Rudynate

Don't diminish your accomplishment by adding the qualifier "for my age." There are all kinds of "looking good." If you look good, you look good.

Carbonated drinks in general aren't good. The carbonic acid is bad for your tooth enamel and it can leach calcium from your bones by altering your blood pH. I drink 2 or 3 diet cokes in a week. I have seen articles that say that any sweet drink, whether sweetened with sugar or an artificial sweetener can contribute to insulin resistance.

I went to a barber shop for the first time in years a couple weeks ago. He buzzed my hair, trimmed my beard and eyebrows, and when he was done, I looked fabulous. He charged me 50.00 and I tipped him 10.00. He seemed happy to get it. I got the impression that he doesn't get that sort of tip very often. I think I want to see him regularly. It feels like a total luxury to have a barber trim my beard.

One of the classiest responses to a negative review thatvI ever saw was posted on here by Kobe Rafael. It wouldn't surprise me if he saw an uptick in business from it.

What I find with ordering scrambled eggs in restaurants is that they usually overcook them. Good soft-scrambled eggs are somewhat of an art. I don't eat breakfast out very often because it's become so absurdly expensive. There's something wrong with paying $40.00 or more for breakfast for two.

I love cashew cheesecake. I've only made it once because it was so much work, but it was really oustanding. We used to have a natural foods bakery here , called "Now and Zen." Their cakes had a distinct health foodey taste to them, but once you got used to that, I thought they were really great. I think you could use cashew butter as a shortcut for the cheesecake.

Changing tastes and habits isn't that hard. When I was in junior high school, my mother read an article in Reader's Digest about how unhealthy sugary breakfast cereals and white bread were. She decided we were done with them. She started buying oatmeal, shredded wheat, cheerios and whole wheat bread. We HATED it. But she wouldn't give in. A couple times my father brought white bread home and she chewed him a new asshole. Eventually, we could see she wasn't giving in and we started eating the Cheerios and the oatmeal and whole wheat bread. We didn't like it but we did it. And the longer we ate it, the more we developed a taste for it. After some months, we didn't even miss the old stuff.

I like them that way too. A couple weeks agon I had them that way for the first time in a very long time.

Just tell them to make your scrambled eggs without any added cream or milk.

To me, they're completely separate diseases. The naming convention is unfortunate. Type II is "insulin resistance" in which your system needs more and more insulin to produce the same effect. It is at least parially reversible through habit change. Type 1 is an inability to produce sufficient insulin and is usually irreversible. In my mind, there is a big difference between the two. But I make my living drawing distinctions so others might not see such a big difference.

The rapid test is an antibody test. The fact that they can detect antibodies in minutes rather than days or weeks doesn't change how long it takes an antibody response to develop. The only test that can detect a recent infection is a viral load.

Who is supposed to do it or whose job it is isn't the proper question. In my experience, escorts come ready for most eventualities. But if the client is going to do everything he can to insure a safe, satisfying encounter, he won't assume that the escort will furnish everything. It's a question of responsibility, not who owes who.

I think carrot cake would be great with french buttercream icing. I've always found cream cheese icing sort of gloppy and excessively rich

I like to make a cranberry chutney. The recipe I use has kind of a savory flavor to it because it has quite a bit of onion. When I host Thanksgiving dinner, it triggers my control issues because I don't like any of what I call "desserts masquerading as side dishes" at Thanksgiving dinner. But if I have even a handful of guests, of course somebody's going to bring glorified rice, somebody else will bring sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top and so on. I just have to take a deep breath and let it all happen.

That they do.

Same phenomenon. We have nearly perfect weather in San Francisco. And yet, after mid-October you see all these people going around all bundled up against the nearly perfect weather.

I actually thought about that this time. Shaving all over is really a chore, and I thought, "Why don't I hire somebody to do it?" I ran out of time before I left for LA, though.

It's funny. People here in San Francisco love getting out their winter gear. As soon as the temperature drops below sixty, everybody puts on their heavy overcoats, their scarves and their wool hats. In truth, except for a few really cold days, a light jacket is enough. But you would never know it from the way people dress when it starts to get cool.

I don't much like leftovers, so my habit is to fix enough for one meal. I just did another bodybuilding contest. This time around I learned a lot about preparing food in advance, like bodybuilders do. I realized I'm a bodybuilder (not just somebody who's playing at bodybuilding) which incentivized me to start adopting the things that bodybuilders do. When we went to LA for the contest, I brought all of my meals pre-cooked and packed in a cooler. We drove to LA from SF and I brought healthy snacks for the road and a 2-liter jug of water. It was an amazing experience to have imposed that degree of control over my food.

Bad time Bad time of year to start. You're setting yourself up for failure.

The bright cheeriness isn't all. There is a lot of irony in the bright cheeriness. Yes, much of his work depicts sort of sunny, languid Southern California afternoons. But they scream with existential despair.

I really love their Polo sweaters. Maybe I'll treat myself to another one for Christmas.

I was a corpsman in the Army. It wasn't unusual for guys to get circumcised in adulthood. These guys of course were young adults -mid 20s to early 30s. I knew a British guy, who was probably in his mid-30s. He had some sort of diplomatic position with the British government. When he found out he was being posted to Toronto, he got a circumcision before he left Europe. I thought it was a little extreme.

There is quite a bit of covert male-on-male sexual activity in the military, but I highly doubt that much of it constitutes rape. Just guys doing a buddy a favor, as the Marines say.
