Oh okay. Kettle chips are quite addicting.

It sounds like you went when there was no snow. (?) I was looking at pictures of the winter route this afternoon. I'm okay with the distance. It looks really steep though, and hiking thru snow is harder.

Yeah, it was actually dusty/ashy.

What do you need to do?

Besides not run away crying or gouging out my own eyeballs, not a hell of a lot really. But that doesn't mean it's easy.

I went to game stop and found out that the ps3 ultimate edition of diablo 3 has a special add on only that version game system has and they wanted like 30 bucks used so i looked online and found the same one this morning for 23 and change brand new shipped. Ill be a happy gamer very soon.

[Galindo62]

Idk what's wrong with me anybody have any suggestion? The past 3 days my body has been aching and my head feels heavy. Specifically any body part I worked out 3 days ago is very uncomfortable. Like I feel my traps are being constantly pinched I had to wake up at the night to stretch my nech.

I never take drugs but I'm sure there is something that helps with body aches??

It's a couple different things. You have a nice weekend too.

Diablo is just the most carefully-engineered time waster ever. Never again. Not if someone gave it to me.

Basically it's:

1. Oh, just one more trip back out. Maybe I'll find a Bone Staff of Necrophilia and it will change my life, or I will level up and earn that Summon Demonic Bastard spell and him and I will kick serious ass.
2. Buy a ****-ton of mana potions, health potions, and Town Portals. Cause if you accidentally run out of Town Portals you'll get seriously pissed-off.
3. Either:
3. a) Go out, do pretty much the same thing you've been doing the last six hours (right-clicking, left-clicking, occasionally hitting some function keys) until you run out of potions and head back to town and return to step 1.
3. b) Get killed and you sure as hell aren't going to leave your precious +7 Great Axe of Mass Murder and a giant mound of gold by your corpse 19 levels underground so you take you take your resurrected body, buy a bunch of second-tier ****, hope to hell you don't get killed while running like a little ***** trying to get to your corpse and stuff, and return to step 1.
4. Keep doing this until you see it's three in the morning and you have to be at work in four hours. At this point your mind is so numb that you probably can't even fall asleep.

Forgot to reply muzziw, but yeah Snatch's are way worse than power cleans lol. But luckily we never had to do them in football. Eff that noise.

Yeah, Diablo 2. I was thinking about Diablo 3 but that would have probably required me to get a new graphics card, which would require a new power supply, and then I remembered what a time-waster 2 was and came to my senses.

I think I dieded no less than a hundred times trying to play the mage-broad and had to fight Biznorg the Defiler with his god damn freeze spell in that tiny chamber below the Temple of the Syrinx. I had no problem using the Necromancer to beat that guy, but I don't think I even got close with her and gave up.

[Galindo62]

Yeah I hear you man, I got a new gaming PC just for diablo 3.

And it was such a huge disappointment but I was happy I wasn't gonna be wasint that much time on it.
The game has improved a lot now though.

My mom has been saying for several years that she is trying to lose weight and is on a diet. I have told her many different ways over the past year. Even told her about paleo / atkins if she didn't want to be bothered by weighing and counting. She says, "yea, uh huh," to the things I tell her, but I can tell she's being polite while actively dismissing me and investing in some advice that is usually a tid bit from Dr. Oz or some completely random and vague article. Today, she tells me that she is going on a fruit and veggie cleanse (again). I tell her it isn't necessary (again). She nods her head and says that is fine, and makes a face like I'm starting to irritate her with my rebuttals.

Upon conversing later on, she discovers that I am spending time writing something up for a woman who asked me for advice on dieting. She makes a face, storms off, presumably jealous. Da fuk? It trips me out how people act like they want your help and guidance, but if you don't say what they want to hear, they dismiss you...and when they fail, they come back again. And repeat. She wants me to train her but I haven't...because how can you train someone who doesn't want to listen to anything you say? Whenever I tell her about lifting weights, she says she just wants to be toned like me. When I tell her that I had to lift heavy weights to look like this, she says, "yea, but I don't think we have the same goals and you're going for a look that I do not want for myself." /facepalm

So basically, she wants me to train her in a way that requires minimal effort and lets her be in control but still gets her the same results as if she worked hard and did something completely different than she has been. I told her when she gets tired of things not working out with her way, come holla at me.

If she wasn't my mom....

I can really identify with your example. I think what people are thinking is the method is too hard and your giving something up you shouldnt be but in reality there is more to the whole picture and part of that is understanding nutrition, exercise, and food choices.

See what I realized about food choices is that what we learned to eat was based on our parents up bringing as a child and that as an adult we can re-learn and make the foods we dont like the traditional way nontraditional by finding new ways to prepare our meals and make them balanced and appealing.

The other thing is in todays society most things are prepackage and we start thinking that way as a result when we dont have to. The other part that im in the process of learning is what affect all that prepackaging has on our health. One way is very clear by the lack of nutrients in the food. (if you havent looked please do and youll quickly see what im saying is true).

Vitamins that are man made are fine but scientific research will tell you only 10-20 percent of that is absorbed. Im not anti vitamin because ive used them and not used them to see the result but man made vitamins are clearly inferior to whole foods especially if they are grown properly.

I thought about table salt for example recently and asked myself why is it iodize? Do they have research showing that it is missing something or that it robs the body of iodine?

I dont know the answer to that but I would suspect that sea salt wouldnt rob the body if table salt does. How many other items do we use that are harmless in small doeses over short term but long term manifest to bigger things?

I know those feels.

Salt (even sea salt sometimes because it contains very little iodine) is iodized simply because most western countries (apart from coastal ones, or countries with high sea food intake) has low levels of it, especially in the soil so our veggies doesn't get to absorb much. So it's not added because it robs of us anything, it's added because we don't get enough iodine from other sources.

Iodised salt (also spelled iodized salt) is table salt mixed with a minute amount of various salts of the element iodine. The ingestion of iodine prevents iodine deficiency. Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities.[1][2] Deficiency also causes thyroid gland problems, including "endemic goitre". In many countries, iodine deficiency is a major public health problem that can be cheaply addressed by purposely adding small amounts of iodine to the sodium chloride salt.

Iodine is a micronutrient and dietary mineral that is naturally present in the food supply in some regions, especially near sea coasts, but is generally quite rare in the Earth's crust, since iodine is a so-called "heavy" element and abundance of chemical elements generally declines with greater atomic mass. Where natural levels of iodine in the soil are low and the iodine is not taken up by vegetables, iodine added to salt provides the small but essential amount of iodide needed by humans.

Iodine is an essential trace element that has origins in primitive life on earth as a rudimentary antioxidant, anti-infective, and metabolic control factor.
Iodized table salt was the solution offered in the early 20th century for epidemic iodine deficiency resulting in disfiguring goiters, or thyroid gland enlargement. Now that excessive salt use is discouraged by the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, and other agencies, iodine deficiency is staging a comeback.
Iodine deficiency is proving to be a risk not only for goiter and low thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism), but also for fibrocystic breast disease and breast cancer. Iodine deficiency is suggested by blood tests that also suggest hypothyroidism (such as higher thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH).
The ideal dose for iodine is a topic of controversy. The Japanese obtain much greater quantities of iodine from habitual consumption of seaweed. Whether this provides lessons for non-Japanese populations is a fascinating question, though not fully settled.

And it's even more important for athletes,vegetarians and vegans.

Ironically, health-conscious people are often most likely to develop iodine deficiency. One reason is that athletes and people engaged in heavy physical effort lose the trace element through perspiration, increasing their need for it.26 In one study of high school soccer players, 38.5% of the students were severely iodine deficient.27 Vegetarians also have substantially greater likelihood of iodine deficiency than carnivorous people, since foods of plant origin are less rich in iodine than animal-derived foods. One study demonstrated iodine deficiency in 25% of vegetarians and an incredible 80% of vegans, compared with only 9% of those consuming a mixed diet that contained meat.28

http://www.lef.org/Magazine/2009/10/...ciency/Page-02

So don't worry about your iodized salt, if anything embrace it. Goitre is actually making a comeback now because everyone is constantly recommended lowering salt intake, thus people are starting to become iodine deficient again.

Shut up and enjoy your thin privilege, we all know it's not hard work, knowledge or anything. You just got great genetics.
Such a sad world we live in sometimes...
It's funny sometimes when people ask you how you lost the weight and you say "I ate a bit less than my body required and did some regular exercise" and they like don't believe you, refusing to believe it's so simple.
Or if they ask how I gained so much mass and got strong, "ate a bit more with a proper diet and lifted progressively with this and this lifting program" asks for advice on lifting etc. then proceeds to go to a PT or whatever and start some stupid machine routine never making any gains ...

It seems keto is the popular diet up north. Kind of makes sense though, tell viking they can diet on some fatty meats and dairy.

Dairy is still big part of traditional normal diet in your part of the world right znik?

Sparkpeople is becoming obnoxious with video ads you can't turn off. Log back into mfp and there are all these scroll over adds you have to close to log your food, and the app is still useless on my android phone if you have to search for anything you get a 1" window with ad booby traps all around. SMH, WTF!

Tried that myplate site, really bad.

MFP is slightly less obnoxious than spark, but I would miss the month long cals graphs. Those are pretty snazzy.

[stingray72]

@ ZNik.....

Thanks for the followup. Like I said I hadnt looked into the answer but this statement points to why it is added rather than naturally supplied.
(is it a synthetic form or natural?)

"because most western countries (apart from coastal ones, or countries with high sea food intake) has low levels of it, especially in the soil so our veggies doesn't get to absorb much."

(How our soil is deficient is the point im making)




Also heres an example where there is more nutritional value in sea salt and less processing as well as additives. Id imagine these vitamins in sea salt add a natural balance for the human body but I didnt look into it.

Ok now I did.

"sea salt contains:

Contains 60 trace minerals which help you stay hydrated.
Sufficient sodium levels that help balance your sodium-potassium ratios.
Powerful electrolytes like magnesium.
Trace elements required for proper adrenal, immune and thyroid function."




"What’s the difference between the way sea salt and table salt are made?

Sea salt is obtained directly through the evaporation of seawater. It is usually not processed, or undergoes minimal processing, and therefore retains trace levels of minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium and other nutrients.

Table salt, on the other hand, is mined from salt deposits and then processed to give it a fine texture so it’s easier to mix and use in recipes. Processing strips table salt of any minerals it may have contained, and additives are also usually added to prevent clumping or caking."

[EjnarKolinkar]

Well table salt has iodine. Most salt in foods does not, for example the salt they use for pickles. People who consume a good bit of sea foods should be fine. But one of the problems in cutting out table salt is cutting out the iodine.

There are iodized sea salt products, but you have to look for them.

[Znik]

I think it's just a rare mineral. Iodine deficiency seems to be on the rise in most countries now because people cut back on iodized salt and processed food etc. are usually made with non-iodized salt.
