If I go to Arby's, I usually get their deli sandwiches - which is probably the healthiest thing that they have.
Not sure if anyone has a Sheetz near them, but their subs are AMAZING. Again, low in fat (I get the chicken on wheat), and they taste awesome!
you must live in Pennsylvania. thats the only place I've ever seen those. http://www.misterspunky.com/faces/tea.gif

^ does it give you the Sheetz?
never heard of it but based on the name i'd be scared
It's never given me the Sheetz, but it did to a friend of mine! 
#243 Re: The Garden » Self Esteem » 919 weeks ago
My self-esteem is pretty low - it's been A LOT worse though.
I mean, I really have no reason for it to be. I have a great, loving girlfriend, a pretty cool job, and run a successful Black Crowes board - great family and friends, etc..
All I can think of is that it goes back to my childhood.
I was always on the heavy side growing up. I literally CRINGE at how huge I was as a kid. Hell, in 8th grade, I had a size 40 waist! I was CONSTANTLY picked on up until high school, when I started losing some weight. But even then, I had a reputation as being unpopular, a teacher's pet, etc. So as you can imagine, I didn't get any dates. I didn't even have my first date until my junior year of high school (With a psycho that one of my female friends from another school hooked me up with), and didn't have my first kiss until my senior year (The girl who I'm with now.) Hell, the girl I'm with has been my ONLY girlfriend. Ever. (Not a bad thing at all, mind you.)
All of that shit majorly fucked with my head growing up, and I was ridiculously depressed at least twice in middle/high school.
I still hate the way I look, I always will, and I still see myself as too fat. (I'm a 34 waist now.) I ideally want to drop another 10 - 15, even 20 pounds, and I have no motivation to do it - because it a) probably wouldn't work anyway and b) if it did, it probably wouldn't stay off, and I'd feel like shit for gaining it back.

Wow - Brody has balls of steel. Did anyone else see this e-mail that he sent out today?
Dear Roses Of Velvet Members,
I just want to first off apologize for the lack of communication and the downtime the site has experienced, You may be confused by another site going by rosesofvelvet.net That site has nothing to do with ROSESOFVELVET and no matter what you hear this is the one and only Roses Of Velvet!
I will be sending another mass email explaining how some opportunistic lowlifes thought they could steal ROV.
Roses Of Velvet Gunners Board will be back online soon.
Thanks and I look forward to seeing you all back at the REAL DEAL ONE AND ONLY ROSESOFVELVET DOT COM
Brody
Yeah - I don't think that I'll be going back there anytime soon. Brody can go fuck himself as far as I'm concerned.
#248 Re: Guns N' Roses » KFRQ plays Baz/Axl song Back in the Saddle » 921 weeks ago
It's alright - doesn't blow my mind though. No fault of Axl's at all though - he sounds great on this.
I'll also wait until I hear a CD-quality version before I pass my final judgment though.

How so? Is it because ultimately they are the ones that don't have all their bases covered and this stuff is getting out?
A few things.
a) CDs are STILL grossly overpriced. Sure, the price on some came down a bit, and I still buy all of my music legally - but I still can't buy nearly as many as I want to due to the price. $14 for a cheap piece of plastic? C'mon.
b) Going for the next cookie-cutter phenomenon and not taking the time to produce quality acts. People have smartened up to the point that they're not going to buy that $14 piece of plastic for 1 or 2 decent songs and filler. Obviously iTunes comes into play here, and I'd encourage downloading those singles on iTunes and supporting the artist. However, before iTunes and back in the old Napster days, there was no "legal" option, as labels haven't produced US CD singles in forever.
c) The labels dropped the ball BIG TIME. Back when Napster first exploded, they should have jumped on the bandwagon IMMEDIATELY by offering legal music downloads. Instead, they decided to sue their own bread and butter. Big mistake. They could have won music fans over, instead they alienated them.
d) Produce U.S. CD singles again. It's that simple. If people are willing to pay a few bucks for a digital download, they'll pay $3 or so to buy the two or three songs that they like on a CD single. The labels greedily stopped producing them in the US, thus FORCING people to buy a full CD for the handful of good songs and the filler.
I have no pity for the labels. At all.
