        And thanks for that explanation. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:16

- win the argument by proposing to him. use your future money on your own ring. -- nm - Max Mar 26, 08:06
- I like how the idea of having more debt = planning for the future for this chick. She is stupid and has probably never had to worry about money ever. -- nm - Shaun Mar 26, 08:04
- he's just not that into marrying you -- nm - charlie Mar 26, 08:02
- credit card debt is a good thing to pay off. let hime. -- nm - Andie Mar 26, 08:00 2
  - (also - if you have debt you might want to use some of that inheritance for that, chickie.) -- nm - Andie Mar 26, 08:01 1
    - and if she is going to marry the guy she should realize that his debts will become "our" debts - dogbert Mar 26, 08:04

- I'm having a lot of luck eating fruit as a snack. -- nm - David Mar 26, 08:06 15
  - I've had a banana and 2 Fuji apples today...it works pretty well. By the way...the last group of Fujis I bought are hands down the best - Jim Mar 26, 08:16 14
    - I go rotate between grapes and strawberries with the occasional apple. - David Mar 26, 08:23 1
      - We got some grapes this weekend, they were horrible. So I'm staying away from them for a while. Love some strawberries, though. - Jim Mar 26, 08:28
    - My gf swears that Fuji apples are by far the best. I'm a red delicious kind of a guy but I think I should try one of those Fuji's. - Krusty Mar 26, 08:18 11
      - How did you manage to escape the fuji apple craze of the nineties, when everything had to have fuji apples in it? :-) -- nm - con_carne Mar 26, 08:40
      - i like fuji, but i usually buy granny smith - tRuMaN Mar 26, 08:32 4
        
        Yeah, those are rather tart. My roommate loves them. I like sweet and crispy apples. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:33 3
        
        I would never call red delicious crispy. They seem mealy to me. -- nm - zork Mar 26, 08:35 1
        
        Maybe I'm getting the name wrong. They're dark red, sweet, and crispy. Maybe, they're Washington apples? -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:43
        
        whimp - tRuMaN Mar 26, 08:35
      - I've been a Royal Gala guy for years. But lately, Fujis have just been worlds better. Nice and crisp. No mealy-ness to them. -- nm - Jim Mar 26, 08:30 1
        
        Hmm... I hate mealy-ness or a soft apple. I might grab one on my way home and see how I like 'em. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:36
      - Honeycrisp or pink lady apples are the best. -- nm - znufrii Mar 26, 08:19 2
        
        Never heard of those but if I see 'em I'll try one. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:32
        
        It's completely a matter of taste -- nm - con_carne Mar 26, 08:21
- Awesome. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 26, 08:05
- Awesome! -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 08:05
- I hadn't lost anything in the first two weeks, mostly because I would take my points to the limit and forget about what I ate. - Max Mar 26, 07:56 10
  - Yeah, it's been tough to get used to. Lots of grilled chicken and Smart Ones to get started for us. - Jim Mar 26, 08:00 9
    - Yeah, grilled chicken becomes your friend. - ty97 Mar 26, 08:06 2
      - Last night was chicken soft tacos. Lowest point tortillas I could find, couple ounces of seasoned chicken breast and some WW shredded cheese. nm - Jim Mar 26, 08:10 1
        
        We buy the carb balance wraps, pretty decent. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 26, 08:12
    - my day is - Max Mar 26, 08:04 5
      - Yeah, staying up late is a killer for me. That's when I get all snacky and stuff. but we've been eating pretzels as a snack... - Jim Mar 26, 08:06 4
        
        Try waiting as long as you can for lunch & dinner -- nm - Strongbad Mar 26, 08:13
        
        wow, usually bread things are killer. One day I was so hungry I ate 3/4 a loaf of Panera Italian bread for dinner. That was... many points. -- nm - Max Mar 26, 08:08 2
        
        yeah, pretzels are pretty decent...most stuff isn't. Also, we just broke down and bought a bunch of the WW snacks. - Jim Mar 26, 08:11 1
