Exactly, It's like the stat cited that X% (I don't know the value) of women have experienced sexual harassment. The false assumption is that X% of men are guilty of sexual harassment. I don't think it does any good (either way) to paint with a broad brush. Cite specific incidents. But don't just "men do...." It doesn't…

Let's unpack this, you suggest that someone shouldn't feel something. Okay, so if someone said you shouldn't feel threatened when the bad man looks at you, are you okay with that? I just want to know the standard. Who gets to decide what someone should or shouldn't feel? Is it not okay for men to tell women what they…

Man, you were lucky (if there is such a thing on Chemo) as I couldn't stand to eat much of anything. The chemo gave me a hyper sensitive sense of smell, combine that with the constant metallic taste in my mouth after Cisplatin, and I was on a steady diet of starlight mints and Coke or Mt Dew for about a week after my in…

I think people confuse BMI with body fat percentage. When they read BMI, many erroneously think body fat. While there is likely a strong correlation, they are not the same thing.

The appeal to authority (or similar) is one of the logical fallacies. Correctness does not depend on the degrees or education one has. It's more likely that a doctor would know than the general public. But being a doctor doesn't mean one is wrong. After all, how many different diets are there? One can find a doctor to back…

Maybe you need a source better than Newsmax...

Agree. You might be able to fool yourself. - I could dress so I looked good at 260+ You might be able to fool others. - People would guess I was 30-50# lighter than my actual weight. You might be able to outwork your peers. - I was one of the fastest in my OMIL cycling group. It's harder to fool the lab. You cannot outwork…

My n=1 anecdote will confirm this. I lived in Germany for three years courtesy of Uncle Sam and recall this. I went through it again in 2012 when I took a three week vacation in Italy. Two things struck me while there: 1. Many Europeans loved the North American breakfast cereals in our first hotel's breakfast buffet. While…

Coffee is my pre-workout. My youngest daughter is a coffee master for Starbucks. We visited the Reserve Roastery while in Seattle over the holidays. The two of us managed to run up a $100 tab for coffee and chocolate during our visit. Well, at least before her employee discount. No, I don't have a problem with coffee :) I…

I believe the moon landings were staged, however....

Also, we stop spreading the consequences for poor choices to others. If you get fat and get sick from it, you are not going to get a disability payment at taxpayer expense. It was totally preventable by the person who choose to keep eating and not exercise when their weight was going up. As long as consequences are spread…

I didn't see any personal data. I did see the sort of phone, the date and time. I didn't see any name, userid, or other data in the examples of what was transmitted. So data was sent. How personal that data is is up for debate.

As you have read, the subject is complex. For me, I have to LIMIT carbs due to Type 2 diabetes concerns. So any carb I take in needs to bring more than just sugar. So fruits and veggies are fine (within reasonable limits) and some are "better" for me than others. I have to go more slowly with juices, sauces, candies,…

Vegetarian ≠ understandable. <- relax, it's a feeble attempt at humor.

I was thinking along the lines of the Car Talk brothers Tom and Ray that it be called the "Dope Slap" button.

I was thinking the same thing while at work earlier today. Seems many confuse disagreement with hate today. Just because I disagree, or have a different opinion, or am not as tolerant of expressed ignorance doesn't mean I hate the person. One can attack bad ideas without it being a personal attack on the one expressing…

Somebody gets what I said. I've traveled all over this nation, and a fair bit of the world. In some ways, you have to want fitness more here in the Midwest. It's not that it's not here, it is. But like was said, we have four seasons and you have to change it up as many things go indoors due to weather.

Never? Sure, we would all prefer advice delivered with kit gloves. It doesn't always come that way. Well, at least not good advice. There are those who deliver suspect advice with lips of honey. Sugary sweet bad advice is still bad advice. That's my point. Tone doesn't have much, if anything at all to do with the quality…

Don't sell yourself short. It's harder for us in the Midwest. It's not like there is a Kale Kitchen on every corner here. Instead, Fried State Fair Food has made it to the mainstream here. So I'd say a healthy sized Midwesterner is more of an accomplishment than the same person in Southern CA. We have much more to overcome…

Blunt and nasty doesn't mean it's wrong. Just like sweet and nice doesn't mean something is right. I'll take blunt and nasty correct over a sweet and polite lie or incorrect response any day. If the goal is to learn, then content means more than tone.

From back in the day (1980s IIRC) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjyluxYyRjw Pinch an inch...

on 14 Feb 2018 I had a fasting BG of 180mg/dL and an A1C of 7.3% Six months later, my fasting BG is typically 85-105 and my A1C was 5.1% I lost 50 pounds. My diary is open. I eat pretty much what I want, just not as much as I once did. My only limits are not more than 60g carbs/meal and 245g/day. Seldom do I exceed those…

Damn, now I want some KFC Fried Chicken...

Changed your username.... I think it was different before?

I do hope you share with him that you would appreciate a more professional approach, such as calipers and an actual measurement. If you are silent, he won't learn anything. If you just walk away, others may be subject to the same treatment. It's on him, I'm not saying otherwise. I do think you could do society a big favor…

OK, so the doctor's delivery sucked. If that's the worst problem you have with the doctor, you are doing better than 90% of people here. The vast majority of doctors won't say anything for fear of offending. Heck, my former doctor might have been close to 400# He died. Lesson learned. My new doctor was kinda wishy washing…

I avoid spider webs in the hair by not having much hair :)

It was exercise just to take the stairs when I was doing chemo. This is a question for your medical staff, not a web forum. I can tell you this, if you just spent the week doing inpatient chemo (bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin) it's probably not a good idea to try to use your helium balloons to change your voice for a…
