As for me... I have an aversion to what would seem to be "classic" oatmeal -- I find it to be gloopy, gloppy, and gross (and gagnonimously (!) "gruel"-like)... regular oatmeal reminds me of a sludge-like paper pulp that got left out in the rain (yum! ;) )... I am also not a fan of steel-cut oats (for a few reasons).…

Worry not thy mind, fellow MFPer... thou art not alone in said feeling(/response)(/mortification)... and 'twould seem a clarion-like heralding from an oracle atop storm-infested mountains, and issued forth with glowering mange... (?!) ...that though thou lookest higheth and loweth (<-- lo, 'tis a fine spittance of archaic…

I do enjoy the Siggi's brand of Icelandic Skyr that's sold here in the U.S., and have been glad to see it finally arrive on shelves of 'regular' grocery stores (the only original option in this area was Whole Foods, and it was quite pricey), but the sugar content associated with my favorite 'flavored' option (vanilla)…

1) I got a chuckle out of the fact that the absence of a comma after "Sorry" results in "Sorry to be clear" then sounding as though 'twere an apology for being clear... lol ;) (...and is simply one example of the many pleasures of language which result from all manner of inadvertency... including -- among the multitude of…

I have never been able to do such a thing (even back in high school, in the 'community' shower that was available after gym class (and I'd venture to say that it would have felt horrifyingly foreign, and intensely uncomfortable, to even consider engaging in such 'semi-public nudity' at any other point during my…

Yep, I agree... I regret my post not being more clear regarding the fact that I was referring to those exhibiting the type(s) of behavior(s) associated with what was conveyed by the OP, and which would be considered highly unwelcome, disturbing, and completely inappropriate...

@TheVirgoddess, if Metformin alone were any sort of panacea for insulin resistance, and pre-diabetes -- let alone, if it were a sole factor to such significant weight loss (which IR would seem to do its darndest to 'fight tooth and nail') -- it would be considered a form of 'magic bullet' that millions would find success…

@festerw, am glad that you aren't like, and that you don't know or otherwise hang around with, guys like that... @Just_Ceci, not surprisingly, there are also men like that who are not vocal about it... or who are otherwise smart enough to 'keep it under wraps'... or who would seemingly only 'share' such crap with 'others…

:) ...in reading your wonderful description of seagulls, I suddenly find myself thinking of a store that I occasionally go to, and which is close enough to the water that seagulls fly and hover about (and pick at remnants of littered food in the parking lot)... and as I make my way into that store, I cannot help thinking,…

Oh, my... I can only imagine how uniquely beautiful a Black Lab / Irish Setter mix would be... and to have the flags and tail that a Setter has -- ! -- Wow... that would definitely have been a dog that 'stood out'... ...and as much as I cannot fathom how total strangers would go up to anyone to offer to buy their dog (OMG!…

& for good measure (& as per someone else's tactic, from earlier in the thread), spray it with some Windex... That being said... for those with garbage disposals, this could perhaps be an unforeseen-by-the-manufacturer use of such (bonus: not only would it 'whir' the dickens out of the food in question, but it would also…

FUNKY CONFESSION: Earlier today, after scrolling to the end of an online news article, there was an ad for a medication I'd never heard of... and one which I wouldn't be paying attention to... except -- immediately prior to closing the browser window, my eyes happened to catch a glimpse of a few of the words from the ad...…

Not only a great first post, but arguably one of the all-time greatest opening lines of any post... ever. ;)

As of late, this thread has been 'populated' with a bevy of beautiful dogs (it's making me melt)... :) ...and I've always wondered what an Irish Setter/Lab mix might look like (they're two of my favorite breeds) -- so beautiful!

LMAO :) (...trying to catch up on this thread, after being 'behind' in even the remotest sense, can begin to feel like walking up a going-down escalator... ;) ) (...and if further behind, it can seem like walking with lead boots... up a sand dune... filled with quicksand... ;) ) (...but as for me, whose behind-edness (am…

Yep... it was exhausting enough even without a breastfeeding aspect (I honestly don't know how women with multiples can handle such a circumstance if breastfeeding... having it be possible at all, from the standpoint of time, is one thing (and a feat worthy of some sort of breastfeeding logistics Olympic medal, at that…

A close relative of mine was unable to breastfeed her premie multiples, and each of those multi-month premies turned out just fine (better than, in fact)... ...riderfangal, please don't feel guilty... premature or not, the little munchkins can get what they need, and do very, very well...

In the body's 'defense', I would hasten to remind thee (listen to me soundin' all from-another-era -y ;) (let alone, as though a 'lawyer' representing your body-as-'defendant' (lol))... that your body just might have had its own positive-intent agenda (to benefit you, and with your best interests at heart (no cardio pun…

...am hoping that my not having any idea who is being referred to -- and issuing a public declaration thereof -- can perhaps 'balance out', or otherwise 'counteract', any bad karma teeter-totter... ;) (...maybe that's just one of many potential 'upsides' of inadvertently having missed various subsets of the thread (and…

O. M. G. That... is SUCH a disgusting visual(/thought/scenario/nightmare)... Oh, how I wish that it were possible to unread that... (where's that selective memory suppressant measure from The Blacklist, when ya need it...?! ;) )

Why, oh, why did they not have that available when I was a kid?!! Oh, I would have loved it so... :) and truth be told, I likely would have mixed in some Cocoa Krispies, to amp up the chocolate 'vibe', while also throwing in some 'smash-crunch', and slam-dunking a chocolate-milk outcome... ;)

Oh, my... am curious as to whether that version also happens to be "magically delicious"... ;) ...so what exactly did they do? -- did they chocolate-ize the 'cereal-cereal' bits (?), or (and?) add some chocolate marshmallows (?)...

Holy cow... it's as though you've just described some sort of lost episode of "Outer Limits"... lol ;)

WOW... they've incorporated SO much into the game! ...that's amazing... Thank you for all of the info... (WHAT a GAME!)

...is there a Sims police force at play (no pun intended) -- ? -- is there a chance that anyone trying to catch a ghost in someone else's house could be charged with B&E (?)... (I have no idea to what 'limit' the game gets taken, in the context of any of so many potential (and virtualized) 'realities'...) Whoa... (who…

W. T. H. ?!!! OMG Holy crap! I already found the concept of Sim-dom to be interesting, when I first heard of such, many years ago -- however, this is another freakin' ballgame, I do declare... the aforementioned 'choreographed nightmare' (lol :) ), which offers disturbingly informative clarifying detail (if ever there were…

Oh, my, yes... I, as well, enjoy said responses, and find them highly entertaining... :) ...and from among them all... the post with "FFS" simply 'hangin' in the wind', as a lone, eyeroll-accompanied, tone-of-voice-infused-with-frustration, to-the-point, first-initials-mashed-up form of 'middle finger'... resulted in my…

:) ...between restaurant meal 'post-mortems', kebab dissection, and a recent thread's mention of a donut exorcism, I think we've got nearly all bases covered, at this point, when it comes to the…

missy5290, take a look at the following post, and especially the posts from the OP... among multiple aspects touched upon by the OP (and accompanied by explanatory info), his posts include an informative 'highlighting' of 'spikes' in weight... and his second post, in particular, is specific to -- "What if your weekly or…

Me, too... I didn't begin doing so until about a year ago -- on the day when it occurred to me, when noting that the yogurt I'd just pulled from the fridge (from an original 'stock' of several 1000g containers I'd purchased, and of which one had inadvertently been 'hidden' near the back of the bottom shelf) had a date that…
