That TV station barely produces its own news shows. Ya think they'd put us on TV? Only if we showed up on the police blotter.cl15876 wrote:I am regular, you are regular, there is TV station down the street! You may look like a celebrity, but not I so we are half way there!!!!

Shockingly, it misses its supposed aim of acceptance and respect for people of all shapes and sizes and ends up being a wildly exploitative facsimile of every other such show.
So tired of reality TV stars who look like celebrities.

When you skip pages, you get talked about. You missed all those posts about you, Ozzie.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:Another 14 pages skipped. Oh, well.YmoBeThere wrote:Sox won also. Bucholz pitched well.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:I just skipped ahead 22 pages. I'm not going to look back at them.
Oh, the Yankees won 3-2 tonight, getting a walk-off home run from Nick Swisher. It was his second home run of the game!
The Yankees are now 90-50 for the season, and 39-13 since the All Star break. That's .750 baseball! Wow!
Yes, the Red Sox won big last night. Big Poppi (sp?) has regained his stroke. They kept pace at 9 games behind with 22 games left. Of course, they do have a 2 game lead in the wild card race, so another October face off is almost inevitable!

It is nearing lunchtime...I am getting hungry but I'm afraid to leave my PC for fear of the number of posts that will collect while I am gone.

Re: LTE 2.0
I hate milk, too. When I was in Head Start (yes, my parents were THAT poor), my teacher made me drink my milk at lunch one day. I told her that I didn't like it. She told me that I WOULD drink it. In fact, she stood over me until I drank it.DukeUsul wrote:Wanna know something weird? I hate milk. Loathe it. Can't stomach it.CellR wrote:I really like milk. I've had a lot of it recently.
But I LOOOOOVVVVVVVE chocolate milk. Odd huh?
And 30 seconds after I drank it, she was running off to find a mop and some towels because I regurgitated the milk and the cheeseburger I'd eaten all over the cafeteria table. And after she cleaned all that up, she put me in her car and she drove me home.
That teacher also taught me in second grade. She never, ever insisted again that I drink my milk.
Nor did any other teacher. Word gets around.

Re: LTE 2.0
I like chocolate milk....I don't like 'plain' milk...unless
1) warm chocolate chip cookies
2) chocolate cake
3) chocolate brownies
are available. Then I will drink regular milk.

Yes, I detest artificial sweeteners. They call us "Supertasters."DukeUsul wrote:Is anyone else here like me who thinks artificial sweeteners taste bitter and gross? I'd rather drink water than anything with artificial sweetener in it.YmoBeThere wrote:DukeUsul wrote:Can someone explain to me Gatorade G2?

I continue to pump as many artifical sweeteners and preservatives into my body so as to save it for all posterity.

I crashed at some friends' house a couple of nights this weekend, and they're non-coffee drinkers. All they had was Folger's crystals. Bleccch.

Yes! We have posted about this before.bjornolf wrote:Yes, I've posted on here before about it. The ability to taste saccharin and other artificial sweeteners is genetic. If you can taste them, you're NOT going to like that kind of stuff no matter what. When I was in 7th grade, our science teacher did an experiment with us. He said that if you licked the saccharin strips he provided and tasted something bitter, you would never like diet coke, but that if you licked it and couldn't taste anything, then you might as well drink diet. We had all kinds in our class. Some couldn't taste anything, some were slightly put off by it. I almost puked. I had the most violent reaction he'd ever seen. I had to run out of the room and spend about five minutes at the water fountain before I could stagger back into the room with my eyes still tearing. It was HORRIBLE. And I have YET to find a diet drink I could stomach. I was able to drink Diet Pepsi for about a month, but eventually decided the misery just wasn't worth it and went back to the real stuff.DukeUsul wrote:Is anyone else here like me who thinks artificial sweeteners taste bitter and gross?

You're a Super Taster, too.

Folgers crystals is not coffee by any sane definition of the word
