Getting Old and Accepting My Limitations
They (I don't know who they are) say that the first sign of a person getting old is when the eyes start to go. My eyes started to get weaker a few years back, not by much, just enough to cause me to have to use reading glasses when I am sitting in front of my laptop too long. I never gave it much thought, because I am down…

Vitamins make me feel too full to eat.
When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is put a pot of coffee on, and then take my vitamins. I feel so full after taking them, I don't want to eat breakfast.

Are Cashews the Devil?
What's the story behind the Cashew hating? They seem to be almost exactly the same as Almonds, but everyone says that Almonds are good for you when you are losing weight but Cashews are bad. What's up with that?

Traveling with supplements...
If you take vitamin supplements and travel, how do you carry them along with you? I find that Fish oil and Calcium sups are really big and don't fit in those small vitamin cases you can buy from CVS, but my BCAAs and Chondroitin capsules look exactly alike so I cant put them in the same container without mixing them up.…

Finally cleaned out my closet
Yesterday I finally went through my closet looking for cloths that no longer fit me. I had shirts with 17.5 inch neck and pants with 40 inch waist. This might not seem like a lot to some people, but I am only 5.7 on a good day, with the right shoes. I used to body build and competed in the 165lb class. So this is a lot for…

Cognac drinkers?
Any other cognac drinkers out there? I have never been one to drink the cheaper brands like Courvoisier or Hennessey, I have always leaned towards Remi Martin VSOP or XO or older. Christmas Day my cousin poured me a glass of Hennessey Black. I loved it. It's only aged 2years but it's as smooth if not better than most VSOP…

Habinaro peppers?
Do you cook with them? I do. Love them in my chili. Problem is preparing them. When I cut into one I start to choke and can't breath. And the barbs stay on your fingers for days.
