TeleTubbies “R” Us. Can’t argue with that, now ya’ll eat your just eggs and impossible sausage and go back to sleep.
I’m sure it’s good for you….is your life insurance paid to date? Just checkin’…..
The automatic Donut 🍩 machine wasn’t invented until 1920.
If you or someone you love has weight issues, the “Obesity Code” by Dr. Jason Fung presents a good strategy.
spoiler: low carb and eat less often – processed food has carbs built in
I made easy low carb dietary changes due to my Dr. Saying I was pre-diabetic (aren’t we all….. you’re either diabetic or not). I lost 30 lbs over the next couple of months. Next Dr. visit I’m asked what am I eating as my blood work was flawless. Response……no sugar, very few carbs (potatoes, pasta, cereal)… lots of red meat, chicken, pork, eggs, cheese, veggies and fruit. The look on his face was priceless. BTW – I do have very much respect for him. Great guy!
PS- quick oats with real Irish butter, cinnamon, vanilla and some maple syrup….. tastes and smells like french toast! Yummy! Slow carbs too. 😉
It works. I had the same results with my blood work. And the same response, except I had already argued with these know-it-all experts beforehand, so they just shut their yaps and walked off after the results. For some reason almost nobody doing clinical nutrition knows the first thing about biochemistry. It is baffling.
“They” don’t make a dime off of healthy people.
Vaxx shots work better on morbid obesity.
how many fat girls do you see in that crowd?
Tampa, Thanks for that. Reminded me of many shows at Pine Knob (outside of Detroit) in the mid 70’s as well as a way of life that is gone. Working a job in retail, hustling some side labor, still me and my (working class all) friends could afford concert tickets, beer, cheap weed, beater cars, rent, etc. Those days are gone.
Pine Knob was great fun. They renamed it a couple of times, but it will always be Pine Knob to the old timers.
Yup…now DTE Theatre…the electrical energy provider in the area. Corporate naming rights $$$.
Sign of the times, repeated in major cities across the country. Greed? No, wip. Business sense.
Comerica Park. (bank) Ford Field. (autos) Cobo Hall and Arena is now TCF Financial Center.
I saw my first concert at Cobo Arena n 1975 with a $6.00 ticket in tier B, 30 degrees from stage.
KISS. The 70’s music is still the best. Classic Rock produced by the most creative talents,
too many to really start listing here.
Little Ceasar’s Arena is understandable. Pizza king Mike Illitch poured his profits back into the city, even before he bought the Red Wings when they skated in Joe Louis Arena, so, the city
should give that team owner / corporation a tax break. Money goes where it’s treated best.
Ditto, for Dan Gilbert and Quicken Loans, that transferred HQ downtown to Campus Martius.
Piston’s owner Bill Davidson didn’t need it, when the Palace was built for the Pistons up I75, halfway to Pine Knob in Auburn Hills. Gave Pine Knob competition, for concert promotions.
He owned Guardian Glass, and was a shrewd (((businessman))).
Pine Knob ski area is still right alongside the concert venue.
Best times of mine at Pine Knob were seeing the J. Geils Band, circa 1978-’88, who adopted Detroit audiences as their 2nd home. We used to buy 20 tickets to sit on the hill, get there early, stake out a claim of ground, with 1/4 barrel pony kegs on a lawn blanket in each corner of our area. In those good old days, you could wheel coolers in to the Knob, with all your own beverages.
Drawback to the hill was, if it rained, it was a muddy comedy show. But not in the pavillion, underneath the raftered roof where Seger’s Silver Bullet Band’s Alto Reed would hang with a harness when spotlighted for a sax solo, typically during Turn The Page. Boston knows this.
Can no longer bring in your own drinks anywhere. Not any more.
So, maybe the corporate greed has gone a little too far. Beers are $12 now. Shitty Bud Light.
Airliner mini liquors can be snuck in, and mixed with a pop from their vending counter discreetly.
About the only thing that’s improved w/ DTE / Pine Knob is, they finally put in enough rest rooms.
Can’t tell you how many times the waiting line for the chicks was always so long, a few of the desperate ones would cut the line to the men’s room to barge into one of the stalls there, to tap a kidney.
Ganja was everywhere back then. Still is now, to a lesser extent.
Another frequent sighting was to see spaced out stoners just wandering around, or crashed / passed out at seemingly every other rock concert attended.
This was a good memory revisit; Thanks.
Some guy put together a pictorial video of many of the old east side & greater Detroit landmarks and entertainment venues and characters, set to the tune of Al Stewart’s “Time Passages”
It’s a good trip down memory lane, set to a fitting, good song. Search You Tube, if interested.
Will search. I remember the close of JLA. Probies ashes were scattered. Lol yes at Pine Knob on the hill put you closest to the seats, and closest to what trickles down to the bottom of the hill. Fun memories. Thank you.
Linda is quite fat now.
Linda is quite ill now too. She has a form of incurable parkinson’s disease called progressive supranuclear palsy,..
What have they done?!
I once had to travel regularly for work through Amish populated areas, and the most notable difference between them and the ‘english’ (us) in the general population was not the clothing or horse and buggy transport,
It was how trim, fit and healthy the Amish people are compared to the commercial ‘farmer’s/landowners growing sterile GMO branded crops.
I do not say this as an insult to anyone or out of hostility, but out of sorrow for what had been lost in such a short period of betrayal.. but the myth of the hard laboring commercial farmer in my experience gives way to a reality that across the US Midwest the rate of extreme obesity among rural farm folk is off the charts.
Excepting the Amish / Mennonites, the social fabric is vanished in most of these decaying rural towns, exercise is absent and high fructose corn infuses every food product foisted on the unwary.
Want to know why this is… Because the Amish grow and cook their own foods and are unafraid to labour without a lot of machinery.
Modern farmers… grow things like lentils, birdseed, soy and maize. Very few grow, preserve and cook their own foods. They run to costco for everything, sit in a tractor sipping soi lattes’ and do little unless machinery is involved. In the pasture are a few show horses, for show… seldom rode.
How do I know… Extended family still farms near the N Battleford area and all the farmers around there farm pretty mush the same way. When I asked where the chickens were, fresh eggs?? I got, oh brian, we don’t farm like mom’n dad did. We get everything from costco… Almost expected the ” Brought to you by Carls Jr and BRAWNDO… plants crave it…”
I noticed the same creeping over the land going back to when I was a kid. It is a separate revival movement now where people are trying to learn where it all came from. I thought I was revolutionary when I decided there must be a way to make pumpkin pie without a can. From there we just keep asking questions and learning things and I pray we keep going. Our end goal is producing most of our own food.
Youtube is full of exceptions to those rules and I was touring ranches in the 90s where tradition still held, but my near kin were all like the farmers you describe. You would find stuff in the fridge like Country Crock or I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Butter.
Doing the manual labor doesn’t seem to be the norm. Hiring people and working other jobs seems to be the norm in the rural sphere. I think that is changing some. Reversion to the mean is no surprise, though.
When you aren’t going to prosecute anyone, why be fit enough to catch them?
I don’t see any ‘diversity’ in that pic. Could also be that..
Brought to you by Pfizer.
I had almost forgotten. There were almost no fat people in the whole town and the few exceptions were always very poor people. That changed drastically before I even hit puberty. It took me a long time to finally be a fatass and then have to lose it again. It is easy to forget how good it feels, but also to not appreciate how much more everything hurts with the weight. Everything hurts bad enough without the weight.
Processed crap/shit slow poison food, too much sugar, too many carbs, no physical work/exercise.
That is the soft, spoiled, plump, fat, obese American Pillsbury Dough Boy/Girl reality simplified.
Men with chicken arms, no chests…and overweight women with asses like watermelons, both who look like a sack of doorknobs.
I go back and forth with just a low carb clean healthy diet, to Keto, to the Carnivore diet, and mix in quarterly fasting to weigh whatever I want to at the low end…or really low end for my build.
It’s not complicated…past your genes, and getting out of the chair to work (in the sun as much as possible) or at least exercise, the biggest factor is what you put into the hole under your nose.
The masses are lost in many ways…nutritionally as I described above, but also need to educate themselves on healthy supplementation and detox…seeing how they are being poisoned in so many ways.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made…revel in it!
mark,
i am on here so little nowadays that i keep forgetting to tell you this–
lots of guys on tbp are believers in colloidal silver but you’re one of the biggest proponents of cs–
many health “authorities” diss cs but just b4 i came down w/covid over labor day weekend i was cleaning out the trailer that my tenant who died of covid had lived in–her b.friend had never thrown away her things so everything that wasn’t valuable was left behind when he moved out–
i found a set of papers from the hospital that advocated 4 cs as a treatment–
weirdly,it did not mention covid on the paper,though as far as i know that is all she was treated for–
the hospital she was in was an advent health systems hospital,which is very big in florida,not sure if they are nationwide–
Tampa,
Yep…I’m an advocate for Colloidal Silver because long before Covid it cured me of 25 years of constant (worsening as I aged) upper respiratory infections/coughs that would last four to six weeks…and I started to get them twice a year. Doctors and a host of treatments were completely useless.
Stumbled across Colloidal Silver on the internet, did a deep dive investigation, tried it…didn’t have an upper respiratory infection/cough or a cold for seven years.
Then I used it on my Shingles (externally and internally) and it cut the pain and length of the breakout by about 60% to 70%.
Forget all the Blueman hysteria…that is just Big Pharma scaring the masses off an inexpensive treatment for a host of conditions and ill health.
Then I used Colloidal Silver successfully on a fungus ear infection…then on an infected tick bite (on my ball sack no less…yikes!).
Here is the best book on it of the three I have and have read.
Once I got into the Prepper lifestyle I also realized it is highly recommended by many experienced Preppers who gravitated to it searching for prevention and treatment at home. As I am avoiding the VA and my doctors trying to Jab me with the Depop needle I keep a good supply at home.
Diseases Colloidal Silver Is Used For:
Because no known disease causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver, colloidal silver is effective against more than 650 different disease causing pathogens. This has clinical testing that back up that number.
Since there is not enough room to list all the diseases against which it has been used successfully, here is a tiny sample;
• acne
• allergies
• appendicitis
• arthritis
• blood parasites
• bubonic plague
• burns – colloidal silver is one of the few treatments that can keep severe burn patients alive
• Cancers of all kinds
• cholera
• conjunctivitis
• hay fever
• herpes
• leprosy
• leukemia
• lupus
• Lyme disease
• malaria
• meningitis
• parasitic infections both viral and fungal
• pneumonia
• rheumatism
• ringworm,
• scarlet fever
• septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat
• Sexually transmitted diseases including gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis
• shingles
• staph infections
• strep infections
• toxemia,
• trench foot,
• all forms of viruses,
• warts
• and stomach ulcer.
In addition it also has veterinary uses such as canine parvo virus.
You’ll also find it very handy in the garden and bathroom since it can be used against bacterial, fungal and viral attacks on plants and humans. Spray diluted colloidal Silver on plant leaves, and add to soil water. Colloidal Silver gets quickly to the body cells. Keep a spray bottle of it in the bathroom for feet, hands & face.
