Having diabetes and gout there are so many things I can't eat but its just a way of life that you modify into. No complaints just do it and move on.

Diabetes is tough. Hope you can control yours with diet. I don't have it now, but many in my family get it in their latter years. My mom controls hers with diet. Mainly cutting way back on sweets. I don't think I could live without carbs for long.

Drew, I will look into that water processed coffee. I am not that big of a coffee connoisseur. (I had to let google correct that spelling for me this early in the morning.) :)

She brews coffee so strong, you can float a horseshoe on it.

Sounds like she would like my coffee.

I drink decaf sometimes, and Drew is right, the SWP (Swiss Water Process) method of removing the caffeine tastes better to me. I roast my own coffee, so I order certain coffees as SWP. I haven't looked on any bags in the store to see the process they use.

A big grocery chain down here sells specialty coffees and one of my favorites is Southern Pecan Decaf. But it costs about $9-$10 per pound.

Thanks for the thought Wngsprd, but to be honest I have a tendency to be a bit of a hoarder when it comes to wood. Once it cools off around here I will have more time to spend in the shop. And Christmas is coming. I have gifted things I made since I was 13 and I will be hitting 61 at the end of the year.

Yes Kyle, that is exactly what I am trying to do. How long has your Mom been at it?

I understand Buppies, but if I can beat it before it happens with some change I am going for it. Gout, sorry to hear that. I understand that is very painful.

60 right now going to 86.

The guy with the cow has let us down again. I told him to send our deposit back to us. We were to pick her up in Oct, now he is saying he can't get her till Nov. We will be out of town every weekend (and some weeks) in Nov at horse auctions. So the hunt for zebu cows is back on.

Good morning! 67˚ Thunder and rain as another line of yellows and reds pass by.

Ron, yes, that is the land behind the gate in the back.

(Rant for Kyle - rest of ya'll can skip, except for the new studies on Parabens - make sure your wife gets rid of them.)
Kyle, about a half decade, maybe longer I did not mark it on the calendar. My diet change was gradual, too gradual. I did not have a Dr. who took nutrition seriously, later I learned they have no education in nutrition only how to diagnose, do specific procedures and order prescriptions. I had to seek out the doctors who cared enough to find out that preventive/reversal medicine means more than everything in moderation. because, believe me, moderation does not work. The doctor that says "moderation kills" is the truly educated doctor - he knows how Americans eat. (Cardiac rehab is full of REPEAT moderates.)

These 800 studies WHO looked at have been around a while. Now we see how much processed meats, and a lesser degree red meats, stimulates cancer cells besides slowly clogging up arteries. There are other things besides food that causes cancer - just last week they found that parabens trigger the estrogen receptors by turning on genes that caused breast cancer cells to proliferate, the effect was significant up to 100 times for women who have a specific gene. My wife just got rid of her products (mostly moisturizers) that contain Parabens. When so many people get cancer (second leading cause of death) you know it is something we are putting on, eating or breathing.

Don, I have learned more about nutrition in the last month than I have known my whole life, it is just not taught. I have also learned a lot about Eastern Medicine vs Western which again is not something that is taught over here. Thanks to the internet and Amazon (books) it is easy to research. I have also noticed that Nutrition teaching can be swayed to ones belief so you have to take the info and process it yourself. The wife is looking at going back to school for nutrition because this has opened up a whole new world for us.

38 out this AM, pastures need the sun to get the frost off! Suppose to be in the high 50's today.

I hope you all in Texas get through these rain events alright. Water is tough to deal with.

I'll be collecting wood today and making a run at the hardware store for compressor fittings and general household stuff.

Have a great day all, and weekend! Be safe.
