The Distract me from 2020s P&CE Thread Part Deux

Daniels is trash. That poster, tho, has taken shots at me over the years and then angrily put me on ignore when I replied in kind. It gave anyone who saw his post the impression that I've been attacking him.

 

So 1000 bottles of baby oil were recovered from Sean Combs property(ies). I have heard it was 1000 bottles of baby oil and KY lotion but also it was 100 Gallons of baby oil. He seems to have also been denialed bail a second time. I owe the people behind the show Empire an apology. I thought the show was too over the top but I guess it wasn't over the top enough.

 

You left out the part about the 784 dildos.

 

Good name for his entourage.

 

I loved 784 Dildos’ early stuff. Definitely penetrated deep into multiple genres. Their more recent efforts resulted in crap, mostly.

 

They got too big headed

 

Be thankful you have the luxury of doing so, and enjoy that as long as it lasts. You must’ve won the genetic lottery in that regard. Most people I know have to limit themselves in one way or another, especially as they age.

 

I'm old now!

I guess I should add that I'm not some kind of glutton. I don't mean that I eat unhealthy food every day every meal. And yeah, I had the metabolism of a shark until I was in my late 30s, so there's that.

 

I could eat pretty much whatever up until a few years ago when I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. Gaining weight has never been an issue for me, and meanwhile my wife gains weight just by looking at food the wrong way. It’s always driven her crazy, and her diet is much healthier than mine.

 

On the other hand I’m trying to put weight on. I was put on the wrong Thyroid meds a while back and lost weight dramatically. Now the meds have stabilized. I’m trying to put weight on. But anything that adds weight really affects my diabetes. I used to bake breads for fun. Now I can’t even have a slice of toast for breakfast or I spend the day trying to get my glucose readings back down.
I look like one of those WWII POWs.
It’s really frustrating.
When filling a personal form in I used to put height 6’ 2”. 200#
now it’s 6’ 0”. 160#.
The height of course is just age.

 

I have that as well, although I haven't really noticed any impact.

Age and gender. People do lose roughly an inch or so by the time they're in their 50s and almost 2 inches total in their 70s (vertebral discs get compacted over time and bone density is also lost), but men also generally lie about their height on their drivers license and other records by adding an inch to what they really are. Forensic anthropologists take both into account when determining living stature from skeletal remains.

 

Speaking of southernisms, what happened to the word "spigot"? I almost never hear it used now, especially in normal conversation.

 

Have you tried sourdough bread? My brother has similar issues, and a good sourdough with butter or peanut butter has very little effect on his glucose compared to even whole wheat bread. This seems to be one of the YMMV things, but it works for him.

 

When I eat certain foods or eat too much of anything at one sitting I get really phlegmy and have to constantly clear my throat, and if it gets really bad my diaphragm gets constricted and it feels like I can’t get a full breath. It’s really annoying but not dangerous, has never affected my oxygen levels. But before it was diagnosed it freaked me out as some of the symptoms were similar to a heart attack, and it was after a visit to the ER that I finally started addressing it.

 

So who had the job of counting those? Must have taken a while. Three hundred Twenty Seven. Three hundred Twenty Eight. Three hundred Twenty Nine.

 

If you had enough space you could lay them out in a grid pattern and just count the sides and do the math. Bonus being that would make a fantastic photo.

 

Your tax dollars at work!

 

I told my guy I was building an art piece representing American patriarchy. He seems to have bought it.

 

Does a doubleheader count as one or two?

 

(San Gennaro Festival, 1976)
"Hey Luigi - I think those people on the 2nd floor are doin it!"

 

Coney Island?

 

That's the feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy which is held every September. I heard tings about Roby slingin' sausage & peppers when this went down:
