I did it for about 6 weeks in college for a study. I never had any problems with it because they provided the food on the days I took it, and the fat content was way below the 25 gram limit. But I got a letter in the mail a few months after being in the study informing me that it can cause severe liver issues. I haven't…

I just started a new job Monday, so I called to see if we were open. We are, but everyone who is training me called off, so my supervisor told me to stay home. I plan on cleaning, rearranging my living room furniture, and cooking. Already got my workout in, so now I'm just chilling with my hookah and reading until I decide…

I had this happen to me once, too. My meal was like 10 bucks, and I gave the server (who was absolutely terrible, btw) a 20. She didn't come back until I flagged her down and asked for my change. She said, "Oh, I thought that was my tip. I'll have to go get it." I replied with, "you're kidding me, right? I watched you d*ck…

I actually had really good service when I was in Paris. We went to the same restaurant twice because the food was so good, and we got the same waiter both times. He spoke english, which was super helpful because my french is atrocious. He even sat at our table and coached me on how to pronounce some of the words correctly,…

QFT. As a host, I get yelled at (YELLED AT) for this. "Well, I count 15 empty tables, why do I have to wait?!" If they were particularly sh*tty, I ask them how many servers they count. But now I just hand out the scheduling manager's business card and tell them he would love to hear their concerns. He was not pleased. So…

D. I wear dresses almost exclusively when I'm not in PJ's (which are elastic). I have one pair of jeans that never get worn, and a pair of black pants that I will be burning in effigy when I start my new job on the 3rd. Joining the effigy pile will be my name tag and the oh so flattering white oxford shirts I had to wear.…

I tried reading it. I got through the first book and half of the second. Not my bag. I'm all for kink, but it was pretty vanilla imo.But I'm 26 and have spent A LOT of time on the internet :tongue: Plus, as other people have mentioned, it was originally Twilight fanfiction made over with a search and replace of character…

I haven't taken a class yet, but I do it on the wii. There are a few lady instructors and one lone dude. And the dude usually does the salsa type moves from what I've seen. He does one dance though, that is super feminine and showy and he just looks..weird. It throws me off my game to see him sashay around like he's at a…

I have my license(since April of 2011), but sadly no bike. I learned on a TINY Suzuki 150, and it was still almost too tall for me. So I want one like this: That's a Suzuki 250 and it's adorable, while also being smallish and fast enough. I'm pretty sure the one I learned on couldn't break 25 mph downhill with a tailwind…

Hai gurl hai!

I second the knives. There are a lot of things in the kitchen I'll forgo expensiveness on, but quality knives are a must have. And a good sharpener, too. Enameled cast iron dutch ovens are also in my top 5. I got mine a couple years ago for like 20 bucks, and I use it ALL THE TIME. You can use them for soups, pastas,…

I usually use agave nectar. It has the same calorie count as can sugar, but it's supposedly sweeter so you use less. I don't know how true that claim is, but I definitely use it on waffles, as it tastes like syrup to me on its own. Can't tell in coffee, though. Lately I've been on a maxwell house mocha latte kick. 1 1/3…

Love it. I'm going to swipe the inlaw's treadmill and set up my own. Plan to never leave the house getting closer and closer...

I can dig it. I figured it was the title-I misread it as using 100% natural MFP, which I thought was a clever dig on all those scammy supplement posts that have been popping up lately. Either way, OP, congrats on your weight loss!

Why not? It was a great video.

Christmas Vacation, definitely. We have a family tradition of getting everyone together to watch it and busting out THREE (3!) deep fryers and making a fried feast buffet. Jalapeno poppers, eggrolls, hushpuppies, pierogies, the works. I will not be counting calories on that day. Come to think of it, that's probably why I'm…

I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but maybe try a crab and corn chowder? http://www.healthy-delicious.com/2010/09/crab-and-corn-chowder/ I haven't made this personally, but it looks pretty solid and if made as directed, should clock in at under 200 calories a serving. You could also sub another cup of…

[/quote] so they should work for free just for the love of the company and to help it make more money? [/quote] YES! Not. I work in a restaurant, and before the servers are let on to the floor they have a little chat with the managers about their expectations for the day. One day, I overheard the managers telling the…

That wasn't the implication at all! The point of my response is that some people don't have the aptitude for the jobs currently in demand, so they don't pursue an education in those fields. My husby pursued pharmacy because he loves it, and has the intelligence/skill set/drive to. My brother got his apprenticeship because…

And I agree wholeheartedly with that. But not every person is suited for the jobs that are in demand. I hate math, for example, so engineering and finance (two jobs that are conceivably always in demand) are not something I could/would pursue. Does that mean I should be regulated to fast food/hospitality? Of course not. I…

And you are obviously unaware of how common it is to rack up thousands in student loan debt and STILL be unable to find a job that pays well. And I'm not just talking about the degrees that are essentially useless, either.

THIS. I'm glad I'm not the only one in this situation. Not everyone who works these kinds of jobs are uneducated and unmotivated. Sometimes you have to play the hand you're dealt until you can draw a better one.

My point (and perhaps I should have stated it in my original post) was that an increase in a particular business over decades is not necessarily indicative of a fad, but reflective of the needs of the increasing population over time.

So by that logic, I'm guessing you would consider the likely 500% increase of fast food restaurants, grocery stores, car dealerships, and big box retail chains a "fad" too.

I forgot to make the above point: If you want to get the shot, be my guest. Because that's what makes you feel safer/better/whatever. I don't get it because it doesn't make me feel that way. Plus I'm kind of anti-shot (and note NOT anti-vac) anyway... with the one exception of getting a tetanus shot in college to be able…

I DID have influenza. And I know this because apparently (10 years ago) they had a test for it where they shoved a very long qtip up a short nasal cavity (probably the most painful part of the ordeal). And I didn't vomit, not once. It was more upper respiratory. And no, IC's don't have signs on their heads indicating it.…

Sounds like my husband's plan. He's a pharmacist and is always nagging me to let him give me one. I've never had the shot, and I've only have the actual flu once that I can recall. It was pretty bad, but not as bad as watching Osmosis Jones during it and being convinced I was going to die. I've got a pretty solid immune…

+1000 likes. I never met a cheese I didn't like. I have 6 different cheeses in my fridge right now. Which is probably why I'm here
