The Lounge That canned cranberry jelled crap .... Nov 18 2009

I love canned cranberry!  The thing I love MOST about it is that it retains the shape of the can and looks extra classy when my mom dumps it out and serves it in a crystal bowl.  I like to cut my slice from one of the indents from the can.  No, I am NOT joking.

 EWW, my dad doesn't want that from me!  A lot of these other ideas are good though.... Thanks!  The problem I have with tech gifts is that people are pretty particular about what they want if they're into tech stuff, so it's hard to pick something out without them telling you the exact specific model they want, and then they know what they're getting Undecided

Health & Support what is underweight to you? Nov 16 2009

I think you're underweight when you start having physical problems due to your low weight--being cold all the time, hair fall, bad skin, tired all the time, hungry all the time, losing periods, etc.  If you have symptoms, you have a problem. 

or if you are going to extreme lengths to achieve/maintain the low weight.

bier: No, it's not like a residue, it's like it took the color right out, like bleach does.  It's so strange!

adolphs: I use liquid detergent.  it's Tide high efficiency detergent--it's the only soap I use. 

Yes, I agree that these front-loading machines are crap.  I've had nothing but problems with it.  It's supposed to save so much water, but the loads have to be way smaller.  It's supposed to be quiet, but mine sounds like a plane is taking off in my basement.  It's been clogged up and quit running halfway through cycles, leading to washing the same clothes 2 or 3 cycles, repeatedly and we had to get that fixed.  The door of the machine didn't go on right and wouldn't close properly, and we had to get that fixed...And it's been systematically ruining our clothes since we got it.  Gimme the old fashioned kind any day!!

Health & Support Has anyone had any experiences with the drug Buspirone (Buspar)? Nov 15 2009

it was my understanding that buspirone/buspar isn't used very much anymore as there are a lot of other drugs that are more reliably effective, that buspar is pretty hit or miss.  one time my doctor suggested it as an option, so i asked him about that, and he basically said "yeah, pretty much."

Have you been cleaning your washer every few months with the recommended cleaning discs?  You can buy them at department and grocery stores.

No, what is that?  Never heard of it.

I used to work in a high-end appliance store doing office admin but I trained to go into sales at one point.

Do you use fabric softner? It's more likely to discolor and spot clothes than detergent. Maybe there's some caked in the machine.

Have you run an empty load using distilled white vinegar? The vinegar should break down any residue in your machine.

I don't use fabric softener.  I have used the white vinegar in the machine.  This is why I wonder if it is really soap buildup.  The machine is about 1.5 yrs old.

I contacted Frigidaire's customer service department, and they had no suggestions or advice for me at all other than to hire someone to come look at it.  I don't want to pay someone to come look at it. 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Original Post by sonnysideup:

Ok, why wouldn't this work?

 

If you're supposed to eat smaller meals more often because eating more often "stokes the coals" of your metabolism. Why dont you just eat normally, but have a small amount of food that is very low cal (i.e. a single handful of popcorn). every hour on the hour throughout the day.

And, of course, reducing carbs at meal time to compensate.  But then you would literally always be making your metabolic functions process something. While still eating normally at appropriate times.

So is this a dumb idea or not. I honestly don't know. I'm sure there is some flaw here, cause I can't imagine I am the first person to think of this. love to hear comments.

-Sonny


I tend to eat small meals throughout the day, and sometimes I do eat more like 100 calories an hour.  the only downside i have noticed is that when I eat that way I will feel like either A) I haven't eaten REAL FOOD all day and then overeat on a meal or B) I've been eating all day long on low-cal foods and end up restricting too much and undereat.
