    Red is milk chocolate, black is dark. I think that's all the flavours. Brown would be praline or nut if it exists.

    Edit: I have been thoroughly beaten, but no there is no "peanut butter" you scummy peasants.

    How does it feel being so wrong?

    That colour is hazelnut according to the Lindt website.

    Hopefully you don't have much family history of it.

    But usually this goes hand in hand with lots of things. You'll be noticing that you pee. A lot. And usually it accompanies a sudden weight loss.

    There are two muscles in my back that are apparently not included in my usual exercises but definetly are included when moving furniture and hauling off and old crt tv. I'm hurtin today.

    I do believe current medical theory is that new muscles form spontaneously when moving furniture, for the purpose of causing pain

    Am I the only one who just refuses to go to after hours company parties? I'm sorry. I don't care what fancy location and shmancy food you have. Having to dress up to hang with co-workers who aren't work friends just sucks. Oh sure I'll do whatever team building stuff you want during work hours. Hey, better than sittin' in the cube. But hell if I'm gonna spend my Saturday evening in an uncomfortable suit smiling and laughing while the VP of accounting tells me of the wonders of his iPad.

    When I was over 400lbs I was convinced I had beetus. Was pretty irresponsible about it, was afraid to get tested. When I finally started taking care of myself, my doctor ordered the test and when the results came back he was literally like "Well..huh."

    No beetus. He was baffled. Not even pre-diabetic.

    This is indeed a known medical fact at this point. :P

    If you're going to buy that you should ride it to work instead of the suit.

    My Maternal Grandmother had it, though I think she was the only one in the previous two generations. I have not lost weight, unless you count any weight lost by my reduced appetite during this time. Also I think any extra pee is linked to my extra drinking.

    So hopefully you guys are right. But even if it is the beetus, I'll just take it on the chin and learn to deal. It could be worse, my brother's father-in-law has bowel and lung cancer. :(

    Your colleagues don't drink heavily enough.

    The name of the game with works nights out is getting through them without anything ending up on facebook that violates the code of conduct and/or social media policy.

    Being obese is a small part of it. It only puts you at risk. Family history is much more of an issue. So much so. I've seen the thinest people get diabetes because they're pretty inactive and have shitty diets. Not just because they eat a lot.

    Free fancy food and free booze are two solid reasons to go to work parties.

    That said, the white wine at my Christmas party was pretty bad. But the venison was delicious. As was the port.

    "Get better at stuff" is probably a good thing.

    I work from home, so it was actually nice to go back and see everybody for a day. Also, my gf wanted to dance and show off her new ring, so there's that too. Maybe I'm weird, but I love dressing up, and since we do a lot of computer/tech work, I'm pretty much guaranteed to look better than most of the guys there.
