The Kitchen Table

OMG! How to get $1000. free!!!!

16 years ago

Sorry... had to trick you to get you to read this. lol

Copied this from my post on Joann's birthday/anniversary thread. Not sure how many people are actually reading the entire thread so they may have missed this.

I wish everybody would list their birthdays on their 'member page' and put the KT as one of their favorite forums. That way it will come up when I check the KT birthdays every day and I can start a "Happy Birthday" post for you!

Easy to do!

1. Go to Member Pages at the very bottom of the KT main page (or the main Gardenweb page).

2. Choose 'Edit Your Personal Information, Page, and Preferences'.

3. Put in your birthday.

4. Choose the KT as one of your favorite forums.

If you've did all that and don't get a birthday post it is because I forgot to check the birthdays (happens once in a great while) or because I did a search and your name doesn't come up at all (that's to weed out peeps who haven't been here for ages).

Thanks!!!! Try to keep this at the top for awhile.

glchen, that's exactly right. The plant size will be small enough to allow you to use baskets or smaller containers (like 5 gallons) to grow the plant EASILY. My personal experience says that any tomato can be grown in a container of 15 gallons or more. The smaller the container, the more often one must attend to the water needs of the plant. Ted

I dont think anyone implied that she doesnt have right to spend it how she wishes. Personally, I could never justify some of the above costs while there are those without food and shelter. Im one for pampering yourself, but thats too extreme for me, and as I said before I think shes going to that extreme to fill a void elsewhere in her life. I think shes the poster child of a lost soul with all the signs we of her crumbling relationships and so forth. I wouldnt be surprised if she pulled a Marilyn Monroe on us, though I surely hope she doesnt. I do enjoy alot of her music, though I dont agree that shes very talented in the way of singing. Not a bad actress though. -Devon

Debrak, you may want to read a bit more about vitamin D before you self medicate with a higher dose. We tend to overdo this stuff in the U.S. From the article linked below: " The US Endocrine Society guidance, for example, advises supplementation with up to 2000 IU per day, but this is overzealous, she said. "A more reasonable dose is 600 to 800 IU per day," she noted, adding that she is an author on a new guidance, soon to be published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, which will state that 2000 IU per day "is not warranted." " The uv wavelength that helps us produce vitamin D is the same that causes aging and skin cancer (with enough exposure). So limited sun exposure is the key. Right now vitamin D is the new fad--- it has replaced the megadoses of vitamins a, e and c, and other supplements that seemingly everyone has been on at one time or another. Here is a link that might be useful: Journal Article on Vitamin D from European Endocrinology Conference

Haha Flamingo... the $1000. is down at the bank. Just write a note and hand it to the teller. You might get it... but then again this guy might show up instead. lol

That's odd Nicole. Is the drop down menu there for your favorite sites? Maybe it has something to do with using HTML (for the scrolling)?

Anybody else having this issue?

The drop down boxes are there, using the arrow...but it's empty...

Maybe that's what I need, Lyd, a little visit from Officer Andy...... that would surely perk me up, huh?

Is K home yet? Did she lose weight at her camp that she was working at? I wish someone would take all the junk food away from me!

Flamingo, K has been home one day a week... has 2 weeks left to work. She lost 5 lbs. so far, but she's not that big to begin with. She was keeping the "freshman 15" off until last year when she didn't have a kitchen and had to eat the cafeteria food 3 times a day. She says everything is fried there.

Nicole - did you ever get it to work?

Oh, I never thought K. was overweight, I just wondered if the dietary restrictions at that place would have any effect on her. Did she walk in hungry every week? :)

My pantry is looking pretty slim right now, I'm waiting for Woody to go to the store, so I have my own dietary restrictions going but it's not helpling! lol

Glad my monetary enticement is getting some KTers to check their member page. lol

Mingo, K actually LOVES the food there. She says the fruit and vegetables are so fresh. They have dessert daily too. The girls get 1300 calories a day, the boys maybe 1600. She was stopping for a diet soda on her break everyday the first couple weeks cause she wanted something sweet... but she's quit that now. She was never a soda drinker.

She doesn't complain about being hungry at all... but she does complain about the lack of sleep. lol

OK, you got MY attention too!! LOL But it would be nice if I could get the $1000 too!! I got it done. I did have a little confusion on how to set the favorite, but soon realized that I needed to look under the GTS : Kitchen Table (instead of under GW) to find it.

This is one of the places that I've left my actual birthday intact ...

... but in several other situations where they've asked for birthdates, I've used my dead brother's date, but the correct year of my birth.

Birthdate is one of the major pieces of information used to identify people, so collected by scoundrels wanting to steal identities.
