BB, I'm staying the heck out of that thead, but just to clarify regarding your response.
When the word is used by scientists, a calorie is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1ml of water by 1degree celcius.
When the word is used on food packaging or regarding nutrition, a "Calorie" is actually used to mean a Kilocalorie, or the energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
Why do the purposly use the word incorrectly on food packaging? Well, as you know the whole purpose of food science is to confuse the heck out of the general public. :rolleyes:

Vote Tally has been updated to record S'more's vote:
Option 1: I'd Climb That - 2 votes
Option 2: Garfield - 10 votes
Option Trendy Hiking Boot - 2 votes (added S'more) - which is great, because hiking with One Sock may be pleasant, but hiking with One Boot, no way!
Sorry, ATM, your choice isn't getting much love :D
That's alright, whatever blows their skirts up.
Where did you go hiking?
LN state park-- people think it's just around a lake, it's gotta be flat. wrong! Lots of steep hills, gullys, up and down, constantly. and not AROUND a lake.... just near it. It's considered moderate, and by no means flat.

My left toe of my left foot was amputated this last Feb 15. I see the Surgeon this March 28th to see if I can return to a regular shoe. Doc says I will be ok to start CDT this latter part of April. I was going to start April 20th, may wait until end of April to start. I DID want to get a head start, oh well. I'll be using those Keen shoes. They're good for my feet. Whats good for my feet is good for my mind. Cuz my mind can't stand anymore abuse than my feet as my feet talk to my mind when I'm walking. So when my feet get a hurtin' then my mind gets to doubtin' and then one thing leads to another and before you know it I am stopped for the day. So, moral of the story? Make sure you take real good care of your feet. Clean 'em each day, put good socks on 'em, rest 'em, feed 'em, and put shoes on 'em that are good from the start. The brand and type are different for each of us but the effort is worth it. Happy Paddys Day, God Bless All here!

Ow, man, that must have been painful. Just curious, has he said anything about how losing the little toe can affect your balance? I read that somewhere, that they actually do serve a function in helping your maintain balance. MY little toes don't seem to be good for anything else other than stubbing on every chair leg, door post, etc. within 3 miles :(

BB, I'm staying the heck out of that thead, but just to clarify regarding your response.
When the word is used by scientists, a calorie is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1ml of water by 1degree celcius.
When the word is used on food packaging or regarding nutrition, a "Calorie" is actually used to mean a Kilocalorie, or the energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
Why do the purposly use the word incorrectly on food packaging? Well, as you know the whole purpose of food science is to confuse the heck out of the general public. :rolleyes:

Can we just call him HO? Then we can say he is half a POHO or half way to being a POHO or he is a PO short of being a POHO. Anyway you slice it, it ought to be good for at least 20 posts for me.
We can him HO...
When I see his name-hobby.. it makes me think of the Hobby Lobby store...so he would be HL.

I'll fill you in One Sock... MM is bussing it into Roanoke on April 8th. I'm going to pick him up at the bus station. He will be tired after 2 days on the bus. He will rest. Then, I will take him to any spot on the trail where he wants to start hiking South to meet up with the rest of the gang. :D
Hey mom, if something happens and you can't take care of MM, let me know and I will do what I can for him.

I like that Idea, I will run that by Overload tonite:D
I can't tell you the places on the trail where I've looked at what I was walking over, and thought, No way, no way, did a blind guy do this, dog or not!
On a video he said blind people come up to him and say they are going to do the AT since he did. He tells them please do not, unless you really feel called by God. Because it was so hard.
Welcome aboard. I have one concern though. You sound too normal.
I guess we could use a few more normal people around here to help balance things out.

Yup - Thermodynamics. ChE thermo to be more specific. (and some P-Chem) I took all they would let me take, pretty much, and still enjoy working on thermo-oriented equipment to this day (autoclaves, freeze dryers, etc.) When programming and such, I know why, not just that the equipment does something.

My left toe of my left foot was amputated this last Feb 15. I see the Surgeon this March 28th to see if I can return to a regular shoe. Doc says I will be ok to start CDT this latter part of April. I was going to start April 20th, may wait until end of April to start. I DID want to get a head start, oh well. I'll be using those Keen shoes. They're good for my feet. Whats good for my feet is good for my mind. Cuz my mind can't stand anymore abuse than my feet as my feet talk to my mind when I'm walking. So when my feet get a hurtin' then my mind gets to doubtin' and then one thing leads to another and before you know it I am stopped for the day. So, moral of the story? Make sure you take real good care of your feet. Clean 'em each day, put good socks on 'em, rest 'em, feed 'em, and put shoes on 'em that are good from the start. The brand and type are different for each of us but the effort is worth it. Happy Paddys Day, God Bless All here!
Ouch. Sorry about your toe. Hope you get it all worked out and can enjoy your hike.

Happy NCAA BBall Bracket Day. My two alma maters play each other in the first round!
But since I don't know anything about college basketball, I'm filling out my bracket based on who has the most lame mascot. In the preliminary round, the Aggies beat the Flames, the GAELS beat the Blue Raiders, the Explorers beat the Broncos, and the Dukes beat the Blackbirds. Looking ahead, there are some real lame mascots in the round of 64!
Go Duke! 20483
