    If that gets brought back I will eat cereal again.
    Cereal at night is good when you don't feel like drinking that night because you went too hard the night before.

    But which is worse, cereal gut or beer gut? :lol:

    brian,

    on that oatmeal topic here goes a quick story. a guy i know has a couple 18 wheelers & he was wanting me to operate one running around alaska & back down here for him. on my first & only tour of alaska he told me he'd pay for all my meals as we teamed up in his truck. every morning i had oatmeal, scrambled eggs & ham or bacon. simple. turns out my breakfasts were more expensive than his & his pal, "the arctic squirrel" (as i called him).

    anyways... -40f/-40c
    0 degrees fahrenheit is -17celsius
    bowl of hot oatmeal, eggs, ham & coffee sure is a good way to start the day

    Or the US could pull it's head of it ass and convert to Celsius like the rest of the civilized world. Or you fuckers can just learn to math. At least that's what I tell all my US friends when they whine about not knowing "what that is in Fahrenheit".

    What strikes me is "learn to math". What does that even mean?

    I'm doing ok in terms of comprehending the different ways temps are measured.

    The U.S. began to convert to the metric system (remember the highway signs that gave both miles and kilometers?) but then the whole thing was retracted during the (I believe it was) Reagan administration. It makes sense since base 10 is simplest and really much easier. When the weather hits freezing, what could make more sense than... 0 degrees!

    Measuring is especially a pain in the butt. 12 inches? Three feet to a yard? 5,280 feet in a mile? Crazy!

    The only catch is (as far as I can figure) we can't really have a base 10 calendar. 365.256 days to circle the sun? Tell me the Planet doesn't have a twisted sense of humor!

    Well, I have neither.
    But I'd imagine a cereal gut would be worse.

    I don't drink beer because of the yeast so for me the semi-bulging belly (not too bad... yet) is either the cereal or age.

    haven't had just a bowl of cereal in forever or so it seems. as of late it'd be cheerios w/ strawberry yogurt, blueberries & a banana. what kicks ass is captn crunch, cinnamon toast crunch or frosted mini wheats. haven't ate those in years. cereal for supper kicks ass mostly because there is nearly no dishes to wash other than a bowl or bowls & a spoon or spoons. i like that

    cereal & peanut butter toast was a hit back in the day

    Peanut butter toast with honey :flushed: or English muffin :flushed:
    Oh please let it rain today.
    Those that can be trusted can change their mind.

    It means learn to do the conversions, dear Hedo. Some folks insist on "not understanding" unless it is pre converted for them. If I have to math when I go south of the border or someone lists a temp or distance in Imperial I do the conversions in my head. The same is expected in reverse is all.

    Here ya go. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:
    T(°C) = (T(°F) - 32) / 1.8

    or use the online converter:

    I forgot to mention when a cereal binge is in order it's Apple Cinnamon Cheerios all the way. A couple of times a year it's all I'll eat for a day or two.

    I haven't had a bowl of cereal in a while, let alone for dinner. My fav used to be Raisin Bran Crunch w/ 2% milk chilled to 4 degrees Celsius. You're welcome, Can'da.

    Winter, 3.21.2018  22:15 hours.  Totally lacking resistance, I go the the kitchen and make quick oats with raisins, honey, almond milk.  I know, it's late, maybe to late to eat but... it's winter, it's oatmeal.  What harm in that? :lol:

    I could eat cereal any time of day. I used to eat it sometimes for my evening meal when I was in college or the year or 2 after graduating. Now, it's pretty much just in the morning for breakfast, although I am known to get a handful for a quick snack. My favorite is golden grahams, but usually get either honey nut cheerios or vanilla almond special k to have a somewhat healthier food.

    Surely, you can’t be cereal.
