I am enjoying responding to mac's request with his recent insults to me about how useless I am.
I am on strike except for car rides. There is plenty of food available to him, but I am not making anything specifically for him.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought it's sugar, not fat, that causes fatty liver? That's why it happens with high alcohol intake? Like, to get foie gras you stuff the goose with corn, not bacon... IDK IANAD

Maybe—I'm going to switch to Splenda or aspertame with coffee and see if that makes a difference.
Matt, my cholesterol was bad, but already being vegetarian there was little for me to give up. I did the opposite by adding the good stuff, like oatmeal daily, and had quite dramatic improvement in my numbers. Maybe something like that would work better.
I'll give anything a try at this point. I hate oatmeal, but I can choke it down if I have to.

Thrive to spite them
What about cheerios?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The cable guy was just here, upgrading. Hmming and poking at meters and things, I hear, sotto voce, "Hsss, these things don't usually do that."
"You don't usually see this in a large appliance," I said, offhand.
Guy cracked up. "Ghostbusters!" he muttered with a grin.
Day? Made.

Stevia! Much better option. And yeah, I get a lot of my oatmeal in smoothies. Less trouble than cooking in this hot climate.

Also, Matt, it sounds counterintuitive, but try a little coconut oil in your oatmeal--it actually helps lower cholesterol. Might help with the liver, too. We throw in a handful of walnut pieces and dried cranberries and a dash of pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, ginger, clove), and it's pretty good.
I like your design, Gud.
I'll second the 'tornadoes bad! Raises good!' sentiments.
That stage sounds more like an ER triage than a theater, sophia.
