Emma: I like chocolate as well, though I cannot eat much of it - it contains a very small amount of caffeine, and even that minimal amount causes me...problems. :sweat:

And actually, the FP does refer to the machine's fuel. If you will notice, FP does drop by one point after you repair the machine.

i was wondering about that! I thought it used the flowers we feed to replenish

----------

I have to watch both sugar and caffein because I take a stimulant (prescribed of course)

@emma- There is a cool math trick dealing with chocolate.
Step 1- Think about how many times a week you would like to eat chocolate. More than once but less than 10 times.
Step 2- Multiply the number by 2.
Step 3- Add 5
Step 4- Multiply it by 50
Step 5- If you have had your birthday this year, add 1760. If you haven't add 1759
Step 6- Now subtract the full year you were born. 19_ _

You will have a 3 digit number. The first number is how many times you want to eat chocolate. The last two are your age.

My favorite snack is, of course, ice cream. But I can't have that because I have no self control when I eat it.

I have to watch sugar due to reactive hypoglycemia, and caffeine because of my seizures.
I have, for the most part, given up both - though occasionally I will have something containing sugar, as it can be quite difficult to avoid both where I live.

For someone to have their name in purple means what again?
Cause somone name knerd is lurking.

Alright. all this talk about it making me hungry. Im going to make myself something to eat.

(My eating habits are reeses and icecream. And Coca-cola. Yet I weigh very little)

I understand about ice cream- that is a binge food for sure. I only buy it once a month because my daughter gets a little crazy about it, and sometimes I eat too much and get sick with it.

Dark purple refers to a moderator. Lighter purple is an event coordinator.
Knerd is a moderator.

@Elvilla:
Haha thats cool
I think i got it in chain mail a while back
It is really simple and makes sense if you think about it.

Also, knerd is making sure we aren't misbehaving. Or she is a gasket spy.

So chances where she was just checking the conversation to make sure it was following the rules.

yeah I am sure they have to float around and make sure we are behaving

Another reason this is better than gaia, mods here are much more dedicated to their jobs.

I apparently have to wait 4 hours for my next power hour.
ick.
I'm trying to decide whether this means I should stay up or not.
:l

The problem with Gaia mods is not that they are not dedicated, but rather that there are good ones, there are bad ones, and there are WAY too many users for the good ones to cover.

True, and it helps that there aren't a lot of people on this site.

it seems like there are a lot!

In comparison, Mene is actually a very small site. We are nowhere near that million users mark yet. :sweat:

I mean in comparison, gaia has a lot more users.

How many users do we have, anyway?

Maybe being small is better because it is easier for the mods and event organizers

Not sure, at least 1,000, probably.

That's what I was trying to say earlier.

A small community also means fewer people who are generally unpleasant.
We have 80,277 accounts registered, at least half of which must be unique individuals.

ah sorry I am sure I should have noticed that!
