What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Initial thoughts were he rushed the ending because it didn't suit his thesis and he ignored a herd of elephants in the room just to make his point

Thank you for your thoughts on the programme. I am really interested on your further thoughts on what he ignored just to make his point.

I suppose the programme really resonated with me because since childhood I have always thought that foods like rice, potatoes, pasta and bread were very tasteless yukky junk fillers that I avoided eating at every opportunity. I just wanted real food on my plate - not cheap tasteless yuk.

Actually, as a child I would wait for my parents to leave the table so I could dump the rice or potatoes in the weeds between the garden shed and the fence. The rats must have loved me.

I absolutely loved meat, fish, dairy, eggs, nuts, vegetables and fruits - especially berries. As a child my favourite pastime was picking blackberries and also picking and eating the raw peas that my dad grew.

Carbs were never a problem, but when I discovered manufactured treats it became a major issue for me. I was totally addicted to them as they tasted so divine.

I never understood why, once l had eaten a treat I just couldn't stop. The programme went a long way to explaining why.

Someone needs to teach this (60 year old, millionaire) guy Healey's first law of holes and take his shovel away pronto both for his own good and to avoid the inevitable nastiness and revelations which will follow if he doesn't let due process take its course. Possibly a good idea for him to look up the meaning of irony as well.

Good morning everyone from a dull and chill start to Advent Sunday and @winterofficial.com (obviously now on Bluesky since X is to be shunned) here in L.A. Worry ye not bargain hunters, Black Friday will seque seamlessly into cyber Monday: not sure what cyber Monday has to do with the clothing companies offering me their discounted wares but I'm gormless so its me not you. @gennepher your post was admirably lucid and I am thankful to you for sharing the video and creative. @Krystyna23040 I watched the programme on UPFs and have some thoughts but I need to re-watch the start, especially his explanation of that graph of the rise in obesity rates, to be properly fair to him. Initial thoughts were he rushed the ending because it didn't suit his thesis and he ignored a herd of elephants in the room just to make his point. @JohnEGreen I'm sure the Blade runner reference was excellent, sadly totally wasted on me as were all attempts to get me to sing in tune or make music. Anyhow, have a song which, for me, has as many layers as I need in this weather but the video is joyous and the voices are melodious. Lyrics for anyone interested. I obviously have a woke/virtue signalling/low carb (nutritionals attached) Advent calendar: haters gonna hate, be my guest, knock yerselves out. Have yourselves a Merry Little Sunday, well perhaps not Fulham FC and supporters.

Thank you Ian...there was no way I could check it. !!! So tired...

I do hope that foxy loxy and the badger family do visit again @gennepher. Your post made perfect sense.

More so than an instruction I gave to class members. There was a gasp of horror when I said - 'on hands and knees - make sure that wrists are directly below hip joints and knees directly below shoulder joints'. At least it proved that they were listening to my instructions.

I love the colours in the kaleidoscope

I wasn't sure, I thought I was rambling a bit @Krystyna23040
Thank you I hope so....
Thank you for the Kaleidoscope compliment...

Yes, at least your class members were listening to you!!!!!!!!

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. It is now day 3 of Mrs J’s Christmas decorations erection. It is the turn of the lounge to be festooned with a tree, lights and baubles.
I am being to think about crowd funding to finance our soon to be extravagant LED electricity bill.
Hopefully today will be the end.

Blood sugars this morning were 6.7

Stay dry, stay safe and if you are of a sensitive nature don’t take part in Masterchef.

The question is were they Christmas socks? Stop moaning, enjoy your 3rd childhood and get those decs done as the brains of the family suggests.

Shades of blade runner maybe.

Yep

Good afternoon everyone on a rain on, rain off sort of day in the now sunny yet still dark and dangerous north. 5.4 this am and the morning was mainly taken up with discussions about a replacement spoon with The Girl In The Bubble. Important stuff I know and far more important to a 5 year old than What Greg Said and then What Greg Said Next. Christmas decorations have percolated snail like from attic to adjacent room for “sorting” - it’s what they do at The North Pole I am told - must be true as I have seen it happen in a Disney Documentary. An advent lump of wood with numbers on has been gaily placed on a surface. It has a sliding marker on so now we do know what day it is - spoils all the fun of guessing really! Art bit - red roof. Enjoy the remains of the day - it’s a decent film. Afternoon koffy? Are you mental???

Thank you for sharing another wonderful red roof art piece, an insight into the mind of TGIB and your rather poor effort to appear Grinch like. I think I was awake for a few seconds once when something entitled the Grinch was on my TV but I can't swear it is suitable for the point I was making. Just wanted to be down wiv the kids.

Day three of decorating, still the main ornaments to do.

wants to play tag in garden. But the ratbag is full of oohs and arrrs. As every piece of the puzzle is placed.ok
have actually started putting stickers on cupboards this morning, cos last night, Mrs L asked where the bowls where?
And Mrs L also told me that the tree could come down tomorrow......
Yes dear!I

Weather was very wet overnight, puddles in front and back garden. Not cold, and some blue skies till about an hour ago, when the dark clouds rolled in. Looks like rain again.

Have a lovely Sunday.

What a smasher of a kaleidoscope and very festive

 

[dunelm]

Good morning everyone from a wonderfully quiet and still dark start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.2 this am and already a mug of tea has been consumed. Not sure what happened yesterday. The Girl In The Bubble was handed back to parents and then we met up with eldest son for a late breakfast. Mrs Miggins was tidying up the front garden (a pretext for sticking some outdoor lights onto a tree). And then - well suddenly the day had gone and all I seemed to have done is hang out some washing, fill the coal scuttle, bring in some logs and make a batch of soup. I did get a couple of chapters of my current book read and obtain a suitable and approved spoon from daughter to replace the well worn one here favoured by a picky 5 year old. Art bit - it just keeps appearing. May your second day of advent lead to another great prize behind the door - mine are opened by the ghost of Micheal Miles. I simply must go and make some koffy. Note to self - buy more koffy, it’s the last bag.
