OK, so I buy a lot of spinach, and I have a couple of questions.

Most of the spinach I see in stores these days is identified as BABY spinach.

(a) How can you tell baby spinach from, say, teenager spinach, adult spinach, or even geriatric spinach?

(b) Is there a difference in nutritional content between the various ages of spinach? Am I getting shortchanged by buying the infant variety as compared to the geezer versions of spinach?

Been a while, man. Hope you're doing well.

a.) Baby spinach is the immature leaves of the same plant. It is more consumed raw than cooked unlike regular spinach which is consumed cook because it is so bitter. Baby spinach will be just leaves. Almost no stems and such. Regular spinach will be more like kale or chard.
b.) It depends on what you will use it for. If it's a raw application, baby is better. If you are cooking it, go for the regular. Both have similar nutritional content as far as I know.

Why does it take so long for some people to get over jet lag and others get over it quickly?

Why does it take so long for some people to get over jet lag and others get over it quickly?

Based on the distance and where they traveled as well as how long they were there. It's purely psychological.

Why is it a woman's sex drive increases at 30 when a man is at his peak at 18?

Why is it a woman's sex drive increases at 30 when a man is at his peak at 18?

Funny answer: God's a woman and wants men to suffer.

Better answer: Think of a man and woman's place in reproduction. When a man is young he is most virile has the most energy etc. It's one reason his peak is so young. As he gets older the energy level goes down and he can't do as much. His sperm may be still active but his ability to keep up isn't
A woman gets closer to her reproductive end towards the 40's. The body wants to express itself and have babies so it revs up at that time. Women need more energy at this time for motherly duties so they have to have more energy.

Just my opinion.

Hello Azul. I just happened upon this thread. It's fascinating the way your mind works and the responses you've given. My question is simple: How do I become a playgrounder? Thanks...

The term is granted to anyone that hangs on the threads here. But there's a thread called Playgrounder and Proud of it where there's numbers given to identify you as an Official Playgrounder.

You may want to check it out. *hugs*

Hi

Your "mythical" or "gothic" advice is needed about a thread I opened for a new member of LIT who seems to have upset a few people on LIT. However, since I helped him settle in and shall we say behave more sociable towards other members he has started his RP. I joined him in explaining one of his character creations, getting the gist of the story.

Please feel free to check it out and let me know your thoughts

Sounds like that first post on page 5 should have been the first post. I'm hoping he's okay.

The truth is I know that you are strong enough to handle crap and that anyone who gives you any will be dealt with.

Hopefully the people who are into that lifestyle will see what his goals are and join in.

So, why do I procrastinate when I have too much to do and not enough time to do it? Doesn't procrastinating at that point just make the problem worse?

It does....but it indicates the project isn't as interesting to you. Try breaking it up in easier chunks to accomplish or give yourself little motivational awards while you try to finish.

I wasn't sure if that kind of literature would be welcomed in the Playground. I know the member personally. In real life he is quite "sane" shall we say. But, I have realised that he is well into his culture in a "fantasy" way. Thank you again for your advice Azul.

Bless you my love

Earlier, it was packing to go on vacation, and now finishing up my work so I can leave for vacation.

Maybe it just isn't Playground material....He has the best of intentions. I think he's protective...just maybe too intense and too much into his culture.
Meanwhile...take care of you...okay?
