Why couldn't Mozart find his music teacher?




He was Haydn.

I met up with a girl that had been my best friend at college back in the 60's. It had been 15 years since we had met previously. I told her about my diabetes and she commented that I was far too slim for that, and was I sure. (What she didn't know was that since my diagnosis I had lost a shed load of excess weight in order to become slim, and she had never seen me fat). But this is an intelligent, highly educated woman who believed the rubbish they put in the media.

Maybe these are the same people who criticize other people for "thinking too much"? I've never understood that one ...

Sometimes I think the critters who are vocal but not verbal have it so much better than we do.

Hi, @JohnEGreen , @Antje77 , and @carty . Good to see y'all!

I feel better than I did the past few days. Thought the Prozac was suddenly giving me side effects. I may go see my doctor this coming week.

I'm here, but am on holiday at the moment in glorious Shropshire. The Long Mynd, Stipperstones, Carding Mill Valley, Church Stretton, Ludlow, Bishops Castle, all with very easy reach. Cottage is a delight. Very, very old, full of character, quirky, fantastic garden, spotless and comfortable with all mod cons mixing well with the ancient stuff. The week before we came we had a family tragedy (Niece's son in intensive care on life support) so it was good to get away.

Impossible one to rate, so you get these instead:

Awwww thank you @Antje77 Love the hugs and medal.

 

[SaskiaKC]

@Bluetit1802 Count me in with @Antje77 . I am very sorry to hear about your great-nephew.

The cottage and Shropshire sound lovely. How good that you're able to enjoy this time.

I think I had an epiphany this morning. It occurred to me why in ancient times there were regularly scheduled feast days.

Maybe it was because eating wasn't fun back in those days. It wasn't an adventure. Even in years when the crops were good, maybe eating was more about refueling than about competition. So ... when it was time for a religious celebration, or other festival, it involved a feast of some sort.

I came to that thought while I was thinking I really need to get back to the "good" diabetes diet I was on last year. Eating wasn't fun then by any means. At best it was just boring. This year I have indulging too frequently in "good" foods that I enjoy in the moment but that add weight, blood glucose numbers, and have other negativie effects.

Anyway, just a thought ...

Your thoughts?

 

[Antje77]

My first rule for food is that it should be tasty and interesting. If it isn't I eat less and will snack more.

 

[Brunneria]

Your thoughts?

My thoughts?

If food isn’t enjoyable, then I won’t be eating it regularly.

One of the requirements I have for ANY way of eating I have tried is that I look forward to it and get pleasure from it.
If not, then it isn’t sustainable, and I’m inevitably doomed to drift (as you have done) into more enjoyable choices.

Fortunately, LCHF Carnivore is a way of eating that I seem to genuinely enjoy, both the cooking and the eating, so it is (so far, including a few LC ‘discrepencies’ such as dark choc) proving to be nicely sustainable. 20 months, and counting...

Taking my totally carnivorous grandson back to Uni tomorrow to start his second year no doubt he is going to enjoy himself baiting the university's vegan society who have it seems made him their pet project for converting to their WOE.

"this little pig went to market
this little pig stayed home
this little pig ate roast beef
this little pig had none
what a load of ****
whoever heard of a pig eating roast beef?"

 

[Antje77]

whoever heard of a pig eating roast beef?"

That would be every pig who found someone crazy enough to feed it roast beef!

By the way, I hate to break it to you, but the little things attached to your feet aren't really little pigs. I'm sorry.
