Good for you! Muscle tissue is heavier than fat. Scales don't tell the whole story. One can judge progress by undressing in front of a mirror!
I've done that. I try not to do it if I can at all help it. 😁If it's muscle tissue, it's hiding under the fat.🤔 I know that I'm stronger than I was before, but I'm also bigger. I had to get a larger pants size, and a few of my XXL shirts don't fit anymore. I'm almost afraid to try on my Cowboy vests.🤠
Discouraged? Yeah, a bit. But I'm not giving up on myself. I just promote myself as one of the Old, Fat Guys at the Gym.😍

I think we should just have a “History Month”. This is where history, real history, is taught and promoted. Novel idea…teaching history.
They can't have that. Next thing you know people will start thinking for themselves and voting with their heads instead of what the 30 second sound bites tell them to.

Remember, there is someone for everyone out there.
For you it's a therapist.
After dealing with Alpo, I'll bet his therapist needs a therapist.

I see "Dr. Axe" and red flags go up. He's usually considered a quack trying to sell his pills and books.
I don't know who "Dr. Axe" is, his is just the first article I came to. I've read other studies that have negative things to say about Sucralose as well as Aspartame. When I mention it to my Dr. he agreed that Stevia is the best of the artificial sweeteners.
I drank Diet Coke and Pepsi for over 30 years, and while I lost a few pounds when I first switched to Diet soda, it certainly didn't help keep the weight off. From the studies I've read, I'm convinced that my Diet Soda intake is, at least in part, one of the reasons I'm as fat as I am.
Since I retired, I've started eating healthier because of the Diabetes, eating less, and going to the gym three days a week. I've actually GAINED weight. But except for the Diabetes, I'm ridiculously healthy for my age. Blood Pressure is great, heart rate is great, Cholesterol is DOWN into the healthy range, GOOD Cholesterol is up to where my Dr. wants it.
I applaud anybody who wants to get healthier, whatever the reason. Whitey James asked the question, and Widder mentioned Splenda. While I'm certainly no expert, I haven't played one on T.V., and I've never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, I thought I'd weigh, (
) in.
And after their response to the 2020 Zombie Apocalypse, I have little trust in what the FDA, the CDC or the WHO has to say about anything.

I like oatmeal and sweeten it with SPLENDA.
My tea is sweetened with SPLENDA.

Not such a good idea. "Sucralose may increase blood glucose and insulin levels: Sucralose may negatively affect the very people who are using it to decrease sugar consumption and stabilize blood glucose levels. A study found that sucralose increased blood glucose levels and insulin levels while decreasing insulin sensitivity".

Some fresh fruits are good for you. Apples, pears, berries, bananas and grapes. For your salad, if you prefer Ranch Dressing, Buttermilk is best. As for pasta, Whole Grain is okay. It doesn't have quite the texture of egg noodles, but it doesn't have the starch either.
If you're going to eat stuff that's not so good for you, (french fries), get an air fryer instead of deep frying them. Air frying chicken patties is good too.

Looking to overhaul my diet to better control my type 2 diabetes
Other than salads, what is your favorite diabetic friendly meal and favorite snack?
Turkey sammich on Keto bread's not too bad. Popcorn is okay. Breyers has a Smart Carb Ice Cream. Peanut butter is good for us, I mix it into my Steel Cut Oatmeal. Instead of sweet tea, (probably my biggest regret), I add Stevia to my tea. It's not as good, but it's not bad.
One thing I stay away from is "Diet" or "Sugar Free" Anything. Aspartame or Sucralose do Bad Things to you.

I'll never understand why they harass the top guys and let the schmucks do whatever little they want.
Because when he was at that level, HE was one of those schmucks. He had a boss that was one too, which is why he's where he is today. And if you're around long enough, you'll see him promote one of the new schmucks to Boss, while keeping those that do the work doing the work.

Oops! Sorry Sarge. I forgot to mention that I also made a wooden clamp to hold the frame so I could screw it back and forth to get the barrel out.
Also, unless you absolutely need to fully disassemble that gun I wouldn’t unless you are a masochist. It’s truly one of the hardest guns that I have seen to reassemble.It wasn't that bad. I've dealt with worse. The hardest part was getting the trigger where it was supposed to go. While I didn't disassemble the trigger group, I did remove it from the frame. I really needed to get all that rust and goo out of it. When I first got it, it was so gummed up that when you pulled the trigger, the hammer just slooooowly moved. Now, everything works, it's just that front sight.

Good find, Sarge.
For any not familiar with the model, here's a link to a decent article - I wish I had one!
https://revolverguy.com/the-high-standard-sentinel-r-103/
Read that one. Mine is a similar model, but the aluminum frame has a painted type finish, and the barrel and cylinder blued.
Here's the Gunbroker pic. It cleaned to to look a LOT nicer than it looks here. Probably why I got it cheap. I got all the rust off and cleaned a lot of gunk both from inside and out. It's a nice little gun, but I really need to straighten the barrel out.

Anybody here know much about these guns? I recently picked one up on Gunbroker, and while it works okay, the barrel has rotated in the frame to the point that the front sight is visibly right of center. From what I've read, the barrel is a press fit to the frame. The frame is an aluminum alloy, while the barrel is steel. The frame is heated and the barrel cooled until they can be assembled. Then a crosspin holds the barrel in place.
Anybody ever disassembled one? I like this little gun, but I have to aim at the right edge of a paper plate to hit the left side of it. Being a cheap guy, I really don't want to spend a couple hundred bucks having a Gunsmith fix it if I can do it myself. I'm hoping that I can heat the frame with a heat gun enough to rotate the barrel straight.
What say you?

The only thing I get on fakebook for is the Marketplace. I swear that most of the people there are dumb as a box of hair.
I see something I'm interested in, Message the seller, and don't hear back from them. Mostly for days, sometimes EVER. I can see that they've seen my reply, but they don't reply back. My thought is that if they have something listed that they want to sell, they'd get back to me.
If they finally do, I'll ask where and when I can see the item, meaning I need a date, time, and address to meet them, and I get back something like, "I'm on the South side." I want to message back, "Well that's real helpful", but I figure that they'll be too stupid to figure out what I mean.
There HAVE been a few positive experiences there. Just last week I got my daughter an entertainment center off there. The whole transaction took less that three hours from first seeing it to unloading it at her place. But mostly dumbasses.

At 18 I bought a used Winchester 170. Similar to the Marlin 60, tube fed .22 semi auto. I don't remember what I did with it, but it's long gone.
First handgun was a Ruger Security Six marked, "Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty". Later, I traded it for a Colt Commander. That one got stolen.

Super Bowl means…. Nothing , today someones city will wake up destroyed by "fans" that set such a great example for kids, cheering for a team that don't care if they woke up this morning.
My sentiments exactly. I've made no secret that I have no interest in watching sports. The rabid fandom of so many people about such things is one of the factors that drive me from it. My wife and I spent the day watching Youtube videos on the T.V.
The only positive thing that I take from the game being over is that I don't have to hear about it for the next eleven months.

I would venture to guess that very few people are actually writing a paper check.
My wife and I have separate "checking" accounts, though neither one of us has ever written a check. It's all done online or with a debit card these days. Our accounts are linked to where either one of us can transfer funds between them, and our daughter's debit account is linked to my wife's. If our daughter needs money, (car repair, or some other unexpected expense), my wife can simply transfer her money to our daughter, or I can transfer money to my wife, then she can transfer it to our daughter. Our daughter then pays it with her debit card.

I'm curious. How common is it to see people open carrying in Phoenix for example? I'd guess it's much more common in smaller towns in rural areas. Do most open carriers use something with more retention then regular open top holsters?
8 hours ago, Sawhorse Kid said:Very common site to see.
Every manner of holster can be sited if your looking.
While I wouldn't say it's common, it's not unusual, if that makes sense. I don't see it every day, but often enough that it doesn't raise any eyebrows. Well, except for the tourists. But even they don't get upset, they just want to know what the legal status is, (are you a Cop?, do you need a permit?, etc.) As for holsters, Sawhorse Kid has it covered, I've seen cheap nylon, leather, kydex, just about anything you can imagine.

Still remember some lady taking a sharp turn away from me when coming out of Kroger as she realized there was a gun on my hip. I was just there to get some milk and burgers, geez.
Here in Arizona, in 30 years of Open carrying, I've only had one or two people act negatively toward me when they saw my gun. I caught more crap for not wearing a mask during the Zombie Apocalypse. Yesterday at a Walmart, I had two people compliment me on my gun, and another lady came up and THANKED me for carrying it.

This is something most people don’t know or understand. All of the electronics and emissions stuff that has been added in the last forty/fifty years was initiated because the average car owner/driver doesn’t take proper care of their vehicle. Many of these have given a bonus of better mileage and performance and mostly improved dependability. It has also quadrupled the cost of repairs and production!!
I think that you have it backwards, Blackwater. Government Mileage Standards caused car manufacturers to start all the electronics and emissions stuff that has been added in the last forty/fifty years. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that the manufacturers were perfectly happy with people tearing their cars up and having to replace them every few years. Most people STILL don't take care of their cars. They just put gas in it and go. When something inevitably DOES go wrong, they blame manufacturers and/or the Government for making their cars so complicated.
Anybody younger than about 60 doesn't remember the days of 10,000 mile tune ups, changing points, plugs, and condensers, setting timing, or adjusting the carb. They just expect a car to not need anything for a couple 100,000 miles.

I'm going to go a different direction than everybody else: I open carry. It's perfectly legal and done often enough that it doesn't bother anybody. In fact, I almost always get complimented on it. I'm not trying to start the Open Carry Vs CCW argument, just adding to the conversation.
I'm a fat guy, at 5' 10" and nearly 300lbs. As you can imagine, unless I wear a tent, CCW is not easy OR comfortable, (the much vaunted Appendix Carry would probably Gut me), so I rarely do. When I do, I carry a Taurus 85, (.38, J frame size), pretty near Small of the Back, butt facing outward. This is under a vest, and it works well for me. Sometimes a simple Pocket Carry if I'm just running a quick errand.
