What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Fragems]

: Was unable to figure out what was up with my Jeep so I've scheduled an appointment at a local service center Monday. Hopefully I won't have to sell any organs to pay off the bill . Looks like there was a recall for the ignition and a few other things so at least I can get those things corrected while I'm there as well.

: Called in to work and my Post Master didn't sound to happy, but hell I'm not going to risk getting stranded out in the middle of no where or screwing up my engine for one day of work. Plus if I did breakdown it would only cost them more money since they would have to send someone out to finish up for me.

Yes let us know what they say was the actual culprit.

Spinach would be a great start. From that website sautèd spinach in coconut oil with nutritional yeast would cover a lot of what sardines have plus much more.

Hey now...You're combining foods! That's cheating!

I always got the impression from my church that they thought sex was just some gross, terrible thing that we have to endure so we can have kids. Sort of like the pain of getting a shot to avoid measles.

My Bible study group is diverse in race, but not so much in age and they sometimes try to "cure" me with scripture.

The reason I'm in this group is to help make people happier. I don't force my beliefs on people, I rarely even discuss my beliefs... but I want people to be happy, so if people want to believe in unicorns or that a guy multiplied one fish to feed a crowd I'm for it. Life is short, so no reason to live it judging others or being an asshole.

I don't go to Bible study and preach "I love pussy" (although I totally love pussy) but this whole thing started when one member said "Satan tempted me two times at once. There was a pretty bartender who was young and flirtatious and said I should order a drink".

For one, she was only doing her job. Two, unless this guy had five hundred dollar bills hanging out of his fly no way was the waitress trying to get in his pants. She only wanted a tip, and not "that" tip.

There's a huge difference between telling a woman she looks beautiful and smacking her ass and saying "looking good sexy". I don't see the harm of telling people that they look good. Fudge, I have dude friends that have lost weight and gained muscle and have no issues with saying "Dude! Looking good man. Hitting up the gym much?". I see no reason to not tell a woman that she has a "beautiful smile". In fact I encourage it. As long as you don't come off as a perv, all you are doing is giving a compliment, which makes people very happy.

...Nutritional yeast? The fuck is that?

Pery:

Almost every fish has mercury in it, and I find mercury poisoning to be...rather fishy. I say this because my lunch for the past few years has been a can of tuna. That's it. Just a can of tuna. Joe Weider swore by it, as do many people in peak physical condition.

And you know who eats a lot of mercury? Bears.

I'm not dismissing that tuna can have some mercury, but who knows anyone who has had mercury poisoning from eating tuna? It's just silly to worry about eating tuna. I would also suggest that more people die from jumping off a building with an umbrella believing they could fly than from eating tuna.

Brought to you by Scooner Tuna, the tuna that cares.


But seriously, a can of tuna a day is not going to kill you. That's incredibly silly.

Death is not the worry, mental and health problems are. Mercury levels in fish are monitored constantly and most would agree that tuna is one of the most consumed with the highest amount. Behavioral changes, memory loss, headaches, tremors, loss of fine motor control, hair loss, vision problems. Many people have simple health problems and have no clue what in their diet could be the cause. If quick death was the worry people would stop eating or selling fish. Like most things moderation is key. Just out of curiosity what brand and type do you usually buy?

Also bears aren't humans and their weight is way higher even if their bodies were affected like us. I mean can you eat grass, acorns, wood pulp because other animals can? Would you feed a dog chocolate because you can? Cats shouldn't eat garlic or onions, but we can.

Maybe, but you weren't talking about eating raw sardines or just putting a sardine on a frying pan and that's it were you? If you buy a can it never says: Ingredients - sardines. I feel spinach cooked in coconut oil is fair if you are only using oil to cook your fish or are eating it from a can.

I am SOOOO tempted to make this my new sig quote.

I would go into discussing lust versus admiration in the context of Biblical relation, but certain individuals around here get very upset when Christianity is debated in any fashion. I'd rather not raise anyone's blood pressure inadvertently.

I say if you Luke feel in your heart that admiring the beauty of a woman and telling her she's beautiful is not a sin, then it isn't. Now going home and masturbating to her behind your wife's back would be a different story of course. But I'm betting that's not something you do, even with all that mercury making your neurons nutty. ;p

It is actually quite good if you get sardines in water and cook them in a pan. I serve it on rice with some spinach or capers on the side. Though in oil is better, specifically Riga's Smoked Sprats in glass. Beats anything by Beech Cliff or Bumblebee (even Beech Cliff in Louisiana Hotsauce). Sadly, my wife hates sardines so I do not get to eat them often. She also hates anchovy for some reason...

Pephary's comparison to spinach in oil is fair, since the majority of sardines are sold in oil, specifically soybean. Though I would move away from coconut oil if possible. I know it is the trendy thing to use right now, but it is one of the worst for you cooking oils.

Planters should make Cheese Balls again.

Planters Cheese Balls were amazing.

At least I live in the Northeast so Utz is a close second.

The research would beg to differ on refined coconut oil. Hydrogenated oil this is not. The smoke point is high. The extra virgin olive oil craze is the more dangerous as the smoke point is very low. That is best uncooked or on very low heat. The process for making seed or rapeseed oil makes those oils a bad choice and the levels of omega 6.
