<p>^^ I’m all for kudos (and, of course, raising our glasses) but, to be perfectly honest, I think FC should be “shown the money”…get him a paid position…</p>
<p>You guys are awfully nice, and if you want to write to Earl Retif and Scott Cowen, who am I to stop you? Of course, if there is ANY truth to what you say, they may not be too happy with me right now.</p>
<p>Cheers! Here’s to Fallenchemist! (Glass of hi protein, lo carb shake raised high)</p>
<p>You have that dead on, Vitrac. I hit my goal of 70 pounds lost, I feel great, and I am thinking of going for 80, which would put me only 10 pounds over my high school weight. I was skinny-average in high school, so that would really be something. But truth be told, I still indulge a bit every now and then. A good wine is one of the magical things in life, I must say.</p>
<p>fallenchemist, you just have to skip your dietary plan when you drop your daughter off in Aug. Too much temptations!</p>
<p>Seriously, many kudos to you! You need to be mentioned by Scott in his Tulane Talk!!!</p>
<p>Wow! We want pictures! I’ve lost almost 5. Ten to go.</p>
<p>Stonebridge, rest assured that one of the reasons I am doing this (although not the main reason, which is that it is just a good idea!) is so I can take a vacation and not worry about what I eat for a few days! I don’t worry about adding a couple of pounds in New Orleans knowing I can take it off again later without a doubt. Giving up eating what I want in New Orleans is not an option.</p>
<p>jym - since you already know me, I will send you pics later. Remind me in a while if I haven’t done it.</p>
<p>I am very anxious to see!! That is incredible!! You should come on over to the diet/exercise thread. Interesteddad has lost about that same amount of weight and other are on diet/exercise/regimens and shared recipes (mostly Idad does that). HEre’s the thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/838576-diet-exercise-health-wellness-support-thread-249.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/838576-diet-exercise-health-wellness-support-thread-249.html</a></p>
<p>We should do a beefcake/cheesecake calendar with the stars of CC. Fallenchemist can be March for Mardi Gras! Proceeds to a college scholarship fund. Who’s on board?</p>
<p>Oh Good Lord!!! You better rethink that if you really want to sell any.</p>
<p>Free with a $10 donation :)</p>
<p>I’ll drink to that!</p>
<p>I wonder how many students the dorm being built by Butler will house? Will it be enough for the two consecutive larger than expected classes?</p>
<p>Actually, as a sophomore, I and many others were asked to leave Warren to migrate to another dorm so that Warren could be converted into a (mostly) freshman dorm. So I guess all the ones that won’t fit into Wall, Monroe, Paterson, Sharp, or JL will go there.</p>
<p>what is the name of the new dorm beside Butler?</p>
<p>here, smile12157-- <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tulane-university/1164273-new-dorm-soho.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tulane-university/1164273-new-dorm-soho.html</a></p>
<p>thanks. i wonder if the new dorm had something to do with more students.</p>
<p>Not really, they have needed it for some time. These things are planned years in advance. In fact for this, Tulane floated a bond issue (I think I have that right) that was like half for this dorm and half for something else. I am probably screwing up the details, but I know they did raise some of the money that way, back in November 2009. OK, found a link: [Tulane</a> University wins preliminary approval to issue bonds for new dorm | NOLA.com](<a href=“http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2009/08/tulane_university_wins_prelimi.html]Tulane”>http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2009/08/tulane_university_wins_prelimi.html)</p>

<p>thank you fallenchemist. the extra 265 beds will certainly help</p>
<p>Still waiting on those photos, FC… Hint, hint.</p>
