According to my nutritionist and doctors, ideally I should weight myself every few days at around the exact same time. That way the weights should be comparable than if I did it at different times of day

Yeah, this is definitely and introspective experience, one that isn't very good because I notice every flaw the main character has and I can easily reflect it back on me. Blech.

The other folks working on the track are smelling a hit and one of them is making a play for royalties. My partner and I find it a bit ridiculous but we're not sure how we're gonna play it. Gotta talk to our lawyer stat.
I guess what I don't understand is why someone would burn bridges and cash out rather than build bridges and buy in. If this goes where we all want it to go, it won't be the end of things.
All kinds of bills are closing in on us and we're barely staying afloat. However the universe keeps providing, it seems to be working with us rather than against us.

So a nightmare scenario came true for my family on Wednesday morning.
I work in St. Louis Mon-Thur, my wife lives and works in Rolla the entire week.
Around 4:30am most mornings, my wife likes to get up early and walk the dogs. Wednesday morning, when she walked past the college campus, a man exited a building and followed her almost all the way home. He approached her and asked her for a kiss and insisted when she told him no.
Thankfully, he left at that point.
However, it rocked me to my core, especially as I was 100 miles away and could do nothing. Further, to be honest, my wife did almost everything wrong in this situation.
She had her headphones in, she walked by campus and student housing, she knew the man was following her and she basically tried to ignore him in hopes he would go away, she let him approach her within a few feet, she wasn't aggressive. It's truly sad that a woman has to be vigilant - but it's a sad reality that it is a necessity.
The other thing that bugged me is that I had had a discussion with my wife on how she needed to act in such a situation and how she needed to be aware when she was walking and how to deal with this kind of thing and she ignored my advice. She's since done a turn-around and says she'll do things differently.
She did call the cops and file a report, but only after she called me and I told her that she needed to do that. So yeah, almost everything she could have done wrong, she did. So I'm just a tad freaked out.
I bought her mace yesterday for walking around with and a .357 magnum for home defense (and we're getting training on it as well). So I feel a bit better now.
We also walked the same route today (I'm in Rolla) and I really, really, really hoped to see the guy. I wasn't going to beat him up.
I was just going to follow him very closely all the way back to his house and ask him for kisses. I'm a big guy and it would have been a lot of fun to *%&$ with him. Unfortunately, he was a no-show.

I'm pretty sure the incident was 'eve teasing' - the guy was Indian. I've heard of it and seen it on TV news reports but never seen it in person. I guess I still haven't seen it in person as I wasn't there.
Anywho, I have a friend who is big in the campus Indian community and he promised to bring it up at their meeting this month as this is the second similar incident he's heard of.

Man that sucks. Also sucks that that guy is Indian and contributing to a new stereotype of Indian guys being misygonist rapists. I've known a lot of Indian guys in my life and most of them were some of the nicest and sweetest people I've known, so it's unfortunate they're getting lumped with these douchebags.

Glad she was unharmed, at least. And you seem to have done the right thing, Hobbs.
Rant: so tired of my suite being Sex Central. Acoustics are such that I can hear most everything in the other rooms, and all of my suitemates seem to have girls over regularly, so that I have to just avoid going to my own dorm. Even my closest friend seems to have no qualms cheating on his girlfriend whenever possible.
I'm seriously considering looking into requesting a room exchange.

Guess hanging out at the girls dorm sounds like a good idea in this case
.Rant on my own: My lower back is killing me. Guess that fencing training yesterday was a bit too much (or rather the "games" beforehand, I think).
