Damnit James.@muddy75 how likely is it that someone will be infected with vCJD from contaminated dental instruments?
Sort of. But work on both. I also have had to work on my driving over the years, both speeding and distracted. I still think there are things I do I shouldn’t with my phone even music, etc. I’m trying to work on that for the impression factor of my kid.
My BIL is a fireman and always tells me how injuries exponentially increase with speed. In my 20s I regular cruised at 80+ on the interstate. That cut that out just understanding how unsafe it is. For a blowout even... things out of your control. Injuries from accidents at high speeds are so often fatal or serious.
I think as you age you understand a little more about things out of your control that can take away your invincibility regardless of your aptitude. There’s just frankly too many things that can go wrong, out of your control, when driving, why add a dangerous speed to the mix.
the lower speeds is really and truly a thought of math like @CindyinSD said. There is hardly a time where the insignificant difference is worth it. I realized this when I got a dually truck and stopped speeding anywhere cause I was just too dang big in the truck. I realized quickly you always meet the same cars in a short stretch of drive and on something longer you’re only maybe 5 minutes behind. There’s absolutely no reason to go over the speed limit.
also, it sort of helps me to visualize other people speeding that always piss me off whenever I want to speed. everyone has somewhere to go and everyone has their own timeline. It’s silly to think my time is worth more than everyone else on the road, and I don’t want to be that person!
Weird no gross yes.
Maybe I am weird...I eat cottage cheese. Not every day but it is a good source of calcium and really does NOT taste like wisdom tooth pus.
I'm not the Mexican.No.
Pickled pigs feet are gross!
Kelsi, if you eat sugary, starchy, fatty foods, you will crave them more and more strongly. First thing in the morning eat something high protein--homemade greek yogurt (no sweetener but unsweetened fruit if you need it)--an egg or more--cottage cheese... plant-based, could be hummus or falafel, black beans with a spoonful of salsa or guac... you get the idea. That starts you off ahead instead of inviting cravings from the start. If you need sugar in your tea use a packet of splenda or a tbsp of honey or put a tbsp of cream in instead.
As long as you don't succumb to temptation and eat something full of low-nutrient-density carbs, the cravings will be psychological and manageable. If you eat a tub of ice cream, high carb things will soon become much harder to resist.
The worst is empty-calorie carbs with fats (that tub of ice cream). The sugars spike your insulin, then the insulin (being excessively high as a result) socks all that sugar and all that fat away in your fat cells for possible future use. Too much glucose (sugar) in your blood is toxic to your neurological tissues so your pancreas is trying to protect you from this poison. Next, having done its job, the pancreas realizes it has over-steered and cuts off the insulin. Too late, though. Your blood sugar is now at a low (hypoglycemic), causing you to crave sugary/fatty foods to bring it up to normal levels. This scenario will play out throughout your whole day unless you have a strong enough will to resist the cravings. Ice cream is wonderful, but please trust me; you can live a happy life without it and its ilk.
You will get the same reaction with all empty carbs. Just say no.
I'm not the Mexican.
I feel personally attacked with this post for my mid morning first food of lucky charms. I only recently caught that it makes me crave all day long. All. Day. Long.
He eats that too.True.
I guess there are a lot of gross things people eat.....tripe comes to mind.
