Re: Off Topic 2013

Do any of you guys ever take dreams as signs (especially when they are out of place compared to other dreams you normally have) or is that just a thing of the movies?

I do, since most of my dreams end up happening eventually.

Moving is fun......I done it a hell of a lot in my life time. But then again I'm the adventurous type, runs in my bloodline. The thought of staying in one state forever bores us. Lived in every region of the USA.

If you're really adventurous move to Quebec (I believe your lady is from there no?)

I really don't find moving fun. Stressful, worth it, but not fun.

I live in Vermont, which is nothing but Quebec south. Not too much difference.

Southwest, mainly because a lot of Chicago and other Midwestern cities moved down there. Seems as though every time somebody from the midwest develop lung cancer from smoking too much in their life time, they move to the southwest. Over all, it is just a way more laid back, accept everybody from all walks of life vibe down there.

Re: Off Topic 2013

It was an Instagram meetup.

The thing about it is, that mall is actually probably the safest place besides LSU in Baton Rouge.

The mall at Cortana is the sketchy mall. It's pretty weird.

Deeper than I thought..

Now you've seen a CJ5 jeep almost completely submerged


About 10 seconds later, this girl threw something at the guy standing on the back of the jeep and he fell off.. LOL.

Is that TJ?

."Pass The Butter ... Please.

This is interesting . .. .

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who ...had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.

It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavourings....

DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?

Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.

Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.


Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!

Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of other foods.

Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .

And now, for Margarine..

Very High in Trans fatty acids.

Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...

Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)

Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..

Lowers quality of breast milk

Decreases immune response.

Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing fact... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT.

These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:


* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)




* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.



Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

^^ that's crazy. I can't remember the last time I just chose butter over margarine. That won't be happening anymore though. I didn't know any of that about margarine. Which really makes me think I should be more aware of the things I eat and put into body.

There ya go, I guess I've got a pretty decent New Years resolution now, to be more aware of the foods I eat.

Make sure you get your food facts from legitimate sources and actually understand the reasoning behind everything and how it interacts, not a chain-mail that has been passed around about many foods.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Yeah you definitely need to pay more attention to what is contained in the food you buy, especial so called diet food. Those things be loaded with sodium.
