Title: I don't understand
Post by: Annie on January 13, 2015, 10:14:08 PM
I don't get how I gained 10 pounds in the last 2 months  ac_unsure. I mean during the Christmas season all I had were 2 boxes of chocolates, a couple dozen or so each of chocolate chip cookies,  shortbread cookies, cheese, meat and crackers, and a couple big dinners. I just don't understand it..... ac_dunno   ac_umm

And Ferrero Roche too, those buggers make some delicious hazelnut chocolates....but I figured since they had hazel nuts they weren't that fattening, I mean nuts are good for us right?

I have a lot of people to buy for, 24 sometimes with family, and friends.

I usually buy a gift like something they can use, but this year it was chocolates.

Next one will be less, it's just a bit much anymore, I have kids, and dogs that need goodies. :)

I usually buy angels from the angel trees, they are a bit expensive anymore though, but feed two families for Christmas.

I think it's the least I could do to help. I know the animals appreciate some help also, they are voiceless in our world.

It's a charity thing, you can buy a cutout of an angel with a child's name on it from several places here like Krogers, Lowe's, some banks.

They then give a family a Christmas meal, turkey, and all the trimmings. I usually give a kids gift also at a few of the stores when out.

Same here, i see people going into our local one with better stuff than I have.

It's like that with many things, kids charities are abused also as well as Goodwill type charities.

Keep looking though, people are in need.

I did okay this year, only 3 pounds extra on the scale and it went back down in the week after New Years. For once in a long time I didn't gain an ass-load worth of holiday weight. It sure helped that I had a food poisoning attack 3 days before Christmas. It kept me from making a pig out of myself on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  ac_biggrin



Maybe I should write a thank you letter to KFC. Maybe they will give me some free coupons for some nasty poisonous chicken and I can give them away to the "Iron gut Chink".  ac_dance ac_toofunny

American shale oil along with Canadian heavy scare the daylights out of those corrupt, worldwide terror-financing scumbags. If we built the infrastructure on this continent to supplant their blood oil and then placed sanctions on the head-chopping Islamofascists, they would be "sheikhing" in their camel boots.

The writing is already on the wall. Saudi oil production has peaked. In the coming decades the western world is going to be moving away from their product and they know it. It's going to get interesting to say the least.

I am petroleum engineer and this is widely assumed in our industry. However, there is really now way to either confirm or debunk this theory. They have withheld critical well data as well as detailed reserve data. A mentor of mine is a firm believer that the Sauds are fudging about their actual reserves. The Society of Petroleum Engineers arrived at that conclusion too. I sure as fuck hope it's true.
