Elsie just died. I'm not quite sure how we get from here to the next 20 books, but she was so upset about being sent to the convent school that she feel into a fever, and has been hallucinating for the past 20 pages or so, while her father prays that Jesus might take mercy on a sinner like him and bring his daughter back, but the doctor just declared her dead.
She was killed by the mere
threat
of Catholicism? That is quite simply awesome. Is the Pope also able to make people's brains explode just by looking at them? I mean, obviously the current Pope can, if the Star Wars movies are anything to go by, but I didn't realise they'd got the death ray already working by the 19th century.
Don't play fight games with your hands, even though it's fun.
Yeah, tell that to Hubby. He tends to laugh and say Ow at the time, so that ruins everything.
After the conversation in here today, I should probably feel guilty about eating girl scout cookies, but I don't.
The HFCS in Yoplait makes me sad as it is my favorite yogurt. I think there is a type of Yoplait without it but it doesn't taste as good.

I simply don't believe anyone should feel guilty about eating anything. Life is too short. If you want to eat organic, free-range, locally grown everything and eschew processed foods, HFCS, and hydrogenated oils, then rock on. But if, in the middle of that eating plan, you get mugged by a box of Thin Mints, there's no useful good in feeling guilty about it.
I have pictures!

I'm thinking of changing Nalu's name to Dean. He kinda has a Dean Winchester vibe to him.
I'm not sure of Maddie, I kinda like the name and couldn't think of anything fannish to change it to.
I agree with Steph...NO GUILT! Seriously, that is part of the problem with food -- guilt makes people eat really weird.
I don't want choice taken away -- I just want it easier to make choices
And I love to eat. So I want to sit and enjoy my food. I will never buy that food is just fuel.
I thought of this conversation when I saw a piece on one woman's experiment in living on a dollar a day. Here's what she ate: [link] She mostly ate pasta and rice. Her vegetables were frozen chopped spinach, cabbage and the tomatoes in marinara sauce and her fruit a couple of bananas and a couple of tangerines. She demonstrated buying food for seven days for $7: iirc, pasta, rice, tomato soup, chopped frozen spinach and a couple of bananas. She went on about how much healthier it was.
