Patrick Says

You know what one of the most detrimental obstacles to not overeating is? Kids.

More specifically, my kids. They have become picky eaters and as a result, when dinner is over, there is a lot of food left on their plates. I grew up pretty poor. I cannot bear to throw food away. It literally pains me. So I’ll sneak a bite or two or three before I clear the plates into the undermount stainless sinks.

I have to watch that. It’s a really easy way to creep more calories into my day than I plan for. It’s a really easy way to wreck my progress toward 200 pounds. But it’s not easy.

H/T to Kim.

Everyone in my Facebook stream seems to be talking about contractual obligations. I guess it’s related to football. I used to love football, but kids killed the time I used to give to watching and picking awesome fantasy football teams.

On a unrelated tangent, I was asked to review a site about Pottery Barn coupons. I’m not going to lie. I have never stepped foot into a Pottery Barn. But, then I’m a dude. But this site looks like it has an extensive selection of Pottery Barn coupons, so if you like pottery, or whatever they sell there, check it out.

H/T to Culture Brats.

If you were on this site yesterday for a six or seven minute period between 5pm and 6pm, you may have noticed this site had some problems. Sorry about that. I was trying to make a modification I’ve wanted to make for awhile and I borked the blog.

See, when I set this blog up years ago, I choose to go with the www on the front, like www.patricksays.net. But nowadays, nearly everybody knows how web addresses work and the www is unnecessary. So I wanted everything to point to patricksays.net instead.

Apparently, I did it wrong. But I was able to quickly get my bearings and fix it within minutes. I guess I’ll have to research this a little more before trying again.
