Agreed

What about that sunshine and water crap, t...

what's the sunshine and water thing?

It reforms itself back into a doughnut shape around your waist!

I like teasing vegetarians about all the bugs that died so that head of lettuce could be produced.

I am bad, aren't I?

Or the baby rabbits plowed under to sow the seed.

A dose of reality but some don't get it.

I had a vegan girlfriend once. Relationship didn't last.

I knew I could kick start it again

@vehve We have had some very intense debates on diets here - back when you were just a lad

GMO is another doozy

Home made Thai food for me for dinner. I am trying out a few recipes that I know I can get ingredients for next week on the farm. Our current husband and wife combo gardener and housekeeper gave notice so I will be doing the cooking until we find a replacement.

About 15 years ago I went on what I call a Lower Carb, Higher Protien diet. My revised version of an Adkins I guess. All I did was to cut my carbs to 1/3 to 1/2 of the daily recommended amount depending on the days menu. I added more protein by about a third more of the daily reccomended amount. I also added all the fresh vegetables and fruit I wanted. And I made sure I walked at least 1 mile every day. and 3 x's a week I walked 5 miles and 3x's a week I rode my bike 5 miles. The average time invested in any given day was about 1/2 hour to an hour. I felt great and lost 50 pounds. Alas though I have slaked off and put the weight back on but am working at losing it more slowly this time. I have lost 10 pounds over 4 months. Sounds slow but I noticed that it's easier to keep on track too. I've cut back on carbs just not as many, and added the protien just not as much, and exercise, again just not as much. A little more doable for right now. There are just too many health issues in the family background I want to avoid if possible.

So sorry about your DD2 chickadoodles! That must be awful for her. I hope you both can get off the steroids.

I am allergic to steroids. I would puff up but from anaphylactic shock. My throat started to close when I had to take it for allergic response. Ironic.

Thanks chickwhispers. I just don't think I can do more meat. I will bring it up to my daughter though. Thanks. Me too! I do have an appt. with a new Dr. Dec 4th and I am hoping for some new meds that will help.
I am sorry your allergic to steroids. Sometimes they are good for things.

Oz, I'm still a wee lad.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that they're leaving. I hope you manage to find someone who's willing to commit long term.

CC the sunshine water thing is a belief that a human can live off of sunshine and water, as I understand it... To crazy for me to bother researching, even plants need more than that.

Hey bobrut,

Funny post.

I made another two loaves of my Artisan bread. Best yet. Imagine learning something new over the hill of 65.
