Disagree on the first part (see post above - need to compare like-for-like) but agree on the second part. As an asthmatic, I can tell you there are health benefits to fewer greenhouse gasses. Of course, me buying a package of Beyond Burgers does nothing to reduce overall greenhouse gasses.

Oh, hell no it isn't healthy like eating vegetables! That's why they do not call it a "veggie burger." Then again, the vegetarian and vegan staples like tofu, seitan, and tempeh as well as protein powders are also highly processed. Given most cookbooks recommend, most restaurants use, and most beef-based burger patties available in stores use 70% or 80% lean ground beef for burgers, comparing a Beyond Burger patty to 90% lean ground beef is a bit misleading. Using a popular brand of burger patties as an example, the Beyond Burger has 50 fewer calories per 4 oz serving. (The beef-based brand is a 6 oz patty, it is very simple to calculate the 4 oz patty equivalent.) and 6 fewer grams of fat. The summary is it is comparable in calories and fat to most burger patties available in retail stores and restaurants.

I recently made Beyond Meat burgers and really liked them. The absence of soy attracted me because I don't tolerate soy products. One thing to note is the patties quick VERY quickly. Using my indoor smokeless grill, the recommended 4 minutes per side was too long. Next time it will be two minutes per side. I found the same to be true. Call it "virtual reality meat."

That's one of the funniest things I've heard in weeks. Glad I could inspire.

My last family Thanksgiving was in 1999. In September, 2000 I moved from Chicago to San Diego, where I had friends but no family. The thought of traveling cross-country was sickening as was subjecting my parents to picking me up at O'Hare. For years one set of friends hosted Thanksgiving. At one point, some mutual friends started having Thanksgiving and I spent it with them until this year when I just didn't have the energy to drive 6 hours to join them. That's the long-form way of saying "you'll be OK, @Unicorn ." You will be surprised how many people step up and invite their friends.

I like cherry and blueberry pie as long as they are not too sweet. Most pumpkin and apple pies are just too damn sweet. My mother made a terrific pumpkin pie. It was full of cinnamon and nutmeg, but not very sweet. Her apple pie was her finest accomplishment. The apples were crisp and tart and she used very little sugar but lots of cinnamon.

It is very important to make sure one's perineum is properly moisturized when engaging in sunning therapy. Everyone knows natural moisture is the best, so I see a business opportunity here providing "pre-sunning moisture therapy."

It is a standard 32 watt type "T8" fluorescent tube. "T8" is the type of ballast. Here in Phoenix, Lowes sells a two-pack for $13.98.

It's an accomplishment for both the group and for the Macy's parade. Happy Thanksgiving, @quoththeraven.

I'm spending Thanksgiving alone (well, the two cats are here) and will be making a turkey breast, dressing that closely approximates my mom's recipe, and corn on the cob for dinner. I had an invitation to see friends in California (with whom I've spent Thanksgiving for years) but I just could not bring myself to drive 375 miles each way. Last year I did and I was exhausted the entire weekend. Plus, i will be traveling to Florida for Christmas. Honestly, I am glad to have some "alone" time. Work tends to be a non-stop exercise in overstimulation and I need time off. Today I walked 5.5 miles and tomorrow I will do the same and take a bike ride, assuming we don't get rain. This reply should be pinned to the top of the Forum at every holiday.

True that! However, the silicon injections ruined his dick. It has been several years since he had them. Wonder if the ill effects have gone away. Still, he's a very nice, sexy man.

It depends on the individual. Some escorts have told me their real names when we met and others never did. I don't take personally an escort's choice to/not to share their real name.

Are you trying to tell us something, @oldNbusted ?

If memory serves correctly he is taking care of his dad and needs to live near him. Speaking from experience, convincing an elderly parent to move cross-country is like pissing in the wind.

IMO, the difference is that @tristanbaldwin is not writing a review, unlike the poster in the thread you linked to. He is stating that the guy did not look like his pics and ripped someone off. It is a very fine line, but a line nonetheless.

This is no different than most of the health "advice" circulating on the internet.

Not really. It simply means we don't have a plethora of members who live in Hawaii.

Just want you to know that I'd like to "like," "applaud," and mark this as being funny. The site only allows one, though. Well, good for you for trying. Good for you for giving him the benefit of the doubt. We now know it is not revenge porn. I almost wish we could watch what happens next, but it would probably not be pretty.

I'm thankful my mom was sexy.

My mother was always sexy. Was very proud to have a sexy mom!

Guessing he is using his iPad.

Going on 47.
