  1. That really looks great, Brett. Now, all you need is an area rug so the dogs can arrange themselves strategically under your feet where you'll be sure to trip and kill yourself when you try to pry yourself out of the couch.
  2. He read this and went to work. His eyes did bug out a little over the gallon o'milk a day part. Hey Mikey, he liked it. He says less PB and more blueberries and ice next time. Thanks!
  3. Ooh, thanks! Right click>Save>retitle "Richard Cranium’s standard shake">Print. Haha. Let me know if you like it. Some people are put off by the cottage cheese. I have no problem with cottage cheese, except that I happen to be out of it at the moment. I guess thats when I was putting pb in them on a regular basis. I generall don't any more. OK I just pulled up my diet tracker from back when I was keeping track and found this: Without the pb and with the oats: 323cal, 30.9g carb, 38.9g protein, 4g fiber, 6g fat, 2.5g sat fat Wow, way too many carbs for me. I'll tone down the oats, use low-fat cottage cheese and definitely no peanut butter. I did pass it along as is to my son who is actively trying to add mass right now. He's built up his muscles a teensy bit lately from starting a gym routine and diet modification, but I haven't yet burst his little bubble that as a High School Senior stick figure, it's really not possible for him to build much mass for close to the next ten years. He can dream. He liked the looks of the shake ingredients.

    When I saw this: I literally said "Oooh" out loud. It's all looking so great, Todd!
  6. +1 Sounds like you need another glycemic reset. Eat some good carbs for a few days and go back to phase 1 for 7-10 days. That will get you back into ketosis and burning fat again. Then go back into phase 2, eat fewer/better carbs then you did the first time around and exercise more. I would include weight training along with the cardio you are already doing. That's really funny combined with your avatar.

    Laminate Flooring

    It's not beige! It's a goldish yellow, dammit! No boring, freaking beige. :icon_mutter: :icon_snooty:

    Laminate Flooring

    A scissors lift never occurred to me. For some time, I pondered having to paint those walls and ceiling with a very long pole and it just seemed beyond me. I have physical restrictions which helped rationalize just hiring someone to do it. I did paint my kids' rooms myself years ago, but this time someone else did it all. They used the long pole and a ladder. That ceiling looked like a total bitch to paint. Watching them do it confirmed it was money well-spent. Hey, where's Todd with my "Mmm, yellow"? I could get huffy.

    Laminate Flooring

    I have Santos Mahogany engineered hardwood in my house. I tried to find some photos but this is all I could come up with. I'm pretty sure I have more so I'll scout around a bit, or take more shots if you're interested. The floors were installed 2½ years ago in most of the downstairs rooms. I couldn't afford to also do the living room at the time so that was installed the following year. Laminates were considered, but I'd heard they were noisy and with the high ceiling in the entry way and living room, I was afraid of that. Also, I thought lighter to medium laminates looked better, but the darker ones looked too fake for me. I'm sure that's been improved even since I did it. The floors have scratched quite a bit from the dogs' nails, but and I've noticed a bit of a film that's built up, even with using the Bona wood floor cleaner which is the one which is most recommended. That being said, I still love my floors. (Ignore the ugly pink carpet. I hope to replace that when possible, but one project at a time. )

    I feel all vicariously involved. Your house is looking so beautiful, Todd.
  11. Oh man, I hate you, Steve. I'm suddenly dying for a donut. A chart. He has to post a chart. I want this one:

    You might want to consider taking this question to the Garage where more people will see it.

    horsepower!

    Amazing that a clueless, airheaded female such as myself had no problem finding an affirmative, specific answer with barely any typing. Google is our friend. Honda-claimed, I believe was the actual question.
  14. I have a girlfriend in WA with a mole infiltration. I e-mailed a link to this thread and this is what I got back:
