What do you call a fish with no eyes? ..... A fsh Why can't you hear a pterodactyl going to the bathroom? ..... Because the 'P' is silent. Where did Napoleon keep his armies? ..... In his sleevies Two dyslexics walk into a bra...... :wink:

I usually just steam them with some garlic and onions, except the tomatoes :)

As someone who has struggled through depression and come out in a better place, I can empathize with what you're feeling. My depression hit hardest when I had the life I want - loving family, children, house, and a career I love. It made no sense. Unfortunately that's the way it works sometimes. Some of the things I found…

I was going to suggest yoga as well. I was leery at first, but I have now been going to a weekly class for a year and a half, and my muscles and joints feel 10 years younger! It doesn't happen overnight; as with weight loss, the effects are cumulative over time and repitition of good habits :smile: Specifically for hips,…

"When science fails to find an explanation for a phenomenon, superstition and quackery rush in to fill the void." -Dr. Joe Scwarcz For those that haven't heard of him, he's a chem professor at McGill University in Canada. Like Bill Nye, he debunks myths and misconceptions. His books are freakin' hilarious. Many of the…

I just checked the nutrient database by Health Canada. Looks like salmon is not a good source of iron whether it's raw or smoked. It has about 0.35mg of iron in 100g of salmon. Since the RDI for iron is 8mg/day for men and 18mg/day for women, that means 100g of salmon is only 1.9% of the RDI for women. :ohwell: But salmon…

Not so much a topping, but the condition of a topping - pepperoni that has curled up into a little cup and that cup is filled with grease! Makes me gag just looking at it! :sick: Also, canned mushrooms, anchovies, and those little sausage meatballs. *shudder* My favorite is Panago's mediterranean veggie one - I'm surprised…

If you don't know where to start, go to the library/bookstore, either before you see her or take her with you. There are plenty of books written for pre-teen girls on how their bodies work and how sex works, written in a way that a 10-yr old can understand. Then you can go thru it together. My eldest is now 11-1/2, and she…

I'm there with you too. I have been on Cipralex (escitalopram) for, oh it must be 4 years now after trying a couple other ones first. I now feel centered and grounded and happy (for the most part). It took time but I got out of the depression I was in. But my weight is another story. I gained during my deepest depression.…

I think what OP is referring to is the kind of lower-grade "depression" that occurs in normal cycles in a normal person's life. That is NOT true depression. The word depression is thrown around much too liberally these days. You certainly can't tell me that this would work with a soldier with PTSD-induced-depression that…

I think I love you :blushing:

Lindor Excellence Dark Choloate with Sea Salt :love: :love: :love: 2 squares = ~100cal and kicks my chocolate craving :drinker:
-
You, sir, are awesome! :drinker:
-
Oh I am there with you! I LOOOOOVE my chocolate! But I am picky too - if I am going to have some chocolate, it needs to be good and not whatever is handy. I agree with the other posters about darker chocolate being more satisfying. My personal go-to are the Lindt Excellence bars. They are big, but two squares (snap off one…

Our children are kindred spirits! :flowerforyou: :drinker: My first daughter ate everything. From the first day she tried food, there was almost nothing she didn't like. She is 10 now, and the only thing she doesn't like is raw onion. She quietly puts them to the side of her plate, no hoopla or drama. When she was 2, just…

I live in Calgary Canada - we're about as dry as Las Vegas, just without the heat. Everything here dries out (Although you 'd never know it this year from all the severe flooding we've had this year :sad: Edited to add quote that I missed......

Good God, where to start........ 1) You can remember every word to a one-hit wonder's song from the 80's that you haven't heard in years, but remembering where the car keys are or where you left the phone is damn-near impossible :grumble: 2) My daughter found the corded phone I keep around in case of a power outage, and…

I never planned to bath with my kids either. I didn't have a choice with my 2nd one, she was terrified of the bathtub and ktichen sink from the first time she saw the tub drain. From 6 months old she was convinced all the toys were going to disappear, even though she could see her big sister was just fine. The ONLY way to…

I would have a very small dinner, and then have your cake My birthday is in a few weeks, and a friend is coming into town to take me out. I fully intend to have a low calorie grilled chicken salad with balsamic vinegar (not vinegrette) for like 200-300 calories. Then a piece of wonderfully delicious cake. :drinker: :love:…

Don't believe everything you hear in the news. When you NEED something it happens right away. The people that complain the loudest about Canada's health system are the ones who expect testing done right now because their knee hurts (yes there have been exceptions to this, I don't want to "ruffle feathers", but I am…

Thank you! I must make these. I think it would probably work with zucchini too, in place of the yummy deep-fried battered zucchini slices my Portuguese mother-in-law makes, which NEVER fit into my macros but taste soooooo good!! :love:

Exactly!! And add Nirvana :sick:

OMG not this again...... <sigh> :ohwell: I won't say which side I'm on, I'm tired of this debate after 20 years of being a food chemist. Been there done that. But: I vote we all stop using either and just cook everything in bacon grease. mmmmmmm, bacon :drinker:
-
Kay, normally I don't get involved in this debate, but this time I just gotta put in my two cents' worth. The capital letters that follow are simply a continuation of this poster's writing style...... No, YOU are wrong. Seriously, a CHEMICAL change? A chemical change alters the initial molecule. Period. That is the…

Exactly this. I have also had therapy and medication for my anxiety, and the therapy worked the best, but caffeine is a huge contributor to anxiety. Took me about 3 weeks to get it out of my system, and I've been off most caffeine for 4 years now. If I cheat and have even a pop with caffeine in it, I notice a difference.…

No, the bone doesn't count towards the weight. If you look at the food databases (like FDA or Health Canada) they are always based on edible portion, sometimes they are lean only, sometimes lean and fat (you have to watch). If I am at home, I weigh any meat that is bone-in before I eat, then weigh the bone afterwards and…

It's not just you! We have a saying at my work - "people's standards for what is 'good' food drops dramatically when it's free". If something is left out with a sign that says "help yourself" it will get eaten no matter how yucky - because it's free! :laugh: OP - when I have a day that I am not counting, I like to have…

^^This. If you are unable to leave the work crap at the door when you walk out, and it is time to find something new. Don't quit until you do, as you may find that at your level there are not as many jobs out there (without relocating etc) and it may take time. Use the contacts that you have made in your current job to…

People who ask for my opinion, then tell me I'm wrong :mad: If you don't wanna hear hear my opinion, don't ask! People who finish my sentences for me Ignorant people Racist people Ungrateful people Hmmmm, guess that co-worker irritated me more than I thought - these all apply to her! :laugh:
