It's 6:40. It's already all foggy again.

Yeah, roads tomorrow morning are going to suck.

Everything is already frozen out here as well. They changed our high for today to 30. It's not supposed to get above freezing until Tuesday. I'm figuring that since the roads are decent now, they might be decent tomorrow, but the phones from work are forwarded to my phones just in case. HEB was a zo...

I don't mind the taste of mushrooms, it's the texture that gets me. Yech. Like 90% of the foods I don't like are due to texture, though. I pissed my mother off royally at a restaurant because I refused to eat the fettuccine alfredo because I didn't like the texture of the cheese. They had freshly g...

Things that'll really mess with you: I didn't know that meatloaf was typically tomato-based growing up. Ours was made with cream of mushroom soup. Yeah, that'll get me for sure. I projectile vomit when fed mushrooms in any form. Something in my biology that they do not agree with. If I ever end up ...

Well, the way I understand it, they need to swab your brain to do it right. I can see where a large segment of the population might need this method then.

Particularly up around DC....

Don't use the map application/service that comes stock, download one like Osmnd where all the map data is stored on the phone so you can still navigate without service.

Dunno about Apple Maps, but you can download map data for Google Maps.

Yeah, but you still have to remember to download it!

I normally keep an atlas in every car. Nothing like missing your turn in the middle of nowhere with no cell service and ending up 1.5 hours further than you should have been... Well, with a BEV and some solar panels you could make 15 miles for every day of charging. In your neck of the woods, that'...

Hmmm. I seem to remember my parents having a yellow plastic box with maps for all 50 states that fit perfectly. I wonder if anybody would still make something like that. After searching, it might have been this box, with 15 maps covering all 50 states: https://smile.amazon.com/Close-up-USA-Plastic-...

I wonder when that graph was made.

I apparently live in 5 and 7 just by virtue of the fact that I'm still working and our area didn't really shut down like others.

Wait...you mean I shouldn't plan on being able to harvest enough prickly pears to last for a year? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The Native Americans in your area had what they called "Second Harvest". This was the act of going through their own feces to gather up and re-eat any seeds (calories & protein...

Hey all, The Prepper Website just released the podcast interview with me about foraging for survival. Want to live off the land by eating plants? You better be living in a pine forest! Check it out here: The Prepper Website Podcast: Foraging for Survival -Blast (Mark Merriwether Vorderbruggen) *loo...

Merry Christmas to all, and to all who are breathing a sigh of relief that the interminable Christmas music is over for another 9 months or so a good night. Nope. There's still the 12 days of Christmastide. Not over until January 6. :lol: Plus I'm one of those who listens to Christmas music randoml...

Fruitcake. You're allowed to call it fruitcake.

Merry Christmas to all y'all as well!

I am eating some carbs...judiciously... But I have now lost 10 pounds in two weeks. My blood sugar has dropped a good 30 points (on average). I am getting into the *rhythm* of Keto meals. My go to for snacks is either fresh fruit (berries) or pork rinds. I still have a soda every day as I am a Dr P...

I've also been following your news. Did notice the current data estimates more numbers in spread of the new strain but necessarily deadlier. Good news. Though 70% faster spread could also mean a significant increase in death even if it's not deadlier. And hospitalizations. Therefore more strain on ...

Lamby, you are eating a proper keto diet, not just a "Meat good" diet, right? The one I follow is 7g or less total carbs per meal (they don't count sugar alcohols, but do count fiber still), made up mostly of veg, at least 20g of protein, and more fat than protein. You can get a 30-day trial subscri...

Well, my blood sugar is still raging out of control. Dammit. I have been following a basically vegetarian diet. I ate maybe a 1/2 lb to 1 lb of meat a month. I was not losing weight. My blood sugar and blood pressure still going wild. So, this morning. I switched to keto. I will spare you the groce...

I still kind of want to visit Japan one of these years. It used to be mainly because I wanted to see just how much taller I was than the average Japanese person, but lately it's mostly because I want to check out the food vending machines. I blame the switch on me watching a bunch of YouTube videos...

Ahhh, ok. Well, diet-wise, things are quite confusing right now. Between the diabetes diet books my doc gave me, the American Diabetes Association website, numerous other websites catering to diabetics, diabetic forums, recipe sites, etc., most of them contradicting what the others say and sometime...

Wait...whut? People still have data caps in this day and age? I haven't had a data cap in about a decade. :shock: This is why we’re no longer on satellite. Their cap was 100GB...which we hit in a week, normally (4 adults, 3 of whose are heavy streamers). We’d be getting decent, not always great spe...

I am trying to go with the highest protein, lowest carb foods I can find. Also lowest fat as I gotta take off these pounds! There are many spectacular nutritionists with interviews and podcasts on YouTube and other podcast providers. It may be worth listening to some while doing chores. I've been q...
