Never thought I would say chocolate and UGH in same sentence but
Posted By: Jen on 2009-06-15 In Reply to:
I have fibromyalgia and read in a recent magazine article that eating very dark chocolate with purity of about 70% actually helped fibro because of the medicinal qualities that cocoa beans have including antioxidants and flavonoids. Ok I got a bar that was extremely dark and had 80% purity and double UGH! The article said to eat a small amount each day but what is a small amount? Anyone else know anything about how much? By the way, read also the dark chocolate lowers blood sugar in diabetics.

Pumpkin pie with a 2:1 ratio of whipped cream to pie.
A root beer float.
Chocolate chip cookies, or else soft, iced molasses ones - warm from the oven, of course!
And for dessert, a few chocolate Easter bunnies and a dark chocolate Hershey bar with almonds.
And you last sentence, it says
sounds like they made a choice, seizures or a child that was medicated past the point of functining and enjoying life- his death certificate listed seizure as the cause of his death- think about that.
Your sentence is a little off
Kennedy did not breed the dog but rather had the dog at his home for awhile getting some training through one of his dog trainer. Kennedy not in the dog breeding program. He owns several of these dogs, in fact I heard 1 first alerted Kennedy's family when Kennedy had a seizure away from the home so very small doggies I would say.
oops - sentence got cut off....nm
.
Your sentence says it all, not overlooked by
all.......
Now the correct sentence for her would
have been 30 years.
What is wrong with our system??
Can you explain the sentence
I've be typing from home for a long time?
Explain my sentence...
I've typed from home since my 12-year-old was 2. Most of the time, he was right next to me. Then along came another. My hubby and I split days. He worked part-time and I worked part-time. We felt it better to not have the income and keep the children at home with us. My kids are 5 years apart. My son started school 1/2 day, so my working at home was great. Now, they are 12 and 7. I work at home full-time now and my hubby works full-time at his job. I am here for them, but they are in school all day. I am strictly an IC, so I adjust for whatever I need. I do not need the benefits, hubby has those. I do watch my children, but I have typed at home for 10 years now, and nothing too dramatic has suffered. Did I put my 7-year-old in preschool? Yes, I did. Did I have to jump up and down a lot? Yes, I did. Do I regret any minute of it? No, I do not. How about the sentence I had to write
Actucally it was a paragraph and I still remember it. Guess I was in trouble a lot.
This year in the sixth grade I will practice self-control by being curtious and polite in the halls and on the playgound.
There is lack of adequate class time is the core classes such as math, language arts, and science. Specials are great to have but specials do not dominate academia.
Does that make sense to anyone but me?
Just read a new article on sentence
I didn't get a chance to read it, because I'm on my out, but the headline read they his sentence is now 33 years. My daughter said she heard they upped it. Not sure if it's true or not, but he certainly deserves it.
And the main word in your sentence is
mainly - as pets mainly on leashes- sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. Do your neighbors keep pitbulls also?
This sentence in your post is worth to
remember and follow, I quote....
'So, see what you can do to learn to be your own best friend and company.'
<< Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side. >>
oops part of my sentence got deleted
meant to say not much you can do....lol
Your last sentence sorta breaks my heart
I have grandchildren but they are so tied in with the maternal side, even though we live only perhaps 15 miles apart, never see or talk with them- I tried being close when they were younger but they were always, always at the other grandmoms home, never mine. I love them and wish them well.
Letting person finish sentence
My hubs has called it to my attention several times that I do this to him. I really love, admire and cherish him and I am glad he has not given up on me like some of the above state. It is not done intentionally but I think sometime he sorta stammers and huh, huh it 1 time too much and then here I rush in. Oh, well I am an Aries and I want things done yesterday!
Important: I disagree with this sentence in your post:
'If you and your brother get anything at all, I think you should be glad because you were only taking the place of your father....'
The grandfather did NOT name the father in the will, he cut him out and named his grand children as heirs.
my chocolate lab
My lab is VERY STRONG - but luckily very loving and good natured. . We constantly are in the training process. He is about a year old now and loves everybody . but I get what you're saying and I think all dogs do have the potential to be aggressive if not trained/treated properly.
Hot chocolate mix
My sister-in-law's church made hot chocolate to give to their homebound friends at church. They used powdered hot chocolate mix but added creamer and milk chocolate chips to it. They put it in a Mason jar covered with fabric and tied a ribbon around it. It was really cute and it really does taste wonderful!! I don't know if you would want to give that to your boss, but I might make some for neighbors and keep some on hand for unexpected gifts we receive.
chocolate
I would stash them in the cupboard and eat them by the handful when no one was watching....
But if you must drink them I would add a drop of vanilla, cinnamon and some sugar to the melted chocolate thinned with milk.....:)
Chocolate Mousse
I could eat it every day. Yum.

That is Maggie our chocolate lab - she always has - sm

Coffe and Chocolate
I quit coffee and chocolate by switching to Ginger. I buy ginger in bulk from gingerpeople.com. Crystalized ginger, ginger boosts, anything ginger. I also like Siberian Gingseng (another herb from health food store). Makes me just as happy and awake as chocolate and it is fat free.
One family had a Chocolate,
Strawberry, and Vanilla as girl names.
Years ago heard of a Dorkus.
Know two females named Michael.
Grew up with a kid (boy) named Kelly Green
Hot Chocolate Recipe
I'm looking for a good hot chocolate recipe using semi-sweet chocolate and regular milk (not cream or half-and-half). I over bought on the chocolate chips. I have checked recipes.com and will check a few other sites later. Just thought in the meantime someone here might have a good recipe to share. :) TIA!
Must be a chocolate kind of day...sm
I had a handful of M&Ms and a cup of hot chocolate for lunch. Unfortunately, I'm still sleepy.
valentine's chocolate
buy it. melt it. think of some new & interesting ways to, uh, serve it.
Hubby remembered one night...just 1 night...and can't remember when, that I was so hungry for a piece of chocolate, he gave me 5 pounds of chocolate for Christmas!!! I love chocolate but not that much!!!! I think he wants me to get fat.
I ate 2 pieces so far since Christmas. Hmmmmmmmmmm, think I'll go grab a piece now. It seems to be calling me.
Want to up my line count. Found Swiss Miss hot chocolate with caffeine. I am jumping out of my skin! Had to let you all know if coffee rips your stomach apart this may be an alternative. But I have not yet experienced the crash if at all from the sugar. But man, I am out of my skin!
I'd better go type now so I can take advantage of the line count. Yikes! This is quite a caffeine chocolate burst...LOL
WASHINGTON - If that craving for chocolate sometimes feels like it is coming from deep in your gut, that's because maybe it is.

A small study links the type of bacteria living in people's digestive system to a desire for chocolate. Everyone has a vast community of microbes in their guts. But people who crave daily chocolate show signs of having different colonies of bacteria than people who are immune to chocolate's allure.
That may be the case for other foods, too. The idea could eventually lead to treating some types of obesity by changing the composition of the trillions of bacteria occupying the intestines and stomach, said Sunil Kochhar, co-author of the study. It appears Friday in the peer-reviewed Journal of Proteome Research.
Kochhar is in charge of metabolism research at the Nestle Research Center in Lausanne, Switzerland. The food conglomerate Nestle SA paid for the study. But this isn't part of an effort to convert a few to the dark side (or even milk) side of cocoa, Kocchar said.
In fact, the study was delayed because it took a year for the researchers to find 11 men who don't eat chocolate.
Kochhar compared the blood and urine of those 11 men, who he jokingly called "weird" for their indifference to chocolate, to 11 similar men who ate chocolate daily. They were all healthy, not obese, and were fed the same food for five days.
The researchers examined the byproducts of metabolism in their blood and urine and found that a dozen substances were significantly different between the two groups. For example, the amino acid glycine was higher in chocolate lovers, while taurine (an active ingredient in energy drinks) was higher in people who didn't eat chocolate. Also chocolate lovers had lower levels of the bad cholesterol, LDL.
The levels of several of the specific substances that were different in the two groups are known to be linked to different types of bacteria, Kochhar said.
Still to be determined is if the bacteria cause the craving, or if early in life people's diets changed the bacteria, which then reinforced food choices.
How gut bacteria affect people is a hot field of scientific research.
Past studies have shown that intestinal bacteria change when people lose weight, said Dr. Sam Klein, an obesity expert and professor of medicine at Washington University in St. Louis.
Since bacteria interact with what you eat, it is logical to think that there is a connection between those microbes and desires for certain foods, said Klein, who wasn't part of Kochhar's study.
Kochhar's research makes so much sense that people should have thought of it earlier, said J. Bruce German, professor of food chemistry at the University of California Davis. While five outside scientists thought the study was intriguing, Dr. Richard Bergman at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, had concerns about the accuracy of the initial division of the men into groups that wanted chocolate or were indifferent to it.
What matters to Kochhar is where the research could lead.
Kochhar said the relationship between food, people and what grows in their gut is important for the future: "If we understand the relationship, then we can find ways to nudge it in the right direction."
