I did not listen to her. I do exercise. I can't run. I can barely walk. I do
dance. Not like I used to, but I do what I can. I also use weights.
 
I don't take in a lot of calories.
 
When my thyroid was out of whack, I could gain or lose without doing a
thing. Prior to that, the only way I lost was to take in no more than 1,000
calories a day and exercise to the point of exhaustion/injury. It just was
not worth it. Yes, I lost weight but I was constantly hungry and miserable.
I would have to go to bed and try to sleep so I wouldn't notice the hunger
pains. That's no way to live.
 
Now I am rarely ever hungry and overall, food just doesn't appeal. I still
like to cook. I don't like to eat.

If you didn't keep it off, it was moot.
 
I lost 30 pounds too. I managed to keep it off for a year but I grew tired
of being hungry all the time and eating mostly salad. Amazing how fast the
weight flies back on!

Yrs. I don't have that. My anemia relates to my ITP.

I live in a garage with no basement but it is climate controlled so I
can grind meat any time of the day. Instead of an ice box, we got one
of those electric refrigerators that keeps the same cold temperature too.

The battery operated are good for about 10 hours. With no power you
cannot recharge the battery then you are SOL. Same with oxygen
machines. We have a battery one but the same potential problem. I also
have portable tanks and can get 24 hours total out of the three of them
but in an extended outage, you still need power to fill them to 3000
psi, about a 2 hour process. At $300 a tank I'm not inclined to buy more
tanks when I can get a generator for $500 to do it all.
 
===
 
My nebuliser works off both, but I can't remember having to use it on
just battery very often.

Target sells several slushee flavor syrups right in the store. They're
actually on sale this week for $2.49 each, in the housewares/kitchen
section, near coffee makers.

Couple of weeks ago I soaked some pineapple, cut up, in rum. Then put
it in a blender with more rum and crushed ice. We all liked it and it
did not look like the artificial colors of commercial stuff.

That does sound delicious! I just happened to notice these "actual" slushie
flavorings on the shelf tonight on my way to the KitchenAid section. Or
rather, my 10 year old noticed them.

Yeah, but they're all HFCS and artificial flavoring (I guess that's
a different post of mine you heaven't read yet).

I love that fake wasabi so my guess is that I won't like the REAL wasabi as much so there's not much point in my spending a lot of time seeking it out. I did take a picture of some REAL wasabi though. Whoopie!

WTF kind of logic/fact is that? You somehow equate "Gluten Free"
with chemical-free, additive free, all-natural, and imply that if
its doesn't say "gluten free" that they're mis-labeling their
products and hiding ingredients!?!?
 
You're a Grade A USDA Prime Gluten-Free Nutcase. now you're making
your own signature gluten-free science based on the voices echoing
around in your head. You need an exorcism.

Why are you always capitalizing the words MONEY and CASH? That
seems contrary to your Anti-Mammon Worshiping philosophy.

You seem so dissociated with your own actions in relation to reality
that crystal meth is either the cause or the solution to all that
ails you. Screw that CBD Cuppa Plus Sinequan therapy you've been
thinking is making your normal. Its making you nuts.
 
Relevant Inane Atheist Religious Anecdote:
 
I was looking through my 3 "briefcases" of cassette tape albums
earlier today in consideration of trash day tomorrow, and between
Permanant Waves and Moving Pictures I found a small (very small)
ziplock baggie of white stuff. It glistened at angles unlike
cocaine (coke glistens like large, slightly iridescent snowflakes,
meth more like quartz in different stages of crushedness). A few
hours later my curiosity was peaked and I dumped out on my messy
desk for closer superficial inspection (OK, so that's an oxymoron).
 
Then I reached for my small flashlight to shine at it and two things
happened in that same exact split second:
 
I spilled a large glass with a small amount of water directly onto
the pile of white stuff and the electricity went out in the whole
neighborhood (898 homes).
 
What are the chances that I would spill water on a small pile (1/8th
gram) of white stuff while reaching for a flashlight in a fully lit
den just as we have our first power outage in 8 years? No rain, no
snow, no wind, no nothing - we have all underground utilities.
 
I turned on the flashlight on looked at the "damage". It's just as
I suspected - a Perfect Bullseye. So still curious (but pretty
sure) I stirred the little puddle of cloudy water with my forefinger
and tasted it. Sheeeeit. Epiphany Time. I seriously contemplated
Divine Intervention, my 37 years of Devout Atheism, and the
possibility that I would need to rethink my stance on Life, The
Universe, And Everything. It seemed like an hour (but was probably
about 6 seconds) and I came to one conclusion:
 
I stuck my face down into that puddle of water on my desk and had a
Slurpee! While wondering, "I don't think this is what Janet had in
mind when she said she was addicted to Slurpees a few hours ago".
 
Divine Intervention, Pbbbt. My ass. [as Jim Carey yells into the sky
at Ed Harris from his capsized sailboat] "Is that all you got!?!?".
 
Great, and I just drank 10 "cups of coffee" (Which is 10X more than
I've had in the previous 18 years since) and I have no electricity
for the next two hours... Duh. WTF do I do now? I can't wash the
ceilings, I can't pull up all the carpet ion the house, and I don't
have any fingernails worth biting. Or toenails. Maybe I should
have considered more than just Divine Intervention, eh?
 
EOT
 
And yes, I understand half may read this and go, "WTF?!?!?" While
the other half will find it amusing. And the third half will be
undecided. I write like this about other subjects not so much here
(once a year), but in another forum more often and get the same
reactions. And when I'm not "influenced" (I'm not really now eitehr,
I didn't even get out of bed until 3:PM due to my severe carpal
tunnel pain last night). But this anecdote may be a little harder
to relate to than most. I can at least look back at my past
drug/alcohol use and kinda laugh at myself. It's part of the
"healing".
 
ObFood: How about a smoked tri-tip sandwich with swiss, ahmahdo
(sp?) cheese from Spain (a sharp smoked sheep/goat), garlic-salted
beefsteak tomato, fresh grated and fixed horseradish, and mayo on
grilled rosemary sourdough bread. I smoked a tri-tip and a pichana
yesterday and didn't cut into them until today. It was heavenly.
So I made another one, this one is smoked pichana with provolone and
used Woebers instead of fresh garated horseradish.

It's unfortunate, but some people are the authors of their own
misfortune. We had a problem for a while with with long boarders. A
bunch of teens used to congregate by an intersection about a mile down
the road from out house. The road is wide enough for two way traffic
plus on road parking in both sides, and they seemed to think of it as
their personal skateboard park. They would be wheeling around, trying
stunts,falling, wandering out in front of traffic. I thought at the
time that it was just a matter of time before someone got killed. One
of them did.

They are as much a hazard to other bicyclists. I have had many near
collisions with other bikes on bike trails. The trails are wide enough
two, so on coming bikes can pass each other safely. I learned to hug the
centre of the trail because I had to many close encounters with pairs of
oncoming bikes. It is wide enough for two, not for three, and I am not
going to be forced off the trail. Stick to the centre and force them
into single file, then there is room for me to move over and pass safely.

I just us Samsung Notes for the list, not a dedicate program. It is
just a simple list
Bread

What I like about mine, is that it keep a list of things I have bought.
It can be helpful (at my age *cough*) to look down the list and see if I
need anything on it:)) That is the problem with my new phone! I can
enter a list but it doesn't keep the previous ones. I am sure you have pity
for poor old me? Just to say it is not a lot of lists, just an errr list of
all <g>

Lazy bum ! By the time my wife gets up tomorrow morning I'll have
bread dough rising in the pans . She works shitty shifts at Wm , doesn't
get off until 10 most nights . I let her sleep as late as she wants , if
it was noisy to mix dough I'd wait - Max (Doggus Maximus the Handsome
Hairball) gets me up usually around 5:45 - 6:00 (he figgers if it's
light he needs to be on guard duty) so I always time to kill before she
awakens .

I had no choice. I was given Latin for two years. Spanish would have
been my choice and useful over the years. My grades were too good for
either French or Spanish.

At least you had a choice! Our was Latin! Period!

LOL Feel free to do that if you make it at home for just yourself and
your wife. The person who scarfs down every little snacky appetizer
thing at a gathering and asks for more is not invited back.
