I think Mr LT needs a good talking too

Lemon_Tree

he needs many things including a good talking to lol

Nora i keep thinking that if i break into the box then i'm going backwards on the packing stuff up process. plus is a box of chocolate worth moving about 20 boxes for just to find it? at the moment i would say yes but in a less chocolate deprived time i would probably leave them alone.

Lemon_Tree

mr LT has just partially rectified the situation by telling me where he'd put the choccies from the advent calendars that we hadn't opened. not the nicests ones but they'll do

!!:eek:!!

*splutters* Why would you even question the worth of that box?? *weeps for the unappreciated*

Lemon_Tree

they only reason i'm asking the question is cos i just can't be bothered to move. I'm about to go back to my knitting which i'm doing partially with the aim of not spending time picking at food on an evening because i'm bored.

just started watching a filum - Sanctum what a bunch of nutters! jumping into a big hole in the ground lol
saw the film at the cinema and it was ok but not amazing, easy to watch whilst knitting though.

lol i hate getting so riled up about things Uni, i rarely think things are worth it but it's just got under my skin i have to admit. I would eat brown bread only within an hour i feel sick which lasts for hours, i get to the stage that it would be worth making myself sick just to get relief. i'm sure that would then cause me other problems but because i explain that to dieticians they say i refuse to take their advice. I didn't realised that brown bread was literally the saviour of our world.

You haven't even scratched the surface of it. The proclaimations of the safe drinking limits (for example) were "plucked out of the air" but are still uttered by the medical profession like gospel. A lot of the advice "by medical experts" owes more to religion than to science.

The evidence does exist that alcohol has a protective effect to a maximum point, then gradually starts damaging people the more they drink - so gradually withdrawing that benefit. Once you start consuming more than 63 units per week, then you're round about back to the health risk of being teetotal.

Of course that is medical evidence based, not advice from doctors.

Alas 63 units is about a bottle of wine per day, and medical professionals (especially in the country that spawned the Puritans) couldn't be seen to be supporting that level of consumption as it would look like people were enjoying themselves, so they recommend far less. Much less than other countries for example - which are also lying, but making us stand out because we're lying more than they are.

Alcohol is not the only area this happens, but already I've talked in the past about some of the others.

As far as your brown bread goes, never mention the diet of the Eskimo...

If we've got about 3 weeks to move then that's not a long time to run things down.

LT, a good friend of my Mum's is a dietician and her belief is that no one can follow the same diet. Just as you can't eat brown bread, I can't eat brown rice, her suggestion was to get fibre from other sources i.e. porridge etc its a matter of finding what suits you and finding something you like............ I liked her advice also as she says dark chocolate is good for you (liver function and seratonin levels)

Isn't that a natural progression?
