, I was eating mixed vegetables and sweet peas, but read an article on starchy vegetables, and how they can be higher in carb scale and calories.

This is somewhat true, but the excess fiber in them negates the effects of carbs. Well assuming you aren’t eating 183647 pounds of root veggies (carrots potatoes beets radishes etc...) So don’t worry too much about bad effects from excess carbs from veggies.

I think the ones you may want to moderate are the ones with the word sweet in them like corn, especially if you have issues controlling sugar. Pumpkins and parsnips also have a GI - glycemic index.  

 

Like Kirsten has said, in most cases though, the fiber in the veg helps to really offset this. If you process these, it reduces the fiber quality and it’s offsetting benefits. So don’t avoid, but moderate consumption, is always a safe bet.

@tracy_j most of the crops grown in San Diego are grown a little north and along the coastline, like in Delmar and Encinitas. I’ll figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions.

After losing the weight that was bugging me, I’m going to keep to the low starchy stuff, thanks for the info tho!

Hi everyone,

 

It's been a busy summer for me.  Both Granddaughters spent time with us (separately so that they had 100% of our attention and to give them a break from each other.  Our oldest made Varsity Cheerleader as a sophomore.  She is also on a competitive co-ed cheer team and will be competing at a number of events that could lead to the national championships.  Her younger sister is into dance, and has been doing hip-hop for a few years now and is adding ballet this year.  She will also be trying out for middle school cheer squad when school starts.

 

We bought another sailboat but are having problems with the state getting it registered.  And we've got a line on what could be our third sailboat.  An 18 footer, a 32 footer both sloops and this next one would be a 41 foot ketch.  I am anxious to learn the fate of the 32 foot as it needs work but I don't want to spend time or money on it if I am going to sell it for scrap.  (scrap value is more than I paid for it so no loss)  The smallest one is for sale.  

 

We leave the east coast on Thursday for a week on the west coast.  Going to Portland to see our son and his wife.  And finally we will be spending several days with friends over Labor Day.

 

@Ellora that's a long trip for 5 year olds, England to San Diego.  No wonder they can't figure out why the sun is messed up.  Enjoy them every minute you can.  They don't stay little for long.

 

@Debra Michelle congratulations!

@Debra Michelle I'm kinda surprised your surgery date is so far out.  When my spouse had it the surgery was scheduled within a week.  I know the surgeon moved the R schedule around somewhat to minimize the wait.  But I'm happy to read you are on track.  Sorry about the clutch.  Sounds like the driver is a klutz!

Gee @Willow another boat!  Sounds like fun.  I hope the issue you're having is resolved easily.

 

Cheers! Jani

@Willow, oh ya, it definitely is a long plane ride for the, for sure. I went last year to help with the trip, unfortunately my dad wasn’t doing well enough this year, so I stayed home this time. They finally woke up at 7 instead of 6 am today. The extra hour of sleep sure makes a difference, ?. Congrats on getting another boat, I hope the red tape works out., have fun sailing!

Good morning! Working on my first cup o coffee, and breakfast. I got better sleep, but had some weird dreams, some good some weird, some ok. I had to force myself to wake up after I got tired of the bad dream. 

It supposed to reach 98 degrees outside today around the east county, glad there isn’t ac over here. Apparently it’s foggy where I live on the coast, and it’s supposed to be around 88 degrees there, oh joy...I don’t have ac at my place, but that’s ok, it’s a fair trade off , living so close to SD Bay, and Balboa Park. 

The twins are playing with the legos, peacefully, so that’s a bonus ?. I will be taking them to the indoor mall, then to see Toy Story 4 later, that will be fun ?

Interesting that we're in the midst of August and the temps here are going to be in the mid 70's for rest of week.  Typically it should be high 80's- 90's.  Odd.

 

Have fun at the movie Ellora!

It's a great deal brighter on the East Coast.  Hot, extremely humid forecast, ugh.  This morning is delightfully cool however.

That's wonderful!  I would certainly accept my grandkids if they transitioned.  Hopefully one of them will have the 52 chevy flat bed when i can't drive or i'm gone.

Temps have been about normal here for July- Aug. About this time of the month It usually starts cooling ever so slightly. So the kids don't roast when they get back to school. Today it is supposed to be around 80.

 

waiting on my cup of Joe. Had a nice shower earlier. complete shave. put my hair up in a pony tail. Only time it doesn't curl is when I put it up. I know some girls would die to have my naturally curly hair.

Been wearing polish on my fingernails for about a month. Only positive comments from the ladies. A few looks but other wise good. I will be keeping them polished more of the time from now on.

 

Hugs

Just having my usual glance before breakfast. It looks cool out again today. I think we have maybe seen the last of the high heat of the summer. It is getting autumnal now although a while to go yet so there should be other hot days. My fish and chip lunch today so I hope the weather holds for a walk through the woods and fields on the way.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good early morning, I fell asleep early, so of course I woke up super early. I’ve been up since 230am ish, and it’s now 430 am ish. Happy it’s friday. It is movie night at my sons place. We will be watching Avengers: Endgame, on his roof top! He has a cool set up with a portable fire pit, out door couch, and a huge movie screen to watch it on. Fun times!

We've got a hot spell building up.  I'm still cutting firewood and trying to get the barn filled with hay for the winter.  I'll have another cup but will also have my thermos with me with water to help in the heat.

As the days shorten, our two buck goats start to stink.  I rub their heads with rags and then hang them in the barn.  The does love that smell.  In a month when we put the does and bucks together all the females will ovulate at the same time.  Interesting how those hormones work.  Sisterhood.

 

Hugs,

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
