  1. They would do full-page ads in the Sunday supplement of the newspaper - personal testimonies about the heartache and misery of trying over and over to lose weight and failing - YET AGAIN, until they discoverd Ayds.
  2. And actually, one of the Kellogg brothers were originally affiliated with the guys in Dansville NY who developed the precursor, which they called "granula," to the flaked breakfast cereals that the Kelloggs were known for.
  3. correct - their resort was in Battle Creek Michigan. The upstate New York thing was another party inventing something other than corn flakes, showing that breakfast cereals go back to the mid-19th century. I have actually seen the resort in upstate New York - it was deserted and we walked through the woods to get a closer look at it.
  4. Are you positive? I have read that flaked breakfast cereals were invented in the mid-19th century as health foods to correct various digestive ailments. The Kellogg brothers were both 7th-day Adventist health nuts.
  5. A granola-like breakfast cereal was invented in the mid-19th century at a health resort in upstate New York. Will Keith Kellogg and his brother John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes in the late 19th century. He and his brother were both 7th Day Adventists and together founded the Battle Creek Sanitarium - a high-end health resort that espoused the lifestyle principles of the 7th day Adventist Church. They invented flaked breakfast cereals originally to serve to the patrons of their toney health resort as a treatment for various digestive problems.
  6. give me hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal and/or whole wheat toast, and a little bit of fruit.
  7. I just don't understand why somebody shouldn't eat a hot dog with a knife and fork if that's what they want to do. I wouldn't but that's just me.
  8. I look either for certifications or experience.
  9. Gorgeous - much preferable to Beckham's
  10. Damn - that's amazing! Knowing what a mofo orthopedic surgeries are, I don't think I would undergo one for mostly cosmetic reasons.
  11. I have a colleague who practices lemon law in SoCal.
  12. I don't think it will - this is Kaiser, and they know exactly what they are doing WRT prescribing opiates. The 90 Norco were to cover my last couple of weeks preceding a surgery and then pain control post-op. All their policies are spelled out in black and white.
  13. Not long ago, my PC doc gave me a script for 90 Norco. The pharmacy didn't have it on hand and I had to wait a couple days for it.
  14. A couple years ago, I took cymbalta prior to a hip replacement because opioids are an absolute no-no before joint replacement surgery. I was surprised at how well it worked - norco would have been much better, but since it wasn't an option, I made do with the cymbalta.
  15. My father managed an old, old restaurant that had fabulous desserts. They had a mocha cake that knocked your socks off, wonderful napoleons and chocolate eclairs and they were famous for their chocolate cream pie. Great apple pie, pumpkin pie and custard pie. A while ago, I made a custard pie. My husband hadn't heard of them and he didn't think it sounded very good. He was shocked that something that sounded so bland tasted so good.
  16. In the 70s guests would say, "Look! I brought some Entenmanns." And I would think,"So?"
  17. Very nice face - body is pretty meh..
  18. "Cacciatore" is Italian for "hunter." Hunter-style means a dish made wit hunter sauce - no matter the country hunter sauce has mushrooms. In France, sauce chasseur is made with brown sauce and mushrooms. In Germany, Jaeger sauce is made brown sauce, mushrooms, usually bacon. In Italy, cacciatore sauce is made from tomato, onion, bell pepper and mushroom.
  19. I would sautee the chicken breasts and use the pan drippings to flavor the sauce and only add the sauteed chicken at the very end to keep it from overcooking.
  20. Better and worse. My retirement savings have appreciated a subsatantial amount. I have close to 1 million in equity in our house. On the negative side I came down with an autoimmune disease in mid-2022 and my income took a nosedive because my health made working so difficult. I have started a new business and am looking forward to a great 2024.
  21. Back in the 90s. I started asking myself why I couldn't find a nice guy to spend my life with. I was spending a lot of time and energy in sex clubs. It occurred to me that I might be looking for love in the wroing places. I cut way back on the sex clubs and started dating. And I had a rule for myself of no sex on the first date. It was a frustrating experience - it's true, you have to kiss a lof frogs before you find your prince. And guys weren't happy with no sex on the first date. Eventually, I met the perfect guy - tall, handsome, nice, smart - everything I could ask for. I stuck with my rule of no sex on the first date - he wasn't happy about it - thought I was blowing him off, but I assured him I wasn't. I told a friend, who knew him, "I'm going to nab this guy." He said, "Don't you think you should check with him first?" I said,"No, I already know he's ripe for picking." Long story short, we've been a couple for over 30 years. I think that if I hadn't tested the hypothesis that sex clubs are a lousy place to find a husband, I might still be looking.
  22. Tylenol and NSAID together work pretty well.
  23. It doesn't matter whether it would be OK with some. It wasn't OK with you -- and you and the provider worked things out.
  24. I went to college in the 70s - when the popularity of fraternities was at a low point. They might have existed at my school, but I wasn't aware of them.
  25. That's it - you know it when you see it.
