  1. Barbara's, Post, Kellogg's, Nature's Path, Cascadian Farms.
  2. Sorry, that was a typo, it's 115/50
  3. Millions of grown men eat cereal, because it can be good for you, IF you read the ingredients before you buy. And where do I sign? I eat cereal all times of the day.
  4. As I said, I rarely eat anything considered unhealthy, and haven't for over 50 years. A bit of chocolate (which isn't unhealthy if it's just a bite), pizza, spaghetti sauce (Which usually has a little sugar), some cereal (which has molasses and a tad of cane sugar), Rice a Roni (maybe a little high in sodium), and some canned and boxed soups. Trust me, I won't eat garbage. My blood pressure is usually 115/50, resting pulse 58 and blood sugar around 88. Can't escape genetics but I'm doing everything else right.
  5. I'm guessing you don't read much of what others post. Cereal can be healthy if you look at the ingredients before you buy it. Back when you were 12, healthy didn't enter your mind. Maybe research more?
  6. Do you ever leave the house? I see chocolate in every shop of any size, along with supermarkets , 7-11's and malls.
  7. I rarely eat candy but have a piece of good chocolate now and then. You can find some of the good ones here. I had a wine collection one time when I lived in Texas but only brought a couple cases when I moved here. They went fast.
  8. You just said the last time you ate one was 12. Do you not realize how long ago that was and that things might have changed since then, including your taste buds? Read the ingredients before you buy. The fascination is not only taste but ease of preparation. I've been eating healthy all my life, especially the last 50 years after I left my parents house and got into bodybuilding and nutrition. I won't eat garbage and a lot of the food you eat here isn't so healthy.
  9. Villa has the small shredded wheat for 255 and Tops for over 300, which is a little high. Like anoher said, most of the cereal here is aimed towards kids, highly sweetened and not what I'll buy. I brought back 8 boxes of various cereals last November from Texas but they went fast. Wish they had more here. I can order a case of some online but haven't gotten around to that yet.
  10. There are quite a few healthy breakfast cereals but you won't see them advertised on TV. I've been eating them for decades. Shredded Wheat is one that's recognized, along with Grape Nuts and Corn Flakes. Ones I get at most chain stores in the US (I bring them back when I visit) that you can't get here are Shredded Spoonfuls, Millet Rice Flakes, Heritage Flakes, Shredded Oats, a few from Barbara's, Oat Flakes, and others. I eat oatmeal with banana most every day when I'm out of the flake cereals,along with scrambled eggs, whole grain toast and sugarless jelly, which are all made with whole grains and little to no added sugar. Most are sweetened with grape juice. Granola tastes good but is usually very high in calories and sugar. I follow with 0% ice coffee sweetened with Equal or Splenda with added collagen. This is one of them,........https://www.herbspro.com/products/shredded-spoonfuls-multigrain-cereal-138437?variant=43158085075044&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7bei98yOhwMVqDCDAx1bYg0mEAQYBSABEgKYevD_BwE
  11. 3 times, but by the ex, and all for nothing besides she was pissed off at someone else.
  12. Try vinegar or peppermint oil slightly diluted. Works but only temporary
  13. Yes, it's risky, especially here where a large majority are incompetent, lazy and don't believe in road rules, drive drunk and speed a lot. One huge reason you should be using all of your senses while driving, as there are always people cutting you off here and driving recklessly, which makes it even more important to drive sober. You get hit and you're at fault here, especially if you've been drinking.
  14. I'm in my house with my daughter wasting my life away watching reruns of MASH right now as we speak. My DVD collection helps because it's about the only thing I can do living in the country with very few around that can speak English, at least until I can move back to the states. My room isn't that dark because I use one light to keep it lit.
  15. Are you not aware that complaining is the only way things are changed for the better?
  16. Funny as we write I'm watching a MASH episode where Hawkeye goes on the wagon and drives everyone nuts.
  17. Which mean absolutely nothing when you've had alcohol. You're totally missing the point and probably didn't look at the link I provided. Your senses are impaired, judgement of distances is off, and are a lot more likely to take chances. Thinking you "adjust" for this will not work. A person who's drunk isn't in their right mind and doesn't have the ability to think the same way as when they are sober. That you're going on and on justifying your actions is why more people here are thinking you're really a loose cannon.
  18. Some snitches are snitching to possibly save a life, or at the least thousands of dollars in car repairs, and can knock the crap out of anyone who tries to give them stitches.
  19. And if you have a conscience and care for others, don't drink too much and then try to operate a vehicle, because this time could be the time you run into another person, can't react when another cuts in front of you in time because your senses are dulled, or when a child runs in the street ahead of you, you can't react fast enough to avoid them.
  20. It isn't exactly the speed that kills. It's driving too fast for your skill or if you are impaired.
  21. Most people don't drive drunk. There are countless people that take Uber or use a designated driver, or sober up a little before they drive. And never an issue? Do you have any idea how many people get arrested , jailed and pay fines for driving drunk? How many are killed and maimed by drunk drivers? Over 11,000 a year just in the US................https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drunk-driving
  22. Then take some time to sober up before you drive. You don't have to close the place down drinking until then. No excuses whatsoever. Time clears the mind and body.
  23. 80% of Thai people aren't drinkers, although there are millions that do. He's simply stating if you're going to drink, as many people worldwide do, don't drive drunk. Get another person to drive. It's called a designated driver if you aren't aware of the term. Hire an Uber or whatever. People are killed most every day by drunk drivers. These are people who had too much to drink. Not necessarily bad or stupid people, just stupid actions if they drive afterwards. People who do this all the time are inconsiderate of others, thinking they can operate a 2 ton machine at 80MPH and handle it like they can sober. Fact is, many aren't competent drivers sober. The car is a machine of destruction if they are drunk driving.
  24. Quite easy, as there are many instances. This I found in 2 seconds..............https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-29/twice-convicted-dui-driver-charged-with-murder-in-crash-that-killed-14-year-old-in-newport-beach
  25. Having a conscience separates people who care from those that don't. I drove after drinking a number of times, and was lucky I didn't hurt myself or others every time. I came close to an accident or two and eventually it made me think more about what I was doing. You definitely cannot control a car even impaired by a few drinks near as effectively as sober. Drunk you're plain lucky you arrive home intact, as well as those around you. I don't give a rats ass if it's "woke, PC or whatever". It's plain stupid and dangerous. Everyone who's ever killed or maimed anyone while driving thought they were okay to drive home. There are alternatives. You can't "adjust" your driving for legal reasons while drunk. It's illegal, period. And I'm not supplying bombs to anyone, the government through the military is, although I do agree all terrorists should be exterminated.
