Yeah, you definitely look a little slimmer there. Great job!

I'm ~170, near normal for my height of 6'1". In mid 2004 I was way underweight, as I was only 99 lbs at 5'7"! That was down from 130 the year before that (I think I was 5'4" in mid 2003) because I thought I was overweight at that time, though it really wasn't that bad.

Wow, I used to be like that. I was really underweight in elementary school. Then my weight shot up in middle school, and is now decreasing again. Currently I weigh about 130 lbs and I'm about 5'8".

High school will do that to you. As your body grows and shit, your body metabolizes faster. Be glad it does that now... as you get into your early 20's, the metabolism tends to slow back down and you can gain weight quickly if you're not careful. My metabolism's beginning to slow back down now that I'm 19 because I've gained 15 lbs in the past year, thus I'm no longer underweight for my height.

I used to weigh 130lbs at 5'11 throughout my late high school years, and I'm now at approx 145lbs at 5'11 today (I'm 19.30684931506849315068493150684932 years old atm)

Dude, I'm 23 and my metabolism's so high I couldn't gain a pound for the life of me. 

I'm talking typically... You're obviously not typical j/k

Well, this has been interesting.  The objective?  To record the Final Jeopardy sometime in the next two weeks on the HD/digital signal to get a uber-high quality copy of the R&RJ! Think cue.

The process:
 - fancy desktop tuner, fancy graphics card, uber-fancy monitor, and shitty Windows Vista don't play nice.  Monitor blinks, has seizures, tuner can't tune channels.
 - Bust out the laptop and my Hauppauge 950 USB tuner for only it's second run since buying it in June.  Unscrew the coax cable from the desktop and plug it into my USB tuner (hooked into fancy powerful antenna).
 - USB tuner tunes channels, and picks up two more channels I didn't have before(!!!!).
 - Switch to the small portable antenna that comes with it, and *still* get the channels (normally I'd need the plug-in one.)
 - Head asplodes.

You stole my idea.

But I was going to record it until my tuner locked up.

I can do it, give me a few hours... I get Jeopardy in HD. They do the rock and roll music every teen tournament.

erm... make that like 10 minutes, lol...

oh sweet jesus... I'm going to have to think up a way for PHP to figure out if you're using IE, and if it does, it'll think up something different... if my design wins, I'll work on something for that... I didn't realize it was that bad  Sorry about that.

I'm being a good sport. If my design doesn't win, I'm more than willing to help you get that menu system if you wanna use it -- it's all done with CSS, without javascript.

I HATED the Orthodonist. I had braces from around July 2004 to July 2005. After I got that out of the way, I had to get this HORRIBLE device that alligned my jaw. had that for a year and a half. I guess Im lucky that I got it out of the way, cause now I can laugh at the people in High School who currently have braces.

I got Braces in 6th grade, got them taken off in 10th, they did not work because my teeth started to go back to where they were almost 8 years ago... the retainer that they make you wear for like 9 years after doesn't even fit anymore, so I just gave up and will just get something to fix them when I get some money in the future. my smile's not perfect but I'm ok.

People need to stop taking these week long vacations and get back to work on their normal schedules... As soon as Alexandra returns in January, I hope things get back on track. It's bothering me a lot.

  nice square TWC logo

I honestly think, if they actually do something like that, it does not match the rest of the LF colors at all

I just had a dentist appoitment today...no cavities. I've never stayed up this late on a school night btw.

I used to do 1-2am school nights for the hell of it. I was able to do it, so no complaints

I haven't had an cavities, either, just a bike incident when I was about 10 and broke my front tooth.

I knocked my two front teeth out when I was like 4 or 5 when I fell off the jungle gym...
