Have been doing IF 2+ yrs now. I eat dinner early and then fast for 16 hrs. I initially lost a few pounds, but i continue it primarily to restrict evening snacking.
As for Gloria, and other song names..... a had a classmate named Sylvia. Whenever friends called her on the phone, her mom would answer and screen the calls. So the exchange went: "Is Sylvia there?", and we'd get, "This is Sylvia's mother, who's calling please?". And we would laugh. Her mother told Sylvia to get friends who weren't rude.
Several years ago we were driving in Florence Italy, trying to return our rental car to Hertz. The Garmin we were using kept trying to send us the wrong way up a one way street, not a side street but a main artery. We took a parallel one way street in the right direction. No matter - at every block the Garmin tried to get us back to the one way street.
Eric, I adopted a time restricted eating regimen about four and a half years ago: I stop eating by six pm and, generally, don’t eat again until ten am. I also lost twenty pounds over the last seven years, and have been able to keep them off. In my case, it seems that TRE has helped me get used to going longer periods of time without feeling hungry. My hedonic eating drive seems to have been reduced. Also, I’m an exercise physiologist who has tried to use my knowledge and experience to inform this whole process. Lastly, as far as muscle loss associated with these practices is concerned, I’m pretty confident in the research I’ve seen and my own experience to be able to say that adequate protein intake and resistance exercise will help preserve muscle mass.
No arguments with Gloria, but Chicago's own Material Issue deserves a mention. Several hits from their power pop classic, International Pop Overthrow, include women's names: Diane, Valerie, and Renee.
The more we integrate smart technology into cars, the more opportunities we will have to make driving even safer. Technology could be designed to not allow cars to enter a highway or road the wrong way.
Gloria is an excellent nominee. Bonus points for the Dave Barry endorsement. Maybe "Lola" wasn't so great for Lola's at the time (not a common name). Also, The Name Game by Shirley Ellis was fun for some and perhaps hell for others. The other candidate might have been Peggy Sue by Buddy Holly, only because there was a right-wing commentator who opposed rock 'n roll who intoned "Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue" in a pseudo-hypnotic way trying to make a point about rock's effect on young minds. The Facebook gang might have gone back a little farther searching for names. I don't think these traumatized anyone, but: Little Susie (Phil and Don), Susie Q (Dale Hawkins), Lucille (Little Richard), Maybellene (Chuck Berry), Bernadette (Four Tops), Diana (Paul Anka), Long Tall Sally (Little Richard), and later, Joanna (Kool and the Gang).
I don't usually click on a 7-minute video in a blog post (and if I do I'll just watch a minute or so). But Kelli O'Hara earned the whole 7 minutes plus.... that was sensational!
Loved loved loved the song this week performed by Kelly O'Hara!
Didn't really get the winning tweet but don't have married children and honestly not been to too many fancy weddings; if I had had the opportunity (we had a potluck in the yard that included Schwann's food) I would've taken the money.
Glad to vote on the visual tweets as they are hysterical; I voted for the "We're doomed".
Other than your and Mary's column, I left the Trib long ago...will be glad to read her again soon. So, the only thing familiar about Kass was his photo; I did enjoy the article you linked to tho.
RE: Gloria...the Shadows of Night version. I lost one of my dearest friends named Gloria this year. We belted out that song on many happy occasions as well as one celebrating her life. Another friend's mom was a Gloria and was like my second mom. It's also a song a song of my youth so I have a special fondness for that tune.
Re your woolgathering list of other songs with female name ruined by awful songs. I always kinda liked Roxanne. I found it odd to not have Susan/Suzi/Suzanne/Sue on the list as there are so very many songs about Sues. I suspect because some are quite epic and even, classics! I am one and in the way back machine I was in a relationship with someone who was an on air personality (aka "Disk Jockey") working in Peoria. He was a really talented one back in the day when they were carefully curated and produced by live people in real time. He also produced something called a "News Blimp" a short piece on a topic-he put a sound track for it with songs about the topic. Who knew there were a boatload of songs about fridges? He was an avid collector of all things musical and had a pretty encyclopedic memory. At any rate, when I moved away, he sent me tapes of shows he curated for me, hoping to get me to move back (I did but alas, it didn't stick). At one point he sent me a 35 minute tape, then it in a CD format that he produced full of snippets of parts of "Sue Songs". I just dug it out to listen to it again to find over 30 of them! He later told me he had lists of many more in case he wanted to revisit that project. Included-a dog barking "Oh Suzanna" with a banjo, Shel Silverstein speaking a rewrite of "A Boy Named Sue (also Johnny Cash version), Elton John, "Black Eyed Suzie', "Where's the Playground Suzie?" with "Suzie Snowflake" over dubbed, "Switchboard Suzie will you Give me a Line", Jackson Brown, "Cocaine" (You take Sally, I'll take Sue, there ain't no difference between the two), George Harrison, "Sue me Sue you blues", Stones "Dead Flowers, (take me down little Suzi, take me down) Bromberg, You Gotta Suffer if you want to Sing the Blues", "Runaround Sue" and the greatest rock and roll song ever, Credence's "Oh Suzie Q" dispersed through out. He later have me a bunch of 45's with the songs including ones he didn't include.
So, I did appreciate your Gloria piece sending me down a bitter but sweet memory lane this morning. Sincerely, your fan, Sue
We were together in the "Sharona" daze, I was his "Suezona"
If Georgia said that they were extending tax benefits to pregnant mothers as a way to improve prenatal health care for low-income families, would that be progressive extremism? When is the rationale more important than the effect of the legislation? I get the point. And I hope that the definition of when personhood begins eventually becomes the central point of discussion and legislation. The 'ban' people understand this and are aggressively pushing their position. The 'don't ban' side needs to get a position (15 to 20 weeks?) that can garner majority support and get into legislation.
Foxx's response that 'other places have high turnover and overworked staff too' is yet more clear proof that she is a horrible manager/administrator. Her job is to respond to the problems in her office. She can say, "that's the way I want it" because she is trying to force out the old guard, or she can say "I am trying to fix it, but I need time and here is what I am doing". But telling me that not having lights in my office is a common problem in other cities is idiotic. Sadly, I doubt that this will have any effect on her getting reelected. Or a future bid for higher office.

Regarding technology solving wrong way drivers:
Several years ago we were driving in Florence Italy, trying to return our rental car to Hertz. The Garmin we were using kept trying to send us the wrong way up a one way street, not a side street but a main artery. We took a parallel one way street in the right direction. No matter - at every block the Garmin tried to get us back to the one way street.
So technology still has a way to go.
Thank you for "They Don't Let You in the Opera if You’re a Country Star”
Patti Smith did a “Gloria” for the ages in 1975.

You were so close to being right.
The afore mention Gloria comes nowhere near the irritation of the 1978 police ballad, Roxanne.
Biased? Why, yes, I am, thank you. This is my wife's name.
Every mouth breather in the world can sing the opening lyric to that song
and think he's (it's always a he, isn't it) as witty as Noel Coward.
After 44 years, it gets old.
Really, really old.
I eat healthily until 9 pm then I shovel junk food until bedtime at 10. I think that counts
