Nice Phone Bill

[johnnyadmit]

EDIT


p.s. any couples spotted with either person's hand in the other person's back pocket with be doused with organic ketchup and beaten with a rubber chicken.

Is front pocket acceptable?  AdmitGF will occasionally put admit's hand in her front pocket.  Admit then knows his time spent shopping with her will soon be rewarded.

AdmitGF also attempts to influence Admit towards the organic dark side- no reward is worth eating that crap.  Besides, Admit grew up on a farm-a little atrazine or glyphosate in the system only makes a guy tougher!

Reg - Gro will Git'R'Done on the taxes today... and I have a $10 coupon to H&R Blizzle.

Ok no more tax talk... makes Gro feel old and dirty. Gro's been holding on to this one... not really a rant just an observation.

GGF has recently been all about buying organic foods. She claims that they are "better" for you.  Gro likes a few chemical additives in his foods, it makes him feel like the 6 million dollar man (na-na-na-na-na-na-na). You'd think foods that lack chemicals would be slightly cheaper than mass produced items... nope. One trip w/ GGF to the organic only food mart changed all that. The costs were rediculas. Reg, I didn't check the price of butter, I'll get back to you (and mamaGro) on that one. Personally, judging by the employes and customers in the store, I think it was a front for some kind of neo-hippie-communist movement.

LLPP, you've been warned.

Don't try organic kethcup.  It's gnarly.

Or the hot dogs... they are even worse.  There are just some things not meant to be made healthier.  Hot Dogs for one and ice cream for another come to JT's mind.

JT and future Mrs. JT frequent a place called Trader Joes which is like Whole Foods w/o the sticker shock.  It still has the hippie feel to it, but a lot of the items are quite tasty.  The frozen Mexican food is great... JT takes that for lunch.  We try stuff and find that most of it is pretty good and fairly priced.  The fat free brownie mix made with Vanilla yogurt rocks.

I always laugh when guys diss organic foods.

Did you know that the hormones they give cows to produce more milk (that shows up in the milk, cheese, ice cream, etc. itself) is estrogen based?

So basically, if any of you are particularly girly, now you know why.    

Not to mention that the estrogen in foods these days is strongly linked to a high occurance of breast cancer. So if you like the idea of girls walking around with absolutely no breasts, sure, go ahead, keep thinking that the organic stuff is evil.  

I always use organic ingredients in the cookies that I make, which are famous on the basketball side of the board. (Knightstalker can vouch for their famousness, Pat for their taste). Organic doesn't have to taste bad... there's just a difference between eating the same things you normally would without the pesticides sprayed all over them, and to eat all the other weird abnormal things in those stores.

Does this include Man Boobs???  DOH!!!

The hormones used in dairy cows is also causing many young women nowadays to (how shall Garnet put this?) umm...sprout at earlier ages too.

Garnet's advice. Do want ever makes you happy. Nothing you do while alive will change the fact that you will spend much more time in the ground than above it.

  Karma for lewdogg.... man, wouldn't I love to find a study that proves that.

Oh, I know... imagine being a seven yr old girl (it happens younger sometimes too!) having to deal with 12 yr old guys hitting on you when you still think boys have cooties. If those dads aren't good enough to buy their daughters healthy milk, I sure hope they're willing to pound a few guys faces in so that their daughters can still sort of had a childhood. 

['gro]

it's funny that Gro doesn't mind a few chemicals in his food, but thinks the country is getting carried away on the 'magic pills'. There are too many pills out there... especially for the kids.

Kids won't listen, they got a pill for that. Johnny doesn't do his homework? they got a pill for that. Johnny skinned the family cat? Oh there's 3 kinds of pill for that.

There's nothing better than meeting kids in college who were home schooled and over medicated. Those were the kids that didn't speak, sat in their rooms and played quake, and probably had a hair doll of the cute girl on the 3rd floor.

just did my taxes on turbotax.  My tax guy from last year got put on probation and is not allowed to do taxes in massachusets this year. (thats another story for another time) 

Pretty cool though.  It was good to see that when I said I bought some electronic equipment for work related purposes, my return went up $95 right in front of my eyes.  That made me scramble and look for other things I bought last year that are "work related"  Clothes, cleaners, gas.....Over all made about hundreds of dollars back from items I used.
Hopefully I did it the right way or I might be with Holladawg in '07.

Im gonna say Holladawg is in jail for dropkicking a personal trainer in the winter.  Im sure he will get out by the summer.

JU-

I though you had a decent job....from the statement made above Reg is starting to think that you are either a gas station attendant or one of the guys who stands in the bathroom of a bar who gives you soap and a towel.

RE: taxes

Well, realestate stuff aside, My taxes are complicated in terms of the amount of crap that I am alowed to deduct that are work related.  H&R block wants recipts and all that junk, Im too lazy to go in to all that stuff.  Ill look for it when the audit man comes,  by that time, my tax guy will be off probation and will be able to bail me out again, probalby only to find himself on probation for 2007!

Theres a maximum for vehicles used for work purposes, but for you office people, any office supply you buy at home should be deducted.  A $150 piece of "office" furniture turns into cash if you did it on turbo tax.

+k for gro for spelling rediculus right.

Admit grew up on a dairy farm.  Lots of thought and research went into the decision to use rBGH.  Most of the research at the time indicated that the amounts of rBGH present in the milk weren't any greater than the amounts found in milk from non-treated cows-however they neglected to report that the damage wasn't caused by the growth hormone itself, but by another hormone made by the cows.  PapaAdmit has since ceased the treatments-however admit wonders if other farmers in the same situation have been notified.  PapaAdmit had the advantage of Admit doing some digging during biochem research...

Amen Gro!  I bet 1/4 of my students have asterisks and alphabet soup next to their names- and these are supposed to be the best and brightest!  The lower you go, the more asterisks and letters you find.

JT..Mrs Grad & I frequent said establishment as well.  We have one right down the road from us..always packed...Prices are very reasonable and food is good, most everything we have tried from them as been good...

It's not just the dairy cows.  Cows raised for beef have all sorts of hormones injected as do pigs, chickens and everything else.  


On a side note, what do you call it?

1) Trader Joes is a pain in my but.

2) Now instead of begging, I actually have some medical evidence for future requests....

JU,
Garnet sent that article to his wife.  She replied, "thanks for sharing. Nice try!"

Hey, it was worth a shot.
