word of the day:
etiolate
\EE-tee-uh-leyt\
verb
1. to cause to become weakened or sickly; drain of color or vigor.
2. to cause (a plant) to whiten or grow pale by excluding light: to etiolate celery.
Quotes
Man and boy, Theseus seeks self-knowledge and comes to understand how moira can both amplify and etiolate a life.
-- Mary Renault, The King Must Die, 1958
Origin of etiolate
Etiolate comes from the French verb étioler “to make pale, etiolate (plants),” probably derivative of a Norman French dialect form of standard French éteule, from Old French estoble, estuble “stubble,” from Latin stipula “stalk, straw.” The word entered English in the 18th century.

We are in our new environment. Won't be seeing much of me during the day now.

A GI bleed can really etiolate a patient.2 -

It was ok. Not fabulous. I didn't realize until I got it to work that it had feta in it - not a fan. I have a Mexican one to try, as well.
It must have been the "topped with feta cheese" in the description that was confusing.
Yeah. My observation skills were obviously lacking when I picked it up at the grocery store. In my defense, everyone and their dog (literally
) were at the store stocking up for #snowpocalypse2017 and I was just trying to get the heck out of there. 2 -

I just can't today. Son sick last night = no gym for me. Then I was wide awake at 2 a.m. Nasty and I mean, NASTY, commute into work this morning. Nagging low-key headache since Saturday (even after going to the chiropractor yesterday). I'm gonna wallow in my pathetic misery over here. Ugh. LOL0

Sorry! That sounds absolutely awful. I hope things get better quick! Like someone accidentally drops $5000 dollars in your pocket or something. 0 -

I like how you think. I would definitely feel better!2 -

Yoga was helpful. She focused on upper back, saying everyone was tense from shoveling and driving in the snow. She was right!6 -

It's barely 9:00 and I'm in bed, Alexa is playing rain sounds and I'm getting very sleepy. I plan on sleeping good tonight and waking up refreshed in the morning.
The weather is supposed to get really bad after tomorrow. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 60's but it's KS so we'll probably have gale force winds.

I hope you slept great. I slept horribly.
And it's the same here. It's supposed to get into the high 40's today, but the wind is insane!!! That's part of the reason I had a hard time sleeping. It was howling!0 -
We also have crazy wind today although it isn't cold. It was loud enough to keep waking me up last night. I am so glad we got the roof done!3

I read a few of these (it's even older than this thread!) and realised that I am not a huge binger. I am a terrible grazer. I put my weight on the boring way by overeating a couple of hundred calories each day. How dull. And I'm finding it super hard to give up those couple of hundred extra calories as I feel like I eat okay most of the time and somehow deserve a small treat. Weight loss is stalling here, can you tell?
The only time I've ever eaten a pint of ice cream in one sitting was when I was pregnant and I really put my mind to it! Even then I only did it once and it was mainly to distract myself from the horrific rash from Hell.0 -
I'm loving that thread, Tami. I'm on page 9.. I don't feel so alone in some of my binges. It's giving me some tasty ideas though...

I know! I had the same problem!!!1 -
I am on Day 5 of this nagging freaking headache. I've taken regular headache medicine, my migraine medicine, drank extra caffeine, been to the chiropractor twice, and gone to yoga trying to get rid of it. I booked a 90 minute massage, but that isn't until Monday. Couldn't call in sick to work because I have a meeting I have to go to... Enough already!
The good news - the kid FINALLY went back to school today! No more snow days!0 -
Still going through that thread. I have been guilty of some of them- ice cream, pizza type things. But some of those, just....wow....

I went through it and to a few of the posts I was like, "Pff. Amateurs!" Apparently I'm pretty good at doing "fat" things. 7 -
After reading some of those, I felt like an amateur!!1

When I get a migraine, the only thing that helps me is Pepsi and jujubes... Sooo, rather than just settle for a can of Pepsi and a small pack of jujubes, I went whole hog and had the 710 mL bottle and TWO pouches of jujubes for a whopping 860 calorie binge. I feel so gross... and I still have a migraine 0
