The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[conky]

That's where I think the two lines of thought might dove tail.

You just sparked another important question for me though, is it possible to fry gravy?

I don't know but one time a buddy of mine deep fried a pizza.

EDIT: Congrats on the new baby!!!

This is something I need to try...

Just don't do it drunk. He did it one night after a wild party involving a shit ton of alcohol, a slip n slide in the living room and down the hallway, and puking in a walmart checkout and caught half of his kitchen on fire. The next morning his truck was in the ditch next to the driveway and his front door was kicked in. He doesn't remember any of it.

Ahhh, the good ol days.

[t-rey]

I fucking NEED some deep fried pizza in my life.

[AxAxSxS]

hey ya'll! Baby girl! born at home! tentative name is Freya! everyone is healthy (and sleeping whilst i drink the baby imperial stout we made!)

Welcome Freya! To this wonderful crazy world. Don't grow up to fast and have some deep fried Pizza along the way.

Am I going to spam Ogre vids because they're opening for Dino Jr tonight?

Not even a question, really.

I really don't feel economic has as huge of an impact on obesity. Sure it's a factor but when some people state that it's usually as an excuse. It's on the individual. Hell i got in shape and I didn't eat better, I easily ate fast food and cheap bullshit and just worked out and lost weight and gained muscle. It's about dedicated the time to do so or at least in my experience it is. I only started eating better as in just cut out all the garbage later on. Still eat on the cheap but you can still eat healthy on that cheap.

Sorry it just all sounds like excuses to me otherwise.

[D.o.S.]

economic realities may also limit an individual's time they can dedicate to working out, especially if they have kids or work more than one job.

That's awesome! What is she studying in grad school?

Also, I love the idea of multiple people sitting in at various times. It would be rad to catch different versions of the same song at different shows. I couldn't tell that you messed up the song at all, though.

Question for you guys with bigcartel storefronts (or I guess etsy, or bandcamp, or anything else like that)...do you complete the paypal tax information stuff for deductions, or do you just square up at the end of the year (aka not report that income to the good ole IR of S)?

She's looking into the underlying causation of the obesity epidemic. She would not phrase it that way, but that's what I am getting out of it. She's taking it beyond eat better/exercise more and looking at economic and social factors.

We use StoreEnvy, and thus far haven't done the tax stuff because it's been so small. I think I'm going to keep up with it this year, though, and file in part as a musician. Grant from In the Company of Serpents explained some of the logistics and it seems like a good idea. He said (and I think this is coming from his/a CPA) that if you file as a musician, you can write off albums that you buy as job-related research. It also probably depends on whether or not a slight boost to your gross income would bump you into a higher tax bracket.

Also, RE: obesity, Phil (the other guitar/vox guy in Khemmis) and I are both PhD students in sociology, and he focuses on health/life outcomes. He just published a paper that considers context effects on reported life satisfaction and obesity. Neat stuff! - http://www.colorado.edu/news/multimedia ... -one-lives

Sounds interesting, I'd love to see/hear/read her findings. Spinning from my book it's a lack of impulse control, inability to self-soothe, and/or people being unwilling to correct their children that could all lead to obesity. Of course, I don't actually talk about that in the book.

Working Title: Whole Foods is Fucking Expensive, Yo.

As much as I'd like my bullshit theory to hold water, this is a much more viable answer. Eating healthy is fucking expensive and Bojangles (anyone know what that is?) and motherfucking Wendy's taste sooooo good. Combine that with the living-in-the-moment-without-regard-to-the-future mentality that is prevalent in many poor families and you have people who don't care about eating healthy, even if they could afford to do so. And don't even get me started on the South. If it isn't fried and doesn't have gravy on it, I probably don't want shit to do with it.

This is definitely part of it. Access to healthy foods and education about foods, the latter of which we REALLY take for granted, are big as well. Food deserts are increasingly common, and those without their own vehicle are further disadvantaged. See Williams and Lardner "Cold Truths about Class, Race, and Health."

hey ya'll! Baby girl! born at home! tentative name is Freya! everyone is healthy (and sleeping whilst i drink the baby imperial stout we made!)

CONGRATS!

I think your point of view is probably valid for middle class Americans, but it's hard to discount the co-morbidity of obesity, diabetes and malnutrition in communities below the poverty line. There are urban areas where the only places to buy food are a convenience store or fast food chain. It's starting to happen in third world nations too, as populations become more urbanized and industrialized food proliferates. Here in the US it used to be that fast food was a suburban luxury thing and poor people ate whole foods (rice, beans, fish, a few veggies). Now fresh prepared whole foods are for people with money to spend and/or who are health conscious and double bacon western cheeseburgers are cheap as dirt and filled with more calories than most people should eat in a day.

When it comes to people like me and you, who can afford to eat whatever food we want (within reason) and probably have easy access to multiple grocery stores and farmers market, obesity is definitely a different issue. Then it's just down to knowing good choices and being lazy, self soothing with food and all of that. Not the same for everyone though, different communities all across the country can be like different countries, some really varied everyday experiences.

I went to Harbor Freight with a coupon and bought a cheap dirty water pump a couple weeks ago. Planning ahead for that same task.

I love this place. I had no idea that parallels between Travis's book and my wife's work would touch of so much discussion. I am sharing the Khemmis Phil paper with the Wife, thanks for that. she is always looking for research that dovetails with what she is doing.

Today I went by a Wendy's to see about healthy options. A $1.47 gets you a chicken Caesar salad wrap. Pretty tasty and no grease. so there are options. I think nutritional education within the less wealthy demographic also plays a major role. Another thing to consider is if a single parent is working two jobs, will they really want to go shopping and prepare a meal for thier kids when they finally are off from work? especially with a Mcdonalds on every corner? Temptation is a bitch.
Then those kids grow up only knowing that food needs to be unwrapped so you dont bite into the paper, and so on and so on.

[D.o.S.]

That's a good point -- knowing is half the battle, or so GI Joe told me.
