Off-Topic / Re: Pancakes Or French toast

« on: March 23, 2013, 01:21:15 pm »Message ID: 708855

Both but probably french toast more.  Really like the fruit topped pancakes or strawberry cream cheese stuffed french toast.  Have not made either in a while - perhaps breakfast for dinner tonight?

Off-Topic / Re: My Fight Against Sugar

« on: March 23, 2013, 01:19:56 pm »Message ID: 708854

Sugar addiction is absolutely real.  I know of the risks and it causes me pain and I STILL indulged in it heavily.  I did some research yesterday and I'll share a few of the tips I found:

brush your teeth to get a sweet taste in your mouth
try fruits instead of sweet
drink water and make sure you are eating regularly and enough vitamins (sugar cravings signify a vitamin deficit)

Hope this helps!

I have always been a sugar addict (even though I have read a lot of articles that say that there's no such thing). I can cut almost anything else out of my diet and not miss it but not sugar. I would be a lot healthier without it. I wish there was a fool proof plan to stay away from it.

Any particular vitamin or just in general?

Most of the time though not heavy or obvious; more of a natural enhancement.

Eight O Clock hazelnut coffee at home.  Starbucks frappacino though not often, mostly because of price.

Most of the time.  I transcribe for a living so it seems second-nature to do so though it is easy to overlook your own typing errors.

Treasure the days.   My son is now 35 with a son of his own.

Starz for series.  HGTV for ideas and projects.

I love the results but it is a lot of hard work.  Like with anything else, do some online research or go to your local book store or garden supply.  For vegetables, raised beds and container gardens can be very productive, particularly if you have limited space.

There are some other legitimate sites that pay; I have received checks from a couple.  You just have to do our homework, read the terms and conditions, research any background scam info, etc. before joining.  I never join anything that requires a credit card or payment of any type to participate.

Working, so no plans.  A friend who is a dancer just purchased her green eyelashes and tutu to dance at a casino today while her fiance cooks the traditional corn beef and cabbage for dinner when she finishes.

I think most people have, particularly if you work outside around flowers, mow grass, etc.

Off-Topic / Re: CArpet or wood floors?

« on: February 28, 2013, 11:31:42 am »Message ID: 695613

We have carpet but I think wood would be much easier to keep clean.   Wood floors also seem to be a major selling feature for new homebuyers.
