Small Talk: Only 2 Ounces Of Commenting Allowed
Quof replied to Meredith Quill's topic in My 600-lb Life
I was once prescribed a medication for my chronic insomnia. It didn't work, so my doctor couldn't justify prescribing it any longer. But while I took it, I was never hungry. I wasn't nauseated. Food tasted perfectly fine when I ate it. I just never felt the need to eat. Mid-afternoon, I would realize I hadn't eaten a bite since getting up, so ate something just because I thought I should. I also realized I never felt full; I went to a small dinner party, where all the guests ate all of the same courses. By the end of the evening, everyone was moaning "I'm stuffed, I couldn't eat another bite." I could have eaten the entire meal over again. I lost 15 pounds in about 5 weeks without even thinking about it. I'm sure there's a scientific study there somewhere! -
Tim Horton's is evil. Really. Their coffee is nasty. Their food is pre-made, flash frozen and shipped all over the country. And their cups alone are responsible for a ridiculous proportion of all landfill in Canada, but only after they have sat littering the landscape for a time. Not to mention the emissions from all the vehicles lined up in the drive-thrus that are on almost every street corner.

A co-worker did WW and lost a lot of weight, but she was absolutely obsessive about points - talking constantly about what she ate and how much she exercised. One morning, she came in crying because a guy had dumped her because she had a "weight issue." A co-worker later said "Isn't it awful he dumped her because he thought she was fat?" I said "He said he dumped her because of a weight issue. She does have a weight issue; she is obsessed with her weight." It was annoying to listen to her talk about it through the workday. I can only imagine what it would be like on a date. -
Really? In my family, we like to say Only the Second Baby Takes 9 Months. The first often miraculously gestates in 5-8 months. As to buying condoms, Jessa and Ben can buy them the same way I taught all my friends' teenagers - go to a supermarket with self-scan checkout, buy a few items in addition to the condoms and no one will even notice you scan them.

McManda, are you me???? I've never met another -10, -8.5! I also wear my contacts all day, every day, except for those few moments after getting up/before going to sleep. My ophthalmologist yells at me every year, but I really can't see with my glasses.

Barefoot Contessa in the Media: Whipping Up Some Publicity
Quof replied to schnauzergirl's topic in Barefoot Contessa
It's hard for a busty woman to find a button-down shirt that stays closed at the bust, particularly when moving around cooking. If I could afford it, I would have dozens custom made in every colour. As it is, I've simply given up on blouses. -
The soul mate Phoebe found for Monica talks about sun-dried tomatoes. "It's a shame people can't visit there."
-
Will Colbert (Brad Pitt) Luisa Gianetti (animal control) Chip Matthews (Rachel's old boyfriend) Who sat next to Rachel when she flew to London to stop Ross' wedding?
-
Miss Manners disagrees with you. She says thanks should be sent as soon as a gift is received. I agree with her.
-
U is for the Ultrasound when Phoebe learned it was triplets.
-
Are you talking about the (myth) "rule" that a couple has a year to send a thank you for a wedding gift?? Total BS, made up by a lazy/rude bride and groom. You don't "have" a year to express thanks for any other type of gift, why would you get a year just because it's a wedding gift?
-
Does anyone actually believe Jerick will send you thank you card for the baby gifts? They haven't had time to send thank yous for the wedding gifts (and I'm pretty sure they didn't send those anyway.)
-
R is for Rachel's suspected broken Rib, which caused Ross to miss his tv appearance.
-
Bay City Rollers! Who dropped a condom in Phoebe's guitar case?
-
She is involved in commercials - whether directing, producing, etc, is never made clear. I think you've earned the right to ask the next question.
-
P is for the pills Judy Geller gave Ross when he fell in a grave (not ditch).

You might not be issued a citation for violating traffic laws. You will very likely be held civilly liable to the other driver in the event of an accident. There's a difference between "legally permitted" and "smart and safe."

We have had this left turn discussion at least three times on this forum. Those of us with legal knowledge - lawyers, police - have all chimed in to say Don't Pull Into the Intersection.

Yep! Ick!

G is for Frank Jr's Gonads. Which Frank Jr Jr ran into with his bike helmet, because he had no free hands to protect his area.

Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"
Quof replied to Betweenyouandme's topic in Everything Else
You mean like the bread smell at Subway? I must stop going to my gym. I hate working out, plus something annoys me every time I go. Tonight, two women in their early twenties were talking in the locker room. I surmised they were teachers. One was talking about reading assistance she was providing to a young boy. "I was talking to the parents about finding books he will enjoy, so he will like to read and not get FUSTRATED." Said by a teacher. SMH -
Joey's childhood friend Maurice was imaginary. And a space cowboy. What was Susan's job?
-
The woman who was barely wheeled into Rachel's room, then immediately wheeled to the delivery room without stopping.
-
Knotted Up 'Nads boy was certainly "off". Maybe he connected with Sally in the green room after the taping. They both had some odd gesticulations and tics going on.

Duncan. What tv and film actress talks to Joey and Chandler about adopting a baby when they take Ben on the bus?
