Why can't chocolate have the same effects. Heck, even tootsie rolls or gummi bears would do. I mean, the things I hate consuming (gum makes my jaw hurt, coffee gives me headaches) have to have good side effects. What about the stuff I like, scientists? Quick, get on it and prove the good effects of Polo breath mints,…

That's not true! Please stop the rumour mongering, this is sort of like when people are all "facebook-will-make-you-pay". I deleted Google+ and my Gmail, Docs and Reader are still untouched. Google even explicitly tells you this is several places when you delete your account.

I used to do that, but you cannot keep track of replies that way, I think.

For other unfortunate motion-sick souls: crushing raw ginger and inhaling the smell seems to work for me as well. As does crushing lemon-tree leaves (which I guess are not handy ) or the skin from kaffir limes also work sometimes.

In the words of the Bard:

I must say that this comment thread was really enjoyable to read. Cookies for all of you!

Haha, that's always me. I really am sorry to bother people at a grocery store, but I'm a scatterbrain and I always miss the ginormous signs and have to ask the customer service. And I'm always like *facepalm* afterwards.

It's also this high-school nerd's best friend.

I agree with you, with the one exception: don't throw the food away, refrigerate it and eat it for the next meal.

I just stay at college during christmas. Since we're most of us broke, my friends and I bake for each other. (I always end up making something out of smitten kitchen). And then I spend my time sleeping and catching up on TV shows, and eating tons of cookies and Thai food. I love it. I know this is your typical lonely…

Another useful program is BlueJ. I accidentally dicovered it in 7th grade, and practically learnt Java from the few example programs that came with it.

Well, we people are sometimes rather illogical about food choices. Just because they know the original is not something they approve of doesn't mean they won't often crave it. I know eating a boxful of oreos is bad for me, but sometimes I manage to eat the entire box-ful anyway. Not all vegans are masters of…

Ear piercings are not permanent. Mine closed two years ago after I neglected to wear an ear-ring for some 7+ years. They get smaller, or bigger or close depending on what you wear in your piercing.

You too???? Me too!!! And I thought I was the only weirdo who did that ! (except the husband. No husband yet.)

My roommate from my freshman year had issues about eating too. She was heavier than me and our other roommate (I play water polo and back then I used to dislike junk food— this was before I starting using Snickers bars as a way to deal with stress, so I used to be pretty toned and fit) and everytime I ate any…

My parents are total food-pushers. Because I used to be a really picky eater as a kid, they still think they need to tell me what and when to eat. In the last year or so, I've had a rough time of things and I'd started bingeing, like eating 16 cookies at a go or an entire box of candy bars. I'd gained a couple of…

Nothing tastes better than apple pecan pie (that's pecan crust + apple fillings). But that "Cheesecake tastes better" is absolutely the best response to that quote. OF ALL TIME.

My mum does this all the time when I'm home. Lately, in the final days of HS, I'd started eating lunch right when she was too busy to notice, and I'd bolt it down in 5 seconds before she figured out I was eating.

Oh I don't know? Maybe the girls parents' sent their brothers to college, but made them stay home and cook because they're girls? (Actually, happened to an Irish American friend's mother)
