That’s not what it is. When your body burns fat for fuel (nothing to do with starving — if a body’s primary source is carbs it’s going to burn carbs for fuel) your cells release ketones. One can overeat on Keto just as they can with a higher carb diet. They can still be in ketosis and also not be starving.

It’s not a starvation state. It does create a more sated state, but unless decreasing calories to lose weight (within healthy limits, no different from any other accepted way of healthy eating), one eats normal calories in a day. There is nothing about it that is starvation. It’s having your body be optimized to burn…

I watched every episode and (like most viewers) knew who most of the contestants were. Donny and Gladys were the most obvious imo. T-Pain was a real surprise to me, which made the finale especially fun. I was convinced the monster was CeeLo. I don’t mind the order of the results, as it wasn’t really a singing…

If there is every anything that rivals that, then God help us all.

Just one that is dismissive of young voters, not too concerned with taxing rich, and has campaigned for a republican in the last election.  Please, no.  There is a lot I admire about Biden as a human, but he won’t be the right choice to accomplish what I want from my next president.  We have to separate the lovable,…

But you both leave out that it was for a nine-day whirlwind tour supporting other candidates, with 18 events in 9 states. 

This was my question when I read about this a few days ago.  Where are they?  How long was he gone?  These are important details. 

We have six cats (I know, I know... but don’t worry, we’re not hoarders — all are spayed/neutered and up to date on their shots and vet appointments — we’re just passionate about animal rescue.) Of them, three are extremely vocal, and it’s one of the things I love most in life. Two male tuxedo cats and a female Torbie…

Actually, I sort of agree with you. I used to love the eggs/pumpkins/trees as well. But it seems to me in the last year that they’ve thinned those out as well. I’m not sure if was the trees or the pumpkins where I first noticed a change in shape and fullness, but there have lately been some certain changes.

Reese’s are a marvel because they achieve the absolute perfect peanut butter to chocolate ratio. Thins will be an abomination.

Ugh, one of ours scratches not at the door, but on the wall.  It’s the creepiest.  [Adds dryer balls to cart]

I’m so sorry for your loss, and commend you for sharing your difficult story. I hope others can come to realize that putting restrictions on late term abortion is needlessly cruel to mothers and their very-much-wanted children.

There definitely needs to be a content warning preceding any headline that includes “Trump” and “Making Out”.  I need to go bleach my brain.

Off topic, but can someone please hurry and trap that thing atop his head? When it’s worse than the creature my >70yo Uncle Jim sports, you know it’s bad. Dude, come on.

I constantly recommend this article. I was one of those people who supported choice enthusiastically, but thought if there were to be an exception, it should be for late-term abortions. I never really thought much about why a late-term abortion would be performed because I was young and did not know (fortunately)…

Have to admit this is my first thought as well, lol.

Thank you. The only reason he had been at at that Middle School is that the district refused our request for a program for autistic students, because they didn’t want to pay for it, and had promised us in another year there would be enough other students on the spectrum that they would have a program of their own. We…

My favorite cover of all time is Steven Wilson’s cover of Alanis Morrissette’s Thank You. Makes me appreciate the original in a way I never had.

If the girls are to be believed -- and I, a member of the community does believe them and think others should, too -- they were forced to removed their clothing down to their undergarments.  One unclothed to her bra and panties, Two unclothed to their bras and leggings that they had on under their jeans, and the…
