City of New Orleans - Arlo Guthrie

I know right?! I can't stop watching it. The guy on the skateboard :laugh: I wonder if they're supposed to be these guys:

Gah. If you don't test, there's no way to know. I can tell you this for sure though, without the temporary pain of a needle stick as needed through out the day to keep my BG's on track, I'd have a great deal of MORE painful things to endure in my future. Guaranteed.

I wasn't going to comment on this, but this may help put things into perspective. If I remember correctly, OP recently re-started MFP about 2ish months ago I think. I remember the original post, because it was *just* as long haired & OP lost that 100#'s by doing VLC & a ridiculous amount of exercise. He had a similar zig…

I suppose you've never heard of cardio being catabolic in certain scenarios?

seriously *Forest Whitaker eye* TL;DR cue Oh Nooooes

Whew. I thought this was written as it happened to OP :laugh: No more coffee for me today.

Either I'm having a major case of deja vu or I've stepped into a wormhole bringing me back in time 2 years ago. I remember distinctly reading this here on MFP before :huh:

It looks like I'm the only one confident in my ability to have a long & healthy life, barring getting hit by a bus :laugh: I also am free of diabetic complications & plan to do all I can to maintain. My mom's a nurse & she loooooves to talk to older people. She's particularly fascinated with octogenarians who have been…

It's about trends. If you've got good control otherwise, the occasional medication that raises you, isn't usually much of a problem. Is it acceptable?...that's personal...and for me, NO :angry: It makes me cranky if I have to do something that jacks up my BG, especially when I expend so much energy trying to keep it low &…

I know that wasn't meant to be funny, but when I got to the last part, it struck me as hilarious :laugh: That's Friday for ya...just makes me giddy :blushing:

Agreed. Also, I'd give up on that 'pass or fail' thing you've got going on.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :drinker:

:laugh: and this......

add me to the list of TL;DR beyond the first 2 loooong paragraphs :blushing: To be fair, I read everything, but have begun to lose patience with multiple paragraphs that illustrate the same point OP is frustrated with -__- Sorry OP :flowerforyou: Some unsolicited advice....shorter posts & straight to the point please.…

I make a homemade chicken stock from the carcasses I collect & toss into the freezer. Then, when I have a good bit, I toss bones into crock pot with a splash of vinegar, a bit of ground turmeric carrots, celery stalks, onion, garlic & a few whole pepper corns. Once the stock is made (a good 8 hrs on low usually does it for…

I use a milk frother I got from Amazon....looks like this: It's quiet & the only issue I had at first was not causing a whirlpool & whipping the coffee OUT of the cup and alllllll over the counter. Admittedly, DH still hasn't gotten the hang of it & prefers to use the magic bullet instead. Even with the milk frother, you…

whaaat?!

#doing it wrong

YOU are one smart cookie! :heart: OP; this sounds like a very sensible approach.

omg...that's my mom too! and you're right, it's not hurting & they seem to like the hamster wheel thing :blushing::laugh:

kids are grown and not often home...so, yep. as the day I was born :laugh:

shave his belly with a rusty razor shave his belly with a rusty razor early in the MOOornin'

Avast! But I pose the age old question to ye... What would you do with a drunken sailor? please phrase your answers appropriately...um...thanks...I mean....and smartly me land lubbers...Tis the day of the Fri and all :blushing:

My mom is the same way. It's her hobby to try fad diets & makes her feel relevant I guess. She gets to kvetch in the usual manner & when I try to talk sense to her, she says 'Oh, let me have my fun'....so I figured, why the hell not? :laugh:

Can I get the short version on this? I've mined through a ton of threads & got lost in the gifs :blushing:
