thanks for sharing allen. I too am grossed out these days, this past year I've put on a ton of weight and I am in the process of losing it, before I lose my mind. I've been writing over on livejournal about it, but thought I'd pop over here and see how bloop was doing, its been so long since I've visited. anyways, just wanted to say keep up the good work, I hope that we both succeed in our goals.
