Just watched the Oilers highlights from last night. Goals 2 and 3 are nutsy. -- nm - Shaun Feb 6, 08:11 2
- I like how he gave the defenceman a fighting shot to catch him on the breakaway. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 08:20 1
  - Like how Bolt pulls up at 60m to make it interesting. -- nm - Shaun Feb 6, 08:22
I'm not sure what colin is referring to on B2 in regards to an Altered Carbon actress. - Shaun Feb 6, 08:04
Meg sent you speaker suggestions to facebook -- nm - Bacon Feb 6, 07:48 1

Hi, you may recall ty97 being anti-omelette. - ty97 Feb 6, 07:24 37
- baby spinach will get some fiber, iron and antioxidants.... mushrooms and cheese. How about salsa? -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 6, 08:11 11
  - Shred up leftover rotisserie chicken, mix in some black beans and rotel. - znufrii Feb 6, 08:15 4

      - oooooohhhhhhh -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 08:18 1
        
        I like the corn idea too, should see if we have any around to throw in next time. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 08:20
    - I'm going to try a southwestern one with black beans and maybe corn later this week I think. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 08:16
  - and 6-8 pieces of bacon! -- nm - decline Feb 6, 08:13
  - I didn't have any spinach in the house, but will add some next time. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 08:12 2
    - mushrooms are the devil, as are tomatoes -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 6, 08:14 1
      - I disagree on mushrooms but agree on tomatoes. And even just a cheese omelette is delicious. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 08:19
  - feta and spinach is my fave. -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 08:11 1
    - Yum -- nm - Amoxy-2017 Caveman Champ Feb 6, 08:18
- with some ketchup on the side! -- nm - Remlik Feb 6, 07:49
- Probably? It may become a soufflé. I don’t know. -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 07:34
- Threadjack: Please tell me someone saw the omelette challenge on Top Chef this season? They should have all been sent home immediately. -- nm - MDH Feb 6, 07:34
- I eat eggs almost every day. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 6, 07:28 5
  - do you own your own chickens? - decline Feb 6, 08:09 1
    - No, but the grocery store is across the street! -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 6, 08:13
  - el stupido question but what kind of eggs? the lower fat ones? cage free? does one taste better than the other - Epiphany Feb 6, 07:48 2
    - Some days hard boiled. Some days I scramble some with some Pico de Gallo. - Dark Callisto Feb 6, 07:52 1
      - gracias -- nm - Epiphany Feb 6, 07:54
- and cheese. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 07:28 1
  - yes, I have a bit of low fat cheese to add in. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 07:34
- How are eggs zero points? That is wacky -- nm - Bacon Feb 6, 07:27 10
  - Yeah, this is why I can't with WW anymore. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 6, 07:37 6
    - Yep, they had a plan that worked great for me and changed it. - Bacon Feb 6, 07:39 5
      - They are on their fourth iteration since I joined. The first iteration worked fantastic for me - ty97 Feb 6, 08:12
      - Let me know if you'd like to chat about it. I use a container system that works amazingly well. - Dark Callisto Feb 6, 07:43 3
        
        does that allow you to eat out and eat frozen meals (lean cuisine etc.) when I am busy? -- nm - Bacon Feb 6, 07:49 2
        
        I am off to work I will BB this answer -- nm - Bacon Feb 6, 07:50 1
        
        Yes, I eat out and yes, I will do frozen veggies and stuff like that. - Dark Callisto Feb 6, 07:57
  - They obviously are not zero calories. The theory is that they are filling, have nutrients, and you are unlikely to overeat them. - ty97 Feb 6, 07:34 1
    - Unless you're Cool Hand Luke. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Feb 6, 08:03
  - You cook them and give them away. Eggs are always better when someone else makes them. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Feb 6, 07:28
- get some celery or green peppers in there for texture. -- nm - volnelk Feb 6, 07:26
- I'd advise a lot of parsley too -- nm - LMS Feb 6, 07:25 1

VIX, BABY -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 07:22 12

  - Same here-- took 5 mins to log in this morning. RIDIC -- nm - Matrix_Mafia Feb 6, 08:01

      - you can log in but I have no idea about trades - Epiphany Feb 6, 07:46 1

- His base, never. Ryan, McConnell, etc., oh, they already know. They don't care. -- nm - mara Feb 6, 07:31 11
  - Oh they know. But don't care? I don't believe that. They are waiting for Mueller to bring down the hammer. -- nm - Jovian Feb 6, 07:53
  - I disagree to a point. Jobs/economy is still his big win and he still gets a bump from it. When we have a recession, he will lose a lot. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 07:39 6
    - [deleted]
    - That's not really the same thing as realizing he's a fraud, is it? -- nm - mara Feb 6, 07:40 4
      - Yes and no. He claims he causes everything good we have (stock market, jobs, etc). A lot of them believe that. It collapses, they will see it. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 07:42 3
        
        Lol, no. - znufrii Feb 6, 08:06 2
        
        For most, yes. But for some, no. There are those that say he is doing what he promised to do (even if Obama caused a lot of it). - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 08:11 1
        
        Its the Democrats’ fault for obstructing, obvie. - znufrii Feb 6, 08:14

  - the building that our OTF is going into is one of the new luxury buildings filled with wealthy international students. -- (link) - amanda Feb 6, 07:32 1
    - I loved it for the year I went to classes. I have several friends that are disciples. - Strongbad Feb 6, 07:38
- A friend of mine spins a lot. He just hit his 100th class. It's $30-40/class depending on a location. - MDH Feb 6, 07:03 24
  - We just got a peloton bike. So far liking it a lot. They’re expensive, but if you’re otherwise taking 2 classes a week, it pays for itself in a year. -- nm - pmb Feb 6, 07:52 3
    - that looks so interesting. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 6, 07:54 2
      - I wasn’t sure I’d be into it. One of the reasons I generally don’t like those kinds of classes is because I usually don’t like the music. With this - pmb Feb 6, 07:59 1
        
        heh to that last sentence. Its so funny, the music is 1/2 the reason I kept going back to spin class. - Epiphany Feb 6, 08:16
  - I just realized she probs has a membership to the spin gym too. it's $1550 per year. -- nm - amanda Feb 6, 07:18 18
    - you should start a home gym and charge her a membership fee. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 07:21
    - [deleted] 15

        I’ve been twice this year already. - znufrii Feb 6, 07:29
      - I have a gym at my office. While not amazing, it has what I need and is free. I can't justify paying for anything else. -- nm - MDH Feb 6, 07:23 4
        
        if I go on IBIS replacement, the building I'll be in has a free gym. no other building on campus has a free gym. -- nm - amanda Feb 6, 07:33 2
        
        Tax reform crushed exempt orgs (colleges, etc.) on employee use of facilities and gyms. As well as all the fringe benefits received. - MDH Feb 6, 07:37 1
        
        everyone outside of that building has to pay for gym use. it's like $240 per year BUT that year is august - august. if you sign up in february? $240 - amanda Feb 6, 07:46

        Wait. What about the skeletal structure and CrossFit? - JD Feb 6, 07:57 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Yep, it's brand new as of last month. It has timed nutrition, which I love. - Dark Callisto Feb 6, 07:45
    - are we sure she isn't a drug dealer who makes deals at each of these establishments? -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 07:18
  - you should tell him riding outside is free -- nm - decline Feb 6, 07:05

        The land the airport is built on was originally Moisant Stock Yards -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 07:07 1
        
        Ah. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 07:09
  - Answer! - Andie Feb 6, 06:59 5
    - There's a handful that start with K X and Z (that would be 'zed') now - Reagen Feb 6, 07:07 2
