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 😉

What aspect of it is disingenuous?  I see people who are scared to ‘come out’ on their own, become less scared because to them there is safety in numbers.

Keeping their options open. Can you find a different report of the event?  Perhaps it would be clearer. However, which requires a bigger stretch of the imagination?  A mysterious animal, not from the area, snuck in and savaged a person, without keeping the remains for a second meal, or a deranged human acted out his fantasies?

I do

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a “different type of animal” in the general sense. It’s the word ‘type’ that does it for me 🙂

I read, “a different type of animal” as meaning a human being acting like an animal.

Crime of passion?  I guess the genitalia are savaged (hence not knowing the gender) so it’s indicative of some anger in that direction.  Terrible.
