Nope. The war was a great motivator to go to and stay in college. Many
I knew joined the National Guard. I have a small circle of friends, and
most are vets.

You "seem to recall most"... not the most reliable statement, wouldn't

But, see, I don't have a low tolerance level. Or, those things just
don't even get through to me. My husband brings in the mail, we sort
it for his and hers, junk stuff with our name gets shredded or the
label torn off and then thrown in the recycle. No bother.

I never looked into ACA.
I have the AARP Medicare supplimental plan F. Its cost depends on
which state you're in. your age, and you must be enrolled in Medicare
parts A & B, plus you must be an ARRP member. Plan F gives the best
coverage in NYS. The Medicare part A & B is not very expensive, I
remember a little more than $100 deducted from my SS check each
month. Plan F costs a bit more than $500/yr. Membership in AARP is
negligible. some $25/yr.
What I know for sure is that I pay nothing for any doctor visits. even
Specialists. I pay nothing for lab work. I pay nothing for ER. In
hospital procedures are free. ARRP's mail order pharmacy, OPTUM Rx
charges very small copays and many drugs are free. It's my choice to
use Optum Rx or a local pharmacy, I use both. If it's a drug I need
right away like an antibiotic I go to the local Rite Aid, Mail order
can take a week to arrive but I find mail order works well for all my
regular Meds.
I used to get Medical Insurence for free from the company I worked for
but since ACA was instituted they stopped paying, most companys
stopped paying for retirees plans. Fortunately my company picks up
the tab for most of our short fall, they mail us a yearly check.
I've noticed that the prices of Rx drugs have been dropping for about
a year now.

If you're running, say, a 1000 calorie/day deficit to lose weight quickly
when you're done you've got to adjust back up to some sort of maintenance
plan. That certainly is "going off your diet", and that's where a lot
of dieters fail. They know how to eat badly and they know how to starve
themselves, but nowhere in there do they learn to eat sensibly.
 
You and Gary both have succeeded. If everybody succeeded, the term
"yo-yo dieting" wouldn't exist.

So would I. I'd rather diet at a 100 calorie/day deficit, by cutting
way back on carbs (and swapping in brown ones for white ones). Then
the difference between dieting and not dieting is about one slice of bread.
Instead of dieting, you're just eating differently.

Mine didn't. I was in my 20's when I went on the diet. I have been pretty
much the same weight now since my 30's. I'm 59 now. My thyroid, pregnancy
and breast feeding did change things temporarily. Now I'm back to that same
weight.

My metabolism slowed but I'm still the same shoe size as the day I got

In standard English (not medical usage), "excoriate" means to censure or

Perhaps excoriation would not have the impact you desire.

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.

Sqwertz <sqwertzme@gmail.invalid>: May 29 02:31PM -0500

I smoked all three food groups on Monday: Beef (pichana and
tri-tip), pork (sirloin chops), and chicken (thighs). But didn't
start eating any of it until yesterday.
 
Breakfast was smoked tri-tip on toasted and buttered English muffins
with fontina cheese. Lunch and dinner were also more roast beef
sandwiches - combinations of smoked tri-tip and pichana, swiss,
provolone, and ahamado (a sharp Spanish smoked sheep+goat cheese),
garlic-salted beefsteak tomato, Fresh horseradish, Woebers
Horseradish, and mayo both on grilled rosemary sourdough bread.

Someday I might even eat the chicken and pork. When I run out of
smoked beef.

Everything has tasted "funny" (or not at all) for a week or so. And
I was having really bad carpal tunnel pain. I finally had the nerve
tests done and I'm as bad as it gets - it's even worse in arm that
doesn't hurt as much, according to the electrodes.
 
I was supposed to smoke that stuff on Saturday. But kept putting it
off since I didn't want to eat. Then Tuesday morning I ate some
baked beans at 6:AM after being up all night and they tasted almost
OK. I went to sleep then woke up 3:PM hungry and started on the
roast beef. And I haven't stopped since.
 
How do you downgrade to pork and chicken after eating smoked the
last 3 meals? :-)

I seem to recall most research studies into turmeric's active ingredient,
curcumin, were badly flawed.

LOL I have to agree. I have nothing against Jell-O but I've never have
liked Jell-O with fruit in it. If I had my druthers I'd take a scoop of
vanilla ice cream. :)

I've never had a Manhattan. Nor one of Sheldon's Crystal Palace cocktails.
 
I don't keep a lot of lemons around but when I have a specific dish in
mind I'll buy a couple. Sometimes I want the juice, sometimes the zest,
sometimes both. It depends on what I'm making.
