      Nope, we sell it raw/strained. We don't heat process it; just filter it to get most of the cappings out and bottle it. I sell a ton at work, ship some to friends and family and we also have a little stand up by the road. We'd like to eventually sell some at the maple syrup factory up the road.
      Sounds like that would be a good outlet!

      Yet another reason why bees are awesome!


      I love honey. I have tried raw locally sourced honey during allergy season, no help. Yummy and worth eating but no help with allergies for me.

      I started SL 5x5 last night with Mr. Mo. He didn't even try to weasel out of it and that made me so happy. I was able to talk one of our friends that lifts into helping us so we made sure our form was correct and we knew how to do each lift properly. I felt VERY out of place in the weight room because everyone else knew what they were doing and didn't have a "coach". Anywho, he was very encouraging and helpful and I'm glad he was there.

      We took our measurements last night and I'm sad about mine. My waist measured 31" across my belly button, (I've been bloated lately, so I'm not sure how accurate that really was) my hips are 37.5, biceps are both 10" while my quads are 19.5", (I think) and my calves are I think 15". Not sure what "healthy" measurements for someone 5'7 should be.

      The DOMS are strong with this one this morning. Especially my neck from where the bar was resting during my squats. I feel bruised.

      I enjoyed the lifting, but more than that, I enjoyed spending time with my honey.

      I am very happy with my life. I admit I sometimes think I would like someone in my life but then I see people feeling constricted with having to manage others expectations. I am not interested in managing to any one else's expectations. Maybe that will change but I am basically a loner. I like to manage my life on my schedule and I am ok with being alone. I may meet someone one day but he'd have to be pretty special (and tolerant and equally independent ).

      Seconded!!! I really am quite content with not having a man in my life besides the 4 year old. Maybe as he gets older and more independent that feeling might change but right now I just wonder if it would even be possible to fit a relationship in. Although I do confess to hating having to take the garbage out ;)

      Ah, I think I might have misunderstood the original post. I took it that the man's 'injury' was an STD and that he was talking about picking scabs off his wotsit. That struck me as a particularly unpleasant conversation to be having in mixed company.
      No, you were right the first time the implication (tones used by the men) were STD. The actual words were not, but the in person tone there was STD or similar. I personally was not offended however I was annoyed. I am around men in a male dominated field all day long. I have heard a lot and it does not generally bother me, although I do train my staff about appropriate times/places. I purposefully budget to be a member of a club where social niceties and manners and, yes, minding your language in front of women and children are expected. I choose to drive farther and pay a whole lot extra to be this environment. I do this especially so my daughter who is sensitive feels comfortable to work out. Is it the end of the world? Not at all. Will I get my daughter back into the weight room? Probably not for a long time. :neutral: That is what I am annoyed with.

      We'll definitely have to organize Xmas for those who celebrate it... or we'll all go broke. Can Santa be agnostic across cultures and religions in the thread??? He kind of is but some do not practice the exchanging of gifts. We'll have to identify who is in, etc.

      I am so clueless I missed the STD part. I was just grossed out by him being in the bathroom and discussing his bodily functions in public. Now I am doubly grossed out.

      Trust your Fitbit. The rule for mfp is roughly half, but to reassess how you are losing - too quick, eat back a larger %. If you eat them all back and are losing at the rate you expect to be, that works too.

      I tend to think that As you get more fit, the burns are less accurate. When I was logging exercise on here, I usually tried a couple other calculators to see how close the burn was and it was usually close.

      I try not to eat any exercise calories back at all....I am totally confused now :|

      You are lucky Mr Mo lifts with you. I get my husband to spot me occasionally and help put the bar in place for squats until I get a power rack. I may have to encourage him to participate too.

      Not for everyone, and no offence to Susie, but it really irritates me the way this gets bandied about the forums as if it's Gospel. There are quite a few people who find it overestimates burn, but personally I found that when I got my HRM, a lot of the counts were actually pretty close to what MFP had given me. I've seen other people on my friends list say the same, and some even say they're a bit on the low side.

      I know for me the MFP numbers are WAY overestimated. Probably because I'm short lol.

      I eat about 250 or so back. My fitbit burn is usually about 500-600 calories a day so I feel like 250 is a safe number. So far it works for me . I have my goal set to lose 1.5lbs per week and if I take my average since I started I have lost 1.2 lbs per week, which is close enough for me.

      That would be AWESOME!!! I love giving and getting gifts. @MelissaPhippsFeagins already had my address because she promised me fudge and zucchini cake!

      My birthday is December 27, btw.

      Just don't expect then in the same package. Fudge mailed to Kansas in August would melt. And that would be sad

      not to be contrary or anything, but i don't see the issue with their conversation. 2 adults were having a conversation, in the vicinity of other adults. I don't see how discussing toilet habits or scabs impacts family values? You overhear all sorts of conversations, in all sorts of places. Its up to you if you're going to be offended by it, but really, what does being offended achieve? (Check out Steve Hughes - offended on youtube).

      And i really don't go for the idea that ladies are fragile wall flowers with delicate constitutions and ears.

      and presumably, if you're hanging out in the weights room, the guys are giving you the kudos of being strong individuals, not likely to be offended by a few words, which were not addressed to you?

      I agree. While I'd think it was a bit gross, I wouldn't be personally offended by it.

      And I especially agree with the bolded.

      I asked him on our way home if he had fun/enjoyed himself and he say yes, so that is a MAJOR victory in and of itself. He's been avoiding the Y like the plague for several years even though we were still paying for the membership. He did tell me he doesn't want to work out in the mornings before work, he'd rather work out in the evenings when he's already sweaty from work. Either way, as long as we're doing it, I'm happy. Honestly, I was really relieved when he said he didn't want to work out in the morning.

      I thought for sure I would be super hungry when we were done, but I had to nearly force myself to eat a protein bar. I was SO TIRED and slept good except for the 3 times I got up during the night to pee.
      3 TIMES IN ONE NIGHT!!!
