Your comment about an old HS bad apple -
made me laugh, reminds me of a guy I went to school. He used to sell T-shirts at concerts (the fake one's, not put out by the performer/band); was high most of the time; now he is a copyright attorney - talk about ironic.
APPLE CHIPS NM

Pumpkin and apple pie
And my mother-in-law makes a cherry cream and chocolate cream pie to die for. We go to my parents every year and my mother does all of the baking.
I have an Apple iPod 30 GB.....
and I friggin LOVE it! I've had it for about a year or so now. My stepson has one as well. I use mine everyday while I type for work. I bought a Bose speaker dock. I've got like 1,800+ songs on this thing and I haven't even used up 1/4 of the memory on it. I bought a cable that plugs into most new vehicles so I can listen to my iPod in my vehicle.
My brother has a Zune MP3 player. He seems to like his as well but I don't know much about that brand. I just know I love my Apple iPod and my Bose speaker. The Bose speaker sounds awesome and you can take it outside for parties, etc. I is small enough to put on my desk for work without cluttering it up. Also, when I have my iPod on the Bose speaker....it charges the battery on my iPod.
You can buy cheaper iPod docks than a Bose one, but I really like my Bose!
The Apple Does Not Fall Far From the Tree
I agree with you, Unhappy Camper -
There is little accountability in today's youth as a whole. The kids that are responsible, that know the consequences and live accordingly are the minority. Teens in the military are taught accountability and responsibility if they don't already have those attributes courtesy of their parents.
Interesting article I read in my hometown paper about an underage drinking party where over 25 kids were arrested for illegal possession of alcohol. One of the cops interviewed said out of the 25 parents that had to come and pick up their children, only one, ONE, told their child they got exactly what they deserved and that consequences would result. The others were mortified that their kids were being held, humiliated, and treated like criminals, then berated the cops for having nothing better to do, etc. We wonder why there are problems? The kids want the privileges of being an adult, but not the responsibility, thanks to mom and dad. One cop summed it up precisely. He said when he was a teen, he and his friends did not fear getting caught by the police, they were more afraid of getting caught by their parents.
As a result of such parenting, or lack thereof, it would bother me to see the drinking age lowered. If they don't hold their kids accountable, how can we by allowing the age to be lowered?
What a sour apple you are! It was new to me and probably new news to sm
others....Don't spoil it for others!
I also forgot to add that I got the Mcintosh Apple one!
I even got that one in a car jar because it smells so good!
Apple, the whole board knows you are not a fan of "religion." I have sm
read many of your posts against such. That is fine. Your life. But, the person running for this great country must stand on moral principal and the greatest form of morality and ethical value and behavior is completely written in that wonderful book I follow called the Bible.

that sounds great, with apple juice,
but would you give me some idea of temp to cook at, and how long it might take to get soft? Do you wait til its done to add cinnamon and brown sugar? God bless, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
The stuff is costly by SoFla standards too, Apple.

Just had to tell you that yesterday I bought the apple cider vinegar s/m
tablets for severe unrelenting hot flashes. I felt bad all day yesterday and was hoping it was not due to the pills. I only took two because of that. Went to bed early and today I have had a total of 2 hot flashes so far and it is 12 noon. I would have literally had dozens of terrible hot flashes by now. Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts about ACV and for the dear poster who told me it was available in pill form. I honestly think this may be my answer. I feel like a new person and pray this continues. I can't believe the improvement after taking 2 tablets yesterday!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Ick, DD got a candy apple at Rocky Mtn Choc. Factory & it had a worm in it.

diet
 You go, girl! Just don't get discouraged. I started LAST June to lose 30 pounds and have finally succeeded, keeping it off even throughout the holidays. I walk 3 miles a night and really enjoy the quiet time.
HMR diet?
Has anyone ever went to a medically supervised HMR diet? If so, did it work for you. Thanks.
Sorry to tell you this, but I had my diet dr.
But I don't think the "diet" is good for me. BUT I'm ADDICTED!! Oh well...
RE sugar in diet
When my mother was dx as being diabetic, I started using sweetener substitutes, thinking that would be better than real sugar. Dr. Gott, a physician who responds to letters much like Dear Abby in our local newspaper, had a patient write in that when she went on vacation and no longer used the sweeteners during that time, her leg pain went away. When she got back from vacation and started drinking her diet sodas and artificial sweeteners, her pain came back. She was able to determine that she has an "allergy" to the stuff. I only drank one diet soda a day and one cup of tea with artificial sweetener a day, but I thought I'd try this with my leg pain/issues. Hard to believe, but it's made a world of difference. I've been 3 weeks without the stuff and can't believe the difference.
Dr. Gott is a supporter of the no flour, no sugar diet. If it contains flour or sugar, to not eat it. A lot of people have wrote to him with success with being on the diet. I did it for a while, did great, but like all diets I didn't make it a lifelong commitment.

What does your diet consist of?...sm
You really shouldn't need supplements if you are eating a well-balanced diet. Personally, I only take Viactiv Chews because I can't stand milk, but I can eat yogurt and cheese okay.
If not managed by diet alone, you really need
to be on some kind of medication because my former husband died from kidney failure and this is 1 of the big causes for the kidneys failing but I am sure you knew that already. My present husband has been the same weight for years and years and it is not a weight thing for him and his very well controlled but again just this numbness now that he says in 1 leg. No other complications at all with his. Best to get that diabetes under good control. He does not indulge in sweets (which he loves) or other food items which he considers bad for diabetes and I have seen his blood sugars running in the low 70s or so and they are usually pretty normal.
I don't like Science Diet
either. I try to read the ingredients on pet foods when deciding which ones to buy, and it seems like Science Diet is full of by-products and useless stuff. So why when I go to the vets does he prescribe my cat Science Diet for UTI?? Do they not know what foods are good and which ones aren't. And I'm sure if I asked the vet which food to put my new puppy on, he would probably say Science Diet. I've been buying Royal Canin for my dogs, but now with the recall, don't know if I trust them either.
Anyone doing the new Alli diet?
I tried this several years ago when it had another name. This is not a good deal. You are only able to eat a small amount of fat content before the diarrhea explodes and it does, really orange runny and you cannot make to the bathroom before you are really in a mess. I was watching a program just now where they were showing the amount of fat allowed with this drug and they showed even green beans had fat contents - this is not a drug that most would like.
Alli diet
I lost 75 lbs using the Brand name equivalent of Alli. Alli is only 60 mg, whereas Xenical was 120 mg each capsule. So I don't think a person would get in trouble with that dose of Alli. Anyway, if you try to not overdo on the fat intake, you should be fine. I couldn't have done it without Xenical (Alli).
Especially since with all these diet pills
they say that it works in conjunction with diet and exercise. Duh, that is what ends up causing the weight loss! The pill has nothing to do with it.
scient diet
That is great how you do the chicken, I do that too for my dog and cats. Varied diet is the best. Word of caution on Science diet, vets do not know nutrition and Science diet sponsors a lot of the vet schools. I would not recommend science diet to anyone, Google it and find out about it, I hope this helps. On my dog boards we call it Science Death, horrible ingredients. Just a fancy name to jack up the price. All for the animals.
Why can't you have a Diet Dr. Pepper? nm

Get the YOU On A Diet book - sm
Follow their advice to the letter and you will see results!!!!
Diet Pill
I was also taking this med for weight loss. At one time it was a combo of two drugs, they called them ... “Fen-phen” diet pills. Although I did not take the combo I took the one you were inquiring about. It made me very jumpy, but also brought out an underlying condition (diagnosed by the same doc I got the pills from), and messed up my metabolism, as well as give me High blood pressure, due to the damage the pill had caused, the two issues I have cannot be reversed and I have been living with them since that time. Mind you, this was about 12 to 15 years ago when the combo came out. My advice is this, do your research, talk to the docs, read, read, read, and then if you think that you will be able to work with the side effects, and the benfits outweigh the risk, you should do what you feel is right for you.
Yes I did lose the weight, about 60 pounds at that time but like one other person stated I gained back plus 80. It is like a HYPER drug for your metabolism. Please be careful and good luck.
Thanks, diet alone never worked, have sm
self-image and fulfillment issues,so doing the whole program works for me, I hope I don't fall off the wagon as well, but I used to just do the diet thing, never changed my stinking thinking about the rest of my life. Hope you find your way too, perimenopause is very confusing, lots of issues come up; not only weight but you realize life as you knew it is changing and you're getting older, etc., hope you feel better. Reward yourself for small baby steps. I found a hot bath and nice lotion helps, perhaps as more of a reward than a necessity. All my best!
worse than a diet
I had a very loved border collie for years that was not hugely obese, but overweight. I liked to keep dry food in his bowl, if it was empty i put some in it. Well "Thomas" developed diabetes. I noticed his excessive thirst and then before I took him to the vet, he suddenly went blind. The vet said his blood was thick like syrup. Sadly, Thomas is no longer with us. Now I measure my dogs food and don't project my own love of food onto my pets, vowing I'd never be guilty of overfeeding again. I hope my sad case will help another realize the importance of feeding responsibly.
Have you changed anything in your diet?
My sister had horrible migraines about 20 years ago to the point where she thought she had a brain tumor. She found out that she has a lot of allergies to food, MSG being the worst one. She has to read labels very carefully and the big thing to stay away from is turkey. Turkey has it's own natural MSG that would put her in bed for a day with a headache if she ate it.
I hope you find a remedy that works.
I'd like to add it to part of my diet
I have one of those nasty yeast infections. I was reading that adding coconut oil to your diet will help clear it up and also will help hair, nails and other things (still reading more about it and learning more from all the websites). So basically I wanted to add 3 tablespoons to my diet each day and also use it to help my skin and hair. I don't want to cook with it though.
fat free diet
I would give them some skin and some fat or their coats will dry out. I trim the meat and give my dog what I will not eat. That is still better than dog food!
I know diet and exercise are important as
well as cutting out sugars, bread, etc. I'm doing that and have been for a while. Please keep your comments to yourself. I'm asking a simple question about a "certain named product"- is it that difficult to answer without stating your "opinions" or telling me what supplement you use? I don't remember asking for your recommendations?
Kids and diet drinks...
My son is having some dental issues and I would like to switch him over to sugar-free drinks...anyone know of any contraindications to an 8 YO consuming artifical sweetners? He doesn't drink many soft drinks, mostly Gatorade and sweet tea, milk and water, but I'd like to put Splenda in his tea instead of sugar. Thanks, y'all! 
Diet soda isn't the problem
I saw a report on that on TV several weeks ago. Evidently, the thinking is that if you're drinking diet soda you'll feel free to eat more high-caloric foods ?!?! The only thing I've heard that's concrete about diet soda is that it can cause loose bowel movements and the carbonation saps phosphorus, which could be detrimental to bones.
This is probably the lamest of all the scare tactics that the Food Police have come out with yet! I believe there are factions out there who won't be satisfied until everybody is eating nothing but veggies and drinking nothing but water.
The next lamest one I've heard is that air conditioning causes people to be overweight. Why? Because when you're hot you burn more calories!
I stopped listening to "experts" a long time ago!
Has anyone ever tried the cabbage soup diet and if so
did you stay on it longer than a week, what sort of weight did you lose, tell me how you varied the soup, did you use herbs, etc. to change the taste, etc. Oh before being flamed for the staying on more than a week, know it says to stay on only a week but others probably did not go along with this. Thanks everyone!
Cabbage soup diet
I first read about this diet about 35 years ago, as it was published in a popular womans' magazine. So, it has been around a long time. I tried it for a week, lost 5 pounds, gained back the weight as soon as I started eating regular food again. I decided that it is a good side dish as part of a well-balanced reducing diet. But, it can never work as the only food that I eat on a daily basis. For one thing, I have to have sufficient protein or my diet doesn't last long. And what I really want is a plan for life that will help me maintain a good weight once I reach it, without feeling deprived. I find that canned tuna fish is a good "diet" food because of being low in fat and pretty high in protein and convenient. Any fish is good as far as that goes.
favorite diet tips?
Mine is putting sauces on vegetables according to cravings. My son mentioned he had ribs for lunch today and that made me want some so badly I went and put BBQ sauce on my veggies w/ rice!!!

Low-carb diet problems - sm
Have been on a very low-carb but high protein diet for 3 months now. Have been experiencing a bit of shortness of breath and a "catch" in my throat as well as being more thirsty than usual. I have checked out "ketosis" and wonder if that is where I am. Has anyone been on a low-carb diet with similar symptoms?
p.s. Have lost aproximately 25 pounds
Thank you.
Low carb is not a "fad diet," but sm
rather a way of life. Once you try it, you're hooked. The energy that comes from eliminating the processed carbs is amazing. You sleep better, feel better, look better. It's not a fad diet and is not unhealthy. The weight gain comes if you start adding in all the processed carbs again, which shows you exactly how bad they really are for you. One can say the same thing about your "diet" suggestion. If one stops counting the calories and goes back to eating as they did prior, the weight will come back. Low carb teaches you to eat to fuel your body. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
Re your reply to "fad diet" - sm
I did want to say something like this, but did not get around to doing so. So glad you did. It was the only negative reply to my inquiry. All other replies were positive, supportive, and helpful and I do indeed appreciate those messages.
Diet pop is empty calories and crackers and some
...wheat breads will make you hungry faster. I'm strugglin' too and haven't made up my mind to start. All I'm comfy in are sweats.
Looking for ideas on a diet for high cholesterol
I am doing the salad, chicken, turkey thing, but I will be getting sick of salad soon. I do not like fish, so what other options do I have? Any ideas/recipes would be appreciated. I can have red meat once a week.
Thanks! 
Have you ever heard of the Weigh Down Diet program? sm
It's not really a diet. It is a matter of changing the way you eat, not what you eat. Feel free to e-mail me and I'll give you some specifics.
