Lemons or Limes?

[RoyalFlush]

are we allowed to mix the two. I find the lemon/lime combo an exciting treat these days!! Also, more importantly, how do you get these smiley faces to work?

[mycroftxxx]

limes have been substituded by some of the older members, its nice to be able to break up the routine. also another brilliant idea was to make a lemon sorbet smoothy concoction for a treat.

as for the smileys they have been an issue for a looooong time. the buttons up top are useless so you have to manually input them.
peter said that they'd be taken care of 2 weeks ago...

manual inputs of the smileys have been covered by a thread called "a lesson on making smileys" that I bumped yesterday... I'll bump it again for ya... :

*edit*
awww screw it. here is the link

We are allowed to use the lil lemons/limes juices instead of fresh right? Gosh, can't think of what their called..but they look like real lemons but they are in liquid form...? So, can we mix the two in one serving?

[mycroftxxx]

^ what the heck??

have you even read the book?

no no no! Â*dude you are supposed to use fresh squeezed lemons.

I think you just triggered another Mycroftxxx rant...


one of the things that I get out of the cleanse is a break from the standard american diet (SAD) a break from all this pre-packaged, shrinkwrapped disposable world that we have created for ourselves. there IS a sacrifice that is made for convenience, what is sacrificed is our health. eating all this pre-packaged garbage is slowly killing us. Doing the master cleanse for me, is not about losing weight or trying to cure some weird obscure ailment or disease. its about regaining sanity and control. making sane food decisions and controling what does end up going into my body.

so when you say that you are going to use the prepackaged lemon juices it drives me batty. when you see all these packaged juices and on the packaging you see that it says with vitamin C added or some other bogus crap like that its because the vitamin C is there as a preservative. the friggin companies are adding those vitamins to extend shelf life. they are not doing it cuz they are concerned about your health. Heck no. its there to boost their bottom dollar.

now, those lemon juices:
when a lemon is cut open to extract the juices it starts decomposing right then and there. and who knows how long that prepackaged juice has been sitting there on the store shelfs waiting for you to pick them up. dont put that rotten crap into your body.

just go grab a juicer and 1 knife and you can be rest assured that you are doing something good for your body when you drink that freshly squeezed juice.

I'm going to stop now before I wear out my keyboard ;D

What mycroftxxx is saying is "No" you can't use the little bottles.

Fresh is best. The bottles have chemicals added and really tastes basically "crappy". So to get the benefit of how the cleanse was really designed, go for the real thing.

Oh, and he also wanted to tell you, "Welcome Aboard". lol ;D But if you're a guy, you probably didn't even notice anything "different" about his communication because this is how guys communicate, yes?


*Res gives feisty mycroftxxx a bear hug*

Take care,

[mycroftxxx]

now that I've come back from rollerblading around:

I think I can communicate like a human being once again.

pre-packaged = bad... very bad

fresh = good... very good, very healthy, yum ;D

bottled juice = rotten juice, bad, very bad.

and to continue "guy talk"

*mycroftxxx gives hearty stinging slap to back of wlt*

*mycroftxxx gives head fake to Res and light punch/tap to his ribs*

(guy talk translation)

-- mycroftxxx welcomes the noob with a greeting he'll remember --

-- mycroftxxx says "sup" to Res --

guytalk = efficient communication ;D

[wlt]

Thanks for the good communication and intrepretation Res... Cause when I was reading Mycro... response, I was thinking holy cow buddy, whats ur problem? LOL! So anyhow, got it.. I kinda thought about it more last night as I picked up two bags of lemons...so there!!! (womenly response).

However, today is my 3rd day, and I feel good - regardless of my lil 'packaged' lemons. Last night was the first time I tried the tea (I dont really like tea- but in comparsion to sea salt water..I am all over it *smile*) and I like it...Definitely thinking how I can change my diet after I am through...shooting for the 10'er, who knows, maybe I will go longer!

[Res]

wlt: Oops another mis-interpretation....no guy talk eh? lol Sorry wlt. Just like I didn't realize you were female, mycroftxxx (after all this time) thinks I'm a guy. "*mycroftxxx gives head fake to Res and light punch/tap to his ribs*" what a dork!

Anyway, glad to hear that you're doing well even after using FAKE lemons. Welcome Aboard again! ;D

[wlt]

He he he..whatta dork (womenly response) in regards to Mycro.. Yeah, I have actually lost 5.5 lbs and feel good. I had a pretty tough year as I had retinal eye surgery and 2 laser treatments after that..in which I could not exercise for months, and then I could, and then I cant..well actually NOT exercise but jog..which I love to do for my mental and physical health.

So then I was forced to eat better *wink*, try different exercises, watch my diet, yet, still gradually packed on pounds. When you have eye surgery you 'see' things differently and want things better for yourself and family. I have pondered a cleanser for months...and my friend provided this to me....and I am glad she did!! AND, I have been making the effort to eat better, etc..........
