  11. Diabetics, come on in

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    I hear you on the issue. From what little I know about it diet seems to be a major factor. Also weight, which is also a byproduct of diet.

    Firstly at least 3 if not 5 meals a day. Not big ones but at least something for the body to work with. Avoid "Starvation or Hibernate" modes.

    Cut carbs and avoid white bread like a plague. Stop soda pop even if it claims to be diet or low calorie. Increase fiber in the diet.

    Still on the fence over beer although alcohol does metabolize as a sugar.

    Exercise alone will not help you loose weight. A pizza after a workout makes the workout pretty pointless. Being a little hungry all the time is the key.

    Cuts in A1C can be done in just a couple of months doing this. Which is pretty cool since A1C is supposed to be a three month averaging kind of number.

    Hope this helps.

    I think the site wants you to host your photos on an external site and just insert a link to them. Saves on storage space. I guess Google photos can work for that. 

    Seems to work better, even if you use google or the like...

    Nobody ever dismantles a working motorcycle.

    About ten years ago [Andy Pugh] took possession of a large box of rusty parts that formed most of what had once been a 1921 Ner-a-Car motorcycle. They languished for several years, until in 2014 he was spurred into action and returned to the bike. What followed was a two-year odyssey of rebuilding, restoration, and parts remanufacture, and since [Andy] is an engineer par excellence and an active member of theLinuxCNC community his blog posts on the subject should be a fascinating read for any hardware hacker with an interest in metalwork.

    Wife and I probably should've cancelled on the spring epic ride last year.  We live 30 minutes north of I-70 and barely 30 minutes east of Indiana, so we had over a 2.5 hour ride home in the sub 50 degrees pouring rain, and without rain gear.  We bought FrogTogs before our gap trip last summer, so lesson obviously learned.  You made the right call skipping, the ride was fine until halfway through the ride route, from then on it was soak city.  

    I didn't own a rain suit before that ride. And of course it stopped raining as soon as I got home.

    I bought a rain suit as soon as I warmed up and dried off after that ride, kinda like an anti-rain charm.

    Even so, New Concord to C-bus in the rain was interesting to say the least.

    The Best Road Trip Ever, According To Science.

    a1c2e539c33e7c160d18d8bbf83ab1cb_12.jpg

    Recently, scientists devised the "perfect road trip" - a colossal trek through all 48 continental states that visits 50 different landmarks. What makes this route so special? It doesn't really matter where you live. The map is essentially one big loop around the country, so just hop on the path in whatever state you live in. You might have heard of or visited some of these landmarks already, but others you may not have ever heard of. The route is curated in such a way that it takes you to the sights everyone talks about, like the Statue of Liberty or Grand Canyon, while also showing you America's lesser known treasures along the way.

    And so, it begins...

     

    Allegations of voter fraud and missing votes. Faked coin tosses etc....

    These are some of the comments of fellow Democrats no less. Perhaps they need voter ID's

    Is this any more real than the Kardashians?
