I’m on a dating site where recently I came across the profile of a gentleman in a wheel chair—he lost both legs to H1N1. I had no idea that could actually happen.

Respectfully, that seems like an overwhelming amount of sugar--did you really mean an entire cup?

Wish I had seen this! Lived and worked in São Paulo a long time ago!

I don’t think I’ve had this exact situation as a parent, but I know that I would have not known what to do, and sadly, I might have done all the jerk things. :( I’m embarrassed to admit that, but want to share that from my place of total ignorance, I find this article is amazing and enlightening. I really appreciate…

News flash: not all alcoholics understand what a black out is or may have grown up with completely different terminology to describe alcoholic drinking behaviors like blacking out. I’m a recovering alcoholic 3 years younger than KavaNope. Back in the day, we called it passing out if we literally passed out (although…

You’ve got to be an amazing douche bag for your former drinking buddies to expose you as the liar you are, so many years later...

Survivor here, and I give you permission not to feel bad.  I don’t wish sexual violence on anyone, but when you deliberately work against the interest of other survivors, you do not deserve thoughts, prayers, pity, etc.  She made her choice, now she can live with it, as the GOP is so fond of saying.

Hey man, that meal is both vegan AND keto.

You have described it perfectly—and congratulations on finding something that works for you. That walk before you head home? It’s a heroic victory. Well done.

It does.  Anything over zero is a victory.

Thanks for this—I don’t have the time to try to hit 10K on most work days. I really think these notions that “if you aren’t moving at a certain level or in a certain way, it isn’t helpful” needs to be done away with. You can even see it with some of the comments here, that walking isn’t exercise, etc.

You’re allowed to have your opinion and be wrong. :) You can tell your opinion that I dropped from a size 26 to a size 20 with—you guessed it—walking fueling the change.

Definitely doesn’t make it too sweet.  It’s actually incredibly neutral, and perhaps augments onions more than anything.  

In the case of the traditional Inuit diet, organ meats and whale fat contain enough Vitamin C to stave off scurvy.

Golden beets are fantastic for homemade chicken broth!

I’m a single working mom, and for part of my initial IP madness, I was also in school finishing a degree—so basically working 2 full time jobs and parenting solo. I think I might be one of the fanatics (and therefore not sane), but that’s only because the IP has provided me with such time savings.

Back in the day when I rented a professional grade breast pump, my insurance company denied it outright.  Breast pumps qualify as what are called durable medical goods, and many insurance plans cover those.

Ashland brought their A game today.

In other news, both Portland and Eugene were surprised to be out woo-wooed by Ashland.

Huh. I don’t feel tired at all. I found introducing some daily exercise and cutting out sugar really helped.
