Something along the lines of him needing to address the public via TV because he has no other way to reach them. 🙄🙄🙄 And then—get this—he actually called out Dražen Petrović and the sports networks for some negative article about his height. 🙄 What a total narcissist! Honestly, we’re playing completely headless here—no plan, no structure, nothing. Even the most casual observer can see we have zero tactics or organization. Thank God the Norwegians were even worse than us, otherwise we would've been toast.
Alright, experts—now that we've finally added John to the mix, what kind of combinations are we looking at next? 😁 What can we afford to lose while still keeping our ticket to the semifinals? 😬
Sadly, I missed today's game entirely. 😢 Was there any kind of replay available?
Terry Gray60 said:Living off these recipes sounds exhausting.😁 This is fine for breakfast, sure, but who actually has the time to cook all that in the morning? My suggestion: just snack on some carrots. Or have some carrot juice.
As for lunch and dinner, maybe talk to some vegetarians.
But let's be real, these aren't even full-blown recipes—they're just clever little ideas for sneaking more veggies into your daily meals. Plus, an omelet takes maybe five to ten minutes tops. Most of the time, you're just waiting on the kettle to boil anyway! 😁
So, let's hear it: veggies with every single meal...
For breakfast, how about a spinach omelet—or maybe toss some leeks in there too? And if you're making a sandwich, you could always slice up some tomatoes or bell pepper strips to add a little crunch.
For lunch: just some good old-fashioned steamed vegetables.
And for dinner? Same thing!
Personally, I usually grab a yogurt for a snack—it's easy—but hey, if you're really craving a salad, go right ahead and indulge! 🙂
Larry Lewis2 said:Just a quick heads-up for anyone listening: raw fruit might not be the best move if you're dealing with a sensitive stomach. Just my two cents.🙂
Well, let’s be honest—there is always that certain type of person out there... you know the ones—who just refuses to let anyone else see their true self, or heaven forbid, show a little vulnerability! It’s like they’re guarding some top-secret government file at the CIA—completely locked down, no access granted, nothing! They hold everything so tight to their chest—metaphorically speaking, of course—and just won't let the guard down. It really is quite something to witness! 😍
bluedriver2 said:I don't think people realize just how much produce you can actually cram into your daily diet—if you ease into it slowly to avoid all that bloating and digestive drama—to actually hit some kind of nutritional balance.
So, here's how you can sneak more greens into your day: 1. breakfast 2. snacks 3. lunch 4. afternoon bites 5. dinner
I mean, sure—you could just plop them on a plate and eat them plain—but where is the flair? Where is the culinary adventure? 🤷
Scientists are out here claiming that the cholesterol found in eggs doesn't actually trigger your body to crank up its own internal production—which, if you think about it, is a pretty wild biological loophole! Of course, there’s always that small subset of people for whom eggs just don't sit right—you know, those folks whose systems react differently to everything. Some health gurus insist you shouldn't touch more than four eggs a week—it's like they're treating breakfast like a high-stakes gamble! If you're one of those cautious types who doesn't want to play any games with your health, you might just want to stick to the egg whites more often.
—well, let’s just say they are plenty long enough. (I mean, if things don't quite line up with my profession or... well, my current circumstances... I suppose I can manage to roll with the punches.)
Michael Ramos3 said:Why haven't some of the forum members who act like they "run the show" and know everything reacted WITH TOTAL URGENCY regarding the use of ivy? Will someone please tell me if ivy isn't poisonous?
Now, look—standard common ivy (Hedera helix) isn't actually toxic, but poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans)—which, as the name implies, most certainly is—is a whole different story. We are talking about two completely distinct species here!
coppergardener said:It’s like—how on earth is anything supposed to actually steep if I just toss it into cold water? I absolutely loathe these kinds of infusions—especially things like oak bark where you have to simmer it for a full fifteen minutes... honestly, it's such a chore...
🙄You put the tea in the cold water first, then bring it up to a boil on the stove, and once it hits that point, you let it simmer for one more minute (while keeping a very close eye on it so it doesn't boil over, obviously).
Did it never occur to you—just a passing thought, perhaps—that certain compounds actually need time to extract themselves from the plant material? Otherwise, we might as well just chew on the weeds instead...
Mark Fox44 said:So, I’m asking Chris Morgan67 and everyone else who tends to lose their cool—just hang on a second! Let’s wait and see if the results from Michael Ramos3’s father actually pan out. If it turns out he hasn't helped anyone here, then—and only then—can we all jump in and give him a piece of our minds!
But why would we even attack him? 😕 Look, the guy genuinely believes he’s found a way to cure psoriasis and he's trying to sell it. That’s his right—just like it's the right of anyone dealing with this condition to decide whether to buy a treatment or not, or to voice their own opinion on the matter.
If they aren't dropping at least a million on every single player—plus throwing in a Mercedes-Benz, let's not forget—along with some massive estate sitting right on a private beach, then honestly, they aren't even worth a mention. ☕
🤣 🤣 🤣 this whole football scene is starting to feel just like a chaotic chicken coop...
Chris Morgan67 said:So, I was just browsing through The Psoriasis Foundation website...
Apparently, about 10% of the population carries the gene for psoriasis, but it actually manifests in only about 2-3% of people.
A doctor I spoke with over in Germany once mentioned to me that roughly 10% of the European population deals with psoriasis... Supposedly, it shows up in every fourth generation!
Generally speaking, I have to agree—places like this are absolute magnets for profit-seekers... And let’s be honest, their only real motive isn't to actually help anyone; it's to hook new customers and squeeze out more cash (with zero guarantee of a cure, since they aren't actually treating anything—they're just selling snake oil).
However, if we decide to label everyone who mentions a specific product, an ointment, or some therapy that worked for them as a total scoundrel coming in to dump lies on us and steal our money... then this whole "Psoriasis Victim Corner" section of the forum—though I personally find the title far too pessimistic—might as well just be shut down entirely.
I truly hope this wasn't aimed at me. 🙂
I certainly didn't intend to accuse anyone. Again, I’ll say it: I am genuinely sorry that people end up feeling disappointed. Living with psoriasis is incredibly difficult—my sister deals with it, and I practically grew up watching her struggle through endless trials and errors—and I know deep down that a person in pain will try anything, even rubbing tar on themselves, if there's even a glimmer of hope that it might work. Unfortunately, very little actually does. That is a hard reality you just have to come to terms with.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, about a couple of months back, I attended a lecture by an aromatherapy expert. This gentleman actually studied pharmacy and holds a doctorate in a related field (he's a true professional in the industry). During the talk, he brought up a regimen involving burdock root tea, claiming it's excellent for detoxifying both the liver and the skin. I’ve seen people mentioning on Reddit that they’ve tried it, though apparently, it tastes pretty awful (just a fair warning!). But hey, to each their own.
silentheron25 said:Always gotta be skeptical about everything—it's just how I am! Honestly, though, I have no clue which of those newly registered accounts you're even hinting at.
If you had been hanging around this forum as long as I have, you’d realize it happens all the time—people popping up out of nowhere claiming they have some kind of miracle cure. They just sign up with a bunch of different handles and peddle the same old stuff, or sometimes you see people praising them who are actually in on the same racket. It's not that I'm looking for a conspiracy, per se—I'm just a bit of a skeptic by nature.
I mean, Lord God, wouldn't it be wonderful if someone actually found a real cure for psoriasis? But the thing is, people spend years and years trying every single "fix" under the sun, and nothing ever works. Psoriasis is incurable—at least as far as we know—so to me, any claim of a total cure sounds like a miracle. I totally get why someone who is suffering would want to try absolutely everything, but my heart just breaks when people end up disappointed. That’s really all there is to it.
I would be absolutely thrilled if everything Michael Ramos3 is saying turns out to be the honest truth.
BUT—and this is a big "but"—it really rubs me the wrong way to see this massive wave of newly registered members all showing up at once, acting completely starstruck and claiming they’re all about to try this miraculous ointment. It feels like a bit of an unusual coincidence... if you’re even the type of person who believes in coincidences. Don't you think it's possible someone might have already bought up the formula just to make a quick buck off some "natural remedy"?
quietstag49 said:That sounds amazing 😬! I’m dying to drop about ten pounds, boost my energy levels, and—most importantly—finally eat chocolate without feeling like a total failure afterward. Could you point me in the right direction regarding the Zone diet? I've heard they have some guidebooks out there; any specific recommendations?
Well, Dr. Vanja Grbac Gredelj actually authored two books—one titled Employed at Zone and another called the American Cookbook in the Zone. They were roughly $23 each back then (though I suspect the price hasn't budged much since!). You can pick them up at Algorithm.
restlessmarlin6 said:Please, please—just don't try to link this back to those discussions over at the women's corner.
Why does everyone insist on treating the Zone like some sort of "diet" for weight loss?
Well, it’s simply because the total calorie count you get from eating within the Zone parameters falls into that "dietary" range—even though, honestly, you end up eating quite a lot of food! As far as health goes, I can't really offer much expert advice since I was already feeling pretty great when I first decided to switch to the Zone, and I still feel wonderful today. Since making the change, I've had much more energy—I actually dropped maybe 10 or 11 pounds right at the start (that was about 3 or 4 years ago now)—and best of all, I can enjoy a piece of chocolate without feeling an ounce of guilt. 😬
Gregory Mendoza3, look—psoriasis is a chronic condition. It’s just one of those things you have to come to terms with. What you *can* actually control is your diet, keeping those stress levels from hitting the roof, and maybe experimenting with some "internal" support. I think I mentioned "natural" approaches earlier in this thread—it's all about that holistic vibe. Now, I really don't want to sound like I'm running an ad campaign here—since we aren't supposed to do that—but I did hear during a seminar once that borage oil and burdock root tea can be quite helpful.
Chris Morgan67 said:Oh, honey,😘 does anyone close to you deal with psoriasis? How are they holding up?
My sister. She’s hanging in there... though it feels like she's being buried alive by it. Her spine has taken a massive hit too—she's popping handfuls of pills just to get through the day... By some absolute miracle, her bloodwork is 👍 and she tries her best to eat healthy or stay active.
I actually had a patch on my elbow about three years ago—way too much stress back then—but it cleared right up. For her, though, it's flared up all over her body.
I don't think Michael Ramos3 was trying to promote himself, but I definitely think he mixed up religion with medicine.
Look, I’m a believer—really, I am—and I truly believe in miracles and divine healing. But what are we supposed to do with the skeptics? How do you heal them? Not everyone finds strength in prayer.
