Don't be frustrated you'll get a job soon enough. Be sure to post about how happy you are about it when you do.

niobe:
Your profile picture is amazing!

I wish it would storm here. I know others don't not with all the fireworks going on and weekend plans. But since I have none and could care less about fireworks, I mean once you have seen them once you have seem them right? So I say bring on the rain! biggrin
niobe:
Especially at night right before you are about to go to bed. It's the best way to fall asleep. smile

That pic is like the ominous time-portal clouds in Donnie Darko.

Your job search reminds me of dating life. "Sorry, you're close, but you didn't *quite* make the cut. Let's be friends" (same thing as "I'll keep your resume on file") In any form, it sucks! mad
lilviciousone:
How are you today?
peggy:
Your friend and mom were flashing each other? Whoa sorry. That would freak me out, but my mom is 70.

somehow i jacked up replying to you in editting my reply and the post is gone... i am not sure how- anyway... you can repost if you want. i did take it as confrontational, but whatever.

the reason i told her to takedown her protein was that if you actually followed the links and read them, then you woudl have seen that high urea comes from excess purines and proteins the body cannot seem to handle, so logically one would need to lower those things in their diet. the one thread has nothing to do with the other.

but if you want to go back and recomment go ahead, i messed it up somehow?? there is also anothe rlist of things she has there that she wants to know about if you have any info on those as well.
lilyk:
i just help requested to find the comment wink again, apologies on that lack of techieness.
lilyk:
as for the source of the info... i put a few weblinks in there as sources... it is always best to look through those to avoid any redundency...

the only reason i posted on the purine/protein/urea topic was that it was the first on the list...

i will be the first to admit that some of the stuff the ADA hands me down in my grad classes is a little more than conservative in their numbers, but i guess they woudl rather have people who are certified in playing it safe for the most part than people who just guess and make up numbers.

does that make sense?
lilyk:
o yeah, i totally blame the canada thing... i keed. i think for the most part you are more on the ball with eating in comparison to your average american. but i live in a place that revolves around fast food. yuck.

anyway, if you go to the ada- american dietetic association recommendations they are very very conservative for the most part. most doctors really aren't required to take tons of nutrition courses so they just follow these set guidelines... so when telling anyone something, i tend to follow them as well... for a woman of her age they woudl tell her .8 to 1 grams or protein per kg body weight... but if you notce what i told her to do was not to stop with protein, it was to switch it to the nonanimal variety as the animal proteins are what cause the uric acid spikes.

feel free to go and look at the rest of her list... she had some others that i have not had the time to get back to yet
lilyk:
This is basically what we are to consider our main source while in graduate courses... As they are the ones who certify us...

We try to follow their set RDA guidelines, and while the source of this article is not the best, its sources are pretty solid...

wink
lilyk:
No, i did not say the FDA, i said the RDA... HUGE difference- the RDA is a recommended Daily Allowance...

yeah, supplements so need some form of regulation in a huge way in both what they can contain and how they can be marketted- there is a lot of bad stuff out there that shadows what the good stuff can do in a diet.

But whether you like the FDA or not, you have to function by them as otherwise you can get in trouble legally... Liability suits are huge in the U.S.

Which part did you not agree on? The amount of protein? That's the thing, and why I got so pissed off in that first thread on it... So many people have differing opinions and differing info, the problem seems to be that in these groups oftne people attack each other rather thna post their sources and go about attacking the data rather than the opinions.... does that make sense?

I get to clean up that mess about every third or fourth thread that is not about something fluff like luna bars or favourite soy milks.
lilyk:
if you want to know more on the FDA and opinions, i invite you to start a topic on that- since it will be all opinion, then no one can really be that bad on linking things wink
