Things that make you go "hmmmm" or Say what???!!!!

Can't understand why folks pay $300,000 for a hundred dollar lot!

I watched a developer pile debris into/onto a steeply (STEEPLY --AS IN A BIG SLIPPERY SLOPE ENDING UP AS A WATERY HOLE) sloped piece of land......until the "land" was brought up even with the roadway...and then proceed to build a two story $250 plus thousand dollar house on top of it. Surely a little time, and settling, and decay of the "fill"(garbage) was going to wreck havoc with that house.

It doesn't make me say "hmmmmmmm, What!" as much as it makes me think criminal!


Now, I will tell you a true story...that DID make me think "Say What?"
Last Sunday while sitting at the table and reading the papers, I was reading about
all the terrible and worrisome things happening in Japan. I said to my hubby, "oh no, it says here that the spinach may be contaminated with radiation.". He looked at me (dead serious) and said (I kid you not) "canned or frozen?"

(...I'd say that's criminal.)

Seems everything we don't want ends up in the ocean, the huge oil disaster in the Gulf now this, (albeit the wind is the factor here). It's like out of sight out of mind, "No worries it's all gone now." What's the ½ life of that stuff anyway?? Doesn't water evaporate from the oceans and come back down again in the form of rain? We ingest seafood, feed our livestock derivatives from the sea... it all comes back one way or another. Seems we're so advanced and intelligent that we've perfected the art of fooling ourselves into a false sense of security on a mass scale..
Anywayzzz, - that's just my 2¢ worth, not that it matters. (lol!) ☺

I never liked fish and look where they ended up!

lol!!

roflol - did you look up at him and say: a Duh - fresh

I have to work on being kinder....'Duh/Fresh' wasn't exactly how I put it.

LOL!

Yes, the radiation is worrisome.....will it affect the produce that's shipped here from Calif?

Too weak so far.

Thank God for that....I just bought Calif collards today without thinking!

I'll have to buy a Geiger counter so I can check the lettuce..

Maybe it will be cheaper.

If you want to have a serious dicussion about California's produce safety, you might want to start with the migrant workers not having restroom facilities...

....ergo the "squat" right next to your lettuce, etc.

That's why I only get mine from North Korea.

Gotta luv those natural flavor enhancers..

- Found one for $69 with all the accessories, but they're sold out, they're expecting a new shipment soon..

Don't you sometimes wish after reading a post on a thread you can just type "IDIOT!!!"?????

- Yes, and I have.

Sorry, I'm still chuckling over " canned or frozen"

(grin) it wasn't funny then... It made me afraid for my future

LOL Rosie!

I'm a member of sparkpeople.com great source to track your food intake and exercises/calories burned.
Every once in awhile I'll peruse the message boards...there are crazy people out there!!!

Lady says she just over a stomach flu/virus(whatever it was) and says the first thing she ate was sushi for lunch...
really???? what do you think happened?


of course, came right back up....really???? DUH!!!!!!!!!!

Back at the end of WWII in 1945, Allied soldiers liberating the concentration camps in Germany gladly shared their foodstuffs with the prisoners, not realizing that a sudden resumption of eating would cause death, which it did in many cases.

Proper procedure was to start out with tiny amounts of broth, then gently escalate to soup over the course of days, before moving on to small amounts of solids.

I am going to check out that website - I have a bunch of patients that may really appreciate it.

What is behind the name Sparkpeople?

I would never eat sushi on my best day! But I had a friend, when pregnant, craved clam juice....yuck!

Back in the 1980's, I tried "clamato" V-8, and I both loved it--hated it at the same time, which is a very rare reponse to food.

I tried sushi before it became such an "in" thing. Still hate it!

Wow BA, never knew that

Spark means that want to put a spark in people to get healthy

I liked sushi when I tried it, but won't go out of my way to get it. Much rather have cooked fish.

love clamato for bloodies

I've never had a bloody mary, of course, not crazy about tomato juice

I like the psuedo sushi....the cooked crab and avacodo...california roll style. Actually, it is the sticky rice that I love that is wrapped around it and the fresh thin thin slice of ginger.....wow!

Yep...leave out the seafood, & I'd love it....

What is that black sort of skin in the sushi roll....... is it fish??
Please don't tell me it is eel or .......snake!

Seaweed?

Good news, that "black skin" is a vegetable-based seaweed product that has been compressed so it can be rolled....................so don't worry!

Sigh of relief... Can you hear it?

the ginger and wasabi are the best part of sushi

And the parasites!!

Love the wasabi on raw tuna in rice, yum!!
