Well, I was, but tbh I kinda forgot I wanted to do that. I mean, didn't really forget, but idk. Haven't really had any issues lately. Did stop eating the Halloween candy and super processed stuff though. Sort of. More on that in a second. But I think in baked goods or a tiny bit on toast (I've been working on barely putting any on rather than my usual heaping amounts) it isn't so bad. I better not mention the muffins I bought earlier this week though. 8 of em and I ate almost every one except one.... :oops: or the English muffins and Subway I've been eating a ton of lately. And did get some dark chocolate sea salt caramels yesterday (pretty salty but good) and some apple cider and maple donuts. Neither are very good. And Swedish fish only because my brother asked for them yesterday so I got two packs, one for both of us cause I love them too, but those really hit my head so I haven't really been eating them and put them away. They didn't give me a headache but they would've if I kept eating. I will give those to him. So I guess it's the super super processed stuff or maybe the food coloring and preservatives? I have issues with. But that said, I have been eating a lot of carbs and I think therefore sugar? Lately with all the muffins, English muffins (plain and cinnamon raisin), white bread, cookies and lemonade at Subway, etc., so I do need to cut back because I think it all breaks down the same which is bad for diabetes and such, right? Plus all those carbs are just really fattening and I'm already overweight.

Hmmm, I wonder what he had planned given your pain tolerance.


Kinda like Groucho!


Unless you have a tactical light ON your gun :D


Whoa, 1 pound of cranberries without a lot of sweetening adders would be quite the pucker maker.


Sounds like a keeper.


Good thing, he needs you. Dying from lung cancer wouldn't be beneficial.


Good thing you have that short commute now.


Just ask @007Sean !!

Yuppp, it'd be pretty gross without any sugar!! Barely even sweet.

He was. Worked in area 51 for a while when we lived in vegas... Advised Physicists, built high speed machinery, Innovated manufacturing processes... Worked on tooling for the first space station... The list goes on... Taught himself calculus when we moved here. Yet he never had that paper you get from a college degree... called a diploma.

didnt have faith in college at all .... he felt that teachers tended to push out creativity and thinking out side of the box. He also felt there was a solution to every problem.

When I was about twenty five and taking calculus he gave me a problem to solve. Take a unit cube.. That is a cube with lengths of sides one by one by one. Inside fit a unit sphere. That sphere will touch all six sides of the cube at a single point. Then take another sphere and fit it in the corner... Touching three sides of the unit Cube and a single point on the unit sphere. What size is the new sphere.

I worked on it for days... Gave it to my Calculus instructor he had seen the problem before but could give me no advice... you cant solve it with a single slice through them all... but I do know some how its form of a ratio problem... and has a simple but not obvious answer.

did I tell you that I love word problems :th

I got all that until about the 3rd paragraph :lol: The only reason I passed h.s. math classes was because my dad walked me though the homework (he was an engineer). Math is not my friend.

Lol same

That's kind of funny. I struggled with math for years. Until I took an algebra class in college and it was like a light came on. I truly believe it was the teacher that made the difference...the college class instructor was excellent and made things easy to understand.

That's awesome

LOL... Each person has their own gifts... Their own brilliance... Yours is drawing people out engaging in conversation... Humor is a great gift... One that I can only sporadically use.

Math for me was intensely interesting... Yet I had to take Algebra three times to really understand it. Dad was no help because he wound up doing my homework for me... I was just a scribe... I took it twice in High school first grade was a D. Second time in summer school Was an A... alot of time passed and I took it again in Junior College... as a refresher. Thats where I discovered word problems...

I hit my ceiling in Calculus because I was not a good at memorizing ... I wasn't fast enough. Sigh...

I too went as far as Manufacturing Engineer without a degree.

The sky is getting dark and the wind has picked up. Maybe the weather reports are going to be right today with their snow prediction :(

Coming down hard and fast here, Debby. Rained all morning and that has frozen under the snow, with strong winds. Had to go to Cody to pick up Fiona and we’re crawling home.
