Coincidence or providence

[uberreiniger]

And so the weekend perishes. Had a helluva feast with megiloth, yaqui and their friend Shane, who, if he has an LJ, I am not aware of its existence. Much food was commested. Many species of domesitcated livestock were grilled and eaten, potted ham that was the ambrosia of the gods despite its gelatinous texture and penislike coloring, real, honest-to-heyzuess caviar, cheeses of bizarre aroma yet divine taste, fine brandy to mix with base, vulgar soft drinks, and enough chips and salsa to make even the most experienced crew of gourmands retch - which it very nearly did. We all have mad cow now. We are going to die. After the Bosch-like bacchanalia had concluded, we went out for a relaxing game of billiards. (That means pool for you non-high-fallutin' types.) Lesley and Dean happened to be playing pool there when we arrived and our two groups merged into one. The guys all thought I was successfully picking a hot babe up until they found out I already knew her. Next time I'll be sure not to shatter such precious delusions :D Fun was had, it was driven home that slop-rules in pool are a wonderful thing, and Lesley seemed to have a religious experiece over megiloth's tattoos. It was, quite simply, a swell night on the town. The only drawback was it left me too tired to go up and check on Melissa's cats, so by today when I did get there I damn near needed an oxygen mask while shovelling the litter box. If Melissa really wanted to, I'm sure she could open up her own ammonia factory and retire comfortably by the age of thirty-five.

On a more serious note, I seem to keep meeting people with diabetes - far more than I should for knowing no more people than I know. Convinced that God is trying to tell me something, I have resolved today to actually give a damn about what I eat. I've started exercising again and have decided to make a few very simple changes I should make anyway. (Not having french fries and soda with every meal, for example.) I'm as anti-Adkins Diet as ever - except in the case of people with a good medical reason - but I figure a little moderation can't hurt. Besides, I've already got bad acid reflux disease, corns on my feet, and skin prone to developing painful cysts. I'd like to make it to at least the age of forty before developing another fucking health problem.

And forty's nothing to joke about. They start checking your prostate then, dude.

I know the feeling about watching one eats. Part of the reason why I'm a pescetarian (because I do actually eat fish), aside from my myriad of non-medical reasons, is that I actually, physically cannot eat red meat and poultry. I've developed some sort of allergy. But I also used to have an ulcer and do have problems with digestions and such every so often because of it. I actually discovered last year that my consumption rate of carbonated drinks actually aggravated my acid reflux, and so I stopped drinking it altogether. I've barely had any acid reflux problems since then, except on the fairly rare occasion that I eat greasy food. Amazing how much of a difference a little change in the diet makes.

I wish my problem was more like yours. With me it's actually the healthier foods that set off my acid reflux. For a long time I was eating greasy foods just because I couldn't handle the pain that nearly all of the fruits and vegetables I liked caused me. Now that there's over the counter medication available I'm having an easier time of it.

Wow. That's interesting. I have never heard of someone getting acid reflux and stuff from food that is actually healthy. Certain fruits I can understand because some do have a high acid content, but wow. I'm glad that you've at least found something which will make it a little easier for you.

This has nothing to do with your post, but Merry Christmas a little late! I missed ya! But now i am back and posting.. at least till i run off for New Years. But then... THEN.... things shall be back to the grand state of perpetual posting that i once so enjoyed.

I will do my best to get to all the posts i've missed. But i wanted to say hi. And all that warm fuzzy stuff. And i think you're right. there's nothing at all bad about trying to be a little more healthy now. Its a hell of a lot worse trying to be a little more healthy when you're older and the damage has already been done. Speaking of health at an earlier age(which i guess also very directly deals with the epidemic of diabetes that you've been noticing)... this story just came on the news about a prescription weight loss drug for kids ages 12-16, while showing all these pictures of very fat children meandering about at the mall and stuff. Perhaps more American youth should take to the Warlock's Diet of skipping the fries and soda. I've known a couple people who have let excessive soda drinking (among other things of course) help lead them to weights they never saw coming. Hopefully you'll experience less acid though.

Now... get thee online so i can chatter! :)

Why wait?

Well, it's not all fruits and vegetables certainly, but a significant chunk of the ones I like the best and that are best for you. Even ones that are only moderately acidic set me off quite badly. It's pretty much the plague of my family. My mother is and my grandmother was the exact same way. The thought of being on a medication for the rest of my life at such a young age depresses the hell out of me, but it's better than the alternative.

I was very overweight as a child and I lost it the old fashioned way - through a helluva a lot of sit-ups. As I'm learning, you've got the whole rest of your life to be dependent on a drug for your health. These kids shouldn't be started on silly drugs.

Merry Christmas to you. I miss you and since you're not on in the mornings anymore I never know when to catch you for chat. When's a good tiem?

Hmm... I don't know.

who, if he has an LJ, I am not aware of its existence.

Shane doesn't have an LJ. He has a shitty "Best Buy E-Machine" that has essentially become an expensive doorstop. Until that situation is remedied, no LJ for Shane.

hmmm, I must have missed that part. That was probably when I overheard you people talking aboot something really filthy and I did a double-take, "Did you say what I thought you just said?"

and Lesley seemed to have a religious experiece over megiloth's tattoos.

HAHAHA...man oh man.

I'm pretty sure that "Best Buy E-Machine" is, in fact, Taiwanese for "expensive doorstop."

hmmm, I must have missed that part. That was probably when I overheard you people talking aboot something really filthy and I did a double-take, "Did you say what I thought you just said?"

It was part of yaqui's Super Deluxe Christmas Fun Pack-O-Meat. And I'm pretty sure it was mentioned at the moment you describe.

HAHAHA...man oh man.

Yeah, now it probably makes more sense why I keep her around ;)

Why is that? So she can rub my arms to orgasm? I AGREE :)

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE! It's not like I get to see orgasming arms every day!

HUU-WAAAh! HUU-WAAAh! HUU-WAAh!
