our daughter's weight to height (at the 2 month check-up) was an astounding 95%-she is in the 65% for weight but 15th for height...a fatty to be sure.

don't sweat the heavy kid shit. a lotta folks/kids i've encountered had fluctuating weight early in life and became healthy lean adults later on. hell, i was a chubby kid myself 'til i turned 5 or so.

PS: how'd the softball game become shitty? i'm back so be sure to bring A game on rock paper scissors..

Genetics are weird:

My oldest (8 year old girl) is 15% height and 5% weight.

My second (6 year old boy) is 80% height and 50% weight.

My youngest (4 year old girl) is 15% height and 50% weight.

I myself am quite a specimen. 5'5" and a buck 75. Damn near close to maximum human density.

i hammered an IEHR last night which:

-- crossed leroy and set off an SUV's intruder alert system
-- drew noticeable applause from a group of pedestrians

not bragging. (OK bragging). but we were wondering if that was a jimmy walker first (the car alarm)...?

I'm sorry to bust on your new sort-of hero at work , but the workplace is no place for pushups. However, it's nice that you're inspired health-wise by your coworkers.

"The workplace is no place for pushups."

I'm sorry, but I must take issue with this statement. It's that kind of thinking that crushes brilliance, art and progress. And that's all I've got to say about that.

Party On Inspirational Pushup Coworker!

Should I get the new iPud?
Joe | 09.05.07 - 10:00 pm | #

change doctors. that's a ridiculous thing for him/her to tell you. i'd at least call shenanigans and make him back it up. in my experience, a lot of kids put on weight, then get taller and 'stretch out' without gaining, then do it again and again until *at least* 3 or 4. maybe 5.

plus, i was a skinny-ass 2 year old. so the converse is certainly not true.

I now feel like a real Proper Prissy Priscilla for my previous comment. And yet I stand by it. I think the baby measurements are interesting. They really don't predict much, if my brother is any indication. My grandfather pinched his cheeks when he was a baby and told my mom to be careful that he didn't get too fat. 14 years later, my brother was drinking weight-gaining shakes.

PepsiCo announced Friday it is launching new non-carbonated beverages and strengthening its distribution system, as part of its 15-year "total beverage company" strategy. The new beverages include a low-calorie version of Gatorade called G2 and a caffeinated version of Propel enhanced water. G2 is designed to meet the hydration needs of athletes off the field, on a 24/7 basis, according to a PepsiCo press release.

Good reading. I found the Darko FIBA ref tirade translation:

Reporter: Darko, first impressions?

Darko: All right, but let's do it over there.

Reporter: Darko Milicic, congratulations despite the loss. First impressions?

Darko: Nothing, these three big [expletive]heads, these two ... three [expletive for lady parts] have cheated us, that's what happened. This [expletive for lady part], these three [expletive]heads think they are something. I will go and [expletive] their mothers' [expletive for lady parts]--all three of them, that's what I'm gonna [inaudible] ... [expletive for lady parts] all three of them, I'm gonna [expletive] his Italian mother in her [expletive for lady parts], man, that's what I want to say...


Reporter: Darko, calm down a little bit. Your impressions of the game?

Darko: He's a [expletive]head, he should [expletive] my [expletive for man parts], go on ... write that, man ... all three of them, the first one and the second one and the third one ... I don't give a [expletive] about this, that's what I want to say.

Reporter: [inaudible]

Darko: [Expletive for lady parts] ... they don't call anything...he [expletive] in his pants ... I will [expletive] his mother in the mouth, man ... if he has a daughter, I will also [expletive] his daughter.

Reporter: [inaudible]

Darko: [inaudible] ... we are fighting here, I died ... I need an infusion, do you understand...and they cheat us like [expletive for waste]...

Never, ever have I been more proud to say FREE DARKO than I am right now.
