What Kind of Diet Did You Call It?

I wish I would of thought of these sooner...


The "Life Diet":

Proper weight control cannot be attained by dieting alone; however, many people who are engaged in sedentary occupations do not realize that calories can be burned by the hundreds, by engaging in strenuous activities that do not require much (or any) physical exercise. Here's the guide to calorie-burning activities and the number of calories per hour they consume.

Beating around the bush . . . . . . . . .75
Jumping to conclusions . . . . . . . . . 100
Climbing the walls . . . . . . . . . . . 150
Swallowing your pride. . . . . . . . . .50
Passing the buck . . . . . . . . . . . .25
Pushing your luck. . . . . . . . . . . 250
Making mountains out of molehills. . . 500
Hitting the nail on the head . . . . . .50
Bending over backwards . . . . . . . . .75
Running around in circles. . . . . . . 350
Climbing the ladder of success . . . . 650

Free to Pick the Shrooms

I mentioned in a earlier post that a judge in California had lumped mushroom and Christmas tree cutting in a federal law stating that there is to be no removing of growing wildlife from National Forest land.

Well, apparently he has seen the error of his ways, and changed the law to not include hobbyists like myself and my family and commercial pickers either.

It just goes to show that when you learn all the facts, your opinion might change. It's too bad though, that he didn't learn these facts before making such a harsh ruling. I'm thankful that he changed his mind, but jeesh, what a putz.
