I worship you, Wheetsin! I agree with every single freakin' word you just wrote.

I prefer nuts, too. Pistachios are great, because they give you something to do with your hands and makes it seem like you are eating more than you are.

That's a good idea. Ideally, that's what I'd do, but I live in an apartment with very limited counter space. And I'm a packrat, so my counter's already full.:guess

I tried tofu for the first time last night, and it wasn't bad. It was in an Asian dish that wasn't highly flavored (IMO, at least) to start with, so it was a little bland. It made me want to try more, though, cooked in different ways.

Some people use sugar-free products because of the calories found in sugar. Other people use limited amounts of real sugar, or don't even worry about the amount of sugar they consume. It just depends on what works best for you, what your nutritionist wants you to do, etc. I personally just limit my use of real sugar. I don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners, so I just eat or drink things with real sugar and factor it into my calories for the day or I eat/drink unsweetened things.

You may be able to find them in your grocery store. Some stores have them in the freezer section. You just cook them and serve them with a little kosher salt, if you like them salty. But they are GOOD!

My brother joined Alpha Tau Omega and was actually elected President of his chapter. And then the chapter got disbanded a year or so after his term as President. Too much partying/fighting/drugs. He found out just how much he was paying for friends, though, since he doesn't have that many from the fraternity.

Do you have a place near you that offers Edamame? I had it for the first time last night when I ate dinner with my brother and sister-in-law. It's damned addictive!

Ditto. Believe me, we can find lots of stuff that Sandy's done to bitch about! :whoo: But it just figures, with my luck, that the thread got deleted the day(s) that I had to drive to Memphis and back and couldn't read it. Now I'm wondering if I missed anything interesting. :cry

I am utterly and completely astounded. I don't see how some people actually take care of themselved in the real world, if they are that stupid.

Oh, wow. That would give me the giggles, I think. I always laugh when I read ads and such that have major mistakes in them.

I've noticed that the times on the board seem to be about 20 minutes slower than real time. For example, someone will make a post and it will have appeared when I refresh a page that I've been on a short time, but it has a time stamp of 20 minutes ago. Is that something that can be fixed?

And remember to wash the walls before you paint! They never show that on the shows, but to have a proper, lasting paint job, you need to wash whatever it is that you're painting with a mild soap (water with a little dish soap added, for example) and let it dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours) before you paint. That removes at least most of the grease/dust/dirt that builds up in the years between painting.

Well, it's obviously worked for you! Definitely a worthy goal. If it works, it works. Don't fix what isn't broken, as they saying goes.

In that case, BEAT HER!

Eat something! Just enough that you aren't hungry anymore, at least. I know I always blew all of my diets because I let myself get super hungry. Eat a couple of pieced of cheese or open a can of veggies or something!

"Clear liquids" just refers to the fact that you can see through them. It doesn't mean that you literally drink only colorless liquids.

I tried the same one you did, I think, and thought the same. It had a weird, "diet drink" aftertaste.

As college students, that should interest them!

I was wondering why you were saying that you couldn't have vodka until 10/7 in the other thread. Now it ALL makes sense. Drink up that Protein, WASa! And drink LOTS of Water, and think of being thin. You only have a week! You can DO it! :clap2:

Bees. And I'm freaked about every other flying insect because of it, too. Heights, to a certain extent. I can only tolerate heights if I am certain that I won't fall. I can't go up to the edge of a cliff if there is nothing to keep me from falling, but I can go if there's a wall that's at least waist height.

Okay, that was mesmerizing. And painful. I have to go take a tylenol now. :sick

I always get laughs out of my students when I tell them about Ergot. It's about the only thing that can make the fungi lab interesting.

I think EVERYONE would be on a bad trip, then. Speaking of LSD, have you ever heard of Ergot? It's a type of fungus that parasitizes grain. It's chemically identical to LSD and can cause halucinations, convulsions, everything that LSD does. They think it's what might have caused the Salem Witch Trials.

Very true. No one's perfect, but there are a lot of nice, decent people. Yep, you're perfect, Derick!:guess:biggrin1:
