Introduce Yourself Here

A huge WELCOME from California Mrs. G!

[Madame Buttonfly]

Thank you all for your very warm welcomes!  I'm just trying to scheme another short skiing break with one of my sisters over Easter - trying to justify it to G by saying that I need to get more wear from my IH down jacket, it's just too warm for everyday use so I need to go to the snow…!  (Think he'll fall for it...?)

[Beatle]

He might…lol...perfect time for skiing, too..sunny glacier , I start crying thinking about it..not sure if we can fit it in this year. Watching the Olympics makes it extra tough...

If only white wine didn't contain calories, Paula!.. I'd be on a life  support of Chablis Premier Cru til the end of me days…

Welcome from Belgium!..

[Beatle]

what is it with this board and counting the calories…white wine actually helps you burn calories - you should´nt drink a whole bottle - but enjoying the good things in life makes sense.

[shoque]

maybe i didn't get your sarcasm, but why would white whine help you to burn calories?

[Beatle]

no sarcasm..just a fact…

[Beatle]

but again - depending on the amount …

[Madame Buttonfly]

Interesting article about alcohol and burning calories, I really didn't know that.  Another calorie-burning effect of white wine for me is when I become increasingly animated and end up dancing around the room!  Glug, glug….

Not everyone has your metabolism Beats. If I didn't exercise like a maniac and neurotically watch my diet…I would not be lean -- trust me on that. Your DNA has a lot to do with what you can get away with. As for wine or any type of booze -- as you know, I don't prefer it.  But I also don't need "the help" if you know what I mean...I'm rather uninhibited by default.

I don't think there's many calories in this:

@Beatle:

Yeah that's why I usually have 2.

[deadendpro]

i eat until i am full, drink diet sodas like they are going to stop making them and walk a few miles a day. works for me! 

[Lemmy_pomata]

Hello everybody!
the lazy italian checking in…

[Giles]

Not as lazy as the rest of your compratriots - I'm sure you are the first Italian to join…G

[Lemmy_pomata]

yeah cause no one seems to care about good denim in Italy, unfortunately. but I see a lot of friends on this board, good!

[hectic]

Hey Lemmy, nice to read you.

What's "pomata"?

[Lemmy_pomata]

hey man! it's my sufu account. it sounds good with lemmy doesn't it?
oh and it means something like 'ointment' if you wanna know…

[Seul]

And here I was under the impression Italians were very vain… Too bad you guys don't like good jeans.

Anyway: welcome, Lemmy!..

[Beatle]

That's why I thought you and pomato from sufu signed up as one…
