What was the strangest "fad" diet you have ever tried ?
I've never been on a diet but since I keep gaining wait I seriously need to try one!
A milk machine? Hmmm.. I hope I'm not milking this.. but is that like a Pepsi or a Coke machine that takes quarters or Dollar bills?
No, it was just like the ones in cafeterias where you press your glass against the lever. It was actually cheaper to buy in quantity like that rather than in cartons.

Raising my hand!!!! Oh Oh Oh!! I know this answer!!!
NO!!! It does not take dollars and quarters!
It is filled with 5 gallon bags with little spouts that you load into the refrigerated cooler...the spouts hang out so when you lift the handle you can get a nice cold drink of milk. A milkman usually delivers....my ex's family had one when he was growing up and also the Head Start I worked for has one. Think of spring water machine...not soda machines!! UNDERSTAND????

What was the strangest "fad" diet you have ever tried ? Never went on fad diets.
Let's see . . . I liked ironing the handkerchiefs, which another poster mentioned. I also liked dusting the living room. For some reason being in charge of the Pledge made me feel grown up. At my parent's dime store I loved weighing the candy. Unfortunately, I was relieved from this duty fairly quickly because I ate so much candy corn.
I'll have to give the bonus question some thought. My brain is sort of dead today.
It's been too long since I've taken a good walk outside. We had a very rainy fall in the Southeast, which is usually a beautiful season. I don't like cold weather so no walks in the winter. Now, walking from the computer to the kitchen is another story. That's a good walk . . . I just need to make it longer!
Your coconut project sounds like fun!
I used some canned corn to make corn pudding right after Christmas. It was delicious and I am posting the recipe on the recipe forum sometime today.
The strangest fad diet I ever tried was some type of extremely nasty pudding. I don't remember the name of it but it was in the early 80s. What's funny is I was very, very slender, but I was trying to fit some curves into a very straight skirt. I had an invitation to the inagural (that doesn't look like it's spelled correctly -- my brain is really dead!) ball for the Governor of Georgia and had borrowed a beautiful long black velvet skirt from a co-worker, but it was super straight!
Was there one chore that was "your chore" that you actually enjoyed doing?
My chore was to feed the dog, it was always fun, and to this day I still like dogs.
Bonus Question:
Can someone explain why I have no problems understanding chemical processes an/or designing new processes, but when it come to teaching a person about chemistry I seem to lose them in a fog of numbers, yikes I feel like some sort of geek.
Extra Credit Question:
When was the last time you took a nice perambulate ?
Like my dog I walk my marked area every day. Unlike my dog I don’t pee on every corner to keep others away, but it might not be such a bad idea now that I think about it.
Just for Fun:
What was the last thing you ate, that came out of a can ? Olives to go with my cheese
What was the strangest "fad" diet you have ever tried ?
I have just tried the protein diets, they work, and I can eat all the cheese I want, which makes it a good diet

NO!!! It does not take dollars and quarters!

Shucks, I thought it was one of those natural machines that roamed out in the fields and ate grass, and it only said "Mooooo", and you squeezed its breast to get milk.. I think it's called a cow..
I tried to do that one time, but I made a mistake... that bull wasn't too happy when I tried to milk him.. and he chased me away....
I love hats, and have worn them most of my life. I suppose while some women become "the crazy cat lady" in old age, I'll more than likely come to be known as the "crazy hat lady."
Let's see: chores I had that I actually liked? Well, none growing up -- or rather, none of the chores ever really bothered me. It was easier to get things done than to get restricted for not doing them, or getting lectured and beat for mouthing-off or griping about them. My father, you'll recall, was an ex-Marine corps drill sergeant, and he treated us three girls like recruits. It could be pretty miserable sometimes.
Now, as a young woman, I was a waitress at a nice seafood restaurant on the NC coast, and the hostess (who assigned extra duties or chores like rolling silver, cleaning the bathrooms, etc.) disliked me intensely. Without fail, she would assign me the soup pots, which were THE worst. By 11:00 p.m., the soup pots would be so crudded-up, it would take almost an hour to get them clean, which meant scrubbing them with steel wool. All the waitresses absolutely hated the soup pots! But what Ms. Priss Hostess didn't realize, was the the cooks liked me quite a bit, and felt sorry for me, being assigned soup pots 98% of the time, so, at the end of the evening, they would pour the soup into the fridge containers, put it away, and s-o-a-k the pots for me. It was a breeze by the time I got to the back to them. . . and I was always the first waitress out the door, much to the chagrin of the hostess. I would be pleasant, smile, and say, "Good night!"
Do I perambulate? As a matter of fact, several times a day you can find me perambulating. When I was a young Mommy, I would often perambulate with my little one in a nice perambulator!
