Probably very high in protein and low in calories. Great food for building muscle. But I think I would prefer to be un-toned if that was the only way to get ripped.

They let her use a baggage scale? When I get weighed at the airport they flop me into a canvas sling and hoist me with a crane. But seriously, any time I have been on a helicopter I have been weighed discreetly - what hasn't been discreet is when they put me on the conveyer belt and squeeze me through the x-ray machine.

Anyone I meet who has an accent - regardless of appearance or ethnicity - I tend to ask where they are from originally. It's not to judge, but to learn more about the person. Rarely has it been awkward.

There are so many problems with the H&M saga. I believe they likely do wish to use their time and fame to make a positive difference for others, but they are not altruistic nor wanting to be away from the limelight. She is an actress who is used to being in the public eye. He is a member of the most well-known family in the world, and the cameras have been on him since he left the hospital as a newborn. To me the issue is one of wanting your cake and eating it too. I have never believed that M was as ignorant as she says about what royal life would require, but as an American, it was probably impossible for her to give up any measure of her personal freedom which needed to happen to serve the Crown. And H knew he was only going to be further removed from the centre of attention as his nephews and nieces got older. Yes, his mother's death was traumatizing - but she also benefitted from the paparazzi much of the time. Like her, he wants the paparazzi on his own terms - and it doesn't happen that way. If H&M really wanted to make a difference, they could have done so as members of the family - just like Princess Anne has been able to do. And Sophie as well. But I think the real reason they left is that they did not see any value or personal gain in remaining part of the Firm, and it is the self-serving aspect of their lives that probably motivated them to make that break. They may not have fully thought out what that break would cost, but rather focused on the benefits alone - freedom to speak out freely about their grievances, and seek sympathy wherever it might be found. Entitlement through and through. These are two very wealthy individuals who are so out of touch with reality that their antics are almost comical. If they really wanted to make a difference without blowing up the Firm, they could have stayed in Canada or any other Commonwealth country, enjoying physical separation from their royal woes and have the freedom to pursue their ventures. But they knew that if they stayed in Canada they would eventually become irrelevant - and that was probably scarier to them than staying part of the Firm. They needed to be in the USA, where stardom is a career in itself - where you are famous for being famous, and where you can run in circles with super-rich power magnates who are excited by the novelty of royalty. In Canada or Australia they would have been famous, but not put up on the unwarranted pedestal they enjoy in LA. Outside of the USA they would not have gained the misplaced sympathy they have been seeking all along and they could have lived relatively 'normal' lives - but that is not something that either of them ever wanted.

Yet he had the time to respond rudely to someone asking a very appropriate question in a polite manner...

YourHunk is in his 60s? That is a lot of age shaving... some of the photos are pretty grainy unfortunately.

It's always good to prepare for the worst, even if that's pickleball.

Not a Latin expert by any means, but I think what they were shouting was 'Vivat Regina Camilla', which I think means 'Long Live Queen Camilla'. Or perhaps, 'Long Live Camilla's Vagina'

19 hours crunched in Economy... I wonder how many passengers will drop dead from a DVT...

Likely one-legged thieves. Who then went for breakfast at IHOP.

I love science but i only made it through the first five paragraphs of this one.

A chunk of the uterus, anyway. Maybe an incomplete and botched hysterectomy...

Anyone else think the iceberg beside it looks like a fallopian tube with a bulging ovary at the end? Conception Bay, you know.

I've flown WestJet many times. Never had a problem but also nothing to celebrate either. I've never found any of the airlines in Canada to be that special, but I heard than one carrier called Wardair, which existed several decades ago, was pretty nice. Sorry, that last bit of info won't be helpful for your current inquiry... lol.

Well, the Minutemen were pretty small. Some might even say minute.

My limited understanding is that a Queen's husband (at least in the UK) is never crowned or referred to as King Consort because he would technically outrank the Queen. Husbands are known at most as Prince Consort and they are not crowned, but rather, need to pay homage to their wife as part of the coronation ceremony. What I find interesting is that the title 'Queen' apparently comes from the Old English word 'cwen' which translates to 'wife'. In reality 'Queen' refers to the wife of a King, though it has evolved over the centuries to mean a woman reigning in her own right. And I don't believe a Queen is able to transfer her titles to her husband, unlike what a King is able to do by having his wife crowned Queen Consort. I'm not sure who has the final say, but I think the public may not have been happy to see Camilla crowned as Queen Consort had the late Queen not expressed her desire to see that happen. In the case of Phillip, I believe that Parliament stepped in and required that he renounce his Danish-Greek royal titles before he married Elizabeth. It was only later that she made him a Prince of the UK through letters patent.

I don't trust the reporter on this one about the shark being a hammerhead. If she was indeed pregnant with pups, then clearly she was a dogfish.

He wants to take it off but it never seems to be the right time. So if you are a client that values discretion, you might want to meet with someone else. Time will tell.

Alberta has lots of oil so it's surprising the US hasn't invaded yet

But when you're driving and the sun hits the clouds in a certain way , sometimes a rainbow appears. Doesn't that count?

I can's speak to the 'sexcation' aspect of it, but Amsterdam is a great place to visit if you have a few days. Lots of museums, 17th century architecture, good restaurants and I found the people friendly and helpful. There is a red-light district but I must be clueless because I had walked halfway through it before I realized where I was.

One of the great drives in Canada is the Icefield Parkway through the Rocky Mountains. You can start in Banff, Alberta, which is a picturesque but touristy town, and drive north to Jasper, Alberta. The scenery along the way is incredible, with additional places to stop like Lake Louise. Probably easiest to fly into Calgary and either spend a couple of days there or drive to either Canmore or Banff and stay overnight. Then the next morning start driving up the Icefield Parkway - it can be done in a few hours but you may wish to make many stops along the way for photos, hikes, etc. Then spend the evening in Jasper, and either explore the town the next day or drive back down to Banff the way you came. If you do go through Calgary, and if there is time, you can drive a couple of hours east to Drumheller, Alberta. There is an excellent museum showcasing dinosaur fossils, as this is the heart of the Alberta 'badlands' where many fossils have been unearthed over the decades. I think it is called the Royal Tyrell Museum.

I think some of us were just concerned that you are doing alright . It's nice to see you join the discussion as yourself - some people have joined pretending to be someone else. It's great to see someone be straightforward and upfront.
