    Chocoholics Anyomous meeting has come to order.....

    I know I'm on a diet but my favorite chocolate bar is ... I won't consider myself a chocaholic by any means. I only get 'em once in a while on impulse buy when it's right in front of your face. ;)

    Do you have a crush?

    That's how it starts. My female co-worker (13 yrs. younger than me) started holding my hand because she had a crush on me. She was cute too, so I got carried away :eek: But she's gone now. Oh well ... [huh]

    The Diet Fad

    That's what I thought too until I understood the basic concept of the negative calorie effect on this food group. While carbohydrates provide calories for the body, they also have ways of counteracting the storage of some of these calories as fat, and also encourage the burning of stored...

    The Diet Fad

    I got this book on "The Negative Calorie Effect" wherein you could actually eat your way into losing weight in unlimited portions as long as you stick to these 20 foods in any combination... Corn, Rice, Potatoes, Lettuce, Brocolli, Carrots, Black Beans, Kidney Beans, Spinach, Lentils, Celery...

    The Diet Fad

    Oh yeah, I'm happily married for 20 yrs.:) Dec. 19th was our 20th anniversary. I guess my point is that being married brings "familiarity" along with the physical aspect. When you become so familiar with one another, you tend to take each other for granted that you let things go. Sooner or...

    The Diet Fad

    With every new year, comes a resolution. And one of the most popular one is to lose weight (which is also mine, BTW). But if we really try to analyze this "trend", what is it that really drives us to do so? Is it to look good? For who? Are we trying to be sexy for someone else to be...

    Let's See That Tree!

    We're the early birds in our cul-de-sac. Wifey already put up the Christmas lights outside the day before Thanksgiving, and we put up the tree yesterday. So there it is! No gifts underneath yet. :) We also had our traditional Thanksgiving dinner as usual: Butterball turkey, mashed...

    The Dreaded Dennis Semler

    I just might have to do that, but what I've been doing so far was for my employer to deduct $100/month for U.S. Savings Bond. I've built up some funds on that area over the years but left it untouched :) I know what you mean :)

    The Dreaded Dennis Semler

    Yeah, here it is ... a statement from my Tulsa County Treasurer collecting his annual property tax for the year 2007. Just like clockwork when you need your funds the most to prepare for the holidays, comes the big property tax bill from Mr. Semler for the amount of $1369.00 due by Dec. 31st...

    Be A Vintage Geek!

    Yes, it's weird but COOL. There's nothing like it and you know you'll be the center of attention. I have gotten a lot of comments about this watch already. People want to know where I got it but I tell them it's not available in the U.S. Anyway, this watch is made for unisex too (so I think...

    Be A Vintage Geek!

    It might not go with your fedora, but why not look like a "vintage geek" ... or is there such a thing? :D What I have here is a unique timepiece without hands, without digits ... huh :eek: What a novelty of a retro yet futuristic geek gadget this is. This is not your typical watch that...

    The resurgence of Vinyl & the end of CDs?

    I have several CD's myself as I've amassed a collection of them since their debut in 1990. I got very excited at first expecting to hear a perfect musical reproduction of distortion free music from this magical silvery disc. They were smaller than LP's and the convenience was superb with the...
