How many times do you have candy in the pantry?

By the way, I cannot easily find a way to start a poll on this. Maybe someone could. We are with 100 people here. With us it is every single day almost. Two times birthday a week. Then somebody comes from holiday and brings snacks from his or her home country. Christmas, Easter, Pentacost, what ever. And actually I am trying to lose weight. So, no, not really happy with it. Sorry :-) It is like I am in the 'Frau Holle' fairytale!

Round our way, it appears mysteriously just before Christmas and we then desperately try to eat it before Easter!

Never. Our office is a strict no sex environment. Besides there is no woman called Candy working here.

Check out the attached screenshot for starting polls. I would definitely be interested in knowing how many people have loose women called Candy in their office.

Apart from the bold text everything is irrelevant. I've read quite interesting sentence once, just can't remember where, but it sounds similar to:
"If you ever would try to sit on a chair and stop at half way through, sort of in a position of sitting and standing, how long would you be able to try that?"

So, the key point is, either you lose weight, or don't - minimize your tries

btw: all same here

That's like Churchill's one about smoking:
Giving up smoking is easy. I've done it hundreds of times.

Shouldn't that be "Not do or do. No try there is"?

That is a pure tautology. Not sure if it is good for OP here I'm almost sure in Java that is not good.

Don't fret about weight, just remember 1 candy = 10 push ups, 50 gm snacks = 1 km walk and a cup of lemon tea in morning on empty stomach

You're saying getting someone in the pantry is a sort of ambiguity I am not aware of?

Well I am trying this new diet, that is get as much candy as you can in the office, since it is free anyway, then skipp dinner. It's saving me a lot of money for dinner, but unfortunately, I am not losing any weight.

The phrase up for interpretation is "do you have candy in the pantry".

That was very witty Maneesh, I like it.

Okay so it is "to have someone" ...

(Pantry is irrelevant.)

I will try to remember that to avoid being embarrassed again! Sorry.

While you're in Meaningless Drivel forum you should not be worrying. Such things can happen here more often than you think
