I think it's the "eat six times a day" people, who are also responsible for the 300 calorie Lean Cuisine "meals." If I'm eating three meals of 300 cal each, that would be a really extreme diet! I'm not a snacker, I have like 150 cal. for breakfast, and I'm not even trying to lose weight.
That's me you're talking about. But not the Lean Cuisine psuedomeals (from now on they should be called shmeals). My snack tend to be a a hard boiled egg with mustard and bacon salt. Or a packet of string cheese.
And, I've lost 5 lbs this week. With another 15 to go. though I would settle for 10.
I have a scam question. Has anyone seen this one before? How does it work?

My sister is curious.
But I have West Wing day dreams.
me three. I may yet fill out the form.
Kansas City and public transportation just don't mix.
Not widely and certainly not where you live. There are some areas of the city where people do rely heavily on the bus system. If you worked downtown I'll bet you could find a park & ride bus. My mom did that (from Lee's Summit) when she still worked downtown.
Listen up, people: walking to the middle of the road to huff and stomp your feet does not make the bus arrive more quickly
I've never understood those people. Dude you are in the turn lane. Cars will run you over.
Listen up, people: walking to the middle of the road to huff and stomp your feet does not make the bus arrive more quickly
My knees complain more standing still than walking, and if I look for the bus from the middle of the road, I can see further and can make a more informed decision about whether or not it's worth waiting for.
I'll take a guess, ita. Sister provides the information. Mr. Scheutz or somebody connected with him contacts sister about her winnings. There's a catch -- she has to pay taxes on the winnings, or something like that.
But Mr. Scheutz doesn't want Sister to be unable to claim her winnings. So he'll send her a cashier's check. She is to cash the check (receiving cash, that is) at her bank and wire the funds to somewhere, Hong Kong at a guess from the e-mail address.
Unfortunately, the cashier's check is no good, the bank takes the money back from Sister's account, and Mr. Scheutz is long gone.
A little more detail on that kind of scam.
Come in and Worship "God"
You can tell this isn't for a Unitarian Universalist congregation. We replace the quote marks with an asterisk. (*Or such deity or lack thereof to which you may feel moved to offer worship, appreciation, or supplication. Or you could just come by for the music and coffee. We're easy.)
I've never understood those people.
I also get a little irritated by all the people who rubberneck on the El platform. Dude, the El is loud. You will not miss it pulling into the station.
Kansas City and public transportation just don't mix.
They had a great streetcar system when my dad was growing up there in the '30s.
