So glad you enjoyed the show JC!
You were missed here for sure!
Where is Cher barbie's place of honor now that she is home?


On top of the Bookcase with her latest program guide and ticket stub...

I think i would want plitt. I am a bodybuilder, and I like to try to hit heavy weights. He seems to be the best fit for me. plus, he seems really cool.

Good answer chefdaddy123.
I like Greg. He seems to be a really decent person. He is everywhere on tv and so many magazine fronts. He does quite a decent interview also. I like him for being his own person, and being able to support a group.

How long have you been a bodybuilder? Quite unusual for a chef.

I think most people fell in love with Doug.

I understand, one of my gay friends Todd, said that Jesse needs to be trained but not a trainer. He is too flaming to be a good trainer.
Being a lesbian, I have no idea, but I have heard that before. As I said before, I do not understand how he could graduate from Le Cordon Bleu, and give that up. Every chef or foodie I know, that is a passion in their blood.
It is sad that will all the loyality that he follows Jackie around with, that he will never even get close to the loyality that Jackie feels for all the female employees, even Rebecca, just because he is a guy.

oh! I wish I were a chef! I am the chef for the family! My wife hates to cook. I have been BB for 8 years. Not professionally, just lifting and building...heck, if I were a chef though...!! I love the show top chef, which is why I chose the moniker.

Hi,
Welcome to the boards! You will not get hate messages from me. I can see someone wanting Jackie. I like honest opinions without any hate.

Oh I really like your nick! In a way we are all addicts.

I was wondering if you had an opinion about going to a wonderful chef's school like Le Cordon Bleu, and giving it up for anything?????
Oh, what is your favorite dish????

i'm gonna go way out on a limb here...DrB help me with this.....remember unity comes from understanding....as a straight, married mom...I have often wondered what I would do and how I would react if one of my children were born gay....I think I would feel heartbroken (stay with me here)because I know how vicious society can and will be when you don't fit the "norm". I did not not watch the episode last night, but I can imagine that a mother would feel (Cher) the need to shield her child from hurt. Again, I am looking for education here.......

I, too, welcome you to the boards, Addict!!! TV is the new crack for our society. We do welcome your opinion and look forward to respectful, honest dialogue.

I, too, would like to have had Jackie midway through last season but seeing her disrespect, in my opinion, her relationship and her position, I could not in good conscience work out with her. Remember the first season when she was so cozy with the client in the desert? I felt really uncomfortable but kept thinking maybe I was being too old fashion and it really didn't mean anything. I don't know what I think now... Anyway...welcome.

I know!! That is so funny. I have NO idea WHY anyone would do that. Strange, for sure! My favorite dish is Chicken Tetrazini. I love it and I love making it. I also love eggplant parmesan (homemade sauce, of course!) What is yours? I wonder what Jesse's is!

I wonder if Jesse was beat-up in cooking school, or did his flalling arms with knifes scare everyone???
I agrre he needs a trainer and an acting coach to help him butch it up....

Alexrb:No problems at all, let's start over!
Thank you...

OFF TOPIC!!
Has anyone seen Kari Anna?

Gypsy in FL

He was probably smart and bargained "I will cook you up the BESTEST meal ever if you don't touch my pretty face". I am straight..but, he does have a pretty face!

Not since this weekend. I hope she is OK!

And don't feel like you have to say "off topic" Gypsy, if you (or anyone else) reads the other boards and threads you can easily see that off topic conversations happen all the time! I post on multiple boards and it is the norm rather than the exception, even when there is a specific "off topic" thread!

Jesse likes Tube Steak! All he can Eat (a big gay buffet)....

as you can prob. guess i'm kinda on the DL
straight in the streets and bi in the sheets- every now and than a PYT catches my eye too.

Oh, JC, I didn't realize that you were on the TC board for the tube steak discussion, somehow that was what was being discussed when I first started posting on there - what a riot! You crack me up!!!

Every story is different. My mom is heart broken because she believes I am going to hell and taking Alex with me. She has a parent, my Granddad, who is gay and tried to be out while in the Navy during WWII. But the chaplain he talked to told him not to ever tell anyone else what he felt and to marry the first woman he thought he might could be with for the rest of his life. Thus he married my Grandma. They both were sad for a very long time... It is hard in this world but I believe that we make our own way. If you had a child that was gay, I would hope that you would love and support your child and stand up for them whenever your voice might be needed.

hey I prob sound stupid, some body know how to do spell check here?

my responses are rushed an can't be bothered to correct each 1

any body?

Hello my new little friend.(fake foreign accent here)

yes when you type a message, just check up in the second line and you will see a check mark. It will prompt you to download a program. Don't be afraid of it, and then you can spell check all your posts.

I aint married. got a girl but.. what she don't know...

NICI

If I ever go missing you will know where to find me! I will be on the second shelf behind the Sugar (powdered and brown). I cant go back in the closet....

I serious hope this is a He-man joke. There are a lot of women on here(who would be highly offended), that might think you were serious, instead of er, how to put this, just showing your manhood.
I have a cousin that is always saying he is fooling around on his wife, but we all know he is as faithful as a preacher. I have a gay friend(who I will not name) who thinks it is his job to sleep with as many men as possible, but he is very honest with them about it. I don't care what people do in private, but putting people in danger by hiding stuff, is never cool.

If you have a google tool bar you can spell check with that without down loading another thing onto your computer.

DrB...that goes without saying...my very early posts tell the story of my best friend since 5th grade who happens to be a wonderful gay man. I, yes, that's right, me, was beaten up for protecting him from teasing when we were little. So my point is, since we have this "chance" encounter with so many of us from so many walks of life, why not open an honest discussion of what we do not understand about each other? I'm just sayin....might go along way toward acceptance and understanding of each other.

I will come looking for you, never fear! And munch on some of that sugar to keep your strength up till I get there!

What does PYT mean?

I was actually very impressed with the way her mother handled everything. My mom doesn't like that I'm gay. I used to think she would rather me be a homeless crack [expletive deleted] with three kids....at least I'd be straight. I don't get it, but....

Anyway, I give jackies mom a hand for visiting and being willing to engage in the relationship. I think jackie is asking a lot of her. She seems to want the relationship to be something it's not. It is the way it is. Both sides have to give a little and I think jackie's mom has given.

It's a tough situation though. I actually feel for jackie in that sense.

Hello Kiasmama,
I would like to welcome you to the has had stuff slung at them from Jack123 club. What Jack123 doesn't seem to understand trying to insult someone about something they have no reason to be ashamed of, only hurts the accuser.

I for one am thankful that you are doing this research. I was also appalled at the "sugar" tear that Jackie Warner is on. In another post on another workout board, which I will post below, I was wondering if things have changed since I was told this.
"I agree sugar is one major enemy and easy to abuse, but she totally left out empty carbs, which is the main problem. I hear her discussing how much sugar but never mentions the glycemic index of a food. A food with a high glycemic value will act just like pure sugar, and is just as dangerous for your body. If you tell someone to cut out sugar, they will substitute with high glycemic foods, exactly like a smoker cutting back to lower nicotine cigarettes will just inhale deeper and longer, getting the same nicotine from the cig, without even knowing it.
The best advice is quite simple, watch your carbs, all of them. Try not to get above 45-65 carbs per meal(harder than you might think), keep your fiber intake above 35 grams, and keep your water/liquid intake up.
White bread is high on the glycemic index where as whole wheat is lower. Here is a nice free website if you want to check on how quickly foods break down.
http://www.glycemicindex.com/
Best advice, go have an honest talk to your doctor, who can hook you up with a dietitian/nutritionist who knows what they are talking about(everyone should see one, once, just like you want to know what octane gas for your car). What I said is a suggestion, but you need what works for you. You have one body, don't just trust sound bites from someone who is not an expert on a subject."

thanx
guess i learned somethin new

new here and I post on couple other blogs AICN etc. but I do like reality tv so...

just that it is I cant be out so thought i could admit that hear and well
I guess i shoulda just stuck to admitting liking one sex
thought it would ok here at bravo-to say that- i watch it and my buds laugh at me. but whateva

thanx for spell check guess i shoulda paid more attention in school

There is some good info there. That is part of the problem. Jackie says sugar as a broad thing. You can't look at it that way. You also have to figure in your metabolic rates (which a dietician can help you with) and refer to glycemic index as you've stated. It's not just a simple "sugar is the devil" thing.

My main area of research is natural rewards...which is very interesting. You can't say drugs are more addicting, or sugar is more addicting, becasue as you've inferred, everyone is different. Just because we are all human, doesn't mean our bodies work the same way.

So why is one person a sugar addict and one isn't? It does have to do with brain chemistry, but it's not simply not eating sugar and breaking the addiction. It's all about the payoff. If you get more of a payoff from doing exercise than eating a candy bar....you will do the exercise. If you get more of a payoff from doing cocaine than eating a candy bar...you'll do the coke.

But what is that payoff and how do we rank it mentally? That's the million dollar question. There are some very interesting things going on with brain plasticity (teaching and old dog new tricks). It has to do more with how you think about the candy bar, than the candy bar itself. Breaking any addicition, whether food, drugs, whatever takes a change in thinking and 8 times out of 10 that change can't be made without some outside cognitive therapy and support.

I'm getting too long winded...lmao!

Let me just say...I was WRONG in how I treated my mom. I didn't tell her stuff so that I didn't have to deal with her. Integrity on my part now is tell her whatever and letting her deal with it however she choses to. Sometimes that is in a way I like and most times it is in a way I don't. She did not come to mine and Alex's renewal ceremony in March and I cried for a few days because I had hoped she would just be happy for us but she is where she is and I have to let it go. We have to let people be where they are and keep hoping they will change or at least bend.

You must be trying to rationalize your poor eating habits. Why am I not surprised. A woman who claims to be a lesbian and then spews hatred about those with AIDS is a sad case in every way.

Anyway here you go you grown woman living with your mother seeking message boards for friendship, this article is old but you can do your own research harpy. Here's ONE article from the Society of Neuroscience. Can you read? Maybe you should write them letters? You have all day don't you?

Pretty Young Thing, if I am not mistaken.
