  • well, if it is really severe, it's probably worth getting a check up, as well as having any current meds evaluated for side effects, etc. LOtta meds, (even eyedrops) can influence one's memory. as can mental pause. but yeah, me and my pal both went through mental pause, both of us felt some amt of shock, as neither of us…
  • Rum and diet coke. NO carbs, NO sugars, and it is only 65 calories for an 8 oz glass (1 ounce rum + 8 oz diet coke). Vodka also has no carbs, no sugars. Add lime to cut the sweetness down til you get used to such sweetness. Also nice, it can be tweaked to control your buzz, made (stronger or weaker.) Also, when i want a…
  • OH one more, NAPA CABBAGE beats any other green for salads, imo.......hands down. It's got just a very faint dash of a spicey-ish taste, (mild) and it is WAYyyy crunchier and holds up better under dressings than most any green i've ever tried, doesn't wilt in the bowl or anything..... ........even seems to last a bit…
  • this! I've always loved veggies, used to be vegetarian, but TOTALLY go nutters for roasted veggies, never made them that way before, and plan to make some more roasted broccolli tonite,...brushed with EVOO, sprinkled with some crushed garlic, a squirt or two of lemon, and 20ish minutes in hot oven. THANK YOU AGAIN to…
  • i am still using up my frozen patties here, and although i made them TOO thick, (mushy-ish inside) i found, i can take a frozen one, cook it on high heat in a nonstick pan, with a lid.. as it cooked, i sprayed a large spoon with cooking spray, and flattened that burger down, down, down, so it was thinner. and thinner. then…
  • BUMP!! AND THAT ONE like so so many others, sounds DELISH!!! I've just bought my first ever bottle of butter-flavored cooking spray, LOVE IT!! Wow, allll the calories i am saving, all the pan-"fried" items i can now have again!!!!!! Actually, so so much easier to cook with, than butter ever was...... YESssss!! :heart:…
  • I am copying this from another member, from another thread, I have not yet made it, but the original poster said it's quite good, and only 20 minutes to make it:
  • did your itchy "insect crawling" sensation begin before or after you began black cohosh? Not everyone agrees that black cohosh is safe, and the recommended dosages have recently been reduced: (read page TWO of this thread, and do google "side effects of black cohosh" you could be messing up your liver, among other things)…
  • Why no one teaches women that as we approach mentalpause, that heavy bleeding can occur, is a mystery to me. Near as i can tell, few women seem aware this heavy heavy bleeding can occur right before periods cease. I also experienced such drastic bleeding, it was off the hook, just had to wear tampon AND multiple pads and…
  • SUCH a great thread, wish more and more ppl would reply, just great posts, one after the other.....so many very clever ideas!!!!! holycrapola, that looks SOoooooooooo good, so so very good, and done in 20 minutes?? i am so going to try that one, nice time of year for chili is just around the corner.....
  • OH, we posted at same time! i like your post, and hope for your continued progress and health and enjoyment of life!! Go Skudsister!! yeah, that is GREAT point, about rehydrating after one imbibes, i think that is so important. Occasionally, i find the glass of wine helps me loose water when i have eaten too much salt and…
  • I am currently on strict budget, can not afford top shelf wines. I've always preferred white wines, specifically a wine from a local lovely winery, not too too far from my home, to support my local economy,:laugh: lol, i'd drink Tabor Hill Demi Sec,..........lovely wine for about $8 per bottle, light and crisp. NO idea if…
  • I AGREE WITH THE OP!!!:drinker: Yes, there are multiple studies all indicating a nightly GLASS*** of wine is beneficial to one's health. (***to poster above, note, the word GLASS, not bottle, is used. There is no argument whatsoever, that overdosing on any type of booze, has deleterious effects on one's health. Frequently…

  • Even though christianity IS losing power, has mostly lost it's control of most govts, has reduced cashflow, and decreasing in numbers in countries where birth control is available and legal,i still don't think the 1/4 to 1/3 of the world who worship the biblegods, will ever stop passing on the biblegods to their…
  • Maradot, i think probably you and i agree on more than we disagree about:bigsmile: :drinker: :smile: , i *think* the main differences you and i have, (and i could be wrong) is that you seem to see religion as a "good" thing, and you also seem to think of CIVIL laws as same thing as religious laws.(or, maybe the other way…
  • The fall of the roman empire? Fear of eternal damnation? The worship of roman gods was not real well organized, either. Keep in mind, ppl then, like ppl today, inherited their gods from their parents, from the society they grow up in. The gods popular in the middle east, were a lil different from the gods of europe at that…
  • I use free "Playlist.com":heart: http://www.playlist.com :heart: to create a music list of my favorite songs (drawback, occasionally a song you listed will later have a broken link:cry: and you DO have search out songs by name and "add" them) EVEN BETTER is the free "Pandora Music STation":heart: :heart: :heart:…
  • btw, who here got disgusted when all our 8tracks had to be replaced and then, all our music on vinyl had to be replaced....... and then all our music on cassettes had to be replaced...... and now, all our CDs are becoming dinosaurs in favor of mp3 format................. with each change, i lost more music, unable to…
  • LOVE ALL THE REPLIES, LOVE THIS WHOLE THREAD!!!:smile: <has seen the Doobies twice, and after their break-up, I saw the 'other' leftover Doobies once, {as well as Michael McDonald gone solo, in a very small venue on Cape Codin that tent, where you are never more than about 100? feet away from singer, awesome!} LOVED the…
  • Thanks for reply:smile: . I so agree! :drinker: I dislike religious ppl saying with authority that they "know" what happens when we die. Cuz they don't. I also agree, and said same thing myself on some other thread in another of MFP's atheist groupsthat if believing we go to a dead ppl party or eternal firepits, comforts a…
  • this is indeed what we are told the world's religions are supposed to do, and your idea IS widely believed........so much so, that it is rarely even questioned, "religions are good".(?) but the net effect of religion is usually the opposite. The more religious, the worse the effect, too. Religions are almost always…
  • my diary is open, (wide open, whyever not? ) Isn't that why we are here? to focus on fitness? I don't even understand why anyone would NOT have their diary open...but whatever. but, my food diary is not a very good role model, especially lately. (hangs head) shiver. i have gone hog wild a time or two,----:blushing: and had…
  • and when you DO meet kindred spirits, INVITE THEM OVER for dinner, cookout, picnic, card game, bonfire, whatever you like. .......or invite them to meet you somewhere next weekend....a concert, a play, a pub that has a great band, golfing, whatever YOU like to do. ...get their phone numbers. be outgoing, ask for their…
  • I LOVE your meetup group idea, too, great idea!!!:bigsmile: Great way to make friends, and get a group together to do stuff together. GO FOR IT!!!!!!! Also, if you are interested in finding ppl to date,:heart: :drinker: consider joining one of those online dating sites.:flowerforyou: They even have sites specificallyfor…
  • OHhhh, sorry, i misunderstood, headline and all, and i thought the OP was remarking about older ppl who never develop a taste for NEW MUSIC. :laugh: :blushing: NOW, i realize, the OP wants to locate places where her age groups hangs out? Is that right? OHhhhhhh There are always certain pubs and restaurants with older…
  • I love all types of music, very veyr much!! I do not always enjoy concerts or festivals which are predominately young, so although i might love that band, i might not show up to that band's concert. Sometimes i much enjoy the company of wall-to-wall young ppl, other times, i feel older by comparison. Guess it depends on my…
  • aw geez, sometimes, on MFP, the one side gets cropped off, not sure why (proof of god, a theist might say, lol) here is another attempt to get the ENTIRE posted to show up:
