If I drank coffee like some drink tea I'd be coffeed off.

Too much coffee gives me jitters, and runs to the jungle.

I think the pill route has helped me in the long run, especially for the pain in my hip and joints.




Remember this?

A movie was loosely made (The Battle of the Sexes, 2017) about the epic tennis match which occurred between
Bobby Riggs (pictured) and Billie Jean King in 1973.
Riggs touted supplements as aids to his stamina.
He lost the match.
It was hailed as a victory for women's liberation, plus the match was highly hyped and made a lot of money.

Thanks. My background has left me with huge holes in my knowledge of pop culture. I have tried to read a few books about pop culture, but that is NOT how pop culture references are meant to be learned. :Rolleyes

I loved my college that had so many international students. Being clueless about this stuff was the norm, and unlike them, I didn't care who knew that I was clueless, so I'd ask for everyone's benefit.

I cooked today. I cooked a big package of pork stew meat with a large onion in my pressure cooker, and have enough for many meals.

Some of the pork I shredded for pulled pork. I had some of that tonight with a big plate of boiled cabbage, a tangerine, and a tortilla. There are about 3 more meals of this.

I left enough pork and onions in the broth for 2 bowls of soup. I might add some things and/or thicken this into a stew.

I froze 4 large hunks of pork that are each just the right size to make a batch of tortellini or a sandwich.

It takes very little fuel to bring a large pressure cooker to pressure and hold it there for 15 minutes and then just let it sit for an hour. Most any meat will cook to almost mush from that treatment.

It was tennis, even a match, and it was certainly hyped, but it was only an epic joke. Riggs—king of the lob—was totally unserious, a clown. The posted pic well represents him.

He was not a clown all the time.

Riggs, the son of a minister, began taking tennis lessons at age 12 and progressed rapidly. At age 18 he was ranked fourth in the United States, and in 1939, at the age of 21, he was first in the world. Although he was relatively short in stature—he stood approximately 5 feet 7 inches (1.7 metres) tall—Riggs used speed and a shrewd strategy to overcome more-powerful opponents. He helped the U.S. team win the Davis Cup in 1938, and at Wimbledon the following year he won the singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles titles. He also captured the first of his U.S. championships (now known as the U.S. Open) in 1939. After turning professional (1941), Riggs won the 1942 and 1947 U.S. doubles titles, with Don Budge, and the 1946, 1947, and 1949 U.S. singles titles. In addition to his play, Riggs garnered attention for his larger-than-life personality, which included a fondness for pranks. He quit professional tennis in 1951, although he later played in senior events.

Hi I am new to this forum site. Nice to read your comments - I gained a few insights.

For me, I started with 18:6 Intermittent Fasting to lose weight. I already on my 6th day. I feel okay though I am still adjusting. I am drinking lots of water :D

These are crazy times.

There are days that I live off of leftover cold pizza and a big bag of that cheap lettuce stuff that is already washed and chopped and kinda tastes like wax. And when no one is looking, I eat it with the hand that is not on the computer mouse, like the lettuce pieces are potato chips, instead of as a salad on a plate with a fork. And wash it down with too much tea instead of water.

Other days I do better. Especially when I have to. It is a good thing that I am on foot and that most days I must walk at least a couple miles a day, just to carry back enough water for the tea, and the pizza and bag of lettuce. God knows what he is doing with me. LOL. No matter what, I at least get some exercise.

What are you doing to be healthy, if anything? How can we encourage each other? Is there an issue that you need accountability with?

I don't drink enough water. It does not help that I need to pay for it and carry it home. The only affordable safe drinking water is a 1/2 mile away from me. I get lazy. Sometimes I only carry enough back to make the tea that I am addicted to, which is STUPID because tea is a diuretic and makes me MORE dehydrated not less.

I watched a video sermon on the prodigal son, and the pastor defined prodigal living and said that squandering our BODIES is a form of squandering. When I exist in a constant state of dehydration, I am squandering a resource that has been placed in my protection. I need to do better.

Is there ONE thing that YOU need to work on and that maybe might be easier with some accountability?

It is noontime in my time zone and I have only drank about 8 oz of water, but at least 4 times that much of tea. Weak tea. Does that count that it was weak? Pitiful that I try and justify it as weak tea. It is not the point.

I just forced myself to swill another 8 oz of water, before I hit "create thread". That is the power of accountability.

Welcome Glerse!

I have a few books on fasting in my logos library that came in a package that I bought for other reasons. Fasting is on my long list of things to learn about. Solomon said there were an endless amount of books. What would he say about the books we have today? LOL.
