Controversial Referendum?
There needs to be a referendum on returning to cylindrical toilet paper dispensers in public rest rooms. These lopsided things were designed by engineers on acid. Thank you, Mr. Engineer on acid, for ruining a perfectly good BM. I blame you.

Martinis
So how do you like your martinis? After over two decades of drinking them, I've finally come to the conclusion that mine are best shaken and I prefer a lime twist with vodka and two olives with gin. I disagree with the traditional notion that stirred is better because one doesn't want ice forming on the top. I like the…

I wish people would mind their own business
Oh! You just had to look, didn't you? Couldn't mind your own business to save your own life, huh? You just has to know what was wut? Nosy neighbors . . .

Bronies
Sooooo, I have this friend who digs My Little Pony. Don't worry, none of you know him or anything and I'm pretty sure he lives in Canada, but that doesn't matter. He really likes watching MLP but he watches with his daughters so it's okay and all and not weird in the slightest. He's totally normal. What he really wants to…

CNN Series: America's Mental Health Crisis
I'd just like to say kudos to the CNN producers responsible for this series for finally focusing attention on this crisis, but it is long overdue. http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2014/08/health/mental-illness-treatment/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 I won't cut and past the entire article but here's a quote. The article is worth…

General Suggestion/Question for Crossfit Boxes
Look, I've been researching Crossfit for a while, and while I tend to avoid anything with a group/class approach, I decided to go in and speak to someone at our local box today. I asked about hours, the number of oly lifting platforms, alternative programs (do they just do Crossfit or do they have a straight oly lifting…

Overheard in the liquor store
I got a bit of a chuckle today at our local mega-liquor store. I was behind a lady in line who spent the better part of 10 minutes ranting to the poor, innocent check out lady (who probably didn't even offer the woman a donut) about how she only ate organic, raw foods and mostly out of her own garden because they prevented…

Letting Friends Disagree
I think we should. I think we should let friends disagree with each other and reach a resolution on their own. I think we could all save ourselves hours and hours of grief if we would just keep our noses out of minor disagreements, let the two people who disagree have it out, and then work it out. When we all jump into the…

Rude people
I see plenty of posts on here about rude or mean people who fail to properly couch their advice for the emotional fragility of whatever recipient chooses to take offense, but what about OPs who never say "thank you?" If you ask strangers for advice, get plenty of it, and fail to say "thank you," I'd say that is the very…

MacArthur biographies
Has anyone read "The Most Dangerous Man in America" or "Supreme Commander?" The NY Times published a review of both, but frankly it wasn't very helpful in picking which one to start with. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/27/books/review/supreme-commander-and-the-most-dangerous-man-in-america.html I read "American Caesar"…

Eating Clean vs. Orthorexia
I found this article on T-Nation which tends to either surprise me with solid articles or leave me chuckling at the bravado. In any event, I think this one is a good one to share as it's reasonably balanced and is coming from the assumption that the audience already cares greatly about their nutrition intake. That, and…

Internet Friends
So . . . let's say two of your internet friends are trading mild barbs in a random thread, do you (1) Huh? What the hell are you talking about, I haven't even had my coffee yet, it's too damn early for this crap! (2) Ignore it. Heck, I don't even really know these people anyway. Have you even been on the internet lately?…

Dove Patch
I thought this ad was brilliant but, of course, that's my opinion, primarily because it (1) demonstrates the one can feel better without a product but (2) it's great marketing because of the warm and fuzzies it throws off. Of course, it also demonstrates the power of placebos. So with all that, it is "controversial" . . .…

Take Your Child to Work Day
Great idea and it needs to continue? Interesting concept but also a great way to bore the living hell out of the kiddos and guarantee that the parents get nothing done? Pie in the sky idea and you now know why your grandfather raised an eyebrow and chuckled the first time he heard about it? How they hell else is an 8 year…

Happy Saturday, Let's Talk Sugar . . .
I'm sharing this link that was posted recently by Alan Aragon on his FB page. It provides a good overview of our state of knowledge on HFCS and fructose. If you want good research-based nutrition information and you don't know who Alan Aragon is then I highly recommend that you go introduce yourself to his website and…

Anyone like me?
I mean is there anyone out there who accepts friends who are from a different gender, height, size, race, or nationality, and dare I say religion and ideology? Maybe you're just generally apathetic when it comes to politics and ideologies and/or just prefer to make decisions based on the facts at hand and the character (or…

Real Home Fries (note the lack of quotes)
Here's my recipe for home fries that I often make on the side burner for the family when I'm grilling massive amounts of meat. 1 bag of Russet Potatoes 1 1/2 quarts of canola oil salt to taste Cut all the potatoes into wedges Heat the oil until in crackles and pops when you toss in a drop or two of water Gently drop in…

Thank you
I just wanted to write and say thank you, MFP. In the 2 years I've been on this site, I have argued, fought and debated nutrition more than I ever have previously, and it has undoubtedly honed my views. Those arguments have also forced me to back up my views, drop some positions and approaches, and take up some new…

The Cauli-Saga
Just please make it stop. You don't have to replace everything delicious in your diet to lose weight. Food should taste good not make you want to vomit. Please just eat the high calorie stuff in moderation.
