    Trudeau to resign

    English is challenging for me. I use to have a form book with White in the name. I should have kept that.

    "Douche", not "doosh".

    The Green Eggs and Hamas party.
  4. I am going to have to return my medal. Like Groucho Marx I do not care to be a member of any club that would have Hilary Clinton or George Soros as a member. Wait, maybe i got Groucho's quote wrong. Still, the sentiment stands.

    Strange. With all the years of heavy immigration under his Administration one would think their economy and housingn marke twould be stellar since we are told that imigration is alway a net plus for any country. Still, in spite of that immigration Canada has a tight and expensive housing market, high unemployment, and poor hockey teams.
  6. An unforgiveable oversight on my part.
  7. I notice he did not give the medal to George Clooney, Nancy Pelosi, or to Barack or Michelle Obama. I do think it would have been nice had he given one posthumously to his Uncle Bossey.

    This is just a shade under 12 weeks, not two. As for noticing effects, nothing as far as intoxication. I do notice I can breath better at the end and I sleep better after a week or so. When I finish I always notice how sweet tobacco smells before you light it, something that goes away in a day or so but something that reminds me of way back when I first started smoking.

    A Tesla Cybertruck has exploded at Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

    I am wondering about Turo. How does one get insurance for allowing strangers to drive their vehicles?

    Never heard of Aldi. Apparently there is one only 54 miles from my current location.

    On the rare occassions that I will visit the Safeway or King Soopers near me when I do this I only go through the produce aisle, meat, and dairy. 90 percent of the store does not apply to me when I do this.

    The rest of the year I do use this. I eschew it while I do this as I stick to the produce section of my local Sprouts. I get my keto bread in the baked goods section of my Kroger and I do not go near there while I do this. I suppose when I don't feel like baking my wife would pick me up some.

    I have to get use to pissing more often. Normally i go around dehydrated, but when I do this I consume a lot of water.

    Red beans seem to spike my blood sugar as well so I use them in moderation.

    I eat very little flour, but occassionally I like a sandwich. A loaf of bread easily lasts me a week. I do not eat muffins, bisquits, pancakes, or dumplings or any other manner in which folks eat flour. Just somebread for a sandwich every other day. Also no noodles or rice as they make my blood sugar go crazy.

    It is completely arbitrary. I never maintained my efforts strictly complied with the general guidelines or discription of what I do. I was asked what i do. I summarized, generally as there are no hard and fast rules to this other than no smoking. Thus far, coming up on hour 70 I have had no cigarettes or cigars, nor have I smoked anything else. I have consumed no alcohol or drugs. I have consumed no caffeine. I have eaten eggs ,salmon, chicken (skinless) broccoli, spinich, pineapple,green beans, peas, cantalope. oranges, onion, and carrots. Tomorrow morning I am likely to have one of the three yogurts i have left in the frig before I head out to work out. I am planning a spinich salad for lunch with smoked salmon (I know one could argue that is processed but in this case I smoked it), pineapple, blue berries, onion, broccoli, pea pods and whateveer else is laying around in the fridge. The Packer game will be tough on me as generally I like to watch with a few beers, a few cigarettes or a cigar, some buffalo wings, and a bit of blow if they win. As that does not comport with my current effort I am going to have to struggle through.

    My humor detector is presently all jammed up as i go through some withdrawal. I'll be better soon.

    Some sure does. If you are looking for inconsistencies i am sure you could find them. This is not a religion or a philosophy. It is basically the guidelines of, and a rough discription of what I am doing and have done in the past. The hard and fast rules are no nicotine and no caffeine.

    I was not going there. Frankly the incessant attempts by each side to count coup when there has not even been a fight is off-putting to me. I was just noting the somewhat unusual procedural mechanism to keep the first vote open, technically.

    He won on round one, but with an asterisk.

    In the last 55 years of smoking I have stopped for 5 years once and two years once. I also managed six months a few times. In the end I always return. Even after the five year stint I still was a smoker in my dreams. I have no illusions about the damage I have done and the cancer risks. I do know this, however, after taking a time out for 2000 hours my blood oxygen goes up and my chest x-rays look better to my doc and she does not hear the pre-emphysema rattle in my lungs. Also, when I inevitably return to smoking I do so at reduced levels, at first. I don't get to the worst of it for several months and then I start over. At first a half pack a day seems to suffice for a couple of months until I ratchet it up, inexorably to a pack a day or more. Getting off caffeine is always a week long headache. After, though, I end up drinking a lot more water which is good, it gets things flushed out, a bit. I did try vapes for a bit. I may go back to them. Not as expensive or stinky as smoking.

    If it is sold in a cellophane bag, a box, a can, a carton. If it comes with directions for preparation. If it is a combination of multiple ingredients If anywhere on it there is a brand name. So no DeGiornos, Tostitos, Diet Mt. Dew, Blue Bunny or Ben and Jerry's. No Cheese. I do allow myself Fage zero sugar yogurt. I also get eggs, salt, tobasco, and wheat and rye flour. Also the bags of beans I buy technically have a brand name but they are in no way processed.

    It is not a challenge. I don't preseent it to others on youtube or tic tok nor do I encourage others to join me. Just something i do to clear out my lungs and kidneys and liver before engaging in yet another year of profligate debauchery which is my natural and preferred state. i note that the coughing usually starts around 1 week in and it takes until about the sixth week to hack all the stuff out of my lungs. I find i start processing fat a bit more efficiently around the sixth week as well and usually can drop a bit of weight the last few weeks of this. Just passed 60 hours and already the withdrawal from tobacco is easing, though the weekend is now upon me and the first weekend or two can be challenging. I pretty much have resolved that I cannot go out for a weekend or two. Also, I notice that already my truck does not smell of cigarettes.
  24. Can't they take him to a farm upstate where he can play and frolic in the sun with the other ex-presidents?

    I liked when the orfficer was speaking with Dispatch and gave the address of the location and Dispatch replies with "Oh, at the Dunkin Donuts".
