Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Maybe if I just start biting people...
What if they get an excited smile on their face?
In seven minutes my supervisor will go into a meeting for three hours.
She promised to bring me something before her meeting.
If she doesn't bring me something to do I'll have no work between now and lunchtime.
Yet I would still have internet access.
That's kind of awesome.
It's like a little office supply cabana.
America's Unhealthiest Drinks Exposed
Worst Juice Imposter
Arizona Kiwi Strawberry (23.5 oz can)
360 calories
84 g of sugar
These hulking calorie cannons (5 percent juice, 95 percent sugar water) are sold at gas stations and convenience stores across America for the low, low price of 99 cents, making this quite possibly the cheapest source of empty calories in the country.
Huh. I used to drink those all the time....
Eddie the Gangsta Barrista who never says anything to me spun my coffee down the counter, whispered "extra shot for you today" pounded his chest twice and flashed me a peace sign.
Oh, my. I love Eddie the Gangsta Barista.
Sparky, I despise regular Gatorade, but I can choke down the Gatorade water-type stuff (aka Propel). In the midst of marathon training, I could force myself to drink the Gatorade Endurance - less sweet, more salty.
Oh, and Hil, if you really think you scratched your cornea, don't wear your contacts! Which I'm sure you aren't. But. Unless it's really bad, they'll just tell you to wear your glasses for a few days--it'll heal in a couple three days. If it's a bad scratch, there's drops or ointment, and they might have you tape your eye closed for a couple days.
Huh.
The Unhealthiest Drink in America
Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake (32 oz)
2,310 calories
266 g sugar
108 g fat (64 g saturated)
Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:
73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
8-12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill burning it off, running at a moderate pace.
Yeah, I'm wearing glasses for now. It's not hurting so bad today. I wish I had prescription sunglasses, though -- I don't feel like going out in this sun without sunglasses.
ION, I suppose asking my boss if she is really that lacking in reading comprehension skills would be a bad career move, huh? Sheesh.
Worst Summer Cocktail - Pina Colada
I cry foul as I was just reading that a real Pina Colada isn't a creamy frozen drink, but much closer to a margarita, except with rum in the place of tequila.
Admittedly I prefer to cut my VitaminWater with more water by a half, but when their serving size is 12oz and sugar is 19g, how is that comparable to a 8oz of coke with 27g of total carbs?
a bottle of this stuff carries nearly as much sugar and calories as a can of Coke
Puh-lease. Different size bottles, all bigger than the average can of Coke.
