That's a too bad, Fruktkake, too bad ...

 

 

How do you guys feel about canned tuna? Personally I eat a few cans everyday.

Im not so clad in tuna, like, just eating it from a can, but I like it in salads, tuna salad. Tuna salad on a piece of white bread, really tasty!

[Fruktkake]

Oh by the way I used to fish a lot, and once I went to Fauske on a holiday and we went on the first tourist fishing boat which was way before summer. I went on boats with my fathers friend and my father, and I used to go down to the mole and fish with my friend, for crabs and whatever we could catch. But I did not eat fish! I remember the first time I touched a fish, a raw fish. I remember my friend looked at me, then looked another way, then looked back realising what I had done. I have yet to disembowel a fish, it looks disgusting imo. And I have a fear of crabs like women have a fear of rats (I wouldn't mind a rat pet).

 

Edit: Oh, well about the tuna. I've fed tuna to my cats in the past years so I wouldn't feel comfortable eating something my cat loves.

 

But I am going to bed. I have a bad day at school tomorrow. Exam preparations, and doing nothing at a failed movie making group (I feel so frustrated being in it) and going to Coop for work.

Well, sorry to hear that man, but what can you do...

I can avoid eating fish. :]

 

I agree with you in one way, Kjekssjokolade. But it is also in the human nature to do so I think - we're all children deep down inside. Like I said, my body can't take the smell of fish, which makes it pretty hard to eat. Not because it smells bad when prepared, but in my unconciousness I can feel that smell creeping up my nose anyways. Trauma from the childhood fishing trips I guess :]

One time I fished for sharks. That must be the weirdest disembowelment of a fish I have ever done, and the way stuff were put together inside it, did not look like ordinary cod or pollock insides

Well, if you really try to think about it, there should be a more concrete reason as to why you can't stand the smell of fish, I mean seriously, it doesn't smell that bad, does it?

 

With that said, this conversation and subject matter, has to be one of the least important discussed in this thread in a while

 

In any case, good luck to you Anathema, and may God be with you, if you believe in that sort of nonsense (god, superman, batman, spider-man and other fictional characters I mean), hopefully you'll acquire the taste for fish some time down the road.

 

(Also, I wasn't trying to step on any toes when I said that God is just as unlikely as a fictional character such as batman or similar, It's just the way I see it.)

Well, belive it or not but to me it actually does. It is by far the most disgusting smell I can imagine. Beats vomit for example, says something about the extent of it, eh?

Probably so. :]

God is with me, I am my own God - why thank you

Indeed.

I can respect that

Sure, you can always mix it up a bit.

Canned tuna ain't actually all that bad! I don't eat it every day, but now and then...it also works as a supplement with other food.

True, and it's extremely high on protein, so it's great if you work out a lot.

Hellweek at school.

 

Mid-term in French today, mid-term in social studies tomorrow, and three different hand-ins on Tuesday

 

Luckily for my own part I got the option of writing at a computer, with an electronic dictionary and guess what? The internet wasn't disabled, as it should've been, so free translation all the way

[Lidskjalv]

Hellweek at work.

 

Too many assignments, too few employees. I have been working 12 hours days for three days now. Staring to sleep and think work now. Near 200 hours monthly.

 

Luckily a new employee start working monday. Hopefully able to reduce my workload as soon as possible.

Greetings!

 

Just found this thread, wasn't aware of it's existence. Would be nice to communicate in English every now and then, just to "maintain" my general English skills

Well... welcome Stikko.

 

Granted the thread isn't updated very often, it's still nice to have around.

[The Stig]

Thank you.

 

Is there any ongoing topic that's being discussed?

[Stian89]

Well, canned tuna, and fish in general was up for debate here the other day, however that subject kind of lost its peak.

 

So basically, anything is up for the taking, but with that in mind, I really can't think of anything as interesting as tuna in a can at the moment

[Fruktkake]

How about feeding the world? Tonight, and yesterday I had salad instead of steak. It was surprisingly good. It's a 'Mexican salat' that they sell at Rema 1000. You mix the salad with some cheese, nacho and dressing (ifølge Clue heter det dressing på engelsk). It's delicious. It feels you only are eating the nacho, yet you are stuffing salad in you.

[Stian89]

Good for you, some salad won't kill you!

 

Personally, I've been on a healthy streak for the past year or so (since I started working out). I eat healthy everyday, seven days a week, approx. 6-7 meals a day.

 

Once you start cutting the soda, junk food, candy and other crap, you start feeling better about yourself. It's really hard the first few weeks/months, but when you haven't had a mcdonalds meal for so long, the craving for it really disappears.

[Fruktkake]

We don't have McDonalds up here. We only have two-three snack bars, where they sell big and expensive burgers. However I usually have two bags of crisp, and a few diet 1.5L bottles per weekend and at the same time play a lot of World of Warcraft. But today at least I limited it to the sameller bags, Potet Sticks and Snack Chips.

 

And I heard about this guy that went on all sorts of diet, didn't loose a pound. Then he gave up and started eating bacon and such, then he lost a lot of weight. Aparently his body thought it was a lack of food, and thus kept the fat in him since the urban human had to eat plants. The human body is intended for flesh, and plants in emergensy afaik.

 

Heh, look at this. From 395 NOK to 20 NOK, it is sad to see how they try to sell something at a full price then drop it completely. Do it slowly, dammit. Now I want to buy 20 useless coolers for just having them or something.

Absolutely agree, you should eat meat!

 

Vegetables does however contain a lot of important stuff the body needs, and should be looked upon as a part of an everyday diet.

 

My goal, what with working out and all, is however to gain weight. I felt I was too skinny, weighing in on 60kg. Today, I'm 83kg, but still working my way up.

 

edit

 

Maybe they just made a typo, and what they really meant was 200,00?

Actually thats not true. Most types of meat is actually bad for you. It screws up your intestines and your digestive system.

That sound like an urban legend if you ask me. It basically just doesn't make sense. Basically how much weight you gain/loose is the sum of how much you eat minus how much energy you use. So this would only work if the guy sat on his ass all day when he was on his diets, and worked out like crazy when he ate all sorts of junk.
