The name’s John, though most people call me ‘Freaky’. :P I’m in my “teens” and kinda lost in the world at the moment…however, I’ve found the hippie “culture” and discovered that it fits me very well…I’m not trying to fit into it, it just kind of fitted onto me.
I have lots of questions, which hopefully some of the older and wiser people on this board will be able to help answer.
Here’s to hoping this board will be able to help me discover more of myself and fuel my beliefs.

Al, you only told your brother to f**k off once?! I had to tell one of my sisters to do that at least once a week, that was in my teens after years of youngest kid abuse : ) I also had a fight in 7th grade : ) she kicked my ass, I tried to tell her that I’m a lover not a fighter but she wouldn’t listen, it was over in 30 seconds. You’re too funny, love your wit, we all miss it here…and if you’re now getting a full nights sleep it is possible that it is the intention experiment, now I’m going to ask them to send that my way, I’m not the best sleeper…

So many comments to comment on, the meds are on back order apparently…I’ll only put in my two on Cecilia, glad you and yours are getting exercise and your article made me laugh, you have another NOLA fan, me.

Emily, I don’t mind spiders but I very much mind hot wax on my twat, hahaha…! No F’ing way, lucky for me I’m just not that hairy or I might have to think twice about hurting myself that way, yikes…

??I know I’m not going to understand women..??

I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,??

pour it onto your most intimate part, rip the hair out by the root,??

and still be afraid of a spider.

Even though most fast food is bad for your health because of its high-fat, high-calorie and high-salt content, there are ways to eat a relatively healthful meal at a fast-food restaurant — if you know a few tricks.

SECRETS TO READING THE MENU

When fast-food chains promote menu items as healthful, the claims are often exaggerated.

TRAP 1. Chicken meals. Chicken is frequently touted as a healthful alternative to beef — but beware of the preparation method. Example: Wendy’s Chicken Caesar Salad topped with Caesar dressing and croutons delivers 540 calories and 32.5 g of total fat.

Solution: Order Wendy’s Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich (with honey mustard sauce) at 211 calories and 7 g of total fat.

Another option: At Wendy’s, you can order a plain baked potato and top it with a small (three-ounce) order of chili, for a total of 350 calories and 2.5 g of total fat. Potatoes are a good source of potassium, which has been linked to reduced stroke risk.

Bonus: The fiber in the chili, mostly from beans, slows down the absorption of the sugar that naturally occurs in a baked potato. When sugar is absorbed too quickly, it leads to a spike in insulin (a blood sugar–reducing hormone). These surges in sugar and insulin create metabolic stress in the body.

TRAP 2. Salad dressing. The salad dressing used on a fast-food salad can add more calories than most people realize. Example: Without dressing, the McDonald’s Bacon Ranch Salad with Crispy Chicken has 350 calories and 4 g of total fat.

If you choose the Newman’s Own Ranch Dressing for the salad, it adds another 170 calories and 3 g of total fat.
Solution: Switch to Newman’s Own Low-Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing with 40 calories and 1 g of total fat.

TRAP 3. Calories from cheese. Many people forget about the cheese in fast foods. Example: Taco Bell’s Chalupa Nacho Cheese with beef, which is heavy on ground beef and cheese, contains 370 calories and 22 g of total fat.

Solution: Order items from Taco Bell “fresco” style — this means the food will be dressed with salsa instead of cheese and sauce. If you order Taco Bell’s Bean Burrito fresco-style (340 calories and 9 g of total fat), you’ll get a serving of beans, which contain protective antioxidants and help control appetite.

TRAP 4. No vegetables. Aside from a few salads, most fast-food restaurants do not offer any vegetables on their menus.

Solution: If you’re eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken, you can get a low-calorie, low-fat meal with a vegetable and legume by ordering a side order of corn (three-inch size, without butter) and baked beans. This combination contains 290 calories and 2.5 g of total fat.

Alternative: Order a six-inch Veggie Delite, made with Italian or wheat bread and no cheese or dressing (230 calories and 3 g of total fat), from Subway. With this sandwich, you can choose from a variety of vegetables to get a meal that contains antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

OTHER DEFENSE STRATEGIES…

Downsize, don’t supersize. A single serving at most fast-food restaurants provides enough fat and calories for two meals. To avoid this calorie load, order a child’s meal… or share one regular-sized food item while adding a side order of soup and/or a small salad.

Give up — or cut back — on soft drinks. If you drink a lot of soft drinks (typically 140 calories per 12-ounce serving), you can lose at least half a pound a week by simply drinking water, seltzer or unsweetened iced tea instead. As an alternative, consider adding a dash of Sprite, 7UP or lemonade to seltzer for extra flavor.

Helpful: If you must have a sweet, large-sized drink, fill the cup halfway with club soda or seltzer and the rest with your favorite soft drink — this cuts calories by 50%.
Caution: Avoid diet soda. It can trigger sugar cravings.

OTHER SMART PICKS

Like most fast-food eateries, a number of restaurant chains with table service also have added more healthful foods to their menus. Best options include…

Ruby Tuesday’s “Smart Eating” menu includes White Bean Chicken Chili. Calories: 223… total fat: 7 g.
P.F. Chang’s standard vegetarian menu offers a steamed Buddha’s Feast for a main dish. Calories: 200… total fat: 1.5 g.

Applebee’s Teriyaki Steak ‘n Shrimp Skewers with Rice Pilaf and Vegetables. Calories: 370… total fat: 7 g.

Aren’t they suppose to practice tolerance and love? They need to turn the looking glass internally and see just how corrupt and juvenile the entire religious system is.

Just because YOU can’t function without the absurd belief of a higher power dictating your every move doesn’t mean we all have to feel that way.

I for one am completely comfortable in my mortality and don’t feel the need to explain it away with fanciful beings..
