  • Ach, you're probably right. I think of social media as the here's my profile, look at photos of me type of thing. But posting to a message board is a form of social interaction just the same. I forgot NextDoor. I joined, in an uncharacteristic hiccup of neighbourly warmth, and I've never been back on it. I get…
  • Let me preface this by saying that I'm of an age where "social media" didn't even exist until I was in my 30s. I couldn't get into Facebook at all although I do still have a profile. It seemed boring and pointless to me. I think I have about 36 friends and only really care to look at stuff posted by two of them because…
  • This is mine too. I'm late to becoming a fan of this show so I have years and years of episodes to catch up on. It's also helpful for me to learn about UK real estate since I'm going to be moving there.
  • I have the same leggings as the Buff Muff model. And there the resemblance ends. I'm also not motivated by the skeletal appearance of the 5-second coffee hack lady. Yikes.
  • I've seen ads for Fanka leggings but never that one. And, as any of us who have ever worn any sort of compression or shapewear garment know, the flesh doesn't get squished inward so much and you end up with bulges where the garment stops. I'm still looking for the one that squishes it all the way up to boob level. * *I'm…
  • Cored pineapple because I can't be bothered fighting with a whole one, a pound of strawberries because they looked decently ripe, and some multigrain light rye bread….. ….While I was waiting for my pizza. Which I'd already paid for so the groceries were technically the last things I bought.
  • For the record, I have paw print tattoos and rarely eat oatmeal. When I do it's Scottish porridge oats, not Quaker. Nor do my britches fall off in the kitchen. Thankfully.
  • Ditto. Also much cuter than me.
  • I can't sleep with noises or, paradoxically, silence. If it's too quiet my brain is constantly straining to hear a noise, any noise. I have three dogs so there is almost never complete silence at home, one of them is always shifting or sighing or snoring. Then I'm on high alert waiting for the next shift/sigh/snore. I use…

  • Ibuprofen and cheap Laura Secord chocolate bars.
  • I hope they didn't pay a lot of money for that lousy Photoshop. And I want to know what's going on with her pelvic bones in the right-most image. She looks like a mannequin with a removable leg. Never mind that flat chest is sure gonna sell the program to women everywhere.
  • I've always hated McDonald's french fries. They just taste like old fryer grease to me and they're usually unpleasantly gritty with salt. I can't remember the last time I ate there though. It's probably been well over 10 years since I've had anything more than a sundae or a shake. A&W is awesome, they'll put a meatless…
  • Everybody IS so different! I eat 0 to 4 eggs a month and I don't think there are any particularly high offenders in the rest of my diet (I'm pescetarian with a heavy reliance on plant-based food). When I started tracking sat fat I was usually in the 10 - 15 range daily and I think the recommended daily max was 20. I did…
  • Interesting. Glad you've had success with it! I started berberine because I'd seen reliable sources saying that there was some evidence it reduced cholesterol. A year ago I did my annual bloodwork and my dr sent me an email advising me my cholesterol was getting high, and to reduce saturated fat and sugar. Sat fat wasn't…
  • Yes you need to squat, for the reasons outlined by both Claireychn and Ann. It doesn't have to be a weighted gym-based squat but you need to preserve that mobility and function. I'm a natural squatter, it's always been my position of choice for doing lower level things like getting something from a bottom shelf or…
  • Oh, I know, I bought my first bag yesterday. I don't look at the nutrition label. Ignorance is bliss and all that. What I did look at was the weight, because the bag didn't look quite as big as last year. Sure enough, a bag that used to be 900 and some odd grams (943?) is now 875. And more expensive. So we have…
  • I'm in that minority with you then. I can't stand Oreos. I've even tried some of the fancy special limited edition flavour varieties and they all taste like weird gritty overly sweetened cardboard. And if you all had any idea of how much sugar I eat, you'd wonder how I managed to find anything overly sweetened. But Oreos…
  • IV fluids and whatever else they pumped into you. I needed emergency surgery in early 2021. Didn't know I would be getting surgery so I didn't remove my rings before heading to Emergency. They asked me to take them off before the op but there was no way those rings, which are normally pretty loose, were coming off my…
  • Awww, I want to give you a big virtual hug! That makes me so sad. Did we have the same mother? I got "Well you're not pretty but if you worked at it you could have a nice personality." Incidentally, her idea of a nice personality was one like her own, a complete people-pleasing doormat totally submissive to men. I was "too…
  • Oh. My. Lord. Any excuse to be an exhibitionist, eh? Although I'd potentially fall for an offer of a corgi puppy pic so no judgement here! [scammer dudes: do NOT FR me and pretend to be corgi owners!] I've never had any identifying photo on here. It's mostly the alpaca, think I might have had a bicep up for a wee bit. So I…
  • No graphic as I was scrolling the Gram and neglected to screenshot but I got an ad for (I think) fancy marathon runner shoes. I guess these ones are designed with a bigger? better? toe box because the main message seemed to be that they were toe-sparing in some way. So we had a handsome young blond surfer dude narrating,…
  • Okay. I need to know. Was this feat accomplished entirely in one sitting (pun not intended)? How does she know it was 6 kg? Did she weigh the poop itself or weigh herself before and after? Does the average household plumbing deal with that degree of output adequately? I'm assuming a visual inspection was sufficient to…
  • Ahem. You first! :smiley:
  • I don't even see any posts in some of the older/longer threads, just a double row of page numbers that you normally find at the bottom of each page. Same issue on both phone and laptop however I'm using the browser version on both so maybe a Chrome thing? Yeah. We don't need the newsfeed because we've got the forums. Yeah.
  • Eight 25L bags of soil. Because my dogs have apparently eaten the six bags I've already distributed around the yard.
  • The Premium version adds no value to my use of MFP but I'd pay a fee to keep my Newsfeed. And it was an opportunity to hit me with at least one ad so there's potential for revenue there.
  • Same. Ironically, I only learned of the Newsfeed's impending demise from a friend's post on.... wait for it.... my Newsfeed. Irony #2 is that there are a few people on this thread who I probably should have friended long ago but, gee, there isn't any point in doing so now.
  • Well said! I have a small, carefully selected group of friends on here and few have any connection to one another. The newsfeed is one of the features I use daily and enjoy seeing updates of what my friends are doing. I rarely have time for the boards these days. I was hoping for enhancements to the feed so I could finally…
  • A 3 lb bag of lemons. I'd have preferred just a couple but they had no loose bulk ones. I don't even like lemon. They're for my dog. She's an incorrigible counter surfer who has managed to snag a ton of stuff when I'm out of the house, even though nothing is left on the front 2/3 of any of the counters. She's also managed…
  • Passed up a new purse yesterday at lunch. Leather. All kinds of compartments and pockets to keep my crap organized. Big enough to throw in more crap, even my tablet, which would come in handy next month when I travel. (Then my current purse annoyed me again today, like it has ever since I started using it, so I went back…
