Worst thing about the GGs last night was that there wasn't one woman who looked DDG imo. Salma was close, but not quite. -- nm - Shaun Jan 12, 08:17 27

  - And though I don't recall the gown itself, Christina Hendricks has curves I could drive on for days. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 12, 08:27 1
    - Her dress was pretty conservative. But she needed a bunch of fabric up top to contain those things. -- nm - Shaun Jan 12, 08:33
  - I agree with this. She looked great as did Winsy and Amy Adams. Jenna Fischer surprisingly did not impress. And Renee Z...oops. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 12, 08:23 12
    - Renee was in full-on scrunched-face mode. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 08:25 5
      - That's just the way her face is. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 12, 08:27 1
        
        It's gotten worse over time. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 08:34
      - Indeed. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:26 [Backboard]
      - Is she ever not? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 08:26 1
        
        She has eyes, I can prove it! -- (link) - Reagen Jan 12, 08:29

      - That's exactly what Trish said. I made a song about it on a BB. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:25 1
        
        (link) -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:26 [Backboard]
    - Renee looks worse and worse every day. *vomit face* -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 08:24 1
      - I didn't like the outfit, but I really don't get the level of hatey. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:28
  - maybe it's just her role, but I've never gotten the sense that there's a person in there. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 08:18 1
    - You may be right, but she sure is nice eye candy. ;) (I do think she does a very nice job on the show, though.) - Don Homer Jan 12, 08:25

NWBR: Do you mean that you liked Zero Effect? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:10
Uh oh. The neurologist wanting me to come in ASAP to go over my MRI can't be good? -- nm - ceregon Jan 12, 08:09 4
- Depends on what body part was MRI'd. "Wow ... man, this wang is EPIC. You should get a medal or something." -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:11
- Maybe you won a prize? - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:10

  - If there is one guy that God might be rooting for left in the playoffs, it's Kurt Warner. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 08:12 4
    - Word. No player in the NFL mention Him as much as Warner does. nm - Jim Jan 12, 08:14
    - just ask his wife. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 08:12 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        good question. GIS isn't much help as who knows what's recent. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 08:25
ST assignment: someone please try these Healthy Choice "Fresh Mixers" and report back. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:03 37
- I'm not that into pasta to be doing this at work. That's their point, right? To be able to bring them to work? -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 08:25
- [deleted] 2
  - I've taken TFox's suggestion and have been bringing a little side salad as well. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:18 1
    - It's effective. Eff it, bring a big salad. It's salad. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 08:21
- I think those things look awesome. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 08:09
- hmm, I tried two of them. - tRuMaN Jan 12, 08:08
- I tried them a few months ago - they weren't bad. - kelly Jan 12, 08:08 1
  - cool thanks. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:09
- They are no in the frozen section. Check, possibly, the pasta aisle - ty97 Jan 12, 08:07
- is healthy choice stuff generally actually healthy? or is it loaded with preservatives et cetera? -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 08:05 27
  - Like with any of the 'diet' brands, they usually have a ton of sodium -- nm - ty97 Jan 12, 08:10 12
    - why do they do that, I wonder. -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 08:12 11
      - I assume it's because it's a preservative. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:15 5
        
        freezing should preserve it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:15 4
        
        But if it drops below freezing during shipping or in the grocery store. I dunno...that's just my thought. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:17 3
        
        If it actually thaws out, it's not safe to eat. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:18 2
        
        Eh. - kelly Jan 12, 08:21 1
        
        I meant during transit. they're supposed to discard them if that happens. - loosilu Jan 12, 08:25
      - I think it's a method of adding of flavoring, though I'm not sure. -- nm - ty97 Jan 12, 08:13
      - because we'd probably hate the taste. SOdium is not a bad thing. people get unnecessarily freaked over it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:13 3
        
        I trust physicians on this one, but thanks very much for your opinion. -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 08:17 2
        
        Well, hopefully you never suffer from low sodium. I hear it's very painful when the nerves can't properly send signals. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:28
        
        if you ask your physician they will probably tell you that if you have normal blood pressure and are not genetically sensitive to sodium, - loosilu Jan 12, 08:18
  - I'd say they're better than some. I really like the "Cafe Steamers" line for a microwave meal. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:09 12
    - Yeah, I really like the Cafe Steamers. -- nm - kelly Jan 12, 08:13
    - I like the taste of those, but hate the excess packaging. I feel bad throwing out all that plastic. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:12 6
      - With my new recyling, I've actually been rinsing and taking home my lunch packages. - Amy Jan 12, 08:14 2
        
        sasha's husband doug overdoes this. they have *way* too much lunchware in their house. - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 08:16 1
        
        I put everything in our new giant bin. I even recyled old, worn out tupperware. -- nm - Amy Jan 12, 08:20
      - It really should be recyclable. - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:14 1
        
        It's heavy plastic, like lightweight tupperware. Recycling is ok but better still not to use the plastic at all. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:15
      - Yeah, there is a lot of waste with those. -- nm - kelly Jan 12, 08:14
    - certainly less fat. but ick 23% of my daily sodium? -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 08:10 3
      - But, if that's your meal, then you have 77% left for the rest of the day. -- nm - Amy Jan 12, 08:12 1
        
        a point, I suppose. -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 08:18
      - if you eat 3 meals a day how is that bad? -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:12
  - in this case "healthy" means a bit low fat, but not nonfat. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:08

on a crankiness scale of 1 (pretty things) to 10 (kill everyone) how cranky are you today. - tRuMaN Jan 12, 07:50 27

      - OK thank you. I thought you had become unstuck in time for a minute. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 08:10
