Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I definitely get that -- even though it's full of fiber and nutrients and general yumminess, a large apple is still more calories (and, in fact, more sugar) than a medium or small apple. I can see where the lack of precision would make planning/sticking to a meal plan difficult.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Among the many words and phrases that give me mental hyperventilation, "meal plan" is near the top. I have strange food issues.

I went crazycakes paleo a decade or so ago. It worked amazing, I lost weight fast. But I don't think I can do it again. I was too strict.

The only thing I want to say to "strict paleo" people now is, your paleolithic ancestors didn't rice cauliflower, and if you ain't eating bugs, it ain't paleo.

Mmm, crickets.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Paleo: If it's slow enough to catch, it's on the menu.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

You cannot tell me our paleo ancestors weren't eating honey (banned under paleo) or any kind of high-calorie food they could get their hands on.

And any berries and fruit they could get their hands on.

Friend on FB is posting about how bananas have "tons" more sugar now than they did back in the day, so we're "risking diabetes" if we eat them, and by the way, isn't it worrisome that apples are so much bigger than they used to be in the Good Olde Days?

Very worrisome. This is why I avoid apples and bananas and eat only grilled cheese sandwiches.

A most excellent plan! I recommend washing it down with red wine to get your fruit quota.

I'm part of a group text with 6 other women (it's very nice they're including me as a friend; don't get me wrong), and they all have a text habit that seems SUPER weird to me: whenever one of them texts something that another one likes (say, "Great news about your promotion!"), Person 2 (and sometimes 3-5) will reply with a text that reads "Loved 'Great news about your promotion!' "

Is that weird? Or do I just not understand how people do this text thing? (I get that the "loved..." thing is a carryover from being able to love posts/comments on FB, but still. It seems weird as shit to literally spell out that you loved someone's text.)
