Not liking that last statement AT ALL Andria!!! You are a much loved member of this thread. I would REALLY, REALLY miss you should that occur!!

Well, I've wanted that several times in my life, but this stupid body just insists on waking up, wanting some liquid recycling -- just as soon as some is removed, it demands that more be consumed.

Frankly, there's only one compelling reason I haven't taken more active steps to make it happen: my personal belief in karma and reincarnation, and that suicide means BEEEEEEP! go back to start, do not collect $200 or a new set of karma, but DO THIS ENTIRE SHIT-STORM OF A LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN.... and that prospect has about as much appeal as having a 2nd appendectomy without benefit of morphine or anesthesia.

I tried drugging myself to death first, but the repercussions of a druggie's lifestyle are just too uncomfortable; then I tried drinking myself to death, but all the nausea and vomiting makes that one especially unpleasant; finally gave up the coffin nails, mostly because when my dad died, I saw firsthand what a smoker's death looks like and it's just flat horrible, so when vaping turned out to be a legitmate way of actually ditching that addiction, I jumped on it. Having finally beat all those addictions, I may have a good chance of a much better life, next time around the wheel, none of these addiction issues to drag me down like a fucking millstone around my neck. Maybe I'll even have *nurturing* parents and thus no serious emotional baggage to cart around for the rest of that life and get in the way of almost everything good. I'm getting close to 56 yrs of this shit, so maybe I won't have much longer to endure it, without needing to take the shortcut and doom myself to repeating it all. I have to wonder if maybe that's part of my awful karma this time around, that I ended it prematurely one or more times already, and have just been chasing my tail trying to finally rid myself of this karmic load; I've made a lot of mistakes, sure enough, but hopefully I've learned something from all of them.

Afternoon Fugees, lovely day here, mid 70's. Inspected two Harris banks, wish I could have at least inspected the vault for a few minutes, but they didn't want the vaults inspected, dammit.....

Ohh some banks have wonderful vaults with bales of money stacked around. Been there.

Nope I was in a great big headquarters type vault that was giagantic prolly 10,000 sq ft. Had to go theur double vault doors to get in only 1 door would open at a time, etc.
My job was to run a new phone line in there.
That was difficult.
The ductwork was even armored.

Well, that's why I said "at least I can still visit in this thread." But at the moment, I am disinclined to burden you all, my last remaining haven, with the details of the dire extremity of my sadness, for fear of alienating y'all too. I just thought it was really neat, how a little animal seemed to pick up on it, especially since she's far more a daddy's girl than a mama's girl. I figured that to her, I was merely the Door Opener, and pet-giver when he's not home.

I had to dump my Achilles; that very old WTA tasted really bad. I'm not sure it's worth it, to get into the bottle in the freezer; it's 100% VG, so I don't know if it's possible to syringe any up out of the bottle, even with a 12ga needle. But I don't want to get the bottle out and let it reach room temp, for fear that I might not then be able to put it back in the freezer for further long-term storage. Since I don't use it regularly anymore, I'm afraid it might mean that the entire 15ml gets old in the cabinet and is wasted; it's much too expensive to waste.

Chopdoc, that's mighty pretty bread. Isn't it weird though... in England, they call something that looks a lot like that, a "PUDDING." I've always eaten pudding from a bowl... with a spoon. Not sliced it and put butter on it!

Yeah, after 3 nights of poor sleep and too-early rising, I think it's time to take my dramamine for the evening and turn in within the hiour, and hope I can sleep tonight. I wonder if it's because it's been so unseasonably warm, and I still have heavy winter covers on my bed. Maybe I should remove the top comforter.

[chopdoc]

If you look at it Inspects, carbs isnt the culprit when it comes to heart disease. Cholesterol is what creates arterial plaque that causes blockages.

Happy Valentine's day everyone.

Minor note here for any concerned. I am going to be a little more withdrawn
from public aspects a bit. Need to attend some tasks which I genuinely need
to apply myself. The tasks are nothing horrible, illicit, nefarious or otherwise
ill natured, merely they are doing what a person needs doing. Thank you for
your kind comprehension and consideration, hope to return to being more
active soon.

Happy V-Day ladies......

Morning fugees, have a great day, after you GFY......

Duh carbs Andria.....Doc had heart surgery. Carbs from bread are duh worst I can think of.

Umm.. the worst problem with hearts and the cardiovascular system is *cholesterol*... of which baked goods have a *little* but not a real lot. Carbs are where ENERGY comes from, as they're more readily metabolized than protein or fat. Sounds like you've drunk the koolaid about carbs.

Good morning all Happy Valentine's Day to me...the f-ing microwave died!

AACKKK!!! Fate worse than... having to cook on the stove! Last time my microwave died... MY STOVE WAS ALSO ON THE BLINK! I was truly up shit creek! So I called my mom... she saved us, with a cheap new electric stove from Sears outlet, to replace the ancient gas monster, and a new microwave from BrandSmart; wasn't quite as many watts, but it WORKED.

And today is 4 months since her death. *sigh* I dreamed of my stepfather last night, that I took him shopping at the mall. Weird. But I guess it denotes that I'm a bit closer to him now, without my mom there.

Today is also my half-year mark for sobriety, so it now stands at 24.5 yrs. Yay, somehow I made it thru all the pain iof losing her, and didn't drink. Truly a miracle.

I get a chuckle out of some dietary beliefs. Like the gluten free stuff. Only about %1 of the populations suffer from the disease of the intestines that requires a gluten free diet but 10's of millions of people go gluten free because it is the latest fad. I care less if glutens are present or not

Glutens are actually essential for most folks, they help us digest.... hmm, something that doesn't leap to mind at the moment. I have a distant cousin with Crohn's, I think he's supposed to eat gluten-free. But he's 16 yrs old, so he mostly gives a middle finger to dietary restrictions, and suffers the consequences.

But I SO agree, people are ready to believe anything some "expert" says, no matter how ridiculous it is. Carbs are the best source of energy, and vaping is 95% safer than smoking, I don't care how many "experts" blather something ridiculous about either.

People eat low-carb diets (Atkins diet) if they're fat, because it FORCES their bodies to burn that fat, it burns easier than protein. But I'm not really terribly fat... maybe 15 lbs.
