I was checking the links to other blogs of a blog I like (a friend's blog) and it's interesting following their links and seeing what kind of weird blogs you end up stumbling upon. I came upon this woman, who is apparently a doctor (and runner) who is pregnant but appears to have an ED or something. I follow the link to her boyfriend's blog and learn that he was just divorced within the year and she left her husband for him and he has some serious drama of his very own. I was totally captivated.
Have you ever experienced this? It just feels so dirty to me that I know all about these people now. I even posted a comment on the woman's blog (out of total terror at the stuff she was writing about how she had only gained a pound at 5 months, only planned to gain no more than 12 and expected to be lower than pre-pregnancy weight within the first week after giving birth).
I just feel so dirty.

"Okay Mommy, time to get dressed for work! Now let's see some NIPPLES!!!!"
That's the thing -- it is scary and totally confusing. And what's scarier is that she insists that there's no evidence that weight gain is important during pregnancy. She's very matter-of-fact about it -- cause you know she's a doctor so she knows. The baby will get what it needs. She also stated that she thinks of all mothers as being fat and out of shape. She also, I KID YOU NOT, runs literally 13 miles a day. Every day. No rest days.

I was all set to be a doctor...and then I started spending a lot of time with doctors.
And many of them are batshit crazy.

I have gone down the blog link wormhole as well. It's scary.
I agree, and it drives me nuts that lawyers are villified and doctors aren't as much. They're no better as a people IMHO.

Seriously.
It terrified me, once I realized that I would be spending most of my time with these people.
In terms of asshole quotient, attorneys have nothing on physicians.
Pregnancy is a very dangerous time for anorexics.
Though I have been "healthy" for a long time, I still have great fears about my ability to be healthy while pregnant.
I think that if you're aware of the potential and willing to accept help it would be do-able but tough. For me, I would welcome any excuse to be fat.

I wonder sometimes which is more stupid, our brains or the way we use them. Of all the addictive behaviors I've encountered in my life, none is as maddening as an eating disorder.
I assume she's wrestled with a variety of problems and come to the conclusion in each one that weight gain should be avoided. My car has poor fuel economy? I should probably lose weight.
"I'm in Team 2 and we're not pussies." -gadget girl
Well, as long as she can control her weight gain everything is under control, right? That's how the universe works.
I just checked her link again and it appears that possibly now that strangers who post comments are reading her blog she's going to backpedal. It's even more fascinating to me now that I feel like I've influenced a stranger's blog.

We made a baby in a call room.
We're moving to Europe in less than a year.
I'm five months pregnant and still so in love.

But this chick is nutso. And DON'T RIDE A BICYCLE (esp. in the dark or up a mountain!!) when pregnant. Trainer, maybe...but on the roads?

I wouldn't. That would make me feel bad. I don't want anyone to get in trouble.
"Life itself is the proper binge." - Julia Child
It's not possible for you to get anyone into trouble. They can only get themselves into trouble.
It disturbs me greatly that they have these trysts in a hospital. I hardly think that would be sanitary! Can you imagine what their supervisors would think? Imagine what would happen if the local media found out. It would be a PR nightmare for that hospital.
Theses are two adults acting like a bunch of adolescents with little regard to their actions. They even had the audacity to post their pictures! They'd be fired on the spot if the administrators knew what was going on behind closed "call room" doors.
They should reflect on what they post and ask themselves, "What would my patients think if they read this"?
Try being informed instead of just opinionated.
I think the runningdoctor has and took his blog down (well it's by invite only and somehow I doubt I will be invited). I don't think rocker was actually going to hunt this guy down or anything, but I think, as a general proposition, that would be a bad idea. I mean, I truly can't imagine the horror of having an internet stranger investigating my identity. Yeah, it's public, and yeah, I mostly don't say anything interesting much less juicy, but that would still be horrific. I guess it could happen. . . hmmm. . . maybe I'd better become a troll


(j/k) But all that aside, who cares who they are. I'm not sure what a call room is but I doubt people operate in them. And, I can relate to wanting to vent about work. I guess I empathize because I'm a frequently a dumb shit when it comes to this stuff and I feel like I should look out for fellow dumb shits (while engaging in rank voyeurism of course).

And, I believe in karma. (Well, my own perverted western version of karma of course).
"Life itself is the proper binge." - Julia Child
I'm certainly not advocating that anyone track these folks down and "out" them. I hope that was not the message I conveyed.
If blogging is the method of choice these two choose to vent, then by all means they should do so, but be intelligent about it. They are physicians, so they are clearly smart enough to know the consequences of posting information in the internet. My guess is that he, at least, is beginning so see the slippery slope of posting a blog with possibly too much private info, as he as locked his blog out from the general population.
I did venture over and read a little bit of her blog and some of the comments posted. What they fail to realize is the diverse crowd that is here: lawyers, doctors, scientists, counselors, ED survivors, mothers, etc. We're not just a bunch of loonies, though one might come to that conclusion unless they spent some time here. This place can be harsh, but by far and large, probably unanimously, only wish the best for all those involved, especially the children.
Again, you are not responsible for any consequences. I saw one comment from, I think it was "Olga" who said the SL didn't need any extra stress since she was pregnant. Wow. I didn't realize this forum was so powerful as to cause more stress than being a doctor and living thfe life she freely chooses and posts about!

I can't smile in certain ways and I sound like an idiot when I speak.
We couldn't just open the door and walk out so I opened the door and walked out, turning off the light. Then the Girl snuck out a little later.
Last year, when I started coming home to an empty, cold house to eat generic Lucky Charms for dinner, my reality had kicked in quite well.
I got explosive diarrhea from some spice lamb dish that I really liked (while eating it). She had a 300 calorie vegetarian dish that she tolerated well.
She has some weird sleep issues; she couldn't even sleep in the same bed as her husband. She wears a night mask and ear plugs.

I think the risk-to-return ratio on blogs is too wacky. For the most part, the blogs I see most are from the kind of people who write their own wedding vows, or this sort of thing. An email gets passed around about some jackass whose blog starts with some variation of "I started this blog so people could keep track of my training. Also, here's some bad poetry." My fear is that a blog appeals to the Aleksey Vayner living in all of us, just waiting for a little viral exposure. I couldn't survive it.

you're finally getting it.
Bono didn't make the crap. He IS the crap.

I was running along at around mile six of a big long race this past May. My brother was socializing in the back of the pack and my training partner was stopping to puke every half mile. With no one to talk to, I began listening to the two guys in front of me. If for some reason, Ella, you ever get bitten by the ultra bug, you'll discover as I did that no matter what race, what distance, what time of day or night, the guys in front of you are talking about shoes. Always. I listened in on the shoe conversation, learned there's an important distinction between running in Mudrocs and Roclites. For instance, you might wear the Roclites in a road race, but you'd never wear the Mudrocs on the road. Oddly, the reverse is not true. You might wear the Roclites or the Mudrocs on the trail. It all depends. Could go either way. Here at Massanutten, the guy in front of us had opted for the Roclites, but not without some trepidation. As riveting as the shoe conversation was, I was pleased to hear them take a break from it and move on to a different subject. It seems they were greatly offended by some whimsical running stories they'd found on the internet and were comparing them with another set of whimsical running stories they'd found on the same site. One of the "authors" was getting dragged through the mud. I like a good mud-dragging, myself, so I was thinking about joining them, saying things like, "That idiotic son of a bitch!" and "Derivative. Entirely derivative." Sadly, I was to discover they were talking about me.

Later that night, I was fumbling along and I was coming up on a small group crossing a particularly rocky-bouldery stretch. I heard "...and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed with the way these Roclites have held up on the technical stuff here." The Montrail Continental Divide is one
tank of a shoe. Not good for much, I found, what with the mangling it did to my heels. But I tell you what, as bad as it hurt my feet, it probably was ten times worse for that guy to find one lodged in his ass as he fell down Short Mountain. My brother wanted to know why I'd done that. I said it needed to be done and he seemed to accept that.

How is blogging any different than posting, say, a race report or funny story here? I keep a blog to keep my family up to date on what I'm doing here in CA without having to write a bunch of emails. And its a mini-diary as well, but I realize its public and I don't want to expose all my doings.
And Rocker - I think you are freaking hilarious. Your gift for the written word is great - I'd read your blog.

I would too! I have to admit I love reading blogs.

So do I, but I would qualify that with "I love reading well-written blogs." There are a few blogs where I was tortured by the lack of basic language skills.

Ouch.
A lot of my co-workers have blogs ... and for the most part, they are very well-written and articulate. I work with a ton of smart peeps ... and its kind of intimidating.

I work at a university, and, sadly, am surrounded by morons.

Actually, not all of them. But a subset. Mostly "business educators" who think they can write, and I get stuck editing their stuff and it makes me want to go all killkillkillkillkillkill.

I find people's use of language fascinating. I'm sure my opinion of what is good and bad is more instinctive than anything, but I am sometimes just as intrigued by a badly described idea as I am a well-crafted one. I see what you're saying about something being well-written, but in and of itself, that doesn't make a thing worth reading to me. Sometimes, being able to write well just means you reveal your neuroses with greater precision. What is a vague, formless Rorschach test in a person who has poor language skills gets carved into a proper Oedipus complex by someone more talented. I think the doctor whose blog kicked off this discussion has perfectly demonstrated that intelligence and education can be used to support a bad idea.
Generally, I have more respect for people who I think write well -- envy, in a way -- but I've never found the value of ideas discussed changes dramatically between a perfect sentence and a grammatical nightmare.

It isn't much, though one key difference to me is that anything you post here is intended to be part of a conversation. I don't have as big an objection to blogs as I've made out here. I've just seen too many of these viral blogs: self-absorbed nutters who end up being the butt of a joke they don't understand. Too many of my daily thoughts would qualify for this kind of exposure.

"At some point, a guy ran by, crossing the trail, going in the opposite direction. I know I shouldn't, I know it's petty, but once in a while one has to have fun; I took off down the trail after him. Not surprisingly, he didn't want to get passed and started spriting down the trail. Ah, the cheap motivation one gains when effortlessly passing a runner like that, on a soft trail, on a beautiful evening."

START A BLOG ABOUT IT!!!
"Jello wrestling - its pretty much the greatest show on earth."
- Some dude on the Peoples Court
Okay, so at the reccommendation of Jenn7, I spent some in depth moments in March 2007. I lread the last entry...and then skipped back to the first. Well, WOW there is a world of difference in just 30 short days.
Today, I drummed up a weight loss competition at work. Four residents trying to lose as much weight as possible in 2 months. A dinner is on the line. We obviously don't all have the same weight reserves. Our chief resident has some healthy upholstry so his goal is more than 10 pounds. On the other end of the spectrum is a hot little waif of a woman, who really shouldn't be losing weight at all. We have made up a sort-of percentage chart so we compare our actual loss to desired weight loss.
Yeah, one of my colleagues has the very classic female athlete triad. This, of course, consists of low BMI, amennorhea and osteoporosis. Seriously, this girl has not had more than a few periods in 5 years and had a stress hip fracture a few years ago. The weird thing is I really admire her dedication, although what she does is technically nto healthy. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
And 30 days later, she had left her husband, Dr. Douche had inseminated her, and they spent all their free time a-boinkin' like bunnies in the coat closet.

Oh noes!!!!!! NOw they're maikn' out in his daughter's bed! Eeeeeeeeeeeew!

"He was very sickly until he started riding around on that bicycle"..."now his mind is gone"
That night my 10 year high school reunion was quite enjoyable. It was fun to introduce SR to everyone. And to show the ultrasound pictures. The girls from my class looked really good. I was proud to hear about their jobs and the fun many of them seemed to be having. The most interesting conversation was about 20 HETE protein and its role in cerebral ischemia.
But on March 13th, he asked me in to his house to fold laundry and I told him I was in love with him and never should have gotten married. He stared at me for a long time. He told me I was perfect and that "the flood gates would open," so I better be sure.

Okay, so check out June. This is the month of the immaculate conception.

it's starting to make me sad though too.. i'm not sure why.
Some people get buried more deeply than others.
It makes me wonder if it's real... I mean, seriously... who says stuff like this:
When the Girl and I were backcountry camping some weeks ago, we both drank out of the streams during our runs. We thought it would be romantic to both get Giardiasis at the same time.
I can't decide if it's more sad if it's real, or if he's making it up for attention or something.

holy crap.
i was wondering if these blogs would be good fodder for some hollywood writer, or comedian, or something..
it just doesn't seem real.. i mean, i know people can be fvcked up..but wow. it might be easy to figure out who they are if you can find the race where he came in first and she came in second..and some of the other race references..

I drank from the wrong creek once. Lost nine pounds in three days. At the worst, it was about fifteen minutes between trips to the bathroom and that really was around the clock. That doesn't clear up overnight, either. It goes away very gradually.

Apparently she works out 5 hours a day (including 12 miles of running everyday). SHe ran a 1:47 1/2 5 months pregnant.
Mr. SG knows a woman who did that sort of thing. She was an aerobics instructor. She's teach 3 classes, run, swim, bike, stayed skinny throughout pregnancy. The kid was born with major neuromuscular issues.

Mean can sometimes be instructive. Some very important lessons can be learned because we got our feelings hurt only after we'd ignored all the opportunities to learn something we needed to learn.
Addicts often need to be broken down totally before they give up the addiction. DB, I know a lot of people who owe their lives to the fact someone hurt their feelings.
