How Lazy Can You Get?

So I was at work yesterday and this other employee C.H. who happens to be very overweight was leaving at the same time I was getting into my patrol car to make rounds….She called out to me “Hey someone dropped their banana” and I responded “So?” at which point she asked me what she should do with it and I told her to throw it away. Being that there was a trash can standing 20 feet or less from her it seemed like a reasonable thing to say. But did she waddle over and throw it away? Nope she tossed it into the road, got in her car, and drove away. At this point I was wishing I was a police officer and not a security officer cause I am sure there is something I could have given her a ticket for. Anyway I ended up throwing the stupid banana in the trash and going about my business. All the while I was wondering at what point do you get so fat that you realize you need to do something about it? Yeah I am a touch over weight, but hell I have had seven children so I think I am entitled to an  extra 15-20 pounds but I can still run and catch the bad guys when I have too. i do not understand how people can be over weight by hundreds of pounds and not notice.

A Lack of Quality Social Networks

Hello everyone, this is my first post and I would like to discuss the lack of quality online social networks. I am on FaceBook but I find it immature at best and there are no serious discussions taking place. I even searched for book discussion groups and was totally amazed at the limited choices. I don’t know maybe I am just to old for social networks or too serious or something. They are fun but they have nothing to contribute in an intellectual way. so if you know of a social networking site that actually has real discussions about really issues and topics please let me know.
