I quit smoking about the same time as I went on a steroid based asthma medication.  I put on about 35 pounds in 3 or 4 months.

After I got off the asthma meds, I managed to lose all of it but 10 pounds or so.

I'm still carrying that around, 7 years later.  I blame quitting smoking for that part of it.

I blame Bush. He's behind it, somehow.

That's one angle.  I suppose I could blame Microsoft, just to be different.

I'm so happy that school is starting for me again. In addition to a 60 hour workweek, I get to pile up 12 units of night classes as well. DRINKS ALL AROUND!

That's some funny stuff there.  :lol:

So last weekend, I went and met an old coworker of mine that I haven't seen in over three years.
Xolik - "Wow, Ting Ting, you look great! I mean, really, really great. You're totally ripped! What the hell happened?"
Ting Ting - "I got lasik done and go workout five times a week. Wow, Xolik, you look....you look....riiiiiight." /drevil
Xolik - "Like a guy that life has repeatedly kicked the crap out of?"
Ting Ting - "Your words, not mine."
