Ours are clean, as it rained last week. They'll get cleaned again mid May, or sooner, if it rains ... ????

Hmm ... guess (I'm) supposed to be eating more than I do. Daily food goals Dietary guidelines have shifted away from daily food goals measured in servings. Instead, they now focus on daily food totals that are measured in cups, ounces, or tablespoons. The daily goals depend on your health, sex, and age. For example, for moderately active adults ages 66 or older, men are advised to eat 2,200 calories per day; women are advised to eat 1,800 calories per day. Here are the daily food goals for those diets. Vegetables: 2.5 to 3 cups (2). "Aim for a variety of vegetables and try to include those with different colors, for different phytonutrients [beneficial substances in plants]," suggests registered dietitian Kathy McManus, director of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital. Go for dark, leafy greens like spinach or kale; vibrant yellow squash; or bright red tomatoes or peppers. Legumes — such as peas or beans — are included in the goal for this food category. Fruits: 1.5 to 2 cups.(1) Options include berries, peaches, cherries, kiwi, or other fruits. Whole grains: about half a cup.(3) "The word 'whole' should be the first ingredient listed when you're choosing breads, crackers, and cereals," McManus says. Poultry, fish, or meat: 5 to 6 ounces. (12 oz)"That's up to 42 ounces per week. Try to make 12 of those ounces seafood," McManus advises. Dairy, such as milk or yogurt: 3 cups. (2) "But the Harvard School of Public Health disagrees. Research shows that one to two servings [one to two cups of milk or yogurt] is sufficient to achieve good health," says Teresa Fung, adjunct professor in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Healthy oils: 1 to 2 tablespoons.(2-3) Choose oils such as olive, peanut, canola, or avocado. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/new-thinking-on-daily-food-goals

35 is better than 30, but still way down compared to when I arrived back in Sept/Oct 2000 Hope it stays at 35+ till after SS drops in my account this week, usually the 3rd (Friday) ????

Good thing I'm not an alky or need a higher power, as don't believe it exists. Don't think anyone needs a higher power, to do anything or quit doing something harmful. One is simply a 'drive' to do it, and concerning the latter, just common sense. If something is a negative in your life, stop doing it.

Is it really a negative, as if something goes missing on your build, there may be a vid of it.

Again, the machines aren't the problem, people are and always will be. Beaches I swim at, usually have swimmers & jetskis partitioned away from each other. Enforcement can be iffy, though I've never seen a jetski enter a designated swimming area. Can't say the same about people swimming outside of, putting themselves in harm's way. If not designated areas, obviously an intelligent person isn't going to swim where the jetskes are operating from. Again, at beaches I've been to, jetskis have never been a safety issue. But then again, I never let the kids play in traffic either. Not that they don't deserve the bad rep at times, but it's never been about swimmer's safety. Just renter's safety after receiving their bill.

I consider pizza, homemade, one of the healthiest, filling meals you can eat. ... dough does not need sugar ... neither does the sauce, and tomatoes are one of the healthiest foods ... Parmesan & Mozella, also 2 of the healthiest cheese ... meat topping, if any, is the only iffy part, though again, choosing wisely, or homemade, eliminates a lot of the 'over' processing done by packaged meats. Not that nitrates & MSG per se are bad for you, as what you don't take in, your body will make it's own. Though packaged meats definitely go OTT with their additives. Same with cholesterol, and your liver probably produces the worst. So adding good cholesterol to your diet is both filling & healthier than avoiding most times. Just easy on the trans/trigs and easily avoided.

Oh, you're one of those, thinking you're more important than staff. Did you wai them when entering ? Or felt they weren't worthy. That explains a lot. I hope you thought about it the whole time you were there and it ruined your dining experience ???? Maybe they didn't wai you because they remember you from previous visit. As stated earlier ... respect is earned.

'offendng the public morals' ... as if they had any.

Alcohol has never been a problem for me. Only the dumb krap I did while using, days past. Don't bounce like I used to, so try not to do stupid sh!t any more, A work in progress ???? I drink alcohol, because I enjoy it, not because my body needs it, physically or mentally.

What y'all are saying is, if not a Christian, or will be after a few steps, then you can't quit being an alky using the 12 steps. What if you were a Christian (when ignorant) and now realize it's a farce, how can you do the 12 steps, as no way will believe in a higher power if you already know you were mistaken before.

Nothing but excuses, as many prosper, that didn't come from money, or get a patronage job. But they actually attended school, paid attention, and applied themselves. Lots of excuse, but no reasons to fail in life, except not trying. Maybe a failure, maybe the next Starbucks, but if one doesn't try, one never knows:

OR ... one of the drivers simply had a health oops, heart attack, stroke and crossed over, and that's why they are called accidents.

Curious after the first class, 5 minutes of, and the professor pointed out the obvious... ... that's a penis ... that's a vagina What would the rest of the classes and semester talk about. Maybe 9 months of deciphering and debating the alphabet.

True, and always had fun over there. Though don't think I'd get the same or as many smiles back now, from the 25-30 yr olds, as I did when I was 45 ???? Still some fine looking < 50 yr olds over there ????

Understandable, as private hospitals here are not inexpensive at all.

If western women thought we were millionaires, they'd be easy also.

Voted cost of living though daily cost food, housing not really. But lack of any RE Taxes, and affordable, accessible healthcare makes it cheaper for a yank live here. Food and petrol isn't really cheaper here vs USA, or wasn't 20yrs ago. Since I don't rent, housing was about the same 20 yrs ago, and could easily find something comfy in FL for instance, for < 3 mill baht. and they actually have homestead tax, so not bad .... but. hurricane season. Most other places, high RE Taxes, so after house paid for, taxes cost same as renting here. No taxes or healthcare premium (monthly) is almost the cost of living on the cheap here. Solar & EVs are a lot cheaper here, along with access & cost @ charging stations. So a major plus, now, since having. Along with friendly trade partner of China, close & affordable. All pluses. Can afford to live in either, just have more pocket money here. Just bored with the USA, after 45 yrs of nanny state, embarrassing foreign regime policies and now woke...NO THANKS. Family & settled in, comfy houses, and now nice area to live, keeps me here.

Do you need a uni to teach you life might not be fair, or consenting adults, may disagree on what makes them happy. If you don't realize that before getting out of HS / puberty, then uni isn't going to help. I thought people went to uni to learn skills and get educated about things they didn't learn before going to.

Impressive. I would expect that to be in the 80-90%. brackets, if not more. What teenager doesn't get depressed every now & then. How'd they ask that question ... 'Do you ever get depressed ?' and who could answer 'no'.

Uni s teaching things you actually need ... go figure. Do people at a uni level need to know, some people have more skin pigmentation that others. Isn't that HS biology class, far 1 day maybe. Also HS level should have taught, all nationalities when immigrating centuries ago faced challenges. Or taught men and women man have sex with other consenting adults, that may or may not be with the opposite sex, or with both, or not at all. Are these skill sets needed in the corporates world.

Only job I had, longer than a few months, allowed you to trade shifts. So you and a coworker, would trade shifts, and you'd work doubles/16 hr day, yours & their shift. Two doubles, and one single, if you wanted, or you could actually give that away to someone wanting to work extra shifts. Which I usually did, so I worked 2 days a week, for 32 hr work week pay. Which was beneficial to me, as I had side businesses, or simply travelled/holiday'd long weekends. It was an airline, so flights were almost free, $20 USD for first class, and you ate & drank that much during the flight. It was great, and you could actually work a week of doubles, and take a week off, or just give your shifts away. Last 6 months there, I commuted from TH to USA, and was actually here/TH, more than at work. 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, and then burned all my sick time before leaving the company. Main reason I worked there was for the travel bennies & healthcare, the latter I never really needed. Traveled all over the USA, using 'Yahoo chat', remember that. Hook up, fly to see a chickie, stay with them, visit the city, had a blast. Did that for about 10 years. Great for recon for retirement planning also.

Holy Buddha, they're freakin' everywhere ... ... IN THE HOUSE ???? Damn Ruskie on my veranda ... and hell yea, we got into it. Called my an idiot for believing the western propaganda ... ... after he saw the Stoli in the frig ... ???? Jokin' aside, seemed like a normal enough comrade to me. Dating one of the wife's friends, and having a get together at the house. Did we talk politics ... HE Politics, religion, I just don't care. Though if Russia for or simply not against the UA conflict, then I guess we'd agree on the subject. Tall, thin, lanky fella, and actually thought he was French (not sure why), till he talked. Not the Ruskie mob muscle head bouncer build you see on TV.
