So my doctor told me flaxseed was good for your cholesterol level. First of all, I can't believe I'm old enough to have to think about my cholesterol. I mean, in my head I'm 12. Someone used "big hose" and "laying the pipe" in her POTD today, and I giggled like Beavis and Butthead. Anyway, instead of thinking of some natural way to get flaxseed or omega-3 fatty acids in my diet, I decided to do it the American way and buy a supplement. The recommended dose on the bottle is 6 tablets a day. But then I'm looking at the fine print, and in each pill there are 10 calories and 1 gram of fat, so six tablets is 2 points on Weight Watchers. I only get like 22 or 23 points a day. Do you know what I can have for 2 points? A bowl of oatmeal. Almost a whole bag of popcorn. Two yogurts. A banana. Part of a margarita! And on and on. Screw the flaxseed capsules! I only take one a day. But aren't they pretty capsules?
I also can't believe how much I talk about Weight Watchers, but we'll leave that for another post, where I mention things like the best place to get a good deal on stretch pants and why kids today are so disrespectful and how I don't understand all this newfangled stuff like the internet.

Love the close up!! How funny that those would amount to that many WW points!!
WOW I never thought something like that would look so cool. I really like the depth of field and love the last shot.
Ok. I'm the one with the 'big hose' - laying the pipe. Now I see it differently....
That 2nd shot is great. I tried to get macro shots today for about 30 minutes & basically gave up.
I'm also trying to be good on WW. 2 points for pills - they better make me really, really happy.
I like the amber color of these. You're so good with close-ups!
Great close-ups!! I really like the DOF on that first pic!
two points for those !!! nice shots.
Now I know for sure we would get along just fine. Except the whole ww thing. Don't get me wrong I so need to be doing ww I just havent gotten there yet.
They are very pretty! My Dh takes those also.
You post had me totally cracking up. I can relate to way too much of it. Thanks for the chuckle!
I love the topic for the day! I run a cholesterol clinic, so flax seed and fish oil are dear to my heart! Hilarious to see how many points they are too......You can have all kinds of stuff for 2 points!!!
Ooooh, love love LOVE the last one!
You have such clever ideas! The two last shots are captured so well. Who would have thought such everyday thing would make such a cool shot.
These are cool shots. I love the color.
Oh my god Becky...you totally have the FUNNIEST and most interesting blog. I love coming here, knowing I will find out something interesting (seriously...who KNEW about the fat and calories in those things), but I will also see great photos and have a good laugh. We really should get together. Even without our camera's its bound to be a good time.
Great shots! Hopefully you submitted the pill shots for stock! LOL about the amount of points
Interesting subject butw onderful shots. I really, really like the second one. That could not have been easy to do.
