Multiple alarms and multiple snoozes

Makes me think of this. NB: These magazines are produced by separate publishers. It's not one publisher making two different magazines.

We usually take trips to the North. Where is your God now?

I played laser tag with my 2 younger sons - dads played free and we had a great time with lots of other families. Later we made grilled pizza, where I learned that my whole family besides me are heathens who like feta on pizza. I'm still shook. Beer helped, though.

I eyeball it. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Out of curiosity, I tried the little quiz that popped up in one of their mobile ads. I got to these two questions and noped out of there:

OK, this is silly, and I'm dating myself, but it is Friday. So... Does anyone else remember the episode of Saturday Night Live where Steve Martin played a Romaine lettuce spokesperson as a contestant on Family Feud? His family was playing against the Coneheads. "Romaine Lettuce!" was his answer to all the questions.

Yeah, didn't want to go in that direction. Your digestive system doesn't really "know" anything, and just applies a set of chemical and physical processes to whatever is introduced to it.

Plus to be honest you're not going to find proper grocery stores near touristy areas. The real estate is too valuable. Most of the grocery stores tend to be in lower cost areas near residences.

Not picking on you, OP, as I've heard this statement before. But it just baffles me. If your body doesn't "know what to do" with something, it doesn't default to digesting it and storing it as fat! If I eat something that my body truly can't process, like a piece of teflon, it just...doesn't get digested, and passes…

OK, I know this is a necro, but I saw this version of the above and really liked it:

You're getting lectured constantly "for hours on end" by a significant other? A partner, an equal, who supposedly loves you?

I know what is right, yet I do what is wrong.

Angel food cake is low calorie. It's kind of a pain to make, although depending on how invested you are there are even box versions. It's not that hard, though - I make one for Mrs Jruzer's birthday most years. You just have to be careful separating the eggs, and use a hand mixer instead of a whisk.…

Yes. Go for it.

I have written previously that I act as if I have have "obesity in remission". Seven years in, I still exhibit many of the behaviors and tendencies that caused me get obese in the first place. That's part of the reason I never can quite stay at my goal weight. That said, I do find that some of that mindset is fading. The…

You're right, of course, @amusedmonkey. When posters, especially new posters, ask about "healthy", they almost always mean "lowest calorie". Although occasionally they are looking for ways to add micronutrients. That said, I think there's value in asking the question "What do you mean by 'healthy'?" It may help the poster…

I just guesstimate quantities used and absorbed. It's hard to be more precise than that without weighing. And weighing marinated meat is a messy, unsanitary business. Plus then some of the marinade falls into the fire or gets burned off. Hence guesstimating.

Agreed. This is one of the best things I've read on these forums.

Did you cut out caffeinated soda, or sugary coffee drinks?

Ours weren't ready for it until about 3. With our oldest, we tried all kinds of cajoling: potty charts with tiered rewards, special underwear, all the usual things. With our second, we didn't really push him as much and he more or less figured it out on his own. They were both about the same age. Numbers 3 and 4 were…

My 11-year-old son is working on his Tenderfoot rank. :wink:
