-D

I like the Olympics too. :)

Ugh, my mother-in-law also loves that shit.

I love sneaking it into the garbage and/or into the Goodwill donation pile. If by "love" I mean "am resigned to". :-/

Ah, the fake smile when peeling back the wrapping paper....

Did I mention that MIL is constantly begging for money? WELL, MAYBE IF SHE'D STAY OUT OF THE GODDAMN HALLMARK STORE! *ahem*

Merry Xmas!

I'm glad you didn't mention her name. The mere sight of the name of She-Who-Won't-Be-Named can set me on edge all day long.

In any case, you are right. About all of it.

Ironically, there is an ad at the bottom (thanks, Google) for plastic bags on a roll. Google ads mocks you, Bob.

2009-07-28T15:56:28.784-07:00

bob, you are absolutely right. we use the reusable bags for all of our purchases possible. when we forget, we also instruct the workers to load the bags with items together. we have even gone so far, lately, to take the bags from the recycle bin at walmart to use as packing stuffing and then will recycle them when we are done. why can't more people have an attitude of good earthly stewardship?

2009-07-28T00:12:05.780-07:00

Ah, but you see, a SUV is surely necessary at her place because all the plastic bags littering the driveway around her house get extremely slippery when wet.

Ha.

2009-07-27T07:20:56.816-07:00

Okay, I see the case for a bag, Jochen. Maybe bagging your milk is acceptable if you're using public transportation. But as I left Target that night, I walked past the lady who was in front of me in line. She had one of the closest parking spots to the door, and she was loading her stuff into a big old SUV. I kid you not.

2009-07-27T07:04:16.577-07:00

Okay, under certain circumstances, it does make sense to bag a gallon of milk:

When I went for groceries in the US (am living in Germany but was there - the US - for a year recently) I had to walk 500 yards to the bus stop, ride the bus for 20 minutes and then walk 300 yards from the bus stop to the mall.
There I would buy roughly 50 to 60 pounds (yes, I once weighed the bags) of food, carry it through the mall 300 yards to the bus stop and so forth all the way to the place I called home.
In order to be able to carry all that food I had to use quite a few plastic bags (you just don't want one to rip open on a bus) and thus I also had to put the gallon of milk in a plastic bag because you just can't hold on to a broad milk-handle while also carrying 10 plastic bags in the same hand.

So there you have it: no complete ban, but a reasonable rant is justified!
