Ha! Ha! I generally take at least 30 and that is on a good month!

A huge area of risk is with drugs like Vicoden where each tablet has 300 mg acetominophen. Dosing guidelines allow you to take 6 or 8 of those puppies a day. Now if the patient decides to supplement with Extra Strength Tylenol (500 mg, also 8 per day) from their medicine chest, toxicity is a distinct possibility.

How do I know this? Guess who started taking a few too many after their last surgery. Fortunately, I remembered that Vicoden is a combination drug and cut that out before I did any damage.

Bacon wrapped cheese looks more elegant and provides the first flavour of bacon in the mouth.

Now, which cheese goes well with bacon?

My thoughts exactly.

And the ones that I know personally struggle with the various failed attempts at reversing the process. My observation is that they never can muster the patience required to stick with a simple regimen of eating right, counting calories, and an exercise program that gradually gets their body toned and fit.

They seem to somehow lost sight of the fact that what happened to them didn't happen overnight, and losing all that excess weight will take just about as long, done right..

Can be hard - despite efforts of friends and family - to give up a pattern of buying food, drugs, alcohol, lenses ...

Now you're confusing me. Give up a pattern of buying lenses? Why?

I'll have to think that over while having another beer with my breakfast bacon sandwich...

Nah, sod that. I'll go for a walk with my K-... err, camera instead

I note that you are avoiding coming across as nouveau riche by not insisting on naming the kind of camera. My French teacher once told one of the boys in the class that by naming the brand of car his parents had he indicated that he was nouveau riche, and that real rich families for generations would just talk of their car, and you have referred to your camera.

Yes! Yes, that's it. That's why I avoid naming the kind of camera

Now I'll just have to find out what happened to that old family fortune...

Cooking cheese on the grill is harder than one would think.

Banana boats can be tricky too, my first attempt capsized.

Just needed a little support.

Sometimes I have to wonder.

Do people actually eat those things, or are they simply created just to "one up" the other guy?
