Today's Quote (plus a few extra for the days I've missed this week):

Advice to expectant mothers: you must remember that when you are pregnant, you are eating for two. But you must remember that the other one of you is about the size of a golf ball, so let’s not go overboard with it. I mean, a lot of pregnant women eat as though the other person they’re eating for is Orson Welles.

I've noticed that one thing about parents is that no matter what stage your child is in, the parents who have older children always tell you the next stage is worse.

Calories are little units that measure how good a particular food tastes. Fudge, for example, has a great many calories, whereas celery, which is not really a food at all but a member of the plywood family, provided by Mother Nature so that we would have a way to get onion dip into our mouths at parties, has none.

Stay Fit and Healthy Until You Die

Quote of the Day Jan 19

The way I picture it, adulthood is a big, sleek jungle snake. It swallows you subtly, an inch at a time, so you barely notice the signs: you start reading the labels on things before you eat them; you find yourself listening to talk radio because the hit songs they play on the rock stations (can this really be you thinking this?) all begin to sound the same. Before you know it, your furniture is nice. And suddenly you realize that you'd rather sit around on your furniture and talk about the warning signs of colon cancer than, say, find out what happens when you set one of the milk jugs on fire. And if your kid sets a milk jug on fire, you yell at him "Somebody could get hurt!" and really mean it, from inside the snake.
