  1. In the end, diabetes management all comes down to Diet. No amount of drugs, pills or snake oil will do the job if you refuse to stop consuming carbs.
  2. Yesterday it was against the Indians. Today it is (again) against the Jews. Apparently, the unwashed have a perpetual need to hate.
  3. You are on the internet posting the message above mine. They are listening and recording.
  4. I gave up my personal and business Facebook accounts when they censored Trump. Best to leave on my terms, rather than theirs. My last internment in Facebook Jail was 30 days for this...
  5. Sadly, we have to favor Taint popcorn.... tain't gonna be tonight. It bugs her IBS and bugs my glucose, so tain't gonna be very often. On rare occasions, I make "usgusting" popcorn, named by my then 3-year old grand daughter (now 21). A whole stick of melted salted butter (or more), Jiffy Pop white popcorn, sea salt and Cholula sauce.
  6. This extra day reminds of the time I actually got 8 hours of sleep... and it only took three days to get it. Today is "Drag Your Wife To The Gym" day. 24 Hour Fitness is offering a 3-day pass to bring a spouse or friend. She favors the recumbent bike, and happily pedals for an hour while reading a book.
  7. It is a legit request when the account is hacked and ownership is in question
  8. Years ago I wrote a program to control a series of home controllers to control lights and appliances. It required an adapter that communicated over the power lines similar to power line Ethernet does today. this is viable today because it is not attached to the internet so it can’t be hacked.
  9. I have a spread sheet of various cities categorized by population, vote party, crime, air and water quality, cost of housing and taxes. So far, I have 344 cities entered, and SO very few that meet my qualifications. Air quality and Climate are big factors, so I was amused to find out I own a property in San Diego which has mighty fine air quality and climate. SD get an "F" for all the other factors, such as firearms, bums, illegals, politics, taxes, crowding, cost of living, traffic, etc. A new addition to my data source is property tax rates and taxes paid. Very useful for anybody seriously considering a relocation.
  10. Here in CA, the election results show there are far more cattle than humans.
  11. I assume they drink because they get a good look at some of the women they pick up while deployed.
  12. Answering the question, I prefer plain cake donuts. That aside, I much prefer those phat cinnamon rolls wound up in a spiral like a huge cow pie with lots of melted butter on top. However, all the above hates my glucose, and hates on it for several days, so I have to pass.
  13. When #2 daughter and grand daughters were away on vacation, we had cat feeding duty. While opening the front door, I was telling my bride some ideas I had for our next Date Night. Then, lo and behold, #2 daughter starts talking to us through the Ring doorbell. It has both audio and video capabilities. #2 has no illusions about how she came to be in the world, plus being an R.N. for twenty years, so she got a good laugh.
  14. The Costco brand is excellent in every aspect. Each bag is much larger than the wimpy ones from the super market. Taste is first class. Popcorn is a staple and Food Group in our house. 2:15 in our nuker makes it perfect with nearly every kernel popped.
  15. Being a motorcycle cop in Idaho, at his age, seems a punishment rather than a reward.
  16. If it does not come, this tells me "business as usual". Meet the New Boss, same as the Old Boss...
  17. It sounds like somebody has access to the studio tracks where they muted all by her mic track. There is a similar one for Fleetwood Mac, where they demonstrate dropping all all the little bitty tracks that add so much to their Rumors album.
  18. Yep. I understand when they did my 4x bypass, they cooled my body down to about 80 degree (+/-) then stopped my heart while they made the 8 connections. And all this through a small hole where they broke my sternum apart and racked it open.
  19. We have a very good pair of OTA antennas for commercial tripe TV. My bride is a huge fan of the Murder and Autopsy channels, which she plays while house cleaning. I have to laugh at the ambulance chaser and other scam commercials that play on these channels constantly. Rarely will I tune in the local news, which like everything else in CA, leans very far to the Left. Also in CA, many of the OTA channels are in Spanish. Yawn. They do run some old horse operas and other old TV shows from the last century. We have a Netflix account, and also a DVD account until they did away with that. I think we have "come to the end of the internet" with the streaming channels... seen most of it. The rest is Work or Homosexual crap, that we have no interest in viewing. I do have a wonderful collection of Blu-Ray and 4k UHD movies that we rotate and see on a regular basis.
  20. The first step is cleaning the CD in warm water using Dawn or other great cutter in the above radial manner. For some reason, the unwashed like to leave finger prints or blow their noses on CDs. Some use them for coasters. If this fails and the CD is unreadable, you can try tooth paste as a last resort. Wet the CD and apply a generous amount of tooth paste and liquefy it into a runny paste. Do the radial cleaning as a series of radial ovals around the disk. Rinse thoroughly, dry and test. This has worked for me many times with Netflix DVDs that are all scratched and snotted. You can also attempt to rip the CD audio disk to a digital file tracks using "Exact Audio Copy" which is a free Windows utility that does comprehensive track analysis and recovery. You can then run Music Brainz Picard against the tracks to rename them.
  21. Spreading the wealth. It is said a camel is a horse designed by a committee.
  22. I find people are democrats for one or more of four reasons: sex, drugs, socialism or Orange Man Bad. I ask Catholics why they vote for the abortion party.. why the Jews vote for the spendthrift party, and get the same answer you did: mom and dad did, so do we.
  23. No, they are the huge number of voters who vote for Democrats in Local, State and National elections. Time and time and time and time and time again.
  24. I kept my 1991 after buying a new 2023 Tacoma, as the 1991 runs just fine, is reliable, cheap to insure and cheap to license. I had to recently replace the 10-year old battery (oh darn), and the 10 year old tires need to be replaced. COSTCO is the magic place for both the above to happen. By far, I got the best battery deal and warranty at Costco. Will check into tires soon. The lawyers have the car repair shops scared into replacing tires that are 5 years or older now. Piffle. I was pleasantly surprised at the very high tread wear and temperature ratings on the new 2023 tires.
  25. The thieves like to target diesel trucks, because they can strip out the undercarriage smog equipment and sell for big bucks. My shop told me their cost for parts alone is over $7,000, plus considerable labor to install again. I'm all for dropping the jack on a car thief, then going back to bed for several hours.
