  1. fing on fing’s “Plant based diets” Slow. I have been doing the best I can to replace whatever I can with something veggie or fruit. This morning I made a protein shake with grapes instead of my usual bowl of cereal. Lunch was skipped (not on purpose) and I made some Barley …
  2. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” How it it going??
  3. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” Another super fast meal I made: http://estrip.org/articles/read/tinypliny/54950/Cooking-simple.html Experiment. It's hard to go wrong once you have some basics and combinations down.
  4. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” I don't know if you like soups, but they are my favourite food. Today, I made a tomato based soup in around 15 minutes. You need a rice cooker to compete with http://estrip.org/articles/read/tinypliny/55212/Squashed!.html Take any beans or…
  5. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” Try this: Chop apples (preferably green, but if you don't like green, you could go red or yellow or whatever), carrots, toss in a few strawberries, maybe a peach, chop in some basil, sprinkle some shredded unsweetened coconut on this, spri…
  6. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” Actually, it's super easy to get proteins in a vegetarian diet. I wouldn't recommend going vegan since its somewhat extreme. But EVEN in a vegan diet, its easy. Take a look: http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm Lentils, legumes and nut…
  7. fing on fing’s “Plant based diets” I think doing a meal a day might be a good start. I might even just do up to two but I know I am not the type of person to cut out meat entirely. I could see myself eating meat just a few times a week and not every day. I have always been …
  8. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” That's great. So how do you want to start it? Do you want to make one meal a day completely plant based for starters (I think you might already be on such a diet). What is your diet like? Can you, for instance, tell us what you ate the who…
  9. fing on fing’s “Plant based diets” Yeah sorry I had something typed up the other day but forgot to save it. There is not much I don't like besides peas (which I am learning to like) and olives. Probably want to try to stick to things I can get at Wegman's.
  10. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” Welllllll????? I was all excited about your enthusiasm!!! Where have you vanished??
  11. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” Where is the list?? :)
  12. metalpeter on fing’s “Plant based diets” As someone who doesn't eat well at all I can say I like my meat and lots of that stuff that is good for you I don't like the taste of well unless it is Buttered.. Taste is a big factor and I think for that reason you need to ease into thin…
  13. metalpeter on fing’s “Plant based diets” Sorry but Vegans are nuts.... No meat I get... But nothing that comes from animals at all so out goes all milk products what does one eat? So also no leather or anything cow hide..... How does one get a belt? kidding a bit but........
  14. paul on fing’s “Plant based diets” I like vegetables a lot. I tried being vegan for years but it ended up not working out. Now I just eat a balance of vegtables and animal products although I still think I eat more vegtables than most Americans. Just nowhere near as much as…
  15. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” So if you are really serious, go ahead and post a list! Let's see what makes it on there!
  16. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” This is an interesting blog: http://vegetarianwellness.com/blog Just pick a random recipe and follow whatever you can. :) Most vegetarian recipes are very forgiving, the results are mostly good. This is a good round up of the best out ther…
  17. fing on fing’s “Plant based diets” Great idea. I knew you would reply but didn't want to single you out. I am sure there are a lot of good fruits and veggies out there I don't even know about. I try to keep things simple but I think that could get boring pretty quick.
  18. tinypliny on fing’s “Plant based diets” It is EXTREMELY easy to eat a predominantly plant based diet and not overwhelming at all. 101cookbooks is an extensive and well-written site of vegetarian recipes for starters: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives.html There are MILLIONS m…
  19. metalpeter on fing’s “Things seem different now” Depending on how things went down what happened can change your perspective on life.... PTSD (not saying you have it) isn't only in war it is can happen from any Trama... Of course now if you know something is wrong you could be worried th…
  20. tinypliny on fing’s “Things seem different now” Hope you feel better soon!!!
  21. libertad on fing’s “Things seem different now” Sorry to hear about your injury. Perhaps the answer to your problem is psychedelic mushrooms? New research shows that it can cause lasting positive personality changes. http://healthland.time.com/2011/10/03/want-to-feel-younger-more-open-m…
  22. enknot on fing’s “The topics are all looking different to me lately” ha ha ha.. Perfect stranger fuck buddy...mmmmmm (I'm pathetic and gross)
  23. metalpeter on fing’s “The topics are all looking different to me lately” Great Comment Wish I would have thought of that.....
  24. leetee on fing’s “The topics are all looking different to me lately” Love and Crazy might also go with perfect stranger fuck buddy....
  25. tinypliny on fing’s “Running Hazards” hehehee that is hilarious for some reason. And wow, that must have been some fall! The small statistician in me wants to calculate the probability of that happening. (Combination shoe-sock of interest/all possible combination of shoes-sock…
  26. paul on fing’s “Shaved for the first time in about a month” You had a nice beard. I can't imagine shaving everyday. Then again, I think guys look way better with beards. Which file upload wasn't working?
  27. fing on fing’s “two staples for the two year old” He is doing fine. Just being a boy I guess :)
  28. tinypliny on fing’s “two staples for the two year old” How is he doing now???
  29. tinypliny on fing’s “Cleaning out” I nodded in agreement so many times as I read this post. Recycling consciousness always comes in the way of a completely garbage-free home for me AND I am ALWAYS annoyed about the whole necessity of shredding stuff. Can't people NOT devise…
  30. paul on fing’s “Cleaning out” I say burn it and take pictures. I bought one of those chiminea things from home depot last year. You could defiantly use one of those. Okay, I meant definitely but since it got spell corrected to defiantly, I thought I'd leave it. You can…

  1. fing on joe’s “ Air filters need to be changed” You guys should look at Lowes online. They sell a pack of them that usually ends up being a good price. Also if you have fresh ones laying around you probably are more likely to change them on time. That is my experience anyway :)
  2. fing on paul’s “Work - I'm on strike” I was here until about 7 and thought it was weird you were not here when I came back to pack up. You do have a ton to offer. This place has been lucky to have you for so long I think. I hope Monday is better for you. Enjoy your time off th…
  3. fing on paul’s “Nightmare Tile Scenario” I would almost think that with those tiles the problem could have started with uneven mortar that was put down over the plywood. Get it the way you want it now or you will hate it every time you walk in the bathroom.
  4. fing on paul’s “ More Bathroom Deconstruction” Looks like it's going to be a lot of work Paul. If you want to do the supply lines for the water yourself check out pex piping. Very easy to work with. I am in the middle of a bathroom renovation myself. Is that your chimney on that wall o…
  5. fing on paul’s “ Milk Straws” We got some of these for the kids once. They are pretty cool actually. As the milk comes up through the straw it breaks down what's inside. We got the chocolate ones and it really is like instant chocolate milk.
  6. fing on paul’s “Wedding Rings” I am not mr moneybags but my wife's ring is on our home owners insurance. It costs only another 50 or 60 bucks per year to cover it. Might be less as I have not looked at it in a while.
  7. fing on paul’s “Rat Tail Gone Wild” I see this guy all the time walking in that area. He is a weird lookin dude.
  8. fing on paul’s “Network Support?” You should plug in and see if you get anywhere. We use old ones at work sometimes to hold the closet doors open.
  9. fing on AllenStreet’s “Board wanted” A while back we made a headboard from scratch. We used something called a Z Hanger. You attach one to the wall and the other to the back of what you are hanging and they sit flush to the wall. The headboard is not that heavy but it will su…

  14. fing on paul’s “Server Maintenance?” You need a good disaster recovery site.
  15. fing on paul’s “Bath n Shine” Did you use Turtle Wax? Sorry could not resist.
  16. fing on paul’s “Hair crisis” I did that one time trimming my beard when it was thicker. I think I pushed to hard and it caused the plastic guard teeth to spread apart a bit. Just shave it.
  17. fing on paul’s “Old brick building on virgina place” One of my good friends lived in the right side of this building when you are looking at the front. The inside was not to bad but it is split into two apartments. They have a nice patio on the back also.
  18. fing on paul’s “Orange Tongue” Did you get the poly-resin filling? I had several cavities as a kid and sometimes they get bad again. I have them filled with poly-resin which takes a while to harden but I don't think it uses any metal. From what I understand it bonds bet…
  19. fing on paul’s “Parking on the Lawn” I can't believe how much there is between the sidewalk and the street. Why not just put down a cement pad there and use it as a driveway or is that not allowed?
  20. fing on fing’s “two staples for the two year old” He is doing fine. Just being a boy I guess :)
  21. fing on paul’s “Organic vs non-organic” I agree with you Paul. I think that the organic chicken is much better then the regular pack. It has more flavor and keeps moist longer.
  22. fing on enknot’s “Really?” Tony, I think what they were trying to tell you is that the Windows phone is so efficient you don't have to be on it very much. Let's say it takes you 10 seconds to check your Estrip on an Android phone. It might only take 3 seconds on a W…
  23. fing on tinypliny’s “Pain Pain Pain” Just think. This is the last thing that countless vegetables have seen over the years.
  24. fing on paul’s “Bye Bye Building” I feel like it would be fun for the first hour and then you probably would be dizzy from all the spinning. They are going through today and picking out all the metal and probably will separate more for the trash.
  25. fing on paul’s “Wegmans Organic Chicken sucks” We did not buy the organic chicken but they had a brand that they carried a brand that was between regular and organic chicken. They have however just discontinued them which sucks for us. It was not free range but did not have any hormone…
  26. fing on chris’s “Tablet obsession..” I like it. I think most people will have a tablet in the next year. I want to get one but the only really good option right now seems to be the iPad. I want to let the Android ones mature a little before I make a decision.
  27. fing on paul’s “Running Home at Midnight” Is that with your laptop on your back?
  28. fing on paul’s “Scraping Websites” Isn't that the whole idea behind Flipbook? Scrapes all the data and puts it in a form you can read for free?
  29. fing on paul’s “Haircut” I like it! Although I have the same cut so I guess I better like it.
  30. fing on paul’s “Nexus One magic” I use Google Voice and have it answer my cell phone messages. It is nice to have the message emailed to you. I do find that even though it is wrong most of the time you can still make out what is generally being said.
