OPEN BAR: I see you've come to PD. I too like to live dangerously

[minuspace]

So I'm playing in this tennis tournament - and the match today was the caricature of a Sardinian pantomime.  Not to coach the adversary in company trade craft, but that liability is only limited by clear demarcation between "wind-up" and "dissolution" periods.  Left washes right and...

I'm sure at least Mr. EraserHead noticed the Halliburton briefcase.  And, it should not take long for the doctor to realize his pound of flesh statement is on record.  Council was a little distracted, but it should sink in soon.

I fell off the diet wagon for a bit. I wasn't being a gluttonous fat bastard, but I wasn't sticking to plan and started feeling icky. Back on it more strict now for a few days and I'm already feeling better.

I know I don't have a gluten allergy or intolerance because well, I never feel horrid after eating it, but I do feel...less cranky and irritable when I cut carbs out. It could also just be that I'm balancing what I eat that much better. I do need more veggies though, so tonight I had bratwurst with sauteed green pepper, zucchini, and onion. I should really eat a salad also.

Veggie soup with beef broth might help?
All that sodium in meat might be making you cranky.

I actually don't normally eat a lot of beef or processed meats like sausages, it's just what I felt like eating tonight. Though I will say that I prefer an Italian sausage over a German one (holler.) Brauts are awfully salty though.

I don't recommend a low-carb diet for everyone, but it's what happens to work for me.

[Ben Shapiro]

I was referring to your crankyness  in general. Meat does contain  a good amount of sodium even If not processed. Im using calorie counter app to track daily intake of minerales and vitamins. Youd be surprised what has stupid amounts of sodium in foods one might think are healthy.

That reminds me of the pictures posted recently of the contents of an apple and the chemicals they naturally contain. 

MY GOD, OUR FOOD IS FULL OF CHEMICALS...NATURALLY. WHAT DO?

Purple Fraggle: Did you talk to Marie today?
Me (out with beers with classmate): No. What happened.
PF: (Midsister) just had another baby.
Me: Boy or girl?
PF: I guess she didn't tell anyone.
PF: As an extra special Mullen twist, apparently Marie's psychic told her a surprise baby was on the way for our family last month [well, yeah, Midsister breeds willy nilly in a large family. Odds are...] My mom doesn't know the gender or name.
PF: It's a girl no name. (Midsister) told Marie and (Twidsister) by text.
Aunt Marie, forwarding Midsister's text (I have not gotten a text from Midsister yet): Surprise I had a baby last night. A healthy girl. It was a shock to myself when I learned I was expecting [almost a year ago, but whatevs...]  and thats why I.didnt tell u guys. Anyways I havent slept at.all. I will call [everyone but Twid, I'm sure]tomorrow. I hope all is well ther and I will see u soon as im off.work for awhile [no, you won't because you never come to Boston. I have yet to meet any of your children except my first niece. I only know 25% of your 4 kids. Barely. Thanks for the fucking update, via Aunt Marie.]

[Nephew Twiddleton]

So, I have 3 nieces and 1 nephew. Cool, I guess? Way to go perpetuating the genes?

[Nephew Twiddleton]

My response to Marie: How nice of (Midsister) to inform me via you that I'm an uncle to yet another child I'll probably never meet. Sorry for the snark, but...

Like the ones people post about organic fluoride versus synthetic fluoride?

The average punter thinks there's a difference between chemicals and all the stuff that happens naturally.

Many of this same demographic thinks that humble unit of energy measurement - the calorie - is actually a measure of EVIL

For some reason they don't view other units of measurement, eg the centimetre or the decibel as being possessed of an inherent malevolence.

Just the poor calorie

This is interesting. Do explain more, because I feel there's an amusing story you're not telling us.

Also, said person needs to listen to Norwegian Satanic Black Metal cranked to 11 to learn how evil decibels can be.

I assume you've seen the countless clips where people are asked what a calorie IS. Answers range from amusing to shocking to outright insanity.

I should be reading my bio textbook but my immune system seems to be kicking back in and I feel like shit, so instead I'm picking out fall classes. I just discovered that I can take 300-400 level university studies geology classes to meet my geology requirement, so I'm thinking seriously about taking The Geology of the Oregon Country. How awesome does that sound? Plus it's online, so less stress.

If you have really hard shit to take at the same time, this seems like a plan.

I'm taking the first class of the A&P series, which is legendary for being exhausting.

I've actually heard, first hand, on reading the nutritional information on some food packaging "Oh no, I couldn't possibly eat this, it's got calories in."

The young lady in question actually thought calories were some kind of artificial additive that were put into food with a side effect of causing fatness.
