He quit gherkin

When I restarted at the gym after years of not going, I made a point of being clear about my motives. Essentially, I resumed this time because I want the health, mobility and functional fitness benefits. This contrasts with the ego and body image concerns, that prompted going to the gym when I was much younger. I also make a point of enjoying the gym experience each time, not simply tolerating it. I amuse myself on the elliptical machine by surveying the crowd and picking my daily favorite hottie, and taking note of the progress made by others. I try to learn good technique by observing the trainers and the most dedicated and successful members. I always feel good afterward.

His talent as a painter was in that finger.

Or the primary result.

More toward the angry whacko bumper stickers and nra crowd traditionally, but parts of the county are changing with more Hispanic residents, more gentrification, and more restaurant choices, to name a few.

Beautiful but a red county in a blue state.

If you read the article you would know that it was published in PLOS ONE, an open-access, peer reviewed journal. Norml merely reported a summary.

I put up a bachelor bat house, painted it gray and pointed it southeast as directed. It’s on a tall pole in the middle of a large expanse of lawn. No bats have taken up lodging there yet I see bats in the area at dusk. I live in a rural area of northwestern New Jersey. What am I doing wrong?

His widow had an estate in Stillwater, NJ, where my grandma was her cook and my grandpa was her driver when they were young.

Except that Agnew would have become President.

Educate yourself first and go slow.

I had similar experience with mushrooms and PTSD. Microdosing led to subsequent improvements in my PTSD without the unpleasant side effects while under the influence that I experienced with low and moderate doses. Dosing mushrooms is tricky though.

Now I understand why the best relationship I ever had was with someone who regularly thanked me for cooking dinner. It was genuine appreciation that showed in his eyes. I never got tired of that. He wasn’t much of a cook, but I enjoy it. We each did what we could for the other, according to our abilities, it was never a tit for tat. I still mourn his death after 24 years.

When my ndad told me for the first time that he loved me, he added, “so don’t ever say I never told you.” He made it about him. I was 60 and he was 86! We closed our phone calls with “I love you” after that, and he was very pleased the first time I said it before he did, but I never really believed him and I had to choke out the words because I didn’t love or like him, I was simply doing what I felt was my duty as the only child, to look after him in his old age, even though he was abusive. It’s been peaceful since he died, though his hurtful words and deeds continue to haunt me sometimes. Life is much better now.

Also, it’s harder to buy alcohol in Utah because of restrictive sales practices. This (and a desire not to be seen buying alcohol in one’s community, creates an incentive to purchase out of state and bring it back, lowering in-state sales, the opposite of New Hampshire.

According to the article, “The study was designed based on an analysis of the needs of the company.” Take it with a Tablespoon of salt and 6 quarts water.

Exactly, it takes much longer for cancer to develop than food poisoning, and many people didn’t live long enough to get the cancers now commonly seen in many older people. Food processing has become more complex than traditional salting, smoking, drying, etc, with relatively new additives, both synthetic and “natural.” Cancer is not the only consequence from long term consumption of processed meat products. They are high in sodium, which can affect blood pressure, an important factor in many diseases of aging. High consumption of processed meat leaves less room in the diet for more beneficial foods, and they are often consumed with alcohol or other foods that are relatively unhealthy. People choosing this kind of diet are likely less knowledgeable about healthy eating and less likely to prioritize it and other healthy lifestyle practices.

Both religion and gambling involve magical beliefs and irrational optimism about one’s own personal future. People younger than about 26 have not yet completed full brain development, particularly in the region responsible for judgment. They expect to win more often than the actual odds dictate. Young men are more prone to risk-taking and are likely to have more opportunities for, and interest in, sports betting than other forms of gambling. High income allows them to indulge in these activities more readily as well.

My guess about highly processed meat is that the preservatives damage the gut biome, causing an imbalance in favor of harmful bacteria and fungi.

Had a similar one back then, in corduroy.

Every time you leave the house.

Many more people are intellectually capable than are admitted. Legacy admissions are a tradition at all schools and this almost always favors affluent white families by putting legacy ahead of intellectual criteria. As a practical matter, legacy admissions help pay the bills by generating generous donations and fund raising that less well endowed schools depend on to operate. Affirmative action is necessary to provide more opportunities for underserved people of color who are also intellectually capable of doing the work required to graduate. SAT scores have never been the sole criteria for admission, nor should they be.

That wasn’t HS, that was skipping school. Drinking a Tab! The first Totally Artificial Beverage, aka diet soda.

Everyone old enough to receive Social Security

I thought the same thing when I first heard them as the opening act at a Stones concert in Orlando, circa 1979. Roth out Jaggered Mick Jagger.
The Stones were late too, so by the time they hit the stage, my drugs had worn off.
