From "Moonlighting" - Bruce Willis "We knew that sooner or later, you'd put two and two together and come up with a fraction!"

Daily driver: 2012 Ford Escape. It's my second escape, the previous was a 2007. I average about 4K miles per month, so I need something that's comfortable, good on the highway, good on gas, etc ... oh, and it has to be able to haul 2 large Airedale Terriers. The Escape fills the bill. On the highway, I get about 27-30 mpg.…

1. More infamous than famous, but Warren G. Harding. 2. Notable but not extremely famous: Dr Francis Julius LeMoyne - built the first crematorium in the US. His family was also part of the underground railway. 3. Famous, but not historical: Dorothy Hart - movie actress from the 1940's. She played Jane in "Tarzan's Savage…

You know, I heard from a friend who knows a person who is married to an IT professional who says it is true ... And also, that web pages and programs load more quickly when you move the mouse cursor in circles ...

They can, if I let them. That being said, I try to live in today. I do NOT regret my past. It is what brought me to where I am now, and regardless of what I have done, I cannot change it. I do NOT close the door on my past, as what were once weaknesses and falls either HAVE become ( or have the POTENTIAL to become ) my…

Yes, and then some ... You never know when God will call you home, so I always want my sweetheart to know just how much I love her. It's just how we are.

From my profile page: "I fully believe that I am one of God's miracles. Late last year, He touched me with His grace and mercy as only He can. I intend to hold on to His hand, and go wherever He leads me. In order for me to do that, I need to ensure that I am healthy enough to do it, AND to be a good steward of this body…

I don't "work out". I've lost 75 lbs. That being said, I also have a fairly active lifestyle, including walking our dogs ... They don't care if it's hot or freezing, or raining ... They still have to answer nature's call. Walking them can be anywhere from 45 minutes per day up to a couple of hours. every. single. day. So,…

We have two WONDERFUL oversized Airedale Terriers! ETA: By "oversized" I mean BIG ... Otis is 90 lbs and 30" at the shoulder, Ruby is 70 lbs and 27" at the shoulder. A standard male Airedale is about 55 lbs and about 23" ... yes, they're HUGE! BUT SOOOOOOOO LOVEABLE!!!

Depends. If you buy them in the shell, the nutrition facts are probably for in the shell. If you buy them sans shell (already shelled) the nutrition facts are probably for the bare nuts. The ones I buy (from Sam's Club) come both shelled (bare nuts) and un-shelled (in the shell), and are 160 cal/160 sodium per 1/4 cup.…

Losing --- by Tenth Avenue North ... LOVE that song

They are yummy. The recipe is an authentic cuban recipe. You can play with the proportions, especially if you like mojo criollo (Cuban marinade) ... the lime, orange, garlic, cumin, and oregano are basically a home made mojo. ETA: If you want it a little sweeter, use more orange. If you want more zing, use more lime. If…

Another one that gets me is "Breathe" by Michael W. Smith This is special to me because the first time I heard it, it was TRULY a God moment. I had just been talking with someone about Philippians 4:13 (I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me), and when I got back in my car, God prompted me to look up 1…

You Love Me Anyway - Sidewalk Prophets

Cuban style black beans: If you're starting with dried (since they're lower in sodium), cook them for about 2 hours (or till tender) in a big pot of water, OR soak them overnight. I'll assume you're cooking one pound. Strain the liquid off, but set it aside. put about 1/5 to 1/4 of the bean in a blender, add about a cup of…

If you are indeed not a Christian, then whatever you do does NOT fall under the "rules" of Christianity. I apologize in advance for the person who claims to be a Christian and yet is judging you. We as Christians are not to judge nonbelievers, only to judge believers, and even then, with kindness and out of love, to keep…

MFP really needs a "Like" button :)

Having suffered from depression for a number of years, but now am clear, I will say that THIS is the best piece of advice / treatment that I could offer you. You have stumbled on to what may work for you... You got called in, and already you feel better. You had mentioned in your original post that you had lots of "down"…

I'm with you on the Pontiac line, and I DO like the Holden products they put in the line (as the GTO and the G8). Unlike many "old school" GTO owners, I really liked the new Goats. I think that Pontiac kept the 'new' GTO in the spirit of the original, which is lots of horsepower in an average looking "family coupe" I also…

I have ONLY walked, and have not done any other "cardio". I have lost a total of about 75 lbs. during 2010, and 2011, I lost an average of 20 lbs per year. But, I wasn't EXTREMELY serious, and was not on MFP. I joined MFP at the urging of my sweet wife to lose the last 11 lbs to get to my goal weight. It took me about 4 or…

I did all my weight loss by watching calories and walking...I don't do "cardio" per se. During 2010, 2011, I averaged about 20 lb per year, but that was before I joined MFP. After joining MFP, it took me 4 or 5 weeks to lose the last 11 (ended up being more like 12 or so, because I got down to 157) pounds. I had my goals…

Daily driver is a 2011 Escape. Weekend fun is a Pepper Green 1970 Pontiac GTO. :D

You HAVE to love the new belt-hole NSV's! Congrats. Keep up the good work!

Praise God! I am sure that if He had a hand in it, there is a specific reason. Perhaps someone you used to work with there is now ready to come to Christ. I have a friend who prayed one day that God would teach him patience.... He was fired from his job that day (wrongfully) and spent the next 9 months patiently waiting…

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt ... One of the many reasons why I don't drink anymore ... I'm the same way... For me, it has to do with many years on a submarine. When the fans went off, this meant there was a problem in the engineroom and I would have to go help fix it. I am the youngest of 7, and was born in the…

Haagen Dazs White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.

AMEN! That's what happened to me!

I am so sorry to hear about your depression coming back, and the other setbacks you have encountered. Here are a couple of things you might try to help, both with the depression AND the weight loss. 1. consider volunteering somewhere every so often where you can help others. Perhaps a homeless shelter, battered women's…

How about slicing it up and putting it overtop of a nice caesar salad?
