Anyone have a fit bit?
I'm kind of tempted. But the lack of integration with s health is annoying.

I do. I think a full featured smart watch with fitness functions is probably a better buy.

Smart watch? Ugh.

Smart watch? Ugh.

If you're wearing a fitbit, it's not much difference IMO.

I was looking more at the mid range ones which are smart watches, albeit not as fancy as the expensive ones, I don't see too much use for those.

I got a fitbit for free through work (the basic model). Used it for a grand total of a week before deciding it was rather useless. Maybe fully featured watches are better.

Using the Vivoactive 3, very pleased with it. It's fairly small for a sports watch and can pass for a regular watch when selecting a standard clock face.

And all course you get all the metrics you (n)ever need, GPS, ANT+ etc.

I liked mine, but stopped wearing it when I got my last job (lots of moving machinery).

I think my cat may be on her last legs.  She's 15 and has become incontent.  She howls through the night in pain and her vomit may contain blood.  She's taking pills, for a bladder infection but they don't appear to be doing much.

IHOP changed it's name to International House of Burgers.

For realz?

Aha!
A friend on facebook shared burger king having changed their profile picture to pancake king.
It makes sense now.

So Matteo Bocchi, the Italian kid from Parma who taught himself to pitch by watching breakdowns on the internet, threw five masterful innings in helping Texas advance to the College World Series on Monday. I was there getting extremely sunburned

Been a great sports week.

All sports are silly. The point, and the joy, is the competition.

That is pretty awesome.  I love stories like that.  I have dreams of my kid becoming the first "Argentine" pitcher to get to the MLB level

I've been watching more college baseball this year than I ever have.  I had been attending my friends' kids' high school games recently, so college ball is suddenly a lot more relevant to me.
