Why You Shouldn't Wear a Mask
What is/are your reason(s) for resisting mask wearing as a means of reducing Covid-19 transmission? Not trying to start an argument. I am, honestly, interested in why people don't want to, or won't, wear a mask during the pandemic. I ask that those who disagree with anti-maskers not comment on or judge their reasons. If…

THE Invention in Your Lifetime
What single thing, invented during your lifetime, has had the most impact either on your life or society as a whole? Handheld solid-state calculator, the predecessor of the personal computer. Not permitted in geometry and other mathematics classes when I was in high school - we had to use a slide rule.

Why, Oh Why?!
...are so many non-fluid ingredients on MFP measured in fluid ounces rather than than an accurate and precise non-fluid measurement such as ounces or grams? Fluid ounces is a measure of volume, and eight fluid ounces of chopped onions is not one fluid cup - hardly ever. That cup can easily contain 10, 12, 14, or even more…

Corned Beef & Cabbage
Corning beef is curing it, primarily, with large crystals of salt, so it's not a very healthy choice even on St Patrick's Day. But most of us love it, especially with cabbage and 'taters. If I pick out the cabbage, how much of the salt from the juice, remains in the leaves? Or how much remains in the meat if it is removed…

Pancakes and Waffles
I have a bag of Birch Bender's Micro-Pancakery Keto Pancake and Waffle mix (just add water). The end results:* Don't taste all that good, but that might because I expect these breakfast delights to taste a certain way. * PC's & W's are so light and airy they turn to pasty mush as soon as butter melts and syrup (sugar free)…

Goodbye
I'm approaching the end of my journey here. I've tried deleting accounts and starting anew in hopes the problems would, somehow, magically disappear. I've filed complaints with the lack-of-support group. And the problems remain. "It's free," you might say? Is that an excuse for sloppy work? Or useless databases? Computers…

20 Pounds!
205 this morning, down 20 pounds since mid-December. Haven't been this light in about four years. Considering putting a seat belt on my chair so I don't float away. 😜

Glycemic Index and Load
Is there a comprehensive searchable database of the GI's and GL's for foods? As a T2 diabetic, I've learned that using GI's and GL's is easier and could be a more precise and helpful way to determine nutrient levels that effect blood glucose levels. Is there such a database that covers most foods (brands, restaurants, and…

My Daily Mantra
When I dig through the cupboards or root around in the 'fridge I've discovered that telling myself something important helps me forego those quick snacks I don't need. Eat Less (I'm just bored and not hungry, so I won't eat a snack right now) (One serving, not three) Eat Better (carrots instead of carrot cake) Move More…

I'm Here. Again
This is my third or fourth attempt at counting - calories, fat, sugar and etc.'s. Several serious chronic conditions now require me to count them and change the numbers. Thought, perhaps, participating in the community might help me. And, just maybe, might be of help to someone else. Aren't you glad you got to meet me?😜
