Confession: Right after reading that, my mind seemed to react as though ShibaEars had just delivered the last line of dialogue in a TWD-inspired Dr Pepper commercial... and I suddenly 'heard' the words, "be a Pepper...drink Dr Pepper..." being sung (in my mind), to 'close out' the commercial... Interesting (and dare I say,…

In the Court of Extreme Defenses (a non-existent 'MFP tribunal' that I just 'made up' (for the purpose of this post ;) )), I would venture to say that your Defense Attorney might argue that even if you googled a calorie count for "breathing - while lying motionless", it would seem to not officially overlap with the BMR…

Well, in my opinion, the money saved in conjunction with 50 miles to the gallon is arguably one of the ultimate cool factors (I know what you meant, but still... ;) ). Additionally, not having to fill up as frequently (or as many times, period), is also a cool factor (and to boot, the time saved leaves more time for peanut…

I definitely wish I'd taken the time to jot down some of the more interesting dreams I've had over the years, and which include those that were 'ridiculous beyond words' ;), as well as those that were just plain wth?-like (and 'baffling' in a smh -sort of way (and I dreamed this, why?! ;) ))... though, that being said,…

Still... with it attesting to an aspect of taste (and interestingly so ;) ), I think it'd make for an unexpected, attention-getting, creative advertising campaign (perhaps 'amplified for effect' by showing a straightfaced shot of the supposed individual whose 'admission' has been shared... ;) ) :)

LOL :) No, not until now... I thank you for 'introducing' us... ;) (Oh, and I'm still laughing at how what I threw together sounds more like something out of a book of 19th Century Irish War Poetry (that is, if there were any such thing)... but, well, I wanted to kick out something asap, so, I won't kick me-self (nay ;)…

OMG... I'm laughing like a complete idiot right now... :) Yea, tho thy armies be assembled And lo, the time be nigh 'Tis but one mere shot of folly, and one boat's missing oar That stands between thy victory, and loosing the pounds of war Upon an island nearly thus, and its soon-to-be weighted shore (That 'twere rhyming…

Ditto for me, as well... and something I find particularly entertaining about them is seeing my Mom laugh so hard... it's a treat to see her laugh in the way that seems 'reserved' for 'all things autocorrect'... ;)

Either that, or the straw bent in just-the-right-wrong-way, such that a 'tear' would occur in the plastic, and any attempt to use the darn thing after that resulted in one 'sucking air'... (I ended up holding my fingers around those straws so firmly, and while positioning them 'just so', that I ended up feeling as though I…

Absolutely! That'll accomplish a form of balancing-a-teeter-totter -like bit of allowing for someone else to 'go over' their 420-calorie allotment... ;)

Would you be willing to try any other brands? -- There are several lactose-free brands of ice cream, and not all of them are made from dairy -- various non-dairy ice creams include ice creams made from coconut 'milk', rice 'milk', and soy 'milk'... An article online that included comments from someone who was…

...and at precisely 4:20pm, something amazing *must* happen... ...even if that means that we'll all need to consume 420 calories of at least one of our favorite foods at that specific moment in time...! ...and even if *that* means that people need to consume partial Peeps, candy bar fragments, cake crumbs, broken M&Ms,…
-
jlnoble513, have you ever tried lactose-free ice cream? Nowadays, there are several kinds available. That'd be worth 'testing' (so to speak)... for those who are lactose-intolerant, vomiting within 30 minutes of consuming dairy is one of the various potential symptoms (and given that you don't drink milk, there's no way to…

That made me laugh out loud... ;)

MoHousdon, I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

BZAH10, I've been wanting to try this kind of massage, but have been wary of doing so -- have you ever been injured in conjunction with a deep-tissue massage? I've read that some folks have, and it results in my being a tad nervous about the prospect of trying this form of massage.

On the upside, if they happened to be choking on something at the same time (while dragging their feet)... and if performing a Heimlich maneuver subsequently failed... you could then engage in performing an emergency tracheotomy -- with a pen -- such that a choking, Heimlich-resistant foot-dragger could then be stabbed in…

That suddenly has me thinking how 'interesting' it would be if we could each utilize personalized currency...! :) It would create one unbelievable nightmare-of-an-issue when it came to 'exchange rates', however... ;)
-
Eeeeeeeexcellent point... ;) I also wondered whether there might be a cross-contamination -based rationale, given that banana skins are not exactly 'clean'.

Various databases utilize values from the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (which is also referred to in the abbreviated fashion USDA SR-#, with the # reflecting which release version was used). In that database, they explicitly state "Nutrient values and weights are for edible portion." -- but many…

...thought I'd go ahead and post this here... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J Food Sci. 2008 Jun;73(5):H80-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1750-3841.2008.00782.x.

Basically, they were a formidable foe that could undoubtedly be referred to as being 'bada*s' (not unlike your original feelings regarding your Arsch... ;) ) (Oh, and they *did*, in fact, say to their prey, "Resistance is futile... you *will* be assimilated..." -- not unlike what your Arsch's previous incarnation perhaps…

Just_Ceci, in addition to PeachyPlum's comments, the image of that peanut-butter-lovin' canine, with his head stuck in that mongo-sized tub of peanut butter, has not only sparked my sporadically laughing out loud, when remembering such :smiley:, but has me wondering if the relevant peanut butter manufacturer's product…

Alas, I fear this may be the closest any of us ever gets to 'experiencing' a form of time travel... ;) (No, wait -- that's not true -- we get to experience a form of time travel every time a particular scent triggers sense-memory (and, well, I suppose it would also be "scents-memory" ;) )... or a particular taste triggers…

Christine, I would venture to say that you have a veritable 'congo line' of potassium ions 'dancing' their way into your stomach, prior to beginning the 'next chapter' in their lives of (biophilanthropic?) 'positive purpose' (no pun intended (for those not aware, potassium ions have a positive charge))... ;) And while…

A while back, I noticed that some chocolate milk I drank had potassium listed on the label... and given my desire to drink some milk after completing a workout, I ultimately wanted to go with non-chocolate milk, but then noticed that potassium wasn't mentioned on the label -- and I knew that given the amount of 'chocolate'…
-
I wasn't sure whether to go ahead and post a reply, given the useful link that bluworld had posted... and I didn't know whether my conveying some info regarding potassium might seem like 'too much'... but I did want to 'shine a spotlight' on its critical role in cardiac function, along with posting about my experience in…

It is with great fanfare on this side of the screen that I send forth the heartiest of congratulations, tbonethemighty! :) ...and that I inform you of how your Arsch has subsequently been a victory for all of humanity -- and thereby constitutes The Unexpected and Most Powerful NSV of the Human Race (hear me out... ;) )...…

Today I'm a nerd because... this morning, at one point while playing a word game, it occurred to me that I apparently can no longer -- nor will I ever be able to (or so it would seem) -- see the word "LORE" without thinking, "Data's brother"... there seem to no longer be 'any' synaptic connections that will 'allow for'…

ATTENTION PEANUT BUTTER LOVERS ~~~ WE INTERRUPT THIS THREAD TO BRING YOU THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT MESSAGE ~~~ PeachyPlum's post in the discussion referenced below is a 'must see'... ;) http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/32012755#Comment_32012755 :)
