ACF Facebook Page

John, I signed up for Facebook, but then I deactivated my account. I wrote to them the reason:

For games, chess has a nice picture, but checkers has a non descript picture of cards, not good, please change. Checkers deserves a picture of checkers!

Let's see if they respond, if they don't I won't be back. --George Hay

John, thank you for spreading the word about checkers, my problem is with the menu of signing up for Facebook. The path is SIGN IN> EMAIL/PASSWORD>EDIT PROFILE>ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT>GAMES. Then after typing just a "C" a list of games appears with CHESS being the first game with a nice picture, many other games have nice pictures also. But continuing typing "C-H-E-C" finally CHECKERS appears with a generic picture of cards. I don't mind typing in a full "C-H-E-C-K-E-R-S" but a picture is worth a thousand words! --George Hay

John, thank you for your help, I did sign on long enough to hit the "like" button for the ACF page, and then I deactivated again giving this reason to Facebook:

The Community Checkers page has a picture of a generic card game, while it should have a picture of a checkers game, as the Community Chess page has a picture of a chess game.

I hope they have a positive response. --George Hay

Checkers Drive-In Restaurants rescued the checkers community page (generic interest page) from an undignified obscurity. Good for them, and good food!

Hi Danny,

I am also thinking about becoming a vegetarian. I have already cut out beef and pork, which includes those Five Guys hamburgers I so dearly love. On occasion, I do have a serving of skinless chicken or fish, usually some sort of wild Pacific salmon. In fact, I just had some for lunch.

I don't know much about cooking. Therefore, I have found myself trying out some vegetarian foods at local restaurants at local groceries.

If I do become a vegetarian, I want to make sure I do it right and not deprive myself of any essential vitamins and minerals. I want to make sure I eat a "complete protein" with any vegetarian meal I try.

I am guessing you are an experienced vegetarian. What do you think of the following in regard to their nutritional value, both of which I have tried so far, and which I have enjoyed:

1) At a local Chinese restaurant, there is a "health" menu which includes entrees of pure steamed broccoli and steamed tofu. I usually buy one of each. When I take it home, I usually throw away the white rice and prepare brown rice instead. Then I mix it all together. This combination usually lasts me three meals.

2) At a local groccery store, there is a salad bar, which includes shelled edamame beans in olive oil, artichoke hearts, shredded carrots, and baby leaf spinach. I got a small container of this the other day, containng a little bit of each of the above. and thinking it would only be a side dish for my evening dinner. To my surprise, it filled me up completely by itself, with some left over.

I am new to this, having just started in July. So far I have lost 25 pounds. I have also started working out at the YMCA.

But I'm not out of the woods yet, as I still need to lose about 100 more pounds.

Your comments and feedback will be appreciated.

To All Others: Please accept my apologies for the off topic post. Feel free to send me an Instant Message in order to not depart any further from the intended topic of this thread.

Best Wishes,

Mr Cayton , I have sent you a private message, please let me know if you do not receive it.

Here in Australia we are entering Summer (we have 9 months of summer+ 2 months of autumn that we have to pretend is winter+ 2weeks of spring and autumn that shoulder the summer..... aaaaah gotta love the subtropics ) and if i intend on going to the beach as often as i'd like i need to lose between 6 and 10 pounds .... once upon a time i could eat like a horse and there were no consequences

cheers and best of luck with the change of diet
Danny
