  1. Nice work there, Sargent Schultz.
  2. Ummm... that is a rooster. Arr you sure those are eggs?
  3. The only new transactions I saw were for the Spanish Flys I baught for Aunt Gertrude.
  4. Meh. She is 80, it isn't like she can hold a grudge all that long.
  5. That is a lot like my 80 year old Aunt Gertrude's recipe, the problem is it won't make anywhere near a gallon of mayo.
  6. Of all our new users, he was the most active.
  7. It was a long cold winter, @Airehead probably ate it all. There are probably plenty of blanched lima beans though. Most people would rather starve than eat that crap.
  8. Mr. Silly

    Apples

    Honey Crisp apples are my goto. I tried Lemonaid apples over the weekend. They were fine until the finish. They had a funky after taste.
  9. Montreal hasn't been the same since Price had his troubles.
  10. I am with RG on this, go with dark meat. It is far moister.
  11. Did you make it through the winter?
  12. Probably the most advanced math I've use regularly the the, 'rise over run', equation to calculate the slope of a dynamic line graph.
  13. Outside of academics? I don't think I have.
  14. Sorry to read that RG. Being single means you get the TV to yourself and you don't have to close the door when you poop.
  15. I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes, Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer.
  16. There are two types of people. People who have been pooped in by Canadian Geese and those who will be pooped on by Canadian Geese.
  17. The crocus bravely sticking their little heads up from the still frozen lawn.
  18. It is something like: 4/1 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 - 4/11 (...)
  19. In high school, 1980'ish, a guy in my programming class calculated pi to the most digits I have ever seen in real life. I have no idea the number of digits but it was a wall of numbers that completely filled a sheet of green bar paper used with our teletype console.
  20. Carbs are listed on food packaging. Fiber, which is a carb, can be subtracted from the total since it cannot be digested. The result is call, net carbs. For fruits and vegetables, I've looked up their net carbs. There isn't that much variation from week to week with the produce we get so it isn't too big of a burden to memorize them. Some veggies, like lettuce, I treat as free-bees. The challenge is with soups, stews and other foods that are a combination of other foods. With those foods, I just guess.
  21. My endocrinologist said that my pancreas may increase its function so I could reduce my insulin usage. Measuring my glucose level and injecting insulin is my normal though and I my expectation is that it will be for the rest of my life. I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can get on my bike regularly. That should reduce the amount of insulin I need. Increase activity and reducing carbs could probably save your BIL the aggravation of having to test and inject. Don't let your BIL cut carbs too much. You need carbs to eliminate a substance called ketones. If the build up you end up with ketoacidosis. That is how I ended up in the ICU. My dietitian suggested I have at least 45 grams of cards per meal. ChrisL's told him 30. Suggest he discuss it with his doctor. My organs were shutting down, feel free to use me as a cautionary example of being too aggressive when cutting carbs. Type I diabetes is when the pancreas in not functioning at all. Someone with Type I is 100% dependent on insulin for the rest of his life. Type II diabetes means the pancreas is still functioning but not optimally. Insulin will can make up for what the pancreas is unable to do. Diet and activity can reduce the need for insulin. My endocrinologist said that diet and exercise can eliminate the need for it. There is a Type III and IV diabetes as well. One is when the pancreas is removed surgically (perhaps to treat cancer) and the other pregnant women can get and is usually temporary. I forget which is which.
  22. You could let the tea cool off then pound it like a shooter of tequila.
  23. I think the guy in the middle screwed up the arithmetic and wagered $2 more than he wanted.
