Buying a weight loss program from a fat girl...

A generation ago Oprah came out on her season premiere show pulling a red wagon filled with fat. It was to demonstrate her determination to lose 67 pounds. She claimed that under medical supervision her fasting for four months is what did it for her.
As you (probably) know, over the years, the weight came back on. I say Oprah is terminally fat and I link it to diet. Lifestyle and genetics also plays a part, but the amount and type of food you ingest is a major factor in weight gain.
Years ago she invested in Weight Watchers, joined the program, lost weight and made millions. I read stocks plunged and she lost millions. I'm guessing the weight came back up and women lost interest in Weight Watchers, especially with 'O' at the helm.
In Miami, a similar thing happened with an attractive TV personality who had gained weight over the years and was seen and heard selling 'Nutra' weight loss programs. They also had other radio personalities claiming great numbers of pounds shed from using this system.
One thing they had in common... the weight came back on.
Recently, there's a new voice advertising a quick weight loss program. She's heard weekday mornings as the support for the local radio station. The slip up is people who sell weight loss programs should actually stick to their diets and not admit to weekend eating binges involving a few thousand calories at a time. It looks bad on their resume...
That's my thought and I'm sticking to it!

Tupperware never dies...

I would think the entire word heard about Tupperware products.
If you haven't... Tupperware is the name of air-tight kitchen storage products created by Earl Tupper in 1948. They are made from a form of pliable plastic and sold through direct marketing, typically obtained from Tupperware Parties. My Aunt was a Tupperware dealer and my mother was her best customer!
We had Tupperware bowls in all shapes and sizes. The worst one was a tall pitcher that usually saw fruit juice.
After a while, with long term use the edges of Tupperware become dingy, frayed and fuzzy looking. I remember my aunt mixed some bleach in a pitcher they always used for lemonade. Cousin Joan came in from a hot summer day thinking it was a fresh batch of drink, chugged a cupful and was bent over puking it up!
Every weekend we travel to Miami to check the house (we moved from) bringing and things back to our new location. There are a few items of Tupperware that I haven't claimed. I'm figuring after 50 years they should be considered indigenous and be part of the house when I rent or decide to sell it.

I logged on this morning to see some website changes.
The bell in the top row of menu selection now has a bell.
Clicking it shows me things I already know about!
Thanks for the bell...
Coins for tops and sending gifts appears to be a new selection.
I guess that's a reinvention of BLING.
They have invented a new way to get money from members.

Dragon at the Farmer's Market...

We've been busy lately moving to a condo 45 miles from our home in Miami so the weekend trips to the Farmers Market have been few. Last week we had a chance to visit one of the larger family owned stores and picked up some items we haven't seen in a while.
I hesitated on the Dragon fruit because we had already selected melon, grapes, oranges and papaya so next time we will get some then!

Ashes to ashes...

Ashes to ashes... to a lump of semi-burned remains. After reading what the cremation process involves, I'm disputing what we are/were taught to believe. It's not so easy.
I think bible experts have different thoughts about this, but a burned body leaves a lump. Teeth don't turn to dust. Most of the bones and remains have to be crushed by special machines.
If they had cremation chambers thousands of years ago, I'm sure they weren't fueled to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit like the ones we have today. Not close.
Two years ago, a coworker died unexpectedly. He was in his 40's. We are coming up on the anniversary of his passing and I'll be asking the other workers/friends to get together to celebrate his life. He was cremated and his ashes were sprinkled over the land he owned in the middle of the state were he often used as a weekend retreat.

Eat first, then exercise _or_ exercise first then eat...

I'm sure there are dozens of websites posting facts about which one is correct... one way or another. As for me, I prefer the order of exercising first, eating second then relaxing (and possibly taking a nap) third.
Years ago I had a girlfriend who professed her knowledge of healthy living.
Okay... do your thing!
No, I just had a big meal and I don't want to 'walk if off'
Maybe exercise improves your digestion. For me it causes indigestion.
Exercise after a meal steals the energy my body uses to digest food.
I'll get back to you in 30 minutes or less.
Yeah, and I do have an example... a pack of lions chase down their prey, devour it and hang out swatting flies with their tails. It has always been thus...
They don't have internet to tell them otherwise.

Leather...

When given the choice of leather or fabric upholstery I prefer to sit on, the answer has always been fabric. My main chair is fabric but one of my office chairs is covered in a man made Ultrasuede. Usually, I drape a towel over the Ultrasuede so it doesn't show signs of wear. Leather seating from experience, is usually stiffer than fabric and I'd guess it's because of longevity. Leather tends to stretch and pucker.
Last month when I needed a rental car, a got a Mazda SUV with leather seats. Yeah, uncomfortable as I imagined despite all the motorized adjustments possible.
The one thing people mention about leather is the smell. There is a mystique about processed animal hide that people are attracted to. Maybe having leather goods is a sign of wealth? I do not know.
We were at Ikea last weekend and on my shopping list was a chair. I must have tried 20 and one high-back fabric style was my top choice. They also offered a leather cushion version for $100 more. Decisions, decisions... back and forth trying the fabric versus the leather, there was a bit of Deja vu... the leather smell reminded me of a baseball glove I had as a .

In recent Rock music events, the Rolling Stones have postponed their North American tour originally scheduled April 20th to July 29th. Their 75 year old singer Mick Jagger will undergo surgery Friday to replace a heart valve.
Local radio stations announced if you have tickets to hold on to them as the Stones intend to get back on the road as soon as Mick recovers!

Trump is his Mar-a-Lago retreat this weekend and that means ALL model aircraft is BANNED in a 50 mile radius of where he is staying.
ALL model aircraft.
That means if you have a rubberband powered balsa airplane and you go to a schoolyard with your , by law you can be arrested and have to a $,000 fine.
