Here's something to think about. I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 60.) A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?' 'Oh no,' I replied.. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!' Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs? 'I said, 'Not much... My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said. He looked at me and said,... "Then, why do you even give a shit?"

Then I am a dead man walking. I eat lots of red meat.
God is always good!
I only eat as much of it as I can get.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. You'll live until 100; only the good die young. ;-) I don't drink, drug, smoke, exercise allot by swimming, bicycle and conditioning drills I learned in the Army and have a resting pulse of 58. I tuyrn 56 in less than two months. I plan to live until after 100 if I can, I'm enough of a trouble maker I am in the same boat you are in. ;-) (I eat meat 3-5 times a week.)
I eat some kind of meat just about every day. I can go without it a bit if I have to but I like it.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Roast chicken, crab-stuffed salmon, and prime tenderloin of beef are evening staples here. With the occasional link sausage and deep stuffed spinach pizza to complete the food pyramid.
Sounds balanced to me. Tonight is fish, spuds, n' herbiage.

Damn Lod, you just made my meal of Soylent Green sound so disgusting reading your coy, subtle boast here. (That's what my sister calls what I eat claiming I punish myself by eating way too healthy.) Tell the truth now, you do have a hamburger helper and leftover day or two mixed in with your life, don't you? ;-D

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Back when, my father raised beef cattle and would take one to the local packing and storage facility to be dressed, packaged, and stored for later consumption. Well, the owner of the facility fell behind on his electric bill and the power was shut off over a weekend until the account was brought current the next week. This did nothing to enhance the flavor of all the meats that he had stored. To this day my brother and I are about as picky as anyone can ever be about the quality of beef that we will eat; and leftovers? that's why God created poochies. Chow!
you ever wonder about "chow" as military slang for "food" and the chow dogs chinese raise to eat? lod needs a few weeks of homelessness and dumpster diving... that would make his "Roast chicken, crab-stuffed salmon, and prime tenderloin of beef, link sausage and deep stuffed spinach pizza" taste ever so much better, and lod might become thankful enough for his food that his poochies might have to eat dogfood. here's hoping things hang together long enough for lod to die peacefully, in his sleep, with a tummyful of crab-stuffed salmon, before he has to start eating his poochies. dont eat me, daddy!
That's the trick, and the plan. So far, so good; but the thieves in deecee and wall street are always trying their best to change it.
i guess if you love your dogs enough, it's okay to feed them leftover crab- stuffed salmon... ...you'd be operating on a corollary of my dad's theory that "food is love"... my dad was not much for philosophy, he was a redneck hillbilly world-raper, and when he said "food is love", i was shocked. and now i feel guilty every time i waste half a can of beans.
Having both parents and grandparents who made it through our first Great Depression, waste of any sort was not part of the program. We learned early on, if you put it on your plate, best you eat all of it.
you must love your poochies a lot.
back when i was young and rich and famous, i lived across the street from a pest kid... he was a cat burglar and a serious doper and poor... i caught him in my kitchen one day, frantically stuffing slices of bread into his face... slices of bread right out of the wrapper into his face, no butter, no nothing... shocking. he caught me on the back porch one day giving a can of albacore tuna to a stray cat, and he ridiculed me. now that i've become old, poor and infamous, i have to admit he had a point.
Yes, they're our children.
When I get older Losing my hair Many years from now Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I'm 64?

I plan on dying at 90 in bed with a 12-year-old blonde girl. Two of them, if possible, just like the rabbi in the Woody Allen film.
“No amount of reason, evidence, logic or rational argument will ever convince the true believer otherwise.”
i started living in that house neighboring the cat burglar in the early 80s, and after some atrocity committed by reagan, i vowed never to pay taxes again... so i quit working. i had some income from property payments, and some savings, but buying tuna for stray cats depleted me. early on, a neighbor dog started coming over, she'd sneak in the house and raid the kitchen garbage, and i'd chase her out of the house... then i started feeding her, then she moved in because her real folks worked all day and she was lonesome, i guess. when her real folks moved, they said the dog could stay with me... they could see she was happy. then i got poorer, and at the end, i was buying 50 lb sacks of dogfood for one shaggy little sheepdog, and 50 lbs of dogfood would last so long that the bottom of the bag had to have been inedible.
Losing my hair Many years from now Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I'm 64? Not even if you were one of the Beatles. ahaha.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Not if Shoonra and all of the other neocon Obamabots have anything to say about it. When health care rationing begins in earnest in the U.S. like it has in every other country with a government run health care system, her and her ilk will be the first ones to demand some sort of Logan's Run solution.

Yeah, I am afraid that those of us who are getting close(r) to the age to be thought of as "useless eaters" are also getting closer to "We'll give you some pain pills but no treatment. And we would like it better if you took all the pain pills and sleeping pills at once."
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Well with Obama Care everyone will have a shot at living to 80. And if that shot kills you sooner, that's money that the government will save in the future! Do your part, Support Obama Care. Euthanasia, not just for pets anymore!

Quite a story - thanks for sharing it with us. I only know one man who has withdrawn from the system, and he's been out since '69. He does maintenance work on our properties and is paid in cash. I believe that O'care is going to wake up many people to alternate ways of doing things, and conducting business in a different manner than in the past. We may be dumb, but we're not completely stoopid.
dont you think the boomers will be perfectly willing to "go gentle into that good night" if that's what it takes to continue to protect israel? i mean, let's get our priorities straight, here. if we got to kill off the boomers so we can afford wars for israel, so be it.
i think i lived in that house for 14 or 15 years... but i finally caved in and went back to work for a couple years... the dog and cat died, so i didnt have to hang around for them anymore, and i'd piled up some debt.
And if that shot kills you sooner, that's money that the government will save in the future! Do your part, Support Obama Care. Euthanasia, not just for pets anymore! Yeah, millions upon millions of babies have been murdered and now it will be old, sick people too. And then maybe people who "don't contribute to society." I think the goal of the elites is to kill off all but about half a million people to be their lackeys and serfs and lackeys and serfs don't make policies, only obey.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. gonna take a helluva lot more wage slaves than that to pay for israel and its wars, isnt it?
whassamatta you, GI? are you blinded by the light?
My resting pulse was in the high 40s when it was taken in January. I'm going to the Dr Fri. so I'll see if anything changed. I do regular cardiovascular exercise, but nothing extra ordinary, imo. Maybe I'm kicking out?
LOL. You must have a great VO2 max then.
My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!
