Mind you, I can hardly talk considering the amount of books I've bought recently! :D

Hi all. Not dead. Realised I forgot to tell you all that I'm on holidays for 10 days. Coast trip with Lexx's family for nieces wedding, mother in law's 70th, brother in law's 50th and my birthday. 35 of us across 4 houses. Not much down time although all the kids have gone to the next town for a movie as it's raining today so books are coming out! Will check in when I can.

[Tasha]

Have fun, Rusalka!

[Lisa]

Have a great time, Rusalka!

[Peggy]

I was already wondering where you were Rusalka. Have fun!

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Yeah I realised today I forgot to check-in. Work was crazy before I left so I forgot a few things.
Halfway now on Wed and back on Monday. Aim is to finish current book and finish Nov read. So far failing

[Rusalka, Moderator]

But food, drink and company has been fantastic!

[Travis]

I hearf yesterday that there is a fast food place in Australia where if you get an actual size tattoo of any burger they sell on your body in a visible place ypu get free food there for life no exemptions. Everyday if you want. So far 2 people have done it. Might this have been you Rusalka. You haven't done your survey saying if you have a burger tat

[Peggy]

Haha Travis :D

Your story reminds of a fast food restaurant in the US I once read about, where people who are morbidly obese can eat for free. Not sure if it still operates that way.

[Peggy]

OMG, they have a burger of almost 10.000 calories :|

edit: that was old news, they now have one of 20.000

Wow, that's awesome, Peggy! Is this the first one you've had published? I'd like to see it also. Must be an amazing feeling!

Aw that sounds like fun! Enjoy!

No, it's not the first, but it still feels like a bit of an achievement when something gets accepted :) This is my first review though (my other publications are studies I did in the lab) and also the first one that is published in a journal that is freely available to everyone (other journals charge $30 or so to read 1 article).

Oh, no doubt, to have anything published would be an incredible feeling, no matter how often it happens. Sounds like this one will reach a wide audience and definitely a relevant topic, so that makes it even more cool. Congratulations!

OMG! what do you put in a burger to be so high in calories?!?!?

[Lisa]

Sandra wrote: "OMG! what do you put in a burger to be so high in calories?!?!?"

That's my thought too! I'm guessing a load of artificial stuff that we probably shouldn't be eating!

[Peggy]

Apparently 8 patties weighing 4 pounds in total, 40 slices of bacon, and lots of cheese. It's a foot and a half tall. And the nurse (waitresses are all dressed up as nurses - the restaurant has a hospital theme, the burger is called the Octuple Bypass Burger) gets to spank you if you don't finish. It's all so weird.

[Kristie, Moderator]

That's disgusting and weird too. I can't believe anyone could eat that much. Yuck.

[Peggy]

I know Kristie. And it's so wrong that all the food is free to people who weigh over 350lbs (is that 160 kilos?). And you're not allowed to share the burgers.

[Kristie, Moderator]

They should have some real doctor's on staff. It really does sound like heart attack waiting to happen. It's sad that people would put their bodies through that.

[Peggy]

I read a guy died from a heart attack on his way out from the restaurant. He ate there every day, and his ashes are kept on a shelf in the restaurant. It just gets weirder and weirder.

[Sarah]

Have a great time Rusalka.

I don't eat burgers or meat for that matter but just thinking about and seeing the sheer amount of food in those meals makes me feel sick. How can anyone think that's a good thing to do for your body.

[Sandra, Moderator]

OMG. That's so sick.

[Lisa]

That is pretty disgusting! The hospital theme sounds a bit weird too!

[Janice, Moderator]

Have a fun holiday, Rusalka. The survey will be waiting for you when you return and you can reveal whether or not you have a burger tat.

I was going to say that people will do anything for a free tat (love the show Ink Master), but I think we can extend that to include people who will do anything for a free burger.

I occasionally will crave a burger, but I like a good homemade burger, not the fast food ones.

[Lisa]

I do eat the occasional burger but it's never a fast food one. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I ate something from a fast food place.

[Peggy]

Same here. We make them at home every now and then. I think I end up in a fast food place maybe once a year, and when we do I have something other than a burger.

[Janice, Moderator]

By the end of our week in Mexico, I was really wanting a burger. The buffet did offer burgers, wieners, and fries so I trotted right over there on our last meal, only to find they had swapped out the burgers for cutlets. Oh well, the fries tasted good.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Oh, that's terrible and creepy too.

I hardly ever eat fast food. I always feel a bit yucky after eating it.

[Tasha]

That has got to be one of the weirdest things I've ever heard...and creepiest...ugh

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Googling where I can get a free burger now!

[Joan]

Introduced the grandkids to clamming today & harvested some delicious oysters

[Mariab]

Have fun Rusalka!

I don't buy the story with the heart attack (I do believe you, I just don't believe THEM; it sounds like publicity -morbid, but publicity none the less)

Yum... I love seafood... to bad I live in a non coast land... :... (

[Sarah]

Still no working engine :-( i think it might be a slow process trying to get ork out what's wrong. We're ready placing the fuel filters and hope that does the trick. We're off to Amsterdam this weekend so it's not looking like we'll be up and running before then. Luckily we've been able to borrow our friends generator (as ours doesn't want to work either) so we can charge our bwttaeries and have some power at least. We're lucky that we only just moved so we have just short of 2 weeks to get it done so we can move again. And failing that, our friend of ill have to tow us. Hmm. Could do withoit this.

[Travis]

You try swearing at it good and well enough to make a sailor blush and kick it? Hmmm. Got no other suggestions that isually works

[Peggy]

Lol, that's also my way of dealing with things that don't work.

Hope you can get it fixed, and have fun in Amsterdam!

[Peggy]

I accidentally made 4.5 litres of pumpkin-parsnip soup last Sunday. I'm now having lunch with -again- the same soup. Luckily it tastes good!

[Sarah]

Pretty sure my partner has Travis but I might give it a later as well. If that doesn't work I might plead instead.

[Lisa]

to everyone celebrating today! Have a good one!

Can't you freeze it, Peggy? I usually double my recipe of pumpkin soup and freeze half of it for when I'm too lazy to do more.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Sarah wrote: "Still no working engine :-( "

I hope it is solved soon, Sarah. I can see how annoying this is.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Thank you, Lisa! And Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating!

I did that :) I could never finish it before it spoils. But we have only a small freezer which is already quite full, so I try to get some of the soup out of the freezer again ;)

[Sandra, Moderator]

Oh, I see. :D Good luck at not turning orange!

[Janice, Moderator]

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating.

I hope you get things sorted, Sarah. Enjoy Amsterdam.

[Stephanie]

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! I have been MIA lately! Hope everyone has been well!

[[deleted user]]

Sending Happy Thanksgiving wishes to everyone.

Finally sitting down to watch a few moments of football in between cooking. After reading the posts about the 20,000 calorie hamburger, I am not feeling too guilty about dinner, as we tried to keep things healthy. Well, with the exception of Costco pumpkin pie and whipping cream. : )

So glad to hear that your mom's ok.

Happy holidays!
