They gave me an ‘amnesiac’ for the colonoscopy which seems to be a ‘must do’ for the population here.  I called it a date rape.  I’m pretty glad I don’t remember any of it, despite the doctor mailing me some weird photos of a place where the sun don’t shine.  Then he called me to tell me everything was fine and asked if I liked the photos.…[Read more]

I was with you, Popie, until your last paragraph, which was a tad convoluted 🙂

I’m pretty sure there’d be a cigarette involved 🙂

California is fighting back against all of Trumps ‘directives’.   They have the economy of a mid sized country. If that’s where you’re headed, I think you’ll be ok.

Trump is giving permission for States to impose work requirements. That means you need to be aware of what your state will do.  The chances are that nothing will actually transpi…[Read more]

Daniel, I agree Ted Cruz’s face is eminently smackable. 🙂

A ham sandwich would be better than Donald Trump. Can’t we raise the bar a bit more?

Tom, mine did too and for the same reason 🙂

Jake, I could eat berries of all sorts in moderation, but it introduces an element of grey in my black and white choice model, so I tend to just eat them on birthdays and stuff.

In Europe, ‘prawn cocktail’ is an appetizer that involves shrimp, lettuce and Marie Rose sauce- there are barely any carbs in mayo or ketchup, and mixed together they…[Read more]

@jakelafort Steak, Pork, Chicken, Shrimp, Tuna, all sorts of cheese, eggs, heavy cream, butter, half and half for my coffee with a ton of Splenda, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, bacon, macadamia, cashew and almond nuts, peanut butter, Diet Coke, tea, and I have some ‘fake’ bread now with 1 net carb a slice, iceberg lettuce, a few cherry tomatoes,…[Read more]

Daniel, I remember getting ready to go party with my sister and Cat Stevens greatest hits on the cassette recorder. I also memorized a lot of those songs.  When Cat got religion, I lost interest in him, but I still have many of those older songs on my devices.

I have lost over 100 pounds in the last four years.  Probably around 75 pounds in year 1, and the rest drifted off gradually.  I have constant energy with no peaks and troughs.  I never get ‘hungry’ – I eat once a day, in the evening.  Sometimes I forget, if I’m out and about, like yesterday, when I realized at 9pm that I hadn’t eaten yet.  Having…[Read more]

@regthefronkeyfarmer See Sunday School for the Greek polytheistic religion – I bet it’s the closest religion around to do that!

Tom, I like that thought.  When people I don’t know infuriate me, it’s something I can only fix within myself.  No, I don’t hear about the #metoo activity often either.

Bellen, regarding triggers, my wife lost her son to brain cancer many years ago.  He was 5. When the St Jude commercials come on, with little kids with no hair pleading for mone…[Read more]

Let me know when this stops being a test and starts being a discussion 😉
