Granny's gone and done it again

One more must plant thing is beets. Must have pickled beets.

I plant beets in my garden specially to feed to my chickens! They get the greens throughout the summer then the beetroot gets chopped and frozen to thaw out for nutritious treats during the winter.

H2o I get what you're saying but the minute we let the government have any control in any aspect of our educational system, we give them power to dictate what and how we teach, and we absolutely cannot allow that. We have to have total autonomy over our educational system. This is why our tuition is high, because our taxes do NOT pay for it. The government provides "free" education to everybody through tax-funded public schools, and those schools do not and CANNOT teach the Bible or the Ten Commandments; they teach evolution. Our schools DO teach Bible, obedience to ALL Ten Commandments, including the seventh-day Sabbath, and Creation. We don't want the government interfering with that. We pay for our autonomy, and we also, through our taxes, pay for public education, just like everybody else.

Oh wow!!! I didn’t know that

Dear Doctors: I mentioned to a friend that I’m starting a low-carb diet that puts your body into ketosis. She said not to because ketosis is one of the dangerous complications that can happen to people with diabetes. Is that right? If so, how can low-carb diets ever be safe?

Dear Reader: Your friend made a fairly common mistake. She has confused ketosis, which is a shift in how the body uses energy when carbohydrates are not available, with ketoacidosis, which is a serious complication of Type 1 diabetes.

The names are similar because both involve chemicals known as ketones. These are an alternative fuel source that the liver makes from stored fat. This occurs when glucose, which is derived from carbohydrates and is the body’s go-to source of energy, is in short supply. However, ketosis and ketoacidosis are not the same thing. Unlike ketosis, which is generally safe, ketoacidosis is a grave and life-threatening condition. Also known as diabetic ketoacidosis, it occurs in people living with Type 1 diabetes when their insulin levels become too low. This results in a buildup of ketones in the bloodstream, which causes the blood to become dangerously acidic. The condition is usually triggered by hormone imbalances that result from certain types of illness, or by a problem with insulin therapy.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a medical emergency. Without immediate care, it can lead to death. Although it is seen most often in people living with Type 1 diabetes, under certain conditions, it is possible for it to occur in someone with Type 2 diabetes as well.

For those who don’t have diabetes, are in good health and are not pregnant, ketosis can be a safe and effective way to help with weight loss. It’s a metabolic state that is achieved by strictly limiting the amount of carbohydrates in the diet. Without carbohydrates to process into glucose for fuel, the body switches to burning stored fat for energy instead. It takes three to four days of eating 50 grams or fewer of carbohydrates to nudge the body into ketosis.

I agree. We must do everything we can to prevent them from being brainwashed

It's nap time until we have to go into town for Ma's dental appointment.

I typed this up this mid morning. Just now hit post reply. Serious case of brain flatulence today I guess.

Ma is back from the dentist so now we are going to shop for a much needed sprinkler to replace one that has died.

Granny I do hope that you are getting some issues resolved. We are concerned about you and yours.
