  • Is it weird that my driver's license weight is 30lb HEAVIER than I am? Every time I go I keep forgetting to change it...
  • Not I, that's for sure. Happy Turkey Day, everyone!
  • Hehehe. You've actually stumbled across one of my favorite topics to meditate over: To what extent does everyone feel separate? Truly, to completely think of yourself in terms of the individual, by definition you are "separate" or an "outsider." As most human beings are self-aware, most everyone, at some time or another,…
  • Dunno about gravy, but I use Alton Brown's buttermilk biscuit recipe (I put it in the food database, it's about 130 cals per biscuit): * 2 cups flour * 4 teaspoons baking powder * 1/4 teaspoon baking soda * 3/4 teaspoon salt * 2 tablespoons butter * 2 tablespoons shortening * 1 cup buttermilk, chilled Directions Preheat…
  • I like the veins on the forearms. Not a must, but definitely not disgusting.
  • Never. Food is a joy in life for me. Well, let me rephrase: GOOD food is a joy.

  • Salads (don't buy bag salad! Buy heads of dark green leafies--red leaf, romaine, etc. They keep better.) -Taco--cook up a 1/2 lb ground chuck or whatever, 1/2 packet of taco seasoning. Put half on a bed of lettuce w/ onion, tomato, green pepper, etc. Use salsa for dressing, if you like. Doesn't take more than 30-45 min to…
  • You'll be all right. I don't know if it will help or not, but I'd suggest you start with these two points in mind: 1. You are beautiful as you are. 2. You are doing this for your own benefit, not for anyone else's approval, so why tell your co workers what your goals are? Set goals here, rant here, get tips here...that's…
