Oh. That seems like it would be a lot of page flipping. I have 40 posts per page. I must have changed my settings once upon a time. 40 posts/page seems like a more relaxed forum experience. To my way of thinking anyway.

By gawd I figured out something good. :thumbsup:
 
Oh shit.

Looks like I accidentally bought light peanut butter on my last trip to the store. I hope it's okay. I always get regular.

I'm not happy. I'm afraid it's going to be wimpy peanut butter. Checking the stats, I don't really care about any of the stuff that's different. My weight is not a problem so I don't care about a few less calories and percentage points of fat. I have high cholesterol but both types show 0 mg cholesterol so no issue there.

The light peanut butter actually has more carbohydrates than the regular - 2% versus 1%. What's up with that? I don't know.

I mostly just care about the taste. I am a quality-of-life type of guy. We all make deliciousness versus health consciousness decisions all the time - and I lean towards deliciousness in this case. Even if the regular peanut butter had more cholesterol than the light, I would still go with the regular. That's how I roll.

I enjoy my peanut butter on raisin toast several mornings a week. I really enjoy it.

Well, I still have a bit left in the open jar of the regular. I'll finish that before I open the new jar. That's also how I roll.

I just hope and pray the light peanut butter is okay and not wimpy. I will report back to the forum.




The moment of truth is nigh. I have just finished the jar of regular peanut butter so next time I have peanut butter, it will be the light peanut butter.

That will probably be tomorrow. I don't always have peanut butter every day but I am so curious, it will definitely be tomorrow.

It is nigh, mutherfukkers.
 
The verdict:



This light peanut butter is sub-par. It is not so horribly bad that I'm just going to say fuck it and chuck the whole jar. But it is tangibly less good than regular peanut butter.

Damn shame. I will have to be more careful in the future.



Stay in school kids.
 
My girlfriend loves the video for that Alvin and The Chipmunks Christmas song. She made me sit and watch it with her last night - and then we watched it again. Her face lights up. She laughs.

My first reaction was, really? That old thing? That's what gets you excited?

But you know what? After seeing it a couple of times and really paying attention, it's pretty damn good.

That little bugger has a lot of spunk. He sure does want a hula hoop.


 
No matter how harsh I may be, I certainly don't like to hear things like this. Keep your head up, Daft. Things will get better if you work at them.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

Truth is, things could always be much worse but I've noticed that the first official holiday season away from my family is a bigger mountain to climb than I'd anticipated. The last two holiday seasons consisted of me being separated but now it's the real deal.

I'm pretty confident that I'll slow down on the alcohol once the new year comes along. But I'm definitely toeing the line lately.
