I am loving Keto, losing weight, and dinner is a thing of beauty!

Robecology comments on Sep 20, 2019:

Call it Keto. Call it Adkins. I'm sure the root of America's issues is the excessive carbs. Big breads. Rice and Potatoes. Pasta. Just cut down these items...you will lose weight. I cut my bagels and english muffins twice;to make them ultra thin (yes...very carefully) but worth it. I haven't had potatoes, regular loaf bread, or rice in ages.

Climate Change: The Trouble With Trees [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Sep 20, 2019:

So #1. Earth is only 30% land. #2. Only 25% of that land is covered with forests; for a total earthly percentage of 7.5% CO2/O2 exchange. Even is we allow for 50% of our land coverage to become more forest-covered...that's still only 15% of world-wide total oxygen production. #3. Oceans cover 70% of the the planet. Our real name should be planet Ocean. #4. 90% of the ocean is where most (70-80%) of our oxygen comes from #5. Oceans are where we still dump our most toxic, most dangerous wastes. #6. Let's stop struggling with tree planting, and look toward cleaner oceans and healthier phyto-plankton; the microscopic pre-plants that gave us most of our Oxygen in the first place. https://eos.org/research-spotlights/worlds-biggest-oxygen-producers-living-in-swirling-ocean-waters

If you say "Solitude is often a hard pill to swallow." Why quote something which is asking you not to fear "that pill"? It's been my experience that if you do, indeed "swallow that pill" you'll be amazed at the benefits....you should not only "not fear the process" but "welcome" it. You entered this world in solitude. You will leave it the same way. Embrace it.

Is there a group here called Agnostic Faith? Or was there?

Robecology comments on Sep 18, 2019:

Agnostic means "unknown" or Not aware, or unproven. It doesn't depend on "faith". Quite the opposite - Agnosticism abhors faith, leans strongly toward facts, evidences and proofs. As @CutieBeauty put it...it's an "oxymoron" to call agnosticism a "faith"...it's a thought system that is the opposite of faith.

How Tall Can Mountains Get? [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Sep 17, 2019:

Mountains rise because Granite is less dense than Basalt....Hence granitic rocks "float" on the mantle, Basaltic rocks sink. As long as the core is fluid and plastic, mountains will rise...and as long as wind and rain occurs, they will be eroded. It's this rate of rise and erosion that separates the Rockies from the Alps and the Alps from the Appalachians and Catskills.

They're everywhere!

I get it. Too many have made Socialism in to a nightmare scenario. But America now is fundamentally socialist; Any system supported by collecting taxes to pay for it is socialist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4rr9Lcx_dQ The problem is our population growth. Socialst leaders have tried - with horrible results - to control population. We can't keep growing...but for capitalism to work - it must. Socialism has the root of the issue in it's name. We've formed a society. A society that's growing by 158 more per minute. 227,000 more per day. A million more every 5 days. (http://www.poodwaddle.com) The earth isn't growing....so the "capitalists" profit from wars and weapons, from stripping the earth of its' resources. They knew forssts were necessary for us to breathe - yet they kept stripping the forests...until socialists restricted them. They know that fuels have to be ended...but their lust for money makes them ignore this. And so far, in America, at least, low taxes (we're the lowest of any nation) on fuels and subsidies on fuel makers (we're the highest) make the capitalists' fuel obsession work. https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10327 So they push capitalism and fear "socialism" This must end.

Robecology comments on Sep 16, 2019:

I'm slowly losing weight. My target is getting in to the 130's and staying there...while keeping my fitness. I work out daily; either a good swim, or a decent bike ride. I won't go to a high fat /low carb "keto" diet. The logic to me is in the portions and the hunger factor. If I go to be a bit hungry, I lose weight. If I eat unwisely, I gain weight. The diet demands we have are far stronger than any drug addiction; we've been programmed to diet prefs before we could walk and talk...so it's no wonder that it's hard to change our diet. My recommendations are simple....ease up on the carbs. Cut out/reduce breads, rice, and potatoes. Boost your proteins and fiber. Boost your fresh frruits and veggies. Even frozen and lightly cooked is better than none. Ease up on your pure sugar; Splenda/sucralose is a good substitute. I'm at 145 this AM and I plan to be in the 130's by the time the holiday "feasting" season rolls around.

Robecology comments on Sep 14, 2019:

Great question! Forgive me while I ramble and rant...but.... Being retired - and being "old"(74)... is a mixed blessing....no work to do...but if you don't "sweat" or "huff and puff" daily....you feel it more quickly than when you were young. So, I do weigh myself daily. I do exercise every day (love the "rush" of energy after a workout and shower)...and I just feel better on the days I've had a good bike ride or swim-lap workout... ...And then there's the wondering about "the end"...a lot closer, now. You try not to think about it...but if you don't, you forget the "meds" your doc prescribes.... Yes, I do volunteer for a few things...I have my finger in the pie at the local botanical gardens, I'm lined up to be an assistant at the community science fair, and etc. There's the frustration of very, very infrequent "intimacy" because I've chosen to live alone... I do bend over backwards to please the lady-friend who rarely visits, and when she does, is too often bitter and arrogant...so is not fun to be with...so I'm happy to see her go... I eat carefully; after morning coffee - some egg whites, with cheese and salsa....a light yogurt lunch, and I love the evening meal...a small portion of something healthful....followed by something decadent... tiny....but decadent (my 'muscle' brownies usually fill the bill).

If you walk over to feed them, be sure to wash your shoes - especially if you have toddlers. Psittacosis, also called "Parrot fever" will cause many pet birds many hours of suffering. If you swim in the same waters they swim in; they're are also known carries of the parasitic worm that causes swimmer's itch. They're considered a "pest" or "invasive" species....they are causing many of our common natives - herons, egrets, and gallinules, to name a few - to nest elsewhere. But they are edible...and they are huntable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psittacosis https://www.abchomeandcommercial.com/blog/muscovy-ducks/

@Charlene I agree with most of what you say...up to Yang. He's far from "know nothing"...I think he earned a berth in this debate because he has substantial support - and wisdom. I'm not saying I'd vote for him...yet...but calling him "just a foil"....sorry....can't agree.

Really fit

Hard to call her "fit"....she looks rather un-sculpted to me....and those tattoos are the sign of a not too wise POV.....

A few more from last nights dinner on the deck. I really like this guy, he is so photogenic....

Robecology comments on Sep 13, 2019:

That's a Muscovy duck. Be aware...they're "exotics/accidental imports" that are quickly taking over the habitats of shyer native birds. They are too friendly, and easy to adapt and hand feed....that's what makes them attractive. They are edible. When you walk on their waste-droppings, you can carry Psittacosis (swimmers itch....a skin infection) spores in to your home. Toddlers are often unwary victims. http://www.wildlife-removal.com/muscovyduck.html

There's a place to send expired condoms. Health agencies throughout the caribbean are asking for any condoms...even old ones. I'll share an agency taking them via mail if you're interested. I've sent them dozens!

Good Morning, I completed this bag yesterday as I said.

I keep this on my desktop to enlighten folk...that unless we reduce our population (can you tell I'm a demographer?) we will continue to grow in competition and stress. It's just logical. J.R. Malthus observed, over 200 years ago..."as the quantity (of life per area) increases, the Quality of life decreses. And he said that in 1812. More people = greater competition for resources, jobs, land, space. We're increasing - births minus deaths - at the rate of 158 more per minute. Per minute. 227,000 more per day. A million more every 5 days/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501789/pdf/califmed00143-0080.pdf
