If you could add or replace some chapters in WLS for Dummies, what would you name them? I'll start:


What's in a Protein Shake 101?

How to Survive Surgery Wars...or, Duck and Cover.

Eating and Not Pooping.

You Just Woke Up and Everyone is Standing Over You Asking if You're Ok.

I'm Not Mad, I Have the Foamies!

Eating Flour and Carbs DS Style.

How to Distinguish a Troll from a Friend.

NEXT!

Okay, I'm adding mine:

It's not the EASY way out...

WTH is a DS?

What's a co-morbid?

What's a lightweight/featherweight?

Good morning...it's a cool day here compared to other days lately. If it wasn't for me heating up the house with the oven, we would be able to keep the windows open now and stop running the a/c.
