You started out by telling us that you drink beer with greater alcohol content and then you justify it by saying that it has lower alcohol content that liquor or wine? Burger is right -- a 12 ounce beer = liquor drink with one shot = 6-8 oz glass of wine. Beer is not better for you. But if it makes you feel better to think so...

Now wait one second, ncs. I know where you are coming from here, and I think you probably have a good point. But, you come off sounding a little judgmental. I like and respect you too much to let you get away with that. The information you are giving to Thrashers Fan is good and helpful, but maybe you could deliver it in a prettier package?

6-8 per night, if it is every night, sounds like a lot for someone who weighs 130, but that is definitely your business and if you think its cool, then fine.

See, I like this approach much better. You don't have to not have an opinion, but we should all respect that others may have opinions that are different. I see you doing that here, and for that, I say "Kudos!"

Yay!

Thrasher, since you are a vegetarian, I have to highly recommend Gardenburger's new Herbed Cutlet. It's just about the best veggie food ever. High in protein, incredibly delicious.

Does it taste like meat? I have been a veggie for over 20 years now and really don't crave meat (at least not the dead kind ) so I have never tried substituting with any of those tofu-burgers. I appreciate the tip though, maybe I can get the hubby to eat something like that - I don't think I have ever met someone who is more of a carnivore than my hubby and I worry about all of that meat he eats especially when he generally despises all veggies (I keep trying to tell him that potatoes don't really count).

PLF, this saccharine crap is making me OD on goodness already. Please go back to your arrogant unkind self.

Much appreciated.

The hell it's not. You drink like this everyday and you WILL be fat (if you're not already). Hell, if you drink like this everyday, by the time you reach 35, you will be the pathetic broad at the end of the bar, trying to hold it together while angrily accusing every guy you come in contact with of trying to make you take it up the ass.

I've already already envision a fat, dowdy haus-frau with the keyboard keys stained orange from all the Cheetos.

If anyone is interested, I decided it was appropriate to express my concerns about the article yesterday to the editor of the organization. I explained I felt that Smith misrepresented her intentions in conducting her interviews and also, misrepresented what she was told in the final product.

I did this not so much because I cared about the article, as I said to them it was just a puff piece about two bulletin boards, but rather, because they have someone running around who considers what she did fair minded reporting. Much to my surprise they did actually respond.

They offered me the opportunity to write a letter which they would happily publish (though of course it would have to be under my real name.) I explained I really didn't feel the need, but rather, I wanted them to be aware of what could be a very serious problem with one of their reporters.

They said they would look into it. We shall see whether they actually do this.

I'm drinking all of the Diet Coke that Ty gave up. Plus my own share. Notify the UN War Crimes Tribunal.

Every couple of years I try to stop drinking diet coke. I always end up falling off the wagon. The last time I tried to give it up, coke's stock prices plummeted.

I've taken to drinking at least two forty four ounce glasses of water a day. Probably more than that.

Whoa! This seems a little jarring. I know that you and leagleaze are both admnstrators here, and that this is probably a bit of repartee, and probably is intended to have a humorous effect. But still, it could easily be misintepreted as a verbal slap in the face. I enjoy irreverent humor as much as the next guy, but let's be careful about the kind of impressions we might be giving to others, particularly those who might be just visiting.

Speaking of visitors, "Hi" to all of you out there lurking! ("Lurking" is a term we use to decribe those who read, but do not post.) I know some of you have gotten just a terrible impression of us from that article portraying us all as pottymouths, but please do not let a few bad apples spoil the bunch. many of us are capable of carrying on quite civilized conversations. Stick around and find out!

Yay!

Perhaps we should have a find-PLF-a-new-tag-line contest for the new PLF. My suggestion is -- I bore me.

Toodles!

Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Grouchy. You absolutely have the right to your opinion, and certainly have the right to express it, but your words have the capacity to hurt. I'm not going to go around telling you what to post or not to post, but let's all think a bit about the consequences of our words before we hit the "Submit Reply" button. I think we'll all be pleased with the results!

Yay!

The cutlets have become the OM's favorite food, and he's been a vegetarian since '89. My biggest concern in managing the OM's diet is ensuring he has enough protein, so I depend on these, burgers, sausages, etc. What do you use for protein?

Ever tried to grow mint? Buy seeds. Chuck 'em in dirt. Watch the stuff spread all over the place.

I'm not even sure you need to buy seeds. You could probably just dump out the remains of a mint julep and by the next spring, you'd have a lawn full of mint.

I once had a cute little herb garden. It's now a mint patch.

Oh dear. For those of you out there lurking, please understand that, as far as I can tell, this is just the type of tongue-in-cheek irreverence that is part and parcel of life on this internet chat board. Please, please do not think that this is a place where we are consumed with trivial spats and name-calling. It is a community like any other. Some of the humor is a bit ribald for my taste, but that is just one tiny aspect of this board. It is a diverse and fun community and many of us have actually become friends IRL. (That is internet shorthand for "In Real Life," because the people on these boards often seem like they are imaginary - like this is not real life, although we of course all know that it really is real, just a different type of real! Not better or worse. Just different!)

Yay!

Burger - gave me excellent Hawaii recommendations (btw, Oahu is next...); but since we were discussing things to do with our respective SOs, not crush material

What? He is married? Ef that. Flabby balding image has been permanently cemented.

I will add I have a slight crush on Abba.
