Good morning!!!!

56 years old.
Gotta say looking back best part was when I finally came to Mrs. was there holding my in days I was able to go to the bathroom by myself and take shower.

Did you Roy or another have sour attitude after having heart attack?

I had mine at 57.
Sour attitude? Not about life, only toward the American Heart Association for caving in and not really telling people all the facts and what it really takes to stop and reverse heart disease. They sugar coat the info to please lobbyist. Good for them bad for us. But I did realize that too many people leave it up the government to control their lives and I took it upon myself to educate my self with facts and that I'm responsible for my health or lack of it. My younger brother when he turned 57 said "MY CARDIOLOGIST IS TACKING CARE OF ME" two months later he died never realizing that heart disease is a food born disease. His cardiologist just told him to eat less red meat. Both of them apparently never looked at a comparison between "red" and other meats, dairy and animal products and oils. So sad for his family.

When people say I have a lot of discipline when it comes to eating, I just tell them No I don't I just prefer to eat good food. I don't feel like I'm being punished, unlike them. I feel like I'm punishing myself when I eat bad foods and rewarding myself when I eat good foods, and I need lots of rewards.

Got to go pick berries, time for Cobble #9.

OH< cobbler # 8 was a regret. Brothers step children put cool whip all over it, almost made me cry.

Do you check your blood sugar levels?

I still "count" calories daily including the "empty calories" of the alcohol that I consume. My martini days are numbered; it's part of the process.

I think it takes a lot of discipline to change one's diet and lifestyle and maintain the changes made. I have a lot of respect for those who made those necessary "healthy choices and changes." Don, I am sorry to read about your brother. He like most people live/lived in a state of denial when it comes to diet and health. I do not see helping oneself to healthy food and lifestyle as punishment.

It's not easy.

Buppies, thanks.

After a +2 year gap I am starting testing them 3X/day again. In hindsight I should have taken the hint and started taking my blood sugars around a year ago when my A1C came back at 6.3 instead of the usually 5.5 range. I am making enough changes in diet and lifestyle to warrant daily monitoring. When I get boring again with the blood sugars I may reduce the testing, but not stop testing completely.

Ron- :embarrassed:. That does deserve some time out time. :embarrassed:

I was reading a couple of post yesterday. When a post had a reply from me that had nothing to do with the quoted post. How did that happen? Darn iPad. Luckily I found the mistake while at my PC. Easy to fix with it. Not so easy with the iPad.
Sent myself out to the wood pile.
From now on I am going to blame everything on iPad.

Ron- I blame my wayward fingers. :embarrassed:

Me too. Even if I can get the old lunch platter working again.:laughing:

Seems, at least for me, it痴 very difficult to trim quoted text on the iPad using those little blue handles. Is there a trick I知 missing, Ron?

17 MBP booted into Apple Hardware Test, now running the extended version. Looks like it痴 gonna be a long duration test...

And now the iPad is screwing up single apostrophes, turning them into some kind of cryptic characters.:confused2:

And the little arrow in the lower left hand corner of the reply box won’t zoom, so it’s like typing looking through the slot in a letter box.:mur::banghead:

And now it’s putting up the wrong emoticon! :confused3:

Sure wish they’d update the Apple version of the TBN app!

I wondered where the "47" came from; typo or what? But I didn't say anything 'cause I've made a couple of mistakes myself in my lifetime.:laughing:
