Our latest post was a recipe for slow cooker beef casserole that uses Coke as an ingredient - requested by a few of our page likers. People are FREAKING OUT about it. In a bad way.
A few years ago I had one of those recipes. I won't use it now because of HFCS.

People have forgotten the skill of "Oh, that isn't for me, I'll move along". Everything has to be a bleepin' fight. :(

Our Coke is made with cane sugar. But yeah, they've all got to weigh in. Someone even said "Asapartame casserole? No thanks!" LULZ

I'm just waiting for the "Feeding this to your kids would be child abuse" comment.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Anyway, I'm planning on poisoning my family with it tomorrow night.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Someone just commented "I can't believe you are advocating the use of Coke."

Oh good grief... another post was 9 meals under $10. Eg lentil bolognaise, pumpkin soup, chow mein. Somebody posted "Not many of these look particularly healthy......" and then at the suggestion that extra vegetables/salad could be added if desired, said "It's not the healthy side I'm worried about... It's the un appealing meals and accompanying pics. I don't think these meals are very healthy. Adding a salad or veggies makes no difference"

I actually wondered how easy a time they'd have even getting a Native actor given that a lot of Native folks have problems with Tonto as a character.
- Spidra Webster
That could be it, Spidra; but it could have also been an opportunity to improve the character.

Serious Question: Without Johnny Deep, does this movie even get made?
- Johnny

It does seem to be Johnny Depp the Movie more then anything.
- Heather
I guess anything is possible, but I really don't know about the U.S. government paying off the Triads to assassinate someone who leaked classified information. I mean, this isn't a Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal, or Tom Cruise movie. At least, not yet.
Oh, wait, they're called Academi now. Man, they're just burning through brand names.
- Victor Ganata
I'd assume more your scenario, or agents of other governments who owe us a favor. I'd also think it far more likely that he'd be embarrassed or indefinitely detained, rather than killed. Martyrs are rarely a good plan, but someone who was taking drugs or had mental health issues would be easier to dismiss.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Yeah, that sounds more like the CIA's style, to be honest. Paint him out to be a total whack job. For that reason alone, he should probably stop talking and just let the leaks speak for themselves.

This is terribly emotionally draining. I know it's nothing compared to what the walkers & support crew are going through, but I definitely didn't think it would be so hard :o/
Josh is still vomiting. I am trying to get it through his head that it's not considered "dropping out" if he's too exhausted and dehydrated to go on.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Quite frankly, I want him to go to hospital and get on IV fluids. He says he's hardly keeping anything down.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
I guess he is keeping something down, but not enough to stay properly hydrated, and certainly not enough to give him the energy he needs :o/ There's still 25km to go.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Have you tried giving him water dense fruits/veg such as watermelon or celery?
- Mo Kargas
Ohh I thought you were meeting him at checkpoints
- Mo Kargas
Beth was doing checkpoint 3 and Rachael checkpoint 5. I couldn't go, we have nobody who can take the kids for a weekend :o(
- Headless Gnad Kicker
:( Ahh well, I'm sure he'll be fine and his mates won't let his pain go on
- Mo Kargas
Know that he's safe with people who'll look after him. I know it's hard when you're not there as you can just wait for updates as and when they come. Whether he stays the course, withdraws or whatever he will be ok and safely home with you and your gorgeous kids soon. Sending all good thoughts his (and your) way.
- Heleninstitches
He messaged me just now and said he had a short nap and feels better for it.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
I told him that if he does withdraw, if anyone hassles him about it, I'll kick them in the motherfucking nuts.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Melly. I'm all over it with the St John's ambos. He's had some food (and kept it down) and I just gave him electrolyte.
- Johnny

If you think he's okay to keep going, I trust your judgement! Have you done the pinch test on him?
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Yes. We are doing the second last now (11km). We have the right to call stumps on him at any time. For his safety. If there is a hint of trouble, we'll call the patrol and have him collected.

Hope they feel better soon, JW. You put them through a real pounding, so it might take a bit before they forgive you!
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
You probably know this already, but - drink lots, elevate, and wiggle :o)

I have been but they're still swollen. I hope it's just swelling and not masking something more serious
- Johnny
Also, some slight bruising is emerging...
- Johnny
No swollen feet for me, just a few blisters on my right foot, and no feeling on the inside of my left big toe.

Hey, that's still 80-odd km better than I'd do! Hope he's being looked after now. And extra special good thoughts going to the rest of the team...
- Heleninstitches
There is not much worse than vomiting. I wish my experience were less recent, but I definitely feel for Josh. Blergh.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique

From what I can piece together, he was vomiting on and off for a good 12 hours at least.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
Poor Josh..Sending him get well soon wishes.

82km. 47km with illness. THAT, my friends, is courage
- Johnny

Whoa. Seriously, he's incredible! Most of us probably couldn't push on with that happening. He may not have crossed the finish line, but he's still a champion.

This is just a wave-handed, non-scientific and tongue-in-cheek post but I am reminded by people on G+ that Apple Fanbois are in equal number to Android Fanboys... Then you look at the What's Hot tab and that argument falls on it's ass
More Android fanbois on a Google service? Noooo, really??
- Mo Kargas
It's not that there is more on G+, it's the insistence there isn't. Own it, I say :)
- Johnny
from iPhone
Johnny, anybody insisting there is not... is wrong. That said, it's also possible that What's Hot is tailored to your interests, based on what you're interacting with, sir. :)

Does Snowden and the details of his life and his background matter all that much? Much more than the information he released? What's up with that, MSM?
They're working out if he is a hero or an opportunist. They're getting the narrative sorted cause the general pop seems not to be marching in the streets about it so it becomes more human interest

On one hand, the utter contempt for the intelligence of the average American is breathtaking. On the other hand, I guess they know exactly who they're trying to manipulate.
- Victor Ganata
There's also been a general reluctance among the press corps to risk their WH access, and they were all scooped by a foreign paper.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I think it's more to do with Wikileaks. Wikileaks (basically Julian Assange) promised to shake the world to it's core but only produced mild gossip. The MSM got burnt on that

..... aaaand already had a message from a "friend" on Facebook pointing out that I am indeed no "runner". I am also now no longer their "friend". If I call it in my Facebook post, I don't need anyone reinforcing it. (Plus I didn't write the article). It may be bucketing down outside but this parade has blue skies!

There are certainly various ways to react to the existence of PRISM, but I think being surprised is really hard to justify. Where have you been the last 12 years?
It's especially hard to believe when a Senator claims they had no idea. Especially if that Senator is on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs committee. Really? You didn't know?
- Victor Ganata
Actually, might not be that surprised at that given what Michael Moore exposed in Fahrenheit 9/11 about most people not reading the Patriot Act before it passed

They didn't need to read it. People wanted blood in those days. They wanted to get the bad guys by any means necessary. It's just buyer's remorse now, I guess.

Obama says it's legal, partially because it's well supervised by Congress. Congress says it didn't know. Wha???
- Brian Johns
There's no way they didn't know. These people are either lying or incredibly stupid but probably both.

But on a serious note, the fact that the creator of product is acknowledging that there is a time and a place for Glass (and a time NOT for it) gives me at least some hope.
