mcdonalds milkshakes

[mollykins]

They are one of the few things from mcdonalds i can eat but aparantly they have something rediculous like 1000 calories because of all the icecream. Is this true?

[squarebear]

No it isn't true. There are 380 calories in a McDonald's strawberry milkshake.

[mccfluff]

[factor-fiction]

Apparently they are not quite as ridiculous as that- less than 500 cals according to sites such as this

It took me a whole 30 seconds.

[mollykins]

ahh, still quite a lot though . . . I had one after rowing yesterday. How many calories does about 2km of rowing burn, which is probably how far we wnet in total over the two days?

[squarebear]

Depends on how fast you row it. 20 minutes, quite a lot, 3 weeks, probably not many.

knock yourself out.. http://www.mcdonalds....nutrition-counter.mcd

[mollykins]

well about 1km if you add it up we probbaly did in 30 minutes as the other km we were doing leisurely as we were getting the people who had never rowed before trained up, so over about 3 hours, as we didn't go very far and were stopping and starting. But i was in the hardest place which is noticeably more difficult than the other three.

[squarebear]

Were you going uphill?

[ummmm]

hehe

[mollykins]

no . . . .i live in east anglia . . . .

[sara3]

you're welcome.

[mollykins]

And you'd go through a lock if there was change in height.

Have you ever rowed on the lake at Heaton Park, mollykins?

[mollykins]

no, my cousin (not niamh) took me there with her boyfriend and dog before, a few years ago. Don't they sometimes have the proms in the park there?

I asked about Aspergers yesterday. I've just looked up the key signs. They include:
• Monotonous, rigid or unusually fast speech.
• Conversations revolve around self.
• Engaging in one-sided, long-winded conversations, without noticing if the listener's reactions.
• Obsessing on one or two specific, narrow subjects, like sports statistics, train schedules, weather or snakes.
• Lack common sense.
• Odd forms of self-stimulatory behavior.
• Sensory problems appear not to be as dramatic as those with other forms of autism.
• Socially aware but displays inappropriate reciprocal interaction.
• Appearing not to understand or be sensitive to others' feelings.
• An inability to "read" other people or understanding humour.
• Often described as eccentric.
