Thanks for the info.  It figures that the decrease in cigarette smoking wouldn't be that significant of a factor in the upward obesity trend.

Posted by: Kratos (Ghost of Sparta) at September 24, 2011 10:05 PM (c0A3e)

Hasn't quitting smoking been positively linked to gaining weight? I would have presumed that this is *a* known factor in our collective weight gain.

Yes, that is true, but from the info CDR M provided, the lack of smoking amongst the general population is only a small factor amongst all the factors associated with weight gain.

i enlisted sissys help with plan 9 as a shame bludgeon.

mom showed our timeline and outline of previous treatment/ (non) treatment to the Hospitalist who is her friend at a hospital local to her. J said BRING HER IN RIGHT NOW!

explaining that i was slowly losing the use of my right hand and arm added some urgency beyone what my mom was hearing "it hurts"

sissy had to explain when Gushka says its "hurting so bad she cant sleep" that means something is badly wrong, since she healed a shattered arm with no painkillers and slept JUST FINE REMEMBER??? She went to the horse show and won with kidney stones.

at which point mom was like "wow. forgot that."

sigh. SISSY is the whinger, not me.

The three B's: Beer, brats, and busty blondes. (Maybe that's four.)

Though no writer is credited, the April 1997 issue of Star Trek Monthly mentions a proposed episode reminiscent of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, in which a science officer aboard the Enterprise experimenting with limb regeneration accidentally causes herself to grow to gigantic proportions, threatening the ship in the process. It's a small wonder the producers decided to can the episode.
Most Ridiculous Moment: The episode would have concluded with her boyfriend undergoing the same process, and the two leaving their old lives behind to found a planet of giants.

Gushka, if you have MRSA, you definitely need to be on vancomycin IV.  It's not something to trifle with.  I'm so glad your sister was able to talk some sense into your mother!

GREAT ONT, CDR M! 

Awesome job, thanks!  (Except for the part where you pointed out that all the rides I went on at Disneyland have gone the way of the do-do bird---I am older than you!)  I loved the JDAM vid--badass Americans!  Also the one about the unarmed war heros.  Wow!

And yes, the SCOAMF is a jackass.  I was running with a friend today, and we spent almost the entire 9 miles bitching about him--it was so cathartic.  He is going to be in Seattle tomorrow, tying up our traffic, but at least it's on a weekend and not a weekday--good luck with that, Peaches!

Not always, there's a genetic defect, pancreas defect, and also some neurological situations where even when some people whom never consumed excess carbohydrates their bodies do not produce sufficient insulin. It's not always a person's fault for an unhealthy lifestyle. Sometimes their bodies just never worked right due to genetics or some sort of other problem.

Yup, and for kids who get diabetes, it's been postulated that it could be triggered by a reaction to a virus.

I have written tons of SOAP notes when I worked on a floor.  We even had SOAPIER notes:

Subjective complaints

Objective observations

Assessment

Plan

Intervention

Evaluation

Revision

The "breaking" straw poll story drained the ewok base but we'll get em revved up.

Heh!  I know this is just anecdotal, but at our post-run coffee today, one of the big Obama supporters (who was even a delegate during the primaries for WA state) was really, really quiet when the lone wishy, washy Independent (who says he feels strongly both ways--wore an Obama/Biden button and a McCain/Palin button on a run during the election) said "I've been watching all the debates.  Anyone else watching?"

I said "I haven't watched any entire debates, but I've seen and heard some clips, and anyone could do better than what we have now."

Usually the Obama supporter guy is very vocal in his defense of Teh Won.  He didn't speak up for Obama.  Instead he said (very quietly) "I've been watching all of them too."  After a bit he said "I kind of like Huntsman."

Heh!  This guy's a hardcore Dem., but he retired early and was living off his stock dividends and interest, so life hasn't been very plush for him lately.  Apparently, he and my rabidly conservative friend ran together a couple of weeks ago, and my conservative friend said to him "What gives the government the right to confiscate the money that I've worked so hard for with my own two hands?" (He's a plumber).  The Dem guy came back to him a week later and said "You know, I've really been thinking about what you said..." 

So, I think that people are starting to rethink their love for the Obamessiah because they are truly suffering the consequences of his leadership.

I do SOAP too but for me its on animals and so i observe just a wee bit better than you guys who are used to subjects that tell you stuff and lie.  

mine dont lie and what they can tell me is very limited. I have to touch my patients and look real real close.

OMG the GIANT granuloma that i extracted from Ellies lip today! It just fell out and i have been picking at this one forever but the tissue let it go, and it was when examined an inch long. Charlie and i looked at each other and i asked is this a getting better thing or a holy shit thing?

Charlie shook her head made a gagging face, grinned and said "This is a better out than in thing."

The legs got unwrapped for the last time and no fresh bandages put back on. the last of the leg wounds were healed. 

SO all in all we rock!

I've got plenty of family members like this, and you it is scary to watch them act as sober as a judge for about 5 minutes, but the second that is over with, they become like Otis from Andy Griffith.

This is why nobody backstage caught it. She "used up" her "normal", then didn't have anything left after that.

If my understanding is correct the holy grail for AGW is to find a feedback mechanism that will generate 2-4 degrees C of warming in the next century, because CO2 isn't doing the trick. Of course if they incorporated the findings of the CLOUD experiment in the models even that kind of feedback would probably disappear.

Yeah, I think for Goose it was just gonna be a matter of time with extensive charring like that.  Maybe when his hand fell out from under the oxygen tent is when he died?

I had forgotten about the "is she salvagable?" scene showing Max leaning near a doorway while the 2 docs conversed on the other side.  My take is that she was an organ donor candidate, docs just wanted to give Max happy talk, and Max decided there was nothing left for him in the old civilized life and became Mad Max.

Mad Max made sense.  Road Warrior made sense.  Beyond Thunderdome makes my head hurt.

I think I want to go with good old fashioned cooking iron.  Less warping.  Also I expect it cures and seasons like a skillet and carmelized meat bits will stick to it for more flavor when brazing. Also iron holds heat better than aluminum.

By contrast, the Le Creuset (and the ill-fated Martha Stewart-branded) dutch ovens have a non-reactive porcelain coating, which can even be run through the dishwasher....until, in the case of the one I had, a fifty-cent-piece-sized piece of the porcelain falls off.

I've got an iron wok and love it, but it is a pain to clean after each use. I'd like to have a dutch oven that didn't need hand-washing.

My husband never believed my care instructions for iron skillets until his mother said the same.  He even wanted to put one in the dishwasher.  His mother nearly killed him for that.

Constantly told to get things clean, and how we never ever get stuff clean enough.  And then being told to not wash the dirty dish.

My daughter had a friend who had a Daewoo.  The thermostat went bad, she had to order a water inlet neck. From Korea. The thermostat is molded into the water inlet neck. I told her fix it and then sell that SOB as quick as you can, take a loss if you have to, and then buy a Honda.

i love to use portuguese sausage. has a great taste. i cut it into poker chips and fry it real crisp first in the pot im gonna cook it in, so that when you put the beans in it gets that lovely taste and you can de glaze the pan for more flavor.

Oh.  Well, we never let them in the union, so whatever. 

I'm not stuck on the numbers.  I'm just throwing it out as a different system.  I had a friend who ws on foodstamps for a while.  He had six kids.  They couldn't begin to use the amount of food they could buy with their foodstamp allotment.  Also, since they had extra foodstamps there was no incentive to be frugal in their purchases.  My way would incentivise wise shopping as the person would have to take some money out of their pocket to make purchases.

I have already sent this idea to one congressman but I want to pick a few key ones to send it to.

and then anything cooked in them would taste like bacon...that's...AWESOME!

I wasn't so much trying to inform you guys, but to let you know that I wasn't expecting teflon. And, also, to point out to the adoring multitudes that "coated" covers a lot of territory. Iron has its own thing going.....but, I've got to say, for day to day.....glass, stainless, porcelain enamel, and teflon are much easier to deal with through a full "cupboard to cupboard" cycle.

Unfornately, I didn't really inherit any cookware, being that my mom (who, thankfully, is still with us) is still alive......and is in the running for the World's Worst Cook. Anything I've learned to do, I've pretty much learned since I graduated college -- so all my gear is new-ish.

I have to say, I'm really liking this concept.....but have concerns about how to implement it where I live.

Feeling better tonight, I hope?

Nope.  Fever kept down with ibuprofen so I feel ok for the most part, but if I don't take it I'm going to be burning up and freezing at the same time.

To be fair she got most of her recipes from her mom and they have such precise amounts as "to taste". After a while you just watch her slinging stuff around and don't even worry about it anymore, it's going to be good.

Posted by: MissTammy at September 25, 2011 01:52 AM (SsG4J)

If I'm whisking up the fond to make a pan sauce, I'm absolutely thinking that stainless is easier than cast iron -- you can see what you're doing, for one thing. Of course, either one beats the crap out of teflon, because with teflon you won't get any fond in the first place, and you won't get the right kind of browning.

I'm just shy of 50 now, and it's only been about 15 years since I finally started getting over the panic I had in my early 20's when faced with the prospect of making ingredients suitable for consumption. I envy people who have grown up cooking, and tried to make our godchildren comfortable with the process.

Thank God that I have no kitheh allergy..

Now back to shooting rats off the power lines behind my fence-line with my NVG's and my sniper air rifle..Mr. Daniel's eye piece n a rock glass 3 fingers...having FUN!!

Who are you calling a terrifying inter-dimensional squid?

Ford shouted out, "Hey, listen! I think we've got enough problems of our own having you shooting at us, so if you could avoid laying your problems on us as well, I think we'd all find it easier to cope!"

Another pause, and then the bullhorn again.

"Now see here, guy," said the voice, "you're not dealing with any dumb two-bit trigger-pumping morons with low hairlines, little piggy eyes and no conversation, we're a couple of intelligent caring guys that you'd probably quite like if you met us socially! I don't go around gratuitously shooting people and then bragging about it afterward in seedy space-rangers bars, like some cops I could mention! I go around shooting people gratuitously and then I agonize about it afterward for hours to my girlfriend!"

"And I write novels!" chimed in the other cop. "Though I haven't had any of them published yet, so I better warn you, I'm in a meeeean mood!"

Ford's eyes popped halfway out of their sockets. "Who are these guys?" he said.

"Dunno," said Zaphod, "I think I preferred it when they were shooting."

i have tried to post something twice. realized i theres no way i can work it to  tell you. but its stupid. shouldnt be happening.  (Like F&F) im not safer because he got drunk and bitched to me about it. But he said hes waaaay more worried about himself now than he was in Af/Pak where he just got shot. And what scary is he sounded really really sober. WHICH MEANS HES NOT DRINKING, JUST IN CASE.

Gushka loves not knowing. really really really it IS safer.

did i say enough?

OK, can we swing lunch at Merovign's and still make dinner at Richard's?

FINE!!

I also do ribs and chicken like nobody else west of Texas and FU+K OAKLAND Ca. You people rely on sauce too much to sell your trade and hide your poor meat prep...second grade bitches...second grade.

yeah. several. understatement. tho he was so pleased his leg that got shot up is no longer leaking!

im glad Grim is a good man and never gives me vapors like this. we type to each other instead of talking and he solves all my problems out here But tho i have heard him angry, i never hear him worry.

my friend is older, and his family's dead, so he worries to me.

Yes, Even I, of the left coast know the powers of the pig prep in yer parts. I know of some ham butts that have tradition going back to the civil war and are most sought after around the holiday season. A generation + 3 back, carry on the tradition to prepare the holiday ham and orders are most often placed a year in advance, such is the desire for this particular ham..this I know.

I said a prayer for all our fellow M&M's in dire striats tonight. Dang, extended family we be now it seems...never thought my posting for just fun would lead to connections that ment something...

I must confess....they do.

Night to ya Merovign...sleep well my friend.

You working?  I'm just fighting bedtime for no good reason.  Well, the beer is a good reason, but other than that...

Musician?  What instrument?  So 'rockstar' wasn't that far off?

Here's hoping you can get back to your 'habit' asap.  Although I don't think I would call 25 yrs a habit, sounds like that's just who you are...I envy your passion.  Gotta go to bed, sweet metallic dreams!

Obama's speech to the annual awards dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus was his answer to increasingly vocal griping from black leaders that he's been giving away too much in talks with Republicans -- and not doing enough to fight black unemployment, which is nearly double the national average at 16.7 percent.

So they think he has not been “liberal enough”. That shows you what a worthless pile shit this racist caucus is. I suppose this address was mainly directed at that worthless scrunt from CA, Maxine Waters. But think about this folks. When Obama tells a group of blacks to quit whining and get behind the program what does that say about the group?  And BTW, the black unemployment rate has always been roughly double that of whites. This is nothing new. The whining by the CBC is just more noise so they can get another “Pigford” payout.

We were talking the other day about the "reliability" of that Winthrop Univ poll (are lack of it). Here is another of their polls that shows you just what a POS they are

S.C. Republican and Republican-leaning voters do not want cuts to Social Security, Medicare or defense – but they might be willing to pay more taxes to help balance the country’s budget, according to a new poll from Winthrop University.

But wait

Forty-seven percent of S.C. Republican and Republican-leaning voters surveyed said they did not think it was possible to balance the budget without a tax increase, while 45 percent said a tax increase is not necessary. Seven percent said they were not sure.

Note they did not say they “wanted” tax increases. They said they didn’t think the budget could be balanced w/o them (which is also BS).

Nobody but communists and Warren Buffet “wants” a tax increase.

York on the Cain straw poll win

Evidently the key thing was Perry leaving the State to go to MI before the vote. Huh?  And everybody is claiming victory. But that is normal.

My feeling is Perry supporters who change their vote based on these BS “debates” were never real supporters to begin with. I have a wait and see attitude here. And no, I don’t expect anything different from the next debate. Just look who is sponsoring it.

Republicans MUST figure out a better way to hold real debates. I am not saying that because Perry didnÂ’t do so good. Hell, I donÂ’t think Romney did any better.  I thought Cain and Newt were the real winners but their odds of getting the nomination are long. 

Republicans MUST figure out a better way to hold real debates....
