TOMATOES! I rarely ever order anything in a restaurant with fresh tomatoes because they always seem to taste like a tennis ball (or styrofoam). The difference between a nicely ripe tomato out of someone's garden and what you get served at a restaurant is as pronounced as the difference between a fresh homemade waffle and a…

That said.....if you are already a fan of cauliflower, by all means look into it. But if you're just looking for a more healthy style of pizza, there are better alternatives (thin crust, more veggies, light cheese--or the near impossible for most people--just eat a slice or two instead of 6.) ETA: not meaning to imply that…

I might if I could be convinced it would not end up being a second Roanoke colony....

How dirty are ya'll who mention that you can't stand sitting in your own filth? I can understand preferring a shower over a bath, but not because of a reason like that. Takes all kinds, I guess. :laugh:

"Well, there's egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg, bacon and spam; egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam; spam, sausage, spam, spam, bacon, spam, tomato and spam" [Personally I like fried spam with mustard or cooked with pineapple and white…

Definitely one of my favorites too!

Black field crickets. I once was trapped in the aquarium section in a pet store, innocently looking at fish when I realized right next to me was a big clear pannier with a lid full of crickets (food for lizards etc). I was paralyzed with fear and was embarrassed at the same time. To get out I would have had to walk past…

1. If you refer to your boyfriend as an a**hole, there is no reason---aside from extremely poor decision-making on your part---why you should still logically still be with him. You clearly have no respect or liking for him any longer, whether justifiably or not. Case closed. 2. A**hole comment aside, a man dumb enough to…

I thought about putting my above comment in some sort of indicative brackets indicating sarcasm font but decided against it out of laziness. Let the chips fall where they may! And I must say that I am a fan of the word "sarcasmometer"--that's a new one on me and it definitely will have a place in my speech from now…

Hmmmm. you don't need to shout. And while I can appreciate bacon jokes, the other two are a wee bit vulgar and have nothing to do with bacon, grilled cheese, tomatoes, or diet Coke. In fact, perhaps another forum on another site might address those topics to your satisfaction. Just doing my best (for once) to keep everyone…

I've always been interested in this too... I'm not any kind of hyphenation, since both sides of my family have been in America for hundreds of years, with the exception of my paternal great-great-grandfather who came from Germany almost 150 years ago. An interesting corollary to this is that my mother (who was born in the…

These are some signs of co-dependent behavior [from http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2013/04/04/signs-of-codependence-codependent-behavior/] • Taking responsibility for someone else’s actions • Worrying or carrying the burden for others’ problems • Trying to solve someone else’s problems, or trying to change someone…

Okay...I think you have crossed the line here into being co-dependent. If something happens to his health, it is on his head, not yours. You have tried to get him involved in being active and that's all you can do: offer and invite him to join you. If his health suffers because he has chosen to disregard your invites, then…

Quite honestly, I was surprised when I started using weights (I only use dumbbells, a kettlebell and machines because I have just started this myself) that I could lift more than I thought. I started with 5 pounds too, just because I had read in magazines that that was what women were supposed to do. The thing is, women…

I agree 100%. :drinker: Honestly, I cannot see how you would have the energy to work out that long eating as little as you do! Seriously, eat back your exercise calories, log your food correctly, don't overestimate how many calories you burn and give anything Dr. Oz endorses a wide berth. There is no supplement or pill…

I read that stuff too and ignore it.

And this little anecdote is adding to your credibility HOW?

Is it me, or does every item in those parfaits looks as if it were made of plastic? That doesn't even look like real food! :noway:

Me too. :laugh:

Maybe this is the magic trick, as someone suggested:

I've been off Facebook for a little over a year--and I never liked it as much as I did MySpace, either! Too bad everyone evacuated MySpace for Facebook.... There are several things about Facebook I don't like: --way too much crap in my newsfeed (and way too much trouble trying to streamline it to only show posts from…

I am not the original poster of this statement, but I *think* that what they meant was "I don't like it. It's too much like jazz [IN THAT IT] has no melody or continuity (just my opinion)." I don't think they meant that it *sounded* like Jazz at all, just that the structure (seemingly lack of melody or continuity) was…

And I am all about logic: thank you!

I think it is only true for some people--and I would say roughly half (no formal or informal study, just strictly my opinion). How many people are on MFP because they put their foot down and got serious about losing weight because their kid/wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/etc bluntly pointed out that they were fat? I…

That's fantastic! I wondered how many I could do so I tried...and I managed 3! :laugh:

Some women are just crazy...that's what it's called.

I'm calling shenanigans.

Seriously....don't do it. :explode: Please. It doesn't matter what your schedule is--mowing the lawn at 6 AM is simply being inconsiderate to your neighbors.
