My eyelid stopped twitching yesterday!!! It's been twitching off and on since February.

@Allyson, Yay for no more eyelid twitching! Mine finally stopped too about a week ago. I used to worry that folks would think I was winking at them when I wasn't.

Since last April I gained 15 pounds. Now since I sat for FAR on Aug 29th I've lost 8 of those 15. I want to lose more so I think this time around I'm planning on incorporating more workouts with my studying. I'm planning on working out early in the am and if I have time studying for a bit before I have to get the girls up for the day. Then studying during lunch and after the girls go to bed.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

I've resumed daily shaving of the legs and scrubbing the feet with a pumice stone. No more half-@ssed showers. I feel a lot less WT now.

I've resorted to at least a beer a night to help keep my sanity and relax. I haven't gained any weight though since I've been going on a daily 3 mile run which helps with the stress. I am SO glad to know I am not the only one with the twitching eye. How about twitching foot muscle. Anyone else? LOL

LOL. I'm still new to this whole CPA thing… I love the different order you've put the abbreviated section names in, misanthrope87. Hadn't seen that one, yet! That's good stuff.

Laughter is so important. I find myself getting WAY too serious with all this studying and working. It's amazing how much stress is relieved by a good laugh. I have to laugh every now and then, otherwise my wife will start thinking she married frankenstein, and my 2-year-old will stop wanting to play with me.

So take a break every now and then from all this grueling, death-struggle-studying just to get some laughs. It will go a long way.

BARF…. lol.

@tbstew I actually didn't come up with that. Surprisingly, I don't see too many people spelling it that way! Why not? CPA exam makes me wanna barf that's for sure. Haha. Yes, we must learn to enjoy at least the little things in life during this whole process
