Pointless Announcements

Day 2 of Paleo flu.. it feels like the worst hangover of your life, but you didn't at least get the fun of the shenanagins first.

 

It's really disconcerting to see my face as Plan9 's avatar. I keep reading posts and going I DON'T REMEMBER SAYING THAT.

Then I remember.

It's also kind of awesome.

 

( amonkie ) Never heard of Paleo flu before. I think we used to call it carb crashing or something like that in the old days. Good luck on the diet. I hope it works for you.

 

The brain needs 60g of carbs in a day to function. Just FYI.

 

Not going carb free - just cutting out legumes/grains/dairy/refined sugars/processed food. I've gotten the sugar withdrawl headaches before on the elimination allergy diets, so that is not a new thing.

It works though... 9 lbs down. Best part is my skin is beginning to clear up from the allergy induced acne, and my stomach feels better than it has in months.

 

Just my pointless announcement

 

I've just cut out gluten for most of 2 years. That was hard, but paleo would be a bit harder. Me and the wife are thinking about it. She's got reactive hypoglycemia and her doc told her the "no white" diet or paleo might help. I'm game, but she loves her Mt Dew...

 

Which is funny, since they're talking about a system of governance based entirely on one religion.

For the record, I have never been against secularism but some countries (France.) seem to think that exceptions should never ever be made, which I agree with as much as religious countries not catering to other beliefs at all.

 

I get what you are saying, and agree. Atheists, or other secularists, don't need to expect religious organizations to follow non-religious principles. It is kind of silly. Now expecting the gov't to stay out of religion is good for all involved.

 

It isn't possible to pop a wheelie on my BMW.

Seriously, the bike is light and over-powered, it ought to be easy. However, the traction control kicks in so fast that the instant the front wheel lifts, the engine detunes and drops it back down.

My inner thrill seeker is pissed, my inner engineer is impressed.

 

Hmm maybe I should have my husband consider this bike then!

 

I need a new bookshelf.

 

In my nursing school career I have accumulated, now, more than 30 books. This includes pre-req books like micro, anatomy & phys, nutrition, medical terminology...but it's a lot of books and I don't have any one place to put them all.

 

Yeah, I've never really done that with books before, but I would like to put a shelf that will hold them all here in my room...somehow. It's kind of crowded, though. Perhaps I could make a vacation project out of rearranging my room so's that I could fit one. Which sounds like a really good idea now that I've thunked it...yes.

 

IKEA Besta shelves are awesome. Strong and modular.
