Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 Ditto for me. Of course I support animal rights, but in their proper place, and not where their posts are off-topic, and so many that they become a public nuisance. On my own lists, I have had to both ban and such senders, since if I do not ban them, they just re and start all over again. As it is they change their email address, and I have to keep banning what is undoubtedly the same person or people. Message: 3 Sat, 09 Dec 2000 09:57:12 -0500 Carrie Nixon <cnixon animal rights I believe animals have a right to be treated fairly and with respect, that's partly why I became a vegetarian. BUT I am on this list for VEGETARIAN RECIPES, not to discuss political issues or to find ways to be more active in protecting them. This is not the place for those discussions. I think the effort to protect animals is great, I think what you do is wonderful, but please DO NOT post so many messages unrelated to vegetarian COOKING on this list. If everyone else does not mind these postings, and wish them to continue, I will . Thanks Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 The Strawberry Music festival takes place at Camp Mather, Yosemite, California (450 miles SE of Ashland). It happens twice a year on Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends. I've actually never been, so I can't tell you much about it. My cousin invited me to go with him and that is how I found out about it. The festival web site is http://www.strawberrymusic.com. I just discovered that tickets are sold out as of today, but there is a possibility of buying them from people wanting to sell their tickets through the unofficial ticket exchange web site http://phorums.freeradio.com. -Tim > > Yea Attila and Tim!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 QOTW: What do you like for a Pick-Me-Up? Hi everyone: I had to think really hard about what I like for a pick-me-up. I like so many things! For the most part I like to treat myself daily to a three pieces of dried fruit... prunes, apricots especially, dates or figs. Although high in natural sugars, these little treats satisfy my "sugar" need. I usually purchase the smallest package I can find of these dried fruits. When I get them home I divide them into little ziplock snack bags, three pieces to the bag. I then pile all the little baggies into a colourful plastic basket and put the basket in the freezer. This really helps me control my "snacking" because I make myself take out just one baggy at a time and let it thaw out before I eat it... No cheating with the microwave, either! :-) Often by the time the baggy is thawed out, I don't want more that one or two pieces. When my world gets turned upside down for one reason or another I will take my little baggy of fruit and go for a nice long walk... usually a half hour or more. The combination of these two things keeps me away from the processed sugar goodies (cookie, candy bars and what not) and eating more natural foods. It also gets me out of the house which, with an ill husband, isn't easy to do at times. I try very hard not to keep store-bought sweets of any kind in the house. On the other hand I try to keep both dried and fresh fruit on hand. Lately, I've been learning to make my own "Fruit Trail Mix" minus the nuts. I also package this in small 1/4 cup packets (small ziplock snack baggies) and freeze these as well. I also make small air tight plastic containers of fresh vegetables like carrot and celery stick, cucumber slices and little salads. I've found that if I make up these little packages and plastic containers then I don't have any excuse to go on a junk food junky binge. :-) My biggest problem is not letting my emotions control me... I am getting better at separating my emotions and nasty little "picking away at anything" habit. Sometimes I fall off of my plan and this reflects at weekly "weigh in". It's getting easier and easier to stay with my plan and I find that I'm getting further and further away from all the junk food that I was seriously addicted to! I'm now getting rather resentful of stores, large and small, who put the candy bar and chip racks right by the darn cash register, for goodness sake!! <G> Like Pat, I love my tea, but now I drinking as much water as I can get into me in a day... usually 4 to 6 large glasses. This is one thing that's really making a difference! I hope this will help others. Silver PS: I've now lost 18 pounds since November 28/03! I have about 27 more pounds to lose to make my doctor... and me happy! I'm not losing what I need to lose quickly, but for the most part all this excess weight is coming off and staying off and my blood pressure has leveled out considerably! I wish everyone well on their personal roads to slimming! Thank you so much for making this group available, Pat. (HUG) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Wow! That's really disciplined of you ;=) For me, however, a pick-me-up (as opposed to a response to a craving) wouldn't work if I had to wait for it to thaw out - if the blood sugar is down or the sleepiness is taking over or the mood has dropped, then I need something *now*. For the first, I agree that a little (very little since, as we know and you suggest, it's high in calories) dried fruit works fine: my choice is usually a few raisins or a slice of dried apricot. For the second, a cup of tea or the vitamin B drink works fine. And if those two don't pick up the mood in a hurry, then it's off for a brisk walk with the dogs or a little jogging on the spot (the latter not possible since I had that fall at Easter, but soon again perhaps ;=)). As for your weight loss: That's great. To lose slowly slowly slowly and consistently is the very best way. Oh we'd all like an instant fix to our weight gains of course. But that rarely lasts - unless it's just say four or five pounds we've gained after something like a holiday, wedding, weekend away with friends ;=) For a big weight loss and permanent (woweeee!) weight loss, slow and steady wins the race as they say ;=) Good for you!! You're getting there and you will Do It - I just know you will! Congratulations on what you've done so far - an inspiration! Best love, Pat ;=) --- c10a8b48 wrote: > QOTW: What do you like for a Pick-Me-Up? > > Hi everyone: > > I had to think really hard about what I like for a > pick-me-up. I like > so many things!

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I think I might try this too! It sounds fiddly, but hey you'd know if you were overdoing it because you'd have dug into an extra snack bag! A good tip!!! Thanks.
