Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ok, I have banged it off to Ginger and vw.

Wow, that sentence is real easy to misread.

For dirty-minded people like you, maybe...

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Somebody did something like that on Top Chef (I think - one of the cooking reality shows, in any case), and got raves for it.

I've had something very like that at a cocktail party somewhere it was fucking delicious. (And really, how could it not be?)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

So last Thursday my doctor called with my HbA1c level ( 3 month avg glucose reading). It was, as I suspected not good. Stress - isn't good for it -- and when I am stressed, umm oddly I don't care for myself. and when I spend a lot of time caring for other people -- ( ok DH and The cat) it means there is less time for me. My doctor and I agreed to a retest in 3 months to see if I could do anything.

So starting Friday - I started paying attention. Adding exercise has been the easy part. However. it hasn't been as effective as it used to be. Food has been harder, because minimum carbs seem to be raising my blood sugar dramatically. I know that any improvement will take time, but this is not fun. I work better with a reward.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

With lots of help from Vortex, I have finished my cat food essay (that also applies to dogs). Here is the link [link] .

That reminds me -- I have a friend with a Jack Russell - she claims that feeding her dog an all meat dog has calmed her dog down considerably.

Beth, it sucks that improving your health is so much work and not much fun.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And cats being obligate carnivores, the more meat in the first few ingredients in the list, the better. For dogs, meat is also a good thing, but as I understand it, it is a smidge less urgent.

Pretty much everything I've ever read about feeding pets a vegetarian diet says that dogs are easy -- there are a few prepared vegetarian dog food brands, and a bunch of easy recipes for making your own vegetarian dog food that's got all the nutritional stuff that dogs need -- but that cats are much trickier. There's some nutrient (taurine, I think?) that cats absolutely need that's in practically no vegetarian foods. There are some supplements available, to give to the cat in addition to the vegetarian diet, but I've heard mixed reports about how good those actually are.

Now I can't correct it, because it is funnier that way,

Thanks, WindSparrow. I started to track my food on fitday.com and it takes time to adjust to keeping track of my life.

“Not dead yet!”

Fay's reaction was mine.
