I am thankful for:
So many other things. Some big, some small, but everything adds up to the life I’ve had so far. The people I know, the things I’ve been fortunate enough to experience (as well as the oppostite of this one), the jobs I’ve been fortunate enough to have. It shouldn’t take a holiday to make us all realize and recognize what we are grateful to have, but many times it does. Here’s to trying to be thankful every day, and to not taking life for granted.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Over the past few decades, portion sizes of everything from muffins to sandwiches have grown considerably. Unfortunately, America’s waistbands have reacted accordingly. In the 1970s, around 47 percent of Americans were overweight or obese; now 66 percent of us are. In addition, the number of just obese people has doubled, from 15 percent of our population to 30 percent.
While increased sizes haven’t been the sole contributor to our obesity epidemic, large quantities of cheap food have distorted our perceptions of what a typical meal is supposed to look like. These portion comparisons, adapted from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) Portion Distortion Quiz, give a visual representation of what sizes used to be compared to what they are today.

That's what she said...
- Michael Scott: We can no longer be friends and when we talk about things here we must only discuss, ah, work associated things, and uh, we can consider this my retirement from comedy and in the future if I want to say something funny or witty or do an impression I will no longer EVER do any of those things.
- Jim Halpert: Does that include "That's what she said?"
- Michael Scott: Mmm hmm yes.
- Jim Halpert: Wow that is really hard, you really think you can go all day long? Well, you always left me satisfied and smiling, so...
