I usually tell them that God wouldn't have given us pleasure sensing nerves if we weren't supposed to enjoy it. Furthermore, "Go forth, be fruitful and multiply" pretty much tells us to bang it out as much as possible(*)

I posted on your other site today again.

Bing, various banking sites (for business and personal), Amazon.com, The Mind Tavern, Access World Forums. I will have occasionaly blitzes on Melodishop.com for a music binge. I don't do social media, I don't play games online and for the most part, the internet is a source of work and...

Oxygen & proper Hydration are the keys without using meds. It's helped me with migraines, hangovers, sinus headaches just about every type except cluster and tension headaches (those require opiates much like the migraines used to) I had migraines from about the age of 3 (when my mom...

Thanks for the suggestion. It's now in my Audible collection. - Its easier to return if I don't like it than a hard copy.

I just listened to this. I'll be doing it again with notes the next time. I liked it. It seems to show the way to make big changes with small incremental changes engineered for success. Thanks for posting this.

Like The_Doc_Man, I vary my breakfast. It can be as simple as my morning pill selection and a cup of coffee to days like today where I left a sourdough rising in the oven overnight and cooked some bacon to go with it. I like granola style cereals that aren't loaded with sugar, Kashi or home...

If I'm lucky, I get two nights a month of good sleep. Most nights my sleep consists of a deep meditative state interrupted by pain and occasionally actual sleep. B

Sorry I took so long to like this comment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My friend was raised by his grandparents. He took care of them in their old age until the last few months. When they died the government tried to go after the house they owned jointly. He had to show proof that he had paid out medical bills for them equal to half the equity in the home to...

The trick in the USA is transfer the funds to a trust account at least 7 years before you need it for elder care. Give control of the trust to the kids and your inheritance is no longer an issue. (Disclaimer:See an attorney for details, I'm not giving legal advice, just spouting an opinion...

I have a brick that was given to me for Christmas as a kid by my dad. My parents are re-married so I would alternate one year to the other. My dad wanted to get me a Sony Walkman (when they were new) but sent a gift card so I could pick out the one I wanted. The gift card was taped to the...

In response to why I like The Curse of the High IQ: It revealed a few things. 1. I'm not alone. 2. I'm not crazy, the people around me simply don't operate on my level. 3. The rant was followed by suggestions for solutions / adaptations which helps relieve stress with both actions. 4. I can...

I've listened to a couple of nutritionist courses led by actual dieticians. The consensus from them, and I agree, is fasting is bad unless you are doing it for religious reasons and even then, you need to plan it out with your doctor. Reducing calorie intake, improving caloric quality and...

I believe global warming is real. I am not convinced the "science" behind the why is accurate or reliable given the admissions that the data has been horribly misprepresented. E.G. Taking temperature readings from a point 750 miles south of the represented area was considered acceptable...

I finished "The Curse of the High IQ" three times today. I listened to the last chapter three times this morning because I kept getting interrupted. I loved the book so much I bought two more from the author. Worthless: The young persons indispensable guide to choosing the Right Major Poor...

Bison meatballs spiced with a "Chicken Shawarma" spice blend from the local Lebanese shop. Topped with diced tomato and red lentil sauce with caramelized onions was the best. Elk Nachos - second favorite flavor, most favorite reference. This was one of the meals my wife tried in Yellowstone...

We have a tradition of making the kids cook once a week during senior year. This Friday our son served us salmon caught by his friend and dad poached with tarragon, lemon and Washington state Riesling. (it's a bit green apply and sweeter than a normal Riesling) The side dish was a cumin and...

Both Morphine and Codiene are natural opiates as opposed to synthetic. I've known people who can handle one but not the other. I'm all for leaving them off the table until there are no other choices available. I'm happy for your Mum finding medication that works.

Anyone else here experienced reverse mental snobbery? Yes, but it usually comes from the one who has no business touching that sword let alone waving it around.
