    Cheap filling meal with protein, fiber, and carbs

    I pretty much lived on refried beans for Lent one year. It seemed like that was all I was eating. I added cheese and hot sauce to a bowl of refried beans and went to town. Now that stuff was good.

    Jeff Dunham

    I saw him live a couple weeks ago. By far, Walter is my favorite.

    Car dealers: a rant:

    Very true. When I was younger, I was looking into trading in my truck for a newer model. I'd already had transmission problems once, wasn't looking forward to a repeat performance. So I asked my parents to go with me to see what a dealer had. As soon as we were spotted, they went straight to my...

    Know anyone on here IRL?

    From here, no. However, I did meet someone from the Singles forum a couple months ago, when I went dancing in SLO.

    Max Payne 3

    I played them both, and I still own them. The game looks a lot better than the trailers show, and he's still as horribly messed up as he has been since the beginning of the first game.

    The Losing Weight Thread (2)

    Since it's been about a month and a half since my last update, I figure now is a good time as any to write another one. I'm currently 250.5, which is down a few more pounds. I've noticed that I've been eating healthier, but I'm not as down on myself when I slip up, so it doesn't get worse in...

    Boy asks for glass of water at his own wake

    Would that be the good Mr. Finnegan?

    Ask me anything... except that!

    My username seems to be the most asked question of me this week. It means absolutely nothing. Several years ago, I was going to start playing an online game with a friend. He told me I had to pick a name, and couldn't think of anything. I slammed my hands down on the keyboard, and that's what...

    How are your finances?

    Well, folks. I just came on and saw this thread after filing for unemployment. My stint as a substitute teacher is up for the season, as graduation is tonight. Luckily, my only real bills are my student loans, so I was able to save up some money for the future as well. However, I don't know if...

    General Gaming Thread

    You're not the only one. Unfortunately, I don't have Mass Effect 3. Never played the series. :sorry:

    Well... I don't want to ruin anything. Although, they did continue the story quite nicely. I think I need to go back and play the first one, so I can recall some references better. The multiplayer option is quite nice, reminds me of Half-Life's gameplay. A friend of mine bought the Move. I set...

    Myers-Briggs personality types

    INFP seems to come up for me every time. I've had to do that in a couple classes as well, with the same result.

    General Gaming Thread

    Any games you guys currently playing? I've been playing Max Payne 3, and I must say that it's better than I expected. Then again, for having to wait so many years since they announced production on it, it better have been good. Any games you guys can't wait for? I'm not big on anticipating...

    Video: You might be a Catholic if...

    It was made by CatholicMatch. A friend of mine that's on the site linked me to it a couple days ago. I got some good laughs out of it... until I realized a couple of them were describing me. :D

    Link: 'The Demise of Guys': How video games and inappropriate content are ruining a generation

    You know, the first thing I read was the editor's note about "world-renowned" Dr. Zimbardo. That's where I stopped, because I realized why he's so famous. It is indeed for the Stanford Prison Experiment... which is taught in psychological ethics classes. He's a cause of why we have ethics...

    On a diet

    Okay, I'm confused. This last week, I haven't eaten well at all. I've snacked all the time, I ate nothing but junk food, and the only exercise I got was last Tuesday and Wednesday when I went dancing, and I didn't feel like I did enough when I was there. Before I explain my confusion, I would...

    payday loans

    You know, sometimes people go to my dad's work and say they haven't seen a place like it before, in some of their business practices. For example, he (or mom) will bake a cake every time one of the employees has a birthday, and they'll have birthday cake with lunch. Sometimes they'll make meals...

    what are you watching right now?

    Glee, to see if there were any good songs in the last five weeks I missed.

    On a diet

    I've been seriously slacking lately. As a result, my weight has been fluctuating, but there's no real loss on my part lately. This is fair week, and there seems to be nothing but junk there. Next week should be better. A question, though. Does anyone else have trouble with exercise when it gets...

    God Doesn't Care What You Wear to Church, But Neighbors Do

    I have been known to wear my leathers to Mass, usually with a polo or button-up shirt underneath my vest. I don't really see anything out of place, since it is a safety concern when going to and from church. But I don't wear my helmet during Mass, it sits in the pew beside me. :P
