Tonight my wife prepared garlic and herb crusted Cornish Game Hens with brown rice and quinoa.


While honest and true, "It's life sustaining" is NOT the correct answer to the question
"It's good, what do you think?"o_O

I usually don't eat lunch preferring to just wait for supper.

Today was different. I thought about fixing myself a hot dog.


I started looking through the fridge for the weenies and found
numerous tubs of mystery meat, leftovers from meals days and/or
weeks gone by, but no hot dogs.

That was odd as we had hot dogs just last weekend so surely
there should be some still in the fridge.

Then I remember my wife commenting on the weenies saying she did not like the ones
we had and remembering she was feeding the dogs treats later the night we had the hot dogs.

Now she is a weenie snob preferring to have Nathan's over all others.


Knowing there should be franks in the fridge but finding none I deduce
she must have fed the offending links to our mutts.


Well now that just did not set to well with me as I don't discriminate against dogs at all.
In a mildly heightened episode I emptied all of the little tubs of leftover penicillin
from the fridge. Anything that did not have a 1/4 inch of crust on it was promptly fed to the pooches.


That did make me feel some better but as my k9's sat full and napping my stomach
started growling. What to do?

Enter the GRAND MAC


I've been wanting to try these ever since I saw the first add.
They taste like an ordinary Big Mac but are the size of a Burger King Double Whopper.

It was good although a bit messy with the additional secret sauce and all.
I would eat them again. Next time I probably will just get the big one as it
is easier to handle and less messy.

Shhhhhhh don't tell anyone. I'm supposed to be following a 1600 cal diet.
With a full breakfast and the Grand Extra Value meal I'm pretty sure I've
surpassed that and dinner has not been served yet.

1600 kCals hmmm read these books:
Gary Taubes Good Calories, Bad Calories (meta analysis of nutritional research)
Gary Taubes Why We Get Fat (more accessible distillation of the above)
Gary Taubes The Case Against Sugar (history)

http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2548255

Apparently there has been a Tobaccoesque skewing of medical research regarding sugar. The smoking gun was found in a Harvard University Basement. This article maybe more accessible than the Internal Medicine Journal: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/well/eat/how-the-sugar-industry-shifted-blame-to-fat.html?_r=0

Finally Alzheimer's Dementia is frequently being referred to as Diabetes Type III as more research is coming in. So feel free to go back to using Deodorant and Al pans.

Thank you for this helpful information. I will take a look and pass it on.

My 1600 cal diet is self imposed. I know I could lose 50lb and will feel better for it
but the diet I'm following is my wife's.

Her Dr., nutritionist and trainer have all told her the best way to ease her arthritis pains
is to lose weight. The Dr. recommended a 1200 cal diet but the trainer told her that
1600 would be ok and and it would help abate the starvation feelings.

I agreed to eat as she does so the junk food she can not eat would not be in the house.

As a side bonus I am losing weight too.

So if a Grand Mac and fries have to be ceremoniously concealed it really is not a big deal.

I understand Lokie. Most people on a traditional Western diet could use losing a few pounds, me included. But calories in/out is a losing proposition. Hope this helps.

So, my promo offer from Xfinity internet for $20 per month was over in December. My January bill jumped to $49.95, so that, February and March were accumulating. I called comcast billing and after charming the agent, I asked in which State they were located. They told me Florida, I wanted the Philippines for reasons that will become clear. This agent, an older black woman, was nice, firm and well-trained. I know, because I used to manage call centers and I was damn good at it. She told me in four distinct ways of why nothing could be done about my bill amount and current internet payment. I told her that she was sweet and helpful before I asked for a supervisor. She skillfully tried to divert me from the supervisor to no avail. Of course I got the machine and left a cheery message. I looked at my notes from last year and noticed that this was a repeat of what happened then; no go in the States, but the Philippine's office was a push over. I figured their billing calls rolled out of the US past 7pm or so, so I called at 8pm. I got a nice agent whose English was better than my Tagalog, so I can't really complain. I told him what was up and that I was tired of switching between them and their competitor each year. If they would just extend my promo offer and waived the overage of the higher rate that accumulated, we'd be all set. He put me on hold and got it done quick, except the higher balance was still owed. I would have gladly paid that as my rate was staying at $19.95, but I felt froggy so I gave it a shot. "You forgot about the higher past due amount, let's take that down to $19.95 x 2 and I'll pay it right now." He did just that, and we're all set. American jobs overseas may not be great for everyone, but it certainly worked out well for me...

We go through similar shit about every 6 months with cox cable. It's no wonder they call themselves cox because they sure are dicks. They keep wanting me to upgrade to the higher speed internet. I don't.
I do think they are throttling down the connection I have now, on purpose, because it sure is not as fast as it was last year.

Fuck em right in the pussy.


I'm pleased you came out on top.8)

I can't understand tagalog at all. Had a phillipino gf for a while. But, never knew what she was saying when she spoke to her sisters over the phone.

Silly woman said she was afraid of losing me. Then walked out a few months later. No explanation. Nothing.

Ah well.
