The Lounge	If Obama wins	Nov 03 2012 03:56 (UTC)	13
This is in answer to the question: How will you feel if Obama gets re-elected? I will be dancing in the street when Obama wins. Romney makes me ill. The more i learn about him the more I dislike him. He has flopped on every stance he has taken. He has lied, the republicans have used underhanded means to frighten people and I find him distasteful. His record in MA and his work with the Salt Lake Winter Olympics speak for themselves, he bilked the federal government out of 410 billion for the Salt Lake Olympics even getting 1 million of Board of Education money, and then boasting about the deceit and later lying when questioned. He's embroiled in a ponzi scheme for 8- billion dollars, he has just been charged by the United Automobile Workers (UAW) and other public interest groups with violating the federal ethics in government law by improperly concealing his multi-million dollar windfall from the auto industry bailout. He will cut Obamacare, but also says he will cut an additional 710 billion, he does this not like Obama who negotiated lower fees and costs to doctors and hospitals but by raising fees and costs to the seniors they will lose everything they gained from Obamacare and have to pay more for co-pays on doctors visits, hospital stays, emergency room visits, perscription drugs, and durable medical equipment. He doesn't tell people that, they have to find that out for themselves. They will also lose the donut hole help that obamacare provided and the free annual exams. As Governor he cut 26 million dollars from the budget on programs that went directly to the poor, seniors, disabled, vets and middle class. Democrats repealed the cuts before they went into effect, thats the only reason he can claim he worked with the dems. They saved those cuts and by closing loopholes and making other smaller cuts was able to balance the budget without risking the poor and middle class-no thanks to Romney. During his first year in office, the state legislature overrode Romney vetoes that would have imposed cuts of $7.5 million for children and young families, $3.8 million in mental health services, $2.8 million for cervical cancer and breast cancer detection and research, $1.1 million in services for people with physical disabilities and $1 million for veterans. Proponents of these programs said that while they had little impact on the state's overall budget, they were critical for the populations they served, and in many cases saved the state money on health care expenses and other costs. Romney's Overriden Cuts Include: Legal aid -- $7,564,132 Mental health legal aid -- $501,085 Cervical/breast cancer -- $2,784,551 Turning 22 -- new clients (helping intellectually and physically disabled young adults live independently) $36,500 Holyoke Soldiers' Home long-term care fees -- $579,000 Nurse's aide scholarships -- $250,000 Regional emergency medical services -- $1,246,896 Newborn hearing screening -- $83,060 Suicide prevention -- $125,000 Prostate cancer prevention: -- $1,000,000 Healthy Families (counseling for young parents) -- $6,677,891 Housing Services Program -- $221,925 Medical assistance eligibilty for the blind -- $100,000 Commission for the Blind -- $213,456 Turning 22 services -- $131,240 Veterans' Outreach Centers -- $165,000 Ferguson Industries for the Blind -- $200,000 Community Services for the Blind -- $250,000 Independent living (aid for people with disabilities) -- $220,000 Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing -- $128,235 Early Intervention Services (for children w/ developmental delays) -- $697,132 Turning 22 community services for adults with intellectual and physical disabilities-- $150,155 Community mental health centers -- $3,000,000 Breast cancer detection and research -- $35,678 Chelsea Soldiers' Home -- $250,000 AIDS prevention and treatment -- $150,000 Total: $26,760,936 Mitt Romney May Be Finished http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yR_Mn4Skt4&am p;feature=youtu.be
Calorie Count	Calorie Target Calculator: Re-evaluate formulas OR add a disclaimer!	Jul 05 2012 04:29 (UTC)	1
I totally agree with you, when I see some of the younger people here who are so proud of the huge deficits they post I want to just cry for them, they have no idea what they are doing to their bodies and their health. They need more information and a better way to calculate their caloric needs.

Sorry, I am not a fan of the new dashboard. I was very happy with the old version and have switched back. Why fix something that wasn't broken.

Weight Loss	How did everyone do this Christmas??	Dec 27 2011 02:35 (UTC)	14
Christmas was great. I overdid it on the cookies, but I allow myself to overdo a bit on the holidays and just try to eat lighter for the next few days.
Calorie Count	Some website changes I really don't like.	Dec 27 2011 02:15 (UTC)	4
I understand your feelings, but for me I think the words "Supporters and Supporting" fit the purpose better than "friends" we are all here because we need a little help or "support" if you will. Friends are great but they don't always understand the problems we deal with. Supporters are people who cope with similar issues and can empathize with you as well as offer useful information on how to overcome the problems we face. They celebrate our successes and commiserate our failures. They give us perspective.

Our family always drinks a coke that has been shaken up. It always helps within a few minutes.
Calorie Count	New Recipe Analyzer	May 15 2011 23:14 (UTC)	117
I find that once I have entered a recipe that the amount of the individual ingredients weight is increased in proportion to the number of servings. I can't figure out why this is happening. I put in the ingredients for the full recipe which should then be divided by the servings. It seems to be multiplying everything except the actual calories those seem to be correct. For instance I put in 8 oz of carrots it now shows 32 oz, etc. it's the same with all the ingredients.
