Please tell me again about how enjoyable and fulfilling it is to kayak.

Frito-Lay is introducing low-carb chips.

Bleah.

Frito-Lay to Market Low-Carb Doritos and Tostitos

NEW YORK — Snack foods company Frito-Lay (search) said Wednesday it is introducing two new types of chips to capitalize on the popularity of low-carbohydrate diets (search).

The two new products, called Doritos Edge and Tostitos Edge, will cut out 60 percent of the carbohydrates that are in regular Doritos and Tostitos.

Frito-Lay, a unit of PepsiCo Inc. (PEP), has already eliminated trans fats from its brands. Trans fats, which give products a longer shelf life, have been linked to heart disease.

The new chips will use soy proteins and fiber as substitute ingredients, the company said in a statement. Both Tostitos Edge and Doritos Edge will have six net carbohydrates, 10 grams of protein, and three grams of fiber.

I'm afraid, BRC, that you miss the point. Not ever working is different from not ever having to work. I learned this last night on It's Good to be... The Hilton Sisters on E!

They never have HAD to work, yet they have worked because it makes them more complete people. For example, Paris has acted in several movies (along with, of course, The Simple Life) and modeled (free clothes!). Nicki designs purses and is making gazillions of dollars off of the Japanese market for her handbags. And they are starting to catch on in America too!! Paris jumped on the bandwagon there and is now selling a jewelry line (including tiaras!) to the Japanese suckers, er, public.

What I determined after spending a half hour hearing about their lives is that it is, in fact, good to be the Hilton sisters.

Exactly my point. Thank you.

And now the Paris and Nikki know where milk comes from and how to make their own shakes.

Could someone explain the concept of "net carbs"? How is that different from just carbs? what is being netted? thx.

Only if the receptionist steps away from the desk.

No way. I worked at A&W for 4 whole months. I'm way more experienced.

PRobably adverbabble, but maybe the energy it takes to chew this new cardboard product burns up 2 carbs, so it's gross 8, net 6. Net 4.2 if you slow dance while eating them.

I never said I'd do anything with my time if I had more. I mean I have 800 posts, which isn't 1800, but certainly is not indicative of wise use of one's time.
On vacation, I usually wast all day, but start drinking earlier. I suppose that coould be extrapolated into if I retired, I wouldn't be creating the great american novel.

Look, you tiresome ass, IL me or don't, but if you really do, get over me already. You're like that playground nit who keeps pestering the girl who's already told him to screw off.

Speaking of this issue, is it possible to make it so that people on your ignore list don't even show up with the "if you want to read ths post, click here" thing? I can stand seeins people's quotes, but having to see that little line on all the pages gets annoying.

Fascinating.

Almost all of my friends are people I met socially at one point or another in my life. They are rarely former classmates or work friends -- since those are people who became my friends as a result of geography rather than mutual interest.

Most of my good friends are from the stuff I do outside work.

So most are from my work on various boards, or you know, from videotaping Idle, or stuff like that.

I do have a couple of close friends from my job, but I find friendships from school and jobs don't tend to last so much once you are out of school and/or job.

It never even occurred to me that these might be mutually exclusive.
