    The last time I thought I was having a "come to Jesus" meeting, I got a raise!!! Good luck! linz

    That's pretty funny....kept the logo, but changed the color. But, on another note, when I was in high school (graduated in '84) my boyfriend and I stole the neon "colored" sign that still hung over the bathroom door of a local gas station. While the whole PC thing is a bit ridiculous, there are obvious reasons that people want to be spoken to and treated with respect. Peace~ linz

    Maybe it's wrong, but it's....history! I can't help how it happened.... But if my memory's correct (I think billvon corrected the part of my memory that wasn't) then that's how it went. linz

    Weird Laws....

    Lindsey replied to f1freak's topic in The Bonfire

    What's really weird is "weird." The rule is "i before e except after c." Now how does "weird" fit that rule. It's just weird. linz

    OMG! One time (at band camp...lol) when I was pregnant, I HAD to have a raw squash, mustard, and something??? (I can't remember what the other ingredient was) sandwich. It was GOOOOOOD! Made a special trip (6 miles) to the store for it! Peace~ linz

    You really do not realize the physical strength differences between the avg male and avg female? True...but the average female can build up some pretty impressive strength with some time in the gym. My friend Lauren (bodybuilder) is hands-down stronger than most men I know. She works at it. Women do not have the hormonal advantage toward physical strength that men have, but to believe that the average woman is incapable of adequate strength to perform in combat is a little patronizing. I'm offended...lol . linz

    Sex is the woman's right, not the man's. A man has a duty to give his wife sex regularly and to ensure that sex is pleasurable for her. He is also obligated to watch for signs that his wife wants sex, and to offer it to her without her asking for it. Yeah...

    Didn't this whole trend of ???-American start several years ago with an intent to not offend blacks by calling them "Blacks," or "Negroes," or whatever. Seemed like all of the classifications were offensive in some way, and using African-American was more PC. Of course I think that "blacks" was once a pc way to not say "negro" which was a pc way to not say "colored" or something like that. Whatever.... I'm sure my post is also offensive to some. Not intended to be.... linz

    I don't know....there may be *something* to that, but I think that nutritionally the difference would be negligible. If you don't chew your meat, would it be the same difference???? Got me....

    Yeah...they'll still be expensive, but they'll treat you without insurance. Many hospitals won't. And if you're indigent (a poor college student would qualify for such status), they'll often forgive a large portion of the bill. VA is a better option, though, if you qualify. linz

    Thank you!!! AND cervical cancer is definitely not a disease limited to women who are sexually promiscuous. All it takes to contract the virus is having sex with one partner (whether you're married to him or not) who has HPV (he probably won't know he has it). The types of HPV that cause cervical cancer are not the same ones that cause warts. I had a patient whose husband was stunned to learn that she had cervical cancer. Several years before, his previous wife had died of cervical cancer. He had no idea that he gave it to both of them.... Funny how men's promiscuity doesn't carry the same weight of blame that women's does.... Thanks for the post! linz

    Purees would be the same as eating fruit. What I recall from studying this is that when you juice the fruit you lose the fiber, and the relative amounts of fructose and sucrose are altered. Sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose. Fructose is absorbed slowly. Glucose is absorbed much more rapidly (thus the insulin rise). I can't recall how fructose and glucose affect each others absorption, but there is a relationship there too. So though fruit juice is not BAD for you, per se, you can get too much pretty quickly. Fresh fruit is not so apt to make you fat because of 1)the fiber and 2) the more favorable sugar composition. -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

    Your kid (I DO like other people's children) is darlin'. I don't know anyone who goes on dogsledding trips. Cool. My dogs and my son.....hmm....don't think they'll be in any Iditarod.... Peace~ linz

    That is the right idea. However, people still need to remember that a 500 calorie deficit daily will equal 1 pound per week. That means that you will be lucky if you notice a significant loss after a month (at that rate). When people have unrealistic expectations the give up before they have had a chance to fail. And 1 pound a week is 52 pounds a year. linz

    Some people may classify obesity as a disease. I don't. And if you bill an insurance company for it (there is a code), you're not likely to get paid. However, metabolic syndrome, which many MANY obese people have, is billable, and you'll almost always get paid, if you have the right credentials. It's a combination of cardiovascular risk factors including central obesity, high triglycerides and low HDL, hypertension. A person who thinks that those are not a serious combination of symptoms is not very well-informed. linz

    ...and people can get so overwhelmed by the task of losing weight. At an adolescent weight-loss clinic that I worked at a few years ago, the doctor would first not focus on weight with the kids, but on getting them off of cokes, and onto diet drinks or (better) water. Lots of folks will put away 4 or 5 regular cokes in a day, and that's 500 calories! It's amazing how much weight people can lose just by changing what they drink! Same with beer and wine. Hard liquor doesn't make you fat Peace~ linz

    You could probably be treated at a teaching hospital. Here in Arkansas you'd be able to have surgery at our University Hospital. linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    This makes me think of that "had to buy a condom and they didn't have the kind I like" thread. Sad, huh?

    Think fruit is good for you? Think again. Fresh fruit is VERY good for you. Eat it. The sugar in fruit is not sugar that drives your blood insulin to sky-hi levels, causes you to store fat, and makes you want to eat more (via drop in inuslin later). Fresh fruits and vegetables are some of the most healthy food you can eat. Eat LOTS of it.... Now fruit JUICES are a different story. Going to the grocery store for a can of orange juice is bad juju.... You get lots of glucose in fruit juices, and they DO do all of those things.... linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    This focus on skinny people has made me hungry.... I just made the BEST wok of vegetable fried rice. Wish I could share. Onions, red cabbage, zucchini, carrots, egg, rice. YUMMY! Peace~ linz

    This is the jinx me thread and I've been reluctant to contribute due to my belief that superstition is sometimes as powerful as science....lol BUT...I have been slightly injured twice. So maybe it's not a jinx. I scraped my knees badly once on a slide-in landing with shorts on. I sprained my ankle at my first WFFC in '95.
