Shameless,,,,,,,,,,,,

How's your legs doing?
How's your back doing?
It's good to know that you're KIND of watching your diet.
Do you drink green tea?  It's really good for you.  The secret to green tea is to get the water just boiling, e.g. when it firsts starts with little bubbles just coming up, that's when you pour it in the cup.  Steep the tea from 1 to 3 minutes.

Leave that 'purdy' machine alone for now and get yourself in tip top shape for the coming season!!  We're all looking forward to seeing you at Hutch!!  Be well my friend, be better!

NO you do NOT !!!

an that watching your diet thing. I don't get it. I mean it's ok to stuff as many bacon double cheese burgers up until you're like 65, then all of a sudden somebody like flicks a switch er sumtin cause if ya have just one more, you're gonna heal over?  Isn't the damage already done at that point? An that purple tea iz supposed to fix it?

somebody enlighten me.  Thad? Haven't heard no bull frpom you in a while. You scared of thet machine? That why you been keepin to yerself down thar?

Shameless?  What was his coordinates again?

Thad prolly gettin  them hunny~dew lists...  those things that list what needin to be done... and he's tryin to figure out where they all comin from... there wasn't but a few just a few years ago on his short list...   and now don't have time fer us...

Ole JC is correct. My honey do list is big. Complete remodel of the house one room at a time. I’ve been a carpenter for over 30 years and she’s the toughest customer I’ve ever had. She is doing a lot of the work also. She’s been spoiling me with lots of good cookin. Right now she’s makin homemade manicotti. Ain’t no tellin what that is??
Shameless hit us good but had his mix off a little and it’s all ice. One of them Canucks left the door open and the ice ain’t melting very fast.
She buys me coffee flavor m&m’s.
I’m quite happy and over worked these days.

I just guess I never looked at it as work.....it wore me out, but it was NEVER work....

Yes joe I’ve got lots of experience removing popcorn. I keep a garden sprayer just for that. I made too much of a mess at home so Jenn took over. 😬😬😬👍👍👍
The spray works good on some but some that has heavy paint over it is a real pain.

'popcorn' ceiling is a textured ceiling application. Essentially it's lumpy drywall compound sprayed onto the ceiling. It's a fast,cheap, easy way to 'finish' a ceiling as it hides a multitude of sins,like 'wavy' ceiling joists.
Very popular up here in the 70-80s during the housing boom..PITA to get rid of no matter HOW you attack it. I've seen guys tear down ceilings with it. Actually FASTER.Demo crew is cheap and offsets the pro drywall crew. Also if you're going to re-light the ceiling,makes that real easy( and cheaper).

my legs are kinda disgusting looking, my feet grew from size 10-1/2 to size 14, and my back hurts 24/7, best way I can find to tone the pain down is one hydrocodone and one extra strength Tylenol, washing them all down with a little wine! yeah...o-k...maybe a bit more than that. but it works most of the time. been sleeping in my lift chair alot, seems to help too. been walking farther and farther each week, but then I gotta find a place to land fast. lost 57 lbs, put 13 back on, and now on the way to losing that and more. have had a few smokes here and there, makes me a bit friendlier with the city bots and some wayward village idiots that pass thru. otherwise i'm doing fine!

Cutting carbs is a common strategy to quickly drop excess water. Carbs are stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen, but glycogen also pulls water inside along with it.

For every gram of glycogen you store, 3–4 grams (0.11–0.14 ounces) of water may be stored with it. This explains why people experience immediate weight loss when switching to a low-carb diet, which reduces glycogen stores.

Carbs also lead to a rise in the hormone insulin, which can increase sodium retention and reabsorption of water in the kidneys.

Low-carb diets lead to a drop in insulin levels, which then leads to a loss of sodium and water from the kidneys.

Dale, I assume you didn't make it to Hutch either?  Maybe next year we can both be there to play with grease guns and eat peaches!

Glad to hear this Shammers, you be headed in the right direction. Diabetes 1 or 2 is a pain in the tooter.

I've heard bits and pieces of the KETO thing, can't find it on the shelves anywhere, is it a drink mix or a pill? i'm back to eating the vegen diet again. I like the fruits and veggies. I do stuff a steak in there once and awhile tho!

Shamer all you have to do is type Keto in and you will get is on your computer and the special offer they have waiting for you free samples
