    - I never consume boy calories. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:22
- This topic is something Kim has preached to me. I shouldn't drink my calories. - David Nov 6, 10:18 28
  - OR bring some lemon squeeze thing that you can flavor your water with. -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 10:22
  - This is the dilemma I am in now. I switched exclusively to diet soda when I started losing weight. - ty97 Nov 6, 10:19 10
    - I drink alot of Diet Pepsi, just had a colonoscopy and it was all clear...so game on! - Beaker Nov 6, 10:22 1
      - I think you might be drinking from the wrong end. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:23

        fuckin Jesse. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:35
        
        aw...:) -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 10:25
  - you have to change that, truly. - groiny Nov 6, 10:19 15
    - I have a secondary issue with dieting. - David Nov 6, 10:23 14
      - aah, I have a major issue with dieting as well, I am very picky. - groiny Nov 6, 10:25 13
        
        Heh, I just had Subway for lunch. I get the most basic sandich possible, which is ham and cheese with olive oil. - David Nov 6, 10:28 12
        
        I feel bad for you. Food is probably one of the greatest joys in my life - decline Nov 6, 10:34 3
        
        Yes. And it's also a valuable reminder to never listen to David's opinion on food. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 10:41
        
        this -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 10:39
        
        Yeah, it's strange that I enjoy Top Chef and Iron Chef because I would never eat anything they serve. -- nm - David Nov 6, 10:37
        
        I get the veggie delite, but the onions were so strong, and the bread was not fresh either. - groiny Nov 6, 10:33
        
        I dunno ... sometimes onioins are horribly strong - both smell and flavor - even red onions can be like that ... -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:31 6
        
        Right, and that's my point. Simply putting one on my food for a second can ruin the flavor for me. - David Nov 6, 10:33 3
        
        I don't mind onion flavor - I just don't want it to dominate ... sometimes I use scallions or shallots instead of onion - I think it's the Winter - JenBro Nov 6, 10:36 2
        
        man, I friggin *heart* shallots. -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 10:51
        
        Onion is probably my least favorite flavor. If I eat one, I may start to gag. -- nm - David Nov 6, 10:37
        
        agreed - i love onions, but i may have put too many red ones in a salad I just made. - Diva Nov 6, 10:33 1
        
        :) -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:36
- I drink nothing but water, skim milk, and Powerade (the variety that has 80 calories per quart). (Plus beer, wine, etc. of course.) -- nm - mara Nov 6, 10:17
- Diet Pepsi cures cancer! -- nm - Beaker Nov 6, 10:17
- word ... McD's large NONFAT latte is 190 ... and I love latte's but have switched to just drinking black coffee straight -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:15 14
  - Well, when you consider that a 20 oz glass of skim milk is 200 calories... -- nm - Ender Nov 6, 10:22 1
    - yep - I know - I've taken to consuming greek yogurt and some cheeses for my dairy intake instead of milk - but every once in a while I have it - it - JenBro Nov 6, 10:34
  - this is part of how I was managing to consume upwards of 4,000 calories a day when I was at my heaviest. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:16 11
    - over the past couple years I've used an app on my phone to log everything I eat - it's amaziing what calories stuff has - really amazing -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:17 10
      - favour - Beaker Nov 6, 10:18 5
        
        sure thing - I may need your help in trying to figure it out - can I just send you everything? I'm not really playing it myself - just getting stuff - JenBro Nov 6, 10:21 4
        
        cool (when you go into send gifts, there is a second page up top called collections) - Beaker Nov 6, 10:24 3
        
        would losing them from my inventory keep me from getting into other rooms or being able to send you better stuff? -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:28 2
        
        likely, you would need your own to do your own collections (so keep one and send me the duplicates!) -- nm - Beaker Nov 6, 10:28 1
        
        ok got it - thanks -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:32
      - yes, and the amount of stuff that people just "munch on" and forget to count it. - groiny Nov 6, 10:18 3
        
        one thing I do like when I "need" a munch snack - is 15 plain whole unsalted almonds ... the crunch and flavor are totally worth the 150 calories -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:25 2
        
        yeah, I occasionally eat them. - groiny Nov 6, 10:27 1
        
        I splurge at Sam's club and buy a big bag to keep at the office ... lasts a couple months - which means way better for me and cheaper in the long run - JenBro Nov 6, 10:29
- this is why I like tea. - groiny Nov 6, 10:15 1
  - yep - I love different herbal teas too -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:16
- it's all the sugar they load in. -- nm - zork Nov 6, 10:14
- lots, and lots, and lots of sugar. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:13 3
  - Also, people *don't* actually know this? I'm digging on ty, but sweet drinks that have calories = SUGAR. -- nm - Shaun Nov 6, 10:20 2
    - There should be a 'not' after I'm. -- nm - Shaun Nov 6, 10:21 1
      - not really, they have no idea how MUCH sugar is in a can of soda. - groiny Nov 6, 10:22
that kid is better at planning than Rob Ford -- nm - zork Nov 6, 10:09
ST Fish Poll: Have you ever gone fishing before? What fish have you caught? -- nm - Beaker Nov 6, 10:09 35
- Yeah, as a kid. No idea what I caught. It got thrown back in, whatever it was. -- nm - elf kelly Nov 6, 10:37
- I caught a sea bass! What?! You again?! -- nm - Qale Nov 6, 10:34

- Yep. Sunfish, bluegill, carp, catfish, large mouth bass...a gar once. -- nm - Jim Nov 6, 10:18
- Yes, every fish I remember has been a blue gill, but I won a fishing contest when I was like 5, so I must have caught something bigger then. -- nm - Ender Nov 6, 10:17
- Yes. I was bored (have we caught anything yet), grossed out (worm on hook, ewww), and felt bad for the fish. - ty97 Nov 6, 10:13
- as a teen with my father off the Jersey coast. we caught a Bluefish before we all seasick for the rest of a *very* long day. -- nm - Jovian Nov 6, 10:13
- Last time was "deep sea" of the coast of Savannah before a bachelor party type day event. I got seasick. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 6, 10:13 1
  - probably 8 years ago -- nm - Strongbad Nov 6, 10:13
- I've gotten into it pretty big this fall. Credit river near me has salmon, rainbow trout/steelhead, some other trout, and different panfish. Hooked a - zork Nov 6, 10:12 1
  - previously it's been many years and never really successful then either. -- nm - zork Nov 6, 10:12
- sure. Striped bass. Black bass, cat fish, porgies (sea bream), sunfish (threw those back) etc... -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 10:11
- Not for 25 years, but mullet, flathead and Murray Cod. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 10:10
- Lots of times, Only ones I remember was trout - amoxy Nov 6, 10:10

    - we caught over 300 between 3 of us one time at our cabin in NF - Beaker Nov 6, 10:16 4
      - I think we filled up three five-gallon buckets the one time we went - znufrii Nov 6, 10:20 1
        
        my former SIL Wanda used to dredge them in corn meal, fry em up and put hot sauce all over them. Served with cold beer. -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 10:28
      - cool. do you ever still fish? I haven't been in a very long time and I'd like to go out again. -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 10:18 1
        
        limited since we left Newfoundland. Getting back into it a bit now with the kids - Beaker Nov 6, 10:20
    - smelt is not fishing, smelt is netting. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:11 4
      - net fishing is still fishing... -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 10:14 2
        
        and the Columbia river smelt was declared endangered in 2010 due to overfishing. that makes me sad. -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 10:18
        
        don't tell that to a bass fisherman. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:15
