This reminds me... of how, as a result of my reading so much that is written with non-American English spelling, I now find myself hesitating at times, in having to think whether a specific word *does* have a "u" in it (if/when spelled in American English (that has suddenly been rendered 'indistinct' from any British…

It's not a stupid question... and one would need to hear or see it used in a few contexts to be able to conclude the broadest 'definition' that technically applies.... ..."readers" and "reading glasses" are terms which often refer to eyeglasses with lenses that do not involve a prescription from a doctor (i.e. they're…

:) I've always found it fascinating (though ne'er before conveyed it 'aloud', until now ;) ) how various videographic and/or written works -- and especially those from childhood -- can be *the* thing we turn to, when ill, or feeling 'down', or otherwise needing to in some way be 'soothed', and in a way that only something…

Susieq_1994, I don't blame you for not wanting to try medication that was 'tossed at you' (I know what you meant) without the doctor even bothering to let you try to speak... so-called doctors like that are a bane to their profession (not to mention, any patients), in my opinion... I understand how and why various specific…

...annette_15, I just now saw this post, after having freshly posted my hot-off-the-presses 'treatise' on Italian-Buju's 'aghast-itudinousness' (<-- SO not a word! ;) ) regarding the culinary crime of pasta-icide (of all things!)... I thank you ever so much for thinking of me...

In the hereby introductarily-implemented, paraphrased-phrasing, and quasi-quoted words of Italian_Buju... ;) Being over 1000+ (as in, WAY more than that!) posts behind, due to (1) initially having been out of town, (2) feeling 'buried' by the avalanche-like deluge of posts I would need to navigate in order to 'catch up',…

I didn't see these posts prior to my reply having posted (I began to write a reply after reading each of the posts that existed at the time, got interrupted, and then finished and posted). I agree that eating at maintenance would be far, far better than what is currently being done. My post included a comment regarding my…

1) I can't believe some of the responses in this thread... 2) You definitely need to eat more (and quite honestly, it wouldn't make any sense to me for just a banana and/or coffee to somehow do the trick -- especially given what's happening with your blood sugar levels, and after 20 minutes of cardio... and coffee doesn't…

Mini -- ?! This is definitely a *major* achievement, and is absolutely terrific! Congratulations!

Yes, yes, yes... The following link is to a remarkable post that does a rather bang-up job of illustrating (via that OP's data-driven charts, and associated explanatory comments and clarification of 'context') the reality of weight fluctuation -AND- (via a second post from the OP, in that same thread) the degree to which…

Yes... that's an important point...

Yes... I think there are some important points in what you've conveyed, and I feel compelled to 'shine a light' on them -- (1) that one should definitely *not* be under the impression that only when one's body 'looks' a certain way -- or has otherwise attained a kind of 'target form', or specific lesser weight 'value' --…

Arizona and Las Vegas can both be 'hot havens' in August, depending (especially if/when in Arizona during its monsoon season)... but Chicago -- holy crap, Chicago -- Chicago in the summer (and whether a hot day in June, July, or August) involves heat being trapped between tall buildings, and when combined with humidity, is…

And wear some 'wicking' clothing, to aid in sweat evaporation...

A fine hello to you, Lorraine! Short time, no hear, my dear! :) (Oh, and truth be told... when I pretended to 'play the piano', it more resembled a form of incompetent harp playing, if I say so myself... :p ) Regarding the shortbread and ice cream diet ;) -- a hearty congratulations to you, on the post-consumption…

Oh, my, yes... holy crap... what a grand 'opposite' of most people's circumstance his is... what with his practically 'needing' to rely on all kinds of high-calorie foods to as-efficiently-as-possible replace-as-well-as-fuel-for incredible caloric losses/burns... I remember various journalists attempting to eat even a…

Well, perhaps not the logic we'd *prefer* (but not really (if that makes sense :p ))...

I somehow think that this'd be a great repurposing of ex-dollhouse utensilry... ;) (...perhaps in a kind of Tiny Spoons for Tiny Treats form of 'recycling' program...?) :) On a somewhat related note, I once found myself suddenly facing a box of new-to-me tiny chocolate chip cookies (made with nummy ingredients (e.g.…

:) I somehow couldn't help adding some narrative 'dialogue', to accompany the 'visual' triggered by the words "drowned the jar in water"... ;) ...in an apartment far, far away... Mr. Peanut's brethren found himself in the midst of a stranglehold the likes of which had only populated his worst nightmare... and there she…

We're gonna have to 'agree to disagree' on this one... lol ;) ...because the version of this ad that seems to incessantly want my eyes' attention is one in which he's holding one banana (vs. a bunch), and it appears to have had one heck-of-an-'enlargement' made to it, length- and girth-wise (and is bigger than the bunched…

That happens with me, as well... and somehow always 'surprises' me, somewhat... and despite my being able to posit various plausible theories as to 'why' such a reality occurs (i.e. stronger after being 'away' from such for a few days), I nonetheless find myself surprised anew, each and every time it happens... :) (...it's…

:) ...not lame, spamarie -- practically accurate, is all (regarding the looks tasty and is zero calories)... :p A: Hi... have you heard about the latest 'fad diet'...? B: No... oh, my... what is it *this* time...? A: It's called the Dollhouse Miniature Food Diet -- it's actually pretty cool! B: What the...? A: It's…

Congratulations! :)

True... then it'd be FH, would it not...? ;)

LOL ;) I know what you mean... ...and I swear, when I read the word "cleanse" -- in the context of non-eating 'eating' ;) -- all I can think is, "diarrhea as a weight loss 'method'... hmmm..." -- which then gets the playful side of me thinking a Shakespearean 'version' thereof -- "...dehydration by any other name would…

Oh, my! Susieq_1994, is there *anything* you *can't* do (?), you wondrous dynamo, you...! -- you have mastered the use of tiny utensils... you can create culinary concoctions from flour and duct tape :p... AND you *write short stories* -- !!! (Hey, it just occurred to me... you have a special combination of talents that…

...casual conversation overheard at the precinct... So, quiksylver296... you have an astonishing ability to spot shoplifters... to what do you attribute that special skill...? Just lucky, I guess... Well, no... I beg to differ... suspicions you've had regarding such for over 18 years now have been 'spot on' -- that's more…

LMAO :) (...and how about "Reunited", by Peaches & Herb, for when I *do* indulge... ;) ) I've taken the liberty to grab a copy of the lyrics, and have made only a few substitutions to this highly apropos duet... ;) (Oh, and as luck would have it, the first comment associated with one of the you-know-who-tube videos is the…

redd_87, just a quick comment... I've gotten some great deals on workout equipment (including weights) from thrift stores... it's obviously 'hit or miss', and one never knows when one might happen to chance upon something that would be found useful for a given individual... however, I've gotten some great deals, and they…

With me, it's the banana -- because it's so otherworldly, impossibly large, girthwise (good grief, I SO do not intend for this to sound... well... you know)... and all I can think is, "what tree did THAT grow on...?! -- because nothing like that has ever made it to any grocery store I've ever been in..." -- it's almost…
