My wife is having the same problem Re: her recently completed Paralegal Associates of Applied Science. Despite a Paralegal Associates and 10-15 years experience as an Administrative Assistant/Office Manager, if she wants to do paralegal stuff, she;s going to have to take a step back and start as an office assistant of legal office receptionist. And leave an office admin job for a small drywall and paint company that's actually pretty good in terms of job security and working environment. We both want her to eventually make more money, but she's pretty happy with her current job. I don't really want her to leave a job that's working for her so well(they're a family owned business, great folks, small office, no politics), but: Student Loans. And she does want to move into something a little more rewarding/challenging. Also, thank you May thread for new musical choices. edit: sonofabitch - Pandora doesn't have Laserhawk in their database!

bandman posted:It just boggles my mind that nobody at Mazda has fixed it. I gather that it has been this way for quite some time, so you'd think that somebody would have done something about it by now, but Mazda doesn't seem to mind me and other enthusiasts sharing service manuals online, provided we don't charge for it. All of my stuff is early rotaries through '96 RX-7, though.

. Maybe this is Mazda's secret way of being more enthusiast-friendly, by providing all of the service information in a *winkwink nudgenudge* kind of way.

Cat Terrist posted:How about 45? Old? gently caress no 44 here, so you got me beat. I turn 45 in September, woo! Fortunately, decent genetics mean I don't really look as old as I am, especially if I shave my beard. My dad doesn't look like he's 66, either, so I guess it came from his side. Here, I'm at the upper end. On the Oldsmobile email list I occasionally participate in (slacking, recently) I'm middle-to-young. Lots of good old knowledge there, but mixed in with some old wives tales, too. Rhyno posted:I've been on this fitness quest for 70 days now and let me tell you, it's amazing to feel better at 35 than I did at 25. I've lost 20 loving pounds, sleep like a baby and have energy all day. That's something I really need to do. I'm about 65 pound (or more) overweight, have no energy, and don't rest well when I sleep. It's a problem of inertia: getting started is a bitch. Don't want to exercise because I'm tired; tired because I don't exercise... A Melted Tarp posted:My brother is building a very, VERY sick project Camaro. It started life as a very boring base model '80 305ci automatic, and will now be wearing a somewhat mild 327 and a Muncie 4-speed. Most of the suspension has been upgraded, complete with subframe reinforcements for use on track days and for autocross. American Racing Torq-Thrust IIs are the go-to for classic-looking wheels in larger sizes. I've got a set of 19x8s on my '70 Cutlass, and they look boss. Cragar also makes the old SS in larger sizes now.

Rhyno posted:Do you drink a lot of beer, pop and eat fried and fast food? A few beers/ciders a week (3-6), soda once or twice a week, and usually sugar-free, probably too much fried and fast food, though way less than, say 10 years ago. I think my main problem is the weight already gained previously, and little exercise. I'm not gaining anything, but I'm not losing much if any either. I do tend to eat more than one serving of stuff that tastes good. That's something I need to moderate badly. So more how much I eat rather than what, really. I'm one of those people that just really likes the taste of food. Unfortunately, what I tend to like is good old Southern cooking, Italian, German and Mexican stuff.

From, like a hundred pages back (drat you guys are post-happy.) Rhyno posted:Diet change and portion control is why 73 days later I'm down 20 pounds. You need to get rid of the beer and pop altogether, you'll melt pounds off so fast you'll think you have cancer. Switch to just liquor if you need booze in your life. Eh, I'm trying. Portion control is where I really need work. Most days I actually eat a salad (that I made) for lunch. Only a small handful of ham and a small handful of cheese to ruin the veggie-ness, plus Zesty Italian (not creamy.) A lot of weeks I don't drink any cider or beer. Some (not many) weeks I have one a day. Lately I've been going for the cider (is it better, worse, or about the same as beer, diet-wise?) Roger on the soda. I need to watch the sugar anyway, thanks to mild diabetes. Losing weight should help that. The tough part will be eating somewhat healthy while my wife doesn't. Haven't had any luck convincing her to eat better - she claims she doesn't like veggies, for one. Couple this with the fact that I hate wasting food by letting it go bad, and... mariooncrack posted:You just have to start small and work your way up. First off, how much water are you drinking a day? If you're not drinking any or not that much, go out of your way to drink an extra glass than you do a day and build yourself up. This will probably cut some calories out. I don't think I need to tell you if you cut back more on your alcohol consumption that'll also cut more calories. I'm trying. I am trying to drink plenty of water. The wife is, at least, renewing our membership to the city rec center. They've recently remodeled and have some decent workout equipment and a really nice pool. Pools, I should say - indoor and out. Cheap at $160/year per family. I'm just going to have to make myself go after work. Load up some shows on the iPad/Netflix, etc.

InitialDave posted:You're trying to lose weight, and you're eating Scottish food? Fortunately, the only time I see them is at the annual Renaissance Faire. The day I go, I plan on bad eating. I practically starve myself the previous day. I mean, Scottish Eggs, Mead, Steak On A Stake, Mead, Turkey Legs, Pretzels, Mead, Cider, Bratwust, etc. Yum! KozmoNaut posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOX5Q4wg26U Dear God, the deep-fried pork sausage kebab sound delicious. And deadly. Kind of like Texas State Fair food. Fried everything! Fried Nutter-Butters for fucks sake!
