... could replace "Fat Bottom" with "Pear Shaped", and you could still sing it.

"Left alone with pear shaped fanny, she was such a naughty nanny"

 

Yeah, i guess it would work.

The sound teeth make as they are scraped across a fork.

I know I said it many peeves ago, but table manners are a huge big deal for me. I do not want to see or hear anything about the food once the bite gets to a person's mouth.


flushed a huge cockroach @ work last night.

I am a roach murderer.


pffft, you didn't murder him, you just sent him on a grand water adventure
now he'll have stories to tell his buddies, "so sorry, guys, I didn't have my camera on me so no pics"

The sound of a fork scraping across a ceramic plate makes my teeth hurt.


Migraines.

$5/pill migraine prescriptions.

Migraines that last 3 days.

Isn't it crazy? I end up suffering a lot longer because I keep thinking I can break it with OTC stuff. When I finally DO swallow that $8 pill (on my plan), I have to ask myself why I kept waiting.

It's ridiculous that one dose of medicine costs more than lunch.


mom2jel said:   Migraines.

How many hours does the pill last for?

If it's 5 - That's like spending a dollar an hour to make you happy. Sounds like a cheap price to me.

which begs the question - what are texts like between FW'ers who are dating?

"hunny, i luv when u talk coupons with me"

"sweet cheeks, u r cuter than one of grapegrl's lolcats"

"baby, tonight you be bad poster and i'll be the mod"

"you make all my random thoughts dirty"

"saw ur post of 'nothing' in 'what r u wearing' thread. b rite there"

LOL, I never looked at it that way before. Cheapo me still has a hard time using up $30 copay worth of migraine pills every month tho.


For the love of GOD, why won't my report complete?!?!?!?!
It's only pulling back ~60 records out of 3.5 million; and then trimming those 60 a bit more!


Scabies. Great.

That SO sucks. Major PITA.

Sorry KKH.

Yall should say something when I get my 5 minutes of fame. I don't monitor this place much.

It's more of a function working out in rural BFE, as opposed to real trauma


Progresso soup: why isn't one serving the entire can? Does anyone heat and eat half a can? How can you accurately measure out liquid and veggies equally?

And while I'm on nutritional labels, what's with the "about 2" on servings? They've measured the amounts of ingredients going in. They don't say "about 80 calories" on the nutritional label.

Traditionally, servings are determined by calorie count - a serving of bannana is half a banana, simply because a half a banana has the number of calories that are considered a serving of fruit. But makers of processed food get to announce serving sizes they want, so they may reduce the serving size to make the product seem healthier. A serving of potato chips might be 6 chips, a serving of hershey bar might be a single square. or whatever.

yeah, it was a frustrated, pointless rant. I recognized the "healthy" manipulation and really resent the fact that the company thinks the public is *that* stupid.


webferret said:   Does anyone heat and eat half a can?

I rarely eat canned soup due to the sodium level but, yes, I've eaten half the can many times. The other half goes in the refrigerator, forgotten, until it's moldy and I throw it out.

what's with the "about 2" on servings?

I usually see that when a serving is 8 ounces and the can is 15 ounces. I wish they'd just tell me the nutrition info for the whole can rather than make me have to convert the info to ounces and multiply.

I eat about half as well. But usually I eat something else with the soup.

On the other hand, I am always annoyed that those cheap ramen noodles are two servings.

When you say you eat half, do you measure out half or do you end up throwing away about half...like a lot of excess broth or whatever.

I keep emergency cans at the office for days when I forget to pack something decent and can't get away. Usually I'll have just soup, no crackers or sandwich or anything else. Typically, I won't finish off all of the broth. Most, but not all.

I usually put the entire thing in a pot to heat up. When I do, I add a little bit of water. Then I serve it in a soup bowl and keep the remaining in a tapper for another meal.

I don't measure it, but it seems to make two servings for me fine.


shots in the hip...or in general.

Now we see if I'm allergic to it. Yay
