  1. Bahahaha no chance of stone lezzies here. Just good looking enough to interest men but not enough to be porn stars. Though an only fans or some other web cam duo was our back up for lawyer rate income when we were both in our 40’s. Ok Sorries. Back to the war effort….
  2. Not to take away from your sentiment but a lot do save because they might need money for a lawyer, a coyote, help a family member, etc.
  3. There are tons of resources for the anti-inflammatory diet on the googles. Oh yeah if its not on that list it’s strictly off limits.
  4. Hahaha, maybe we just threesome instead. You know like John Lennon peace and harmony imagine all the people. Shit like that?
  5. I'll add that I did some calorie counting and holy shit a heaping plate of vegetables even with the oil and the lean protein for dinner, 800 calories is the max I could get to. as for the health side of it? a lot of it you can't see but my blood work was absolutely perfect and my blood pressure was under 120/80. the rest of the benefits don't show up until later in life when you are still kicking it healthy wise.
  6. We are emphatically opposed to buying another Tesla. But for now this will have to do…
  7. I'm in a mood today - lots of sex on my mind - must be my hormones I dunno. but I'm seeing the jokes everywhere. braisen, bold, don't give a fuck, come at me broh. everyone should get laid tonight, tell your ladies or men I said so. it's a fact.
  8. My god I’ll be honest if I took an IQ test and it said I was only smarter than 447 people in a room of 1000 I would kill myself.
  9. Hey man I dunno what’s going on here but I was like a whole other person in 2008 like literally so leave me outta it. Kthxbai!
  10. these foods are so fiber rich and the exact opposite of calorie dense I don't think you really have to worry about it. I would not go crazy on meat and dairy especially at first. but as long as you are heavy on the vegetables at dinner a 6-8 ounce piece of chicken isn't going to mess you up. and you will be full on cooked broccoli or sweet potatoes long before you max out on calories. I had heaping plates of sweet potatoes and green beans and I was just too full to keep going and then I had my resistant starches for the next day. If I was going to do this diet again for weight loss, I would first focus on eliminating the bad stuff and only eating the good stuff. I would not limit portions at all. I would go all in on it and eat as much as you want - BUT I would make for damn sure you were at zero added sugars and no animal saturated fat. Don't cheat with that honey peanut butter at HEB, don't put a smidge of butter in your oatmeal, don't pinch some brown sugar in there. don't. do it. 4 weeks in of no added sugar and no animal fat, then take a look and see what's going on. In theory you could be eating too much but again once your body is off the shit, it has a lot of room for good carbs and a lot of room for good fat. If I recall correctly I also added yogurt later, I definitely added milk later, so limited dairy for sure at the beginning. on meat - I'd not go past one chicken breast for dinner, or on pork tenderloin I would have 5 or 6 slices. Fish an HEB filet even if 1.5 servings is fine. I would not eat those meat servings twice a day. whole grains does not mean whole grain pasta or whole grain bread, I mean oatmeal, museli stuff like that. strict is the key. a month in you might find like I did that I actually craved certain healthy foods. my go to's were roasted okra, watermelon, grapes and potatoes. god I would just devour potatoes.
  11. if you don't make eye contact it's ok.
  12. we are so fucking old now. sweet jesus.
  13. well, I was focused on not harming a recovery (and so I added low histamine to my diet which kicked out a lot of spices), but I think most spices are going to be fine and are anti-inflammatory. so you could actually get really creative with the cooking especially if your household would buy into it. I was alone in that diet so it didn't work as well. on a low histamine diet even garlic is off limits, avocados, tomatoes, a number of fruits - all citrus, beans, legumes, the list goes on and I don't want to drudge that up, so what meals I described above is more restrictive than an anti-inflammatory diet. what is exactly on point though is the base description of lean proteins, nuts, seeds, limited dairy, eggs, fruits, good oils, vegetables and whole grains. That's exactly anti-inflammatory and our bodies (I think) crave this diet.
  14. yikes. fascinating. and I thought I was a walk on the wild side (yes that's a Lou Reed reference). I need to get out of my surly thread ruts and venture out more often.
  15. no it's Excel Communications!!! you to can own your own telecom company!!!
  16. i'm really afraid to ask more.
  17. when I google search -- what is "MFCDG" -- nothing except this thread comes up. what is MFCDG?
  18. pretty sure I don't have a curved dick, I mean I could check again if you want me to be absolutely sure, but kinda like when the nurse says "how do you know you're not pregnant?" and I smile and say, "I'm sure."
  19. I didn't have the energy to really learn to cook on this diet, I was really, really sick when I was in the thick of it..... but here's some typical meals: breakfast: - smoothie - spinach, organic peanut butter (no sugar added), dates, peaches, bananas, oat milk. - yogurt with berries - plain yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, sometimes grapes, nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashews), seeds (pepitas, sunflower) - small bowl of muesli with oat milk (look at the ingredients, there are low added sugar brands out there) - eggs and leftover veggies the night before (often potatoes - resistant starches (chilled and reheated potatoes are one of them) are great for gut health) lunch: - left overs from dinner the night before - eggs if not for breakfast - raw veggies - cucumbers, carrots, radishes, celery - fruit - watermelon, apples, pears, peaches, cherries favorite snacks: - fresh okra sliced and baked with salt, pepper, olive oil and dash of cayenne (I'd eat as much as I could until I wasn't hungry) - popcorn - organic nothing added except healthy oil and salt - that smoothie for breakfast if I didn't have it for breakfast - spoonful of almond butter. dinner: - chicken breast pan sauteed, broccoli, poatoes, green beans all boiled or steamed then pan sauteed with garlic, oil, salt/pepper - pork tenderloin roasted in the oven, sweet potatoes and squash (cooked the same as the veggies above) - fresh fish pan sauteed with asparagus and carrots and rice (veggies cooked the same way as above) - big garden salad with all the veggies I could throw in there - micro greens too! make a olive oil based vinaigrette. - 4 oz beef filet usually in a steak salad for a cheat. filet because it's lean. desert: - WATERMELON!!! - GRAPES!!! - sometimes that yogurt bowl above. - I would sneak a spoonful of honey peanut butter from HEB (2g of added sugar) if I just had to have a sugar hit. - maybe another smoothie but with the honey peanut butter instead of regular. late night snack: - if hungry and my added sugar was low enough and I didn't have cereal that morning I might sneak a bowl of museli or cheerios with oat milk. I later added mootopia HEB branded milk which has less sugar and I used 2% so less fat too instead of oat milk. too much milk would throw me off so I would not do cereal, smoothie and cereal again in one day. my dinners were large portions. I'd cook as much broccoli and potatoes as I could eat along with my sensible cut of protein. I'd eat a whole sweet potato (peeled and cut up). 2-3 eggs at a time. lots of olive oil. the absolute key is to watch dairy/animal saturated fat and added sugar. you really have to have your added sugar at near zero - I'd say even actual zero for a few weeks. the carbs in my diet were plentiful and they are harmless even good for you until you have too much added sugar, at that point it all seems to go rancid and weight gain is inevitable. but with virtually zero added sugar, the natural carbs become a non issue. I devoured potatoes and fruit, lost weight without trying.
  20. so here's the thing - what is a nazi anyway? elementary school thought is swastikas, ugly old dude with a stupid mustache, genocide against the Jews, invading Poland, hyper specific to Hitler, the specific salute in question. Now there are Nazi elements in the Republican Party ... for sure... that utilize these symbols. and there is no doubt among reasonable people that the gesture he gave was in fact a Nazi salute. But the question remains what is a Nazi? What is Nazism? and I think when that is addressed it gets really chilling around these parts. As I understand it, Nazism is a subset of fascism where the political beliefs also include a racial or ethnic superiority. So what you have is a political party (fascist) with an intense focus on nationalism, strong military, talk of invasion or conquering other nations (panama canal/greenland), leadership and power concentrated with one person, with authoritarian views and policies and a belief that one group is better than the others and political action taken against the others (Nazi subset of fascism). With Hitler it was extermination of Jews and less well known disabled, LGBTQ, etc. Today, we have a deep blame and hatred toward immigrants calling them all criminals and thugs, a blatant disregard for LGBTQ folks, or at least the TQ folks, muslims, and a call to preserving culture, European and White culture in the US and Europe. All of this with callous disregard for the welfare of US citizens who are caught up in this hate, and even more disregard for non-US citizens. Musk has cozied up to a leader (Trump) who espouses these beliefs and policies and both of them have been on the record with claims of White and European racial and ethnic superiority - in the form of extreme degradation of other people and cultures that "threaten" American or European culture. people exclaim "he's not a Nazi!!" and in part that is because they agree with Trump or Musk but mostly because they are applying an elementary definition to what is a Nazi. They don't see themselves as Nazis because they don't give the salute or they don't think it's cool or appropriate to actually kill TQ folk or Jews, don't think an invasion makes a whole lot of sense, but they generally like the religious laws, they turn a blind eye to the treatment of others, generally supporting it, and they support a strong man candidate who engages routinely in fascist beliefs. To me, if we noticed the salute, but focused more on the substance of what Nazism really is, the picture is much clearer. No, Trump and Musk are not advocating for the mass genocide of Jews and the invasion of central and south america en masse, but together they are intensely focused on American nationalism, there has been talk of invasion, a desire for a stronger military, Trump has pushed the envelope of concentrating power for himself against our standard governing norms, and he punishes anyone that doesn't agree with or let him have his way. Meanwhile he's focused intense hate and ridicule on large groups of people on the basis of their ethnicity and sexual identity. And while extermination by genocide isn't his preferred method, he is taking rights of citizenship away from TQ folks and he is relocating people without deference to their humanity splitting up families, trying to strip kids of American citizenship because they are brown and those kids parents were not here legally when they were born. It's certainly fascist, and it gets damn near close to Nazism when you add the racial and ethnic rhetoric, and Musk is right there next to Trump. And it's with that backdrop that the salute becomes much more chilling and concerning.
  21. so is this where I ask for political favors as an oligarch?
  22. two things get you nixed for me - is that swipe left or right I dunno - certain politices and Amway. my folks loved amway, did it like 3 different times together and in an odd cosmic cycle did it another couple of times once divorced ... at the same time. fuck amway. ugh.
