   In shock about Sleaze Puppy. Always very pleasant to me.

   TLC said it best- speak to your friends, don’t just text.

     ???

     Apparently this is on FB as it’s not on the Atlanta hash site?

     I am in shock too.
     Paulie- we heard last night that she had died Monday (rumor is suicide)
     Funeral is Thursday afternoon at the Jewish temple, I don’t know how Jewish people get it all together that quick, but they do.
     too much death this end of December & January.

     Oh wow, unfortunately that’s what I assumed. Hadn’t she moved away from Atlanta (again) within the last year?

     I have learned that we must learn to deal with the increasing number of deaths of friends/relatives as we age, but I agree with you.

       I thought she had moved away as well.

       she had moved up to North GA – I think to Happy Valley? the nudist place?

         now I’m hearing she was miserable up in N GA – sold the house at a big loss and had moved back to ATL?
         the stories………

   Hey Paulie – I think your teeth issues are rubbing off on me- today I have a dull ache in my tooth/teeth/jaw.
   Guess I get to go to the dentist sooner than later now.

     Sorry.

     I’ll be making at least two, probably three, dental visits in February:
     1. semi-annual cleaning
     2. root canal
     3. permanent filling for root canal

   Since weight loss (or striving toward) is a constant topic here, I’m posting a link to an excerpt to the book I’m reading:

   https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/01/weight-loss-essay-tomlinson/579832/

   Here’s the book:

   https://www.amazon.com/Elephant-Room-Smaller-Growing-America/dp/1501111612/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PSX7PG5VCEQ38F8HK9KX

   That man can turn a phrase. One of my favorite lines so far (out of many) is “My grandfather was a one-man country song.” It always slays me when someone can say so much in only a few words. The book definitely has me evaluating my relationship with food and drink.

     “As every fat person knows, there’s no such thing as a cheap buffet—you always pay later, one way or another.” Huh.
     • ITP Lurker says:

       Yes, that line spoke to me as well. I’m fortunate that I cannot abide buffets, but I certainly use other avenues to overindulge. Especially that damn ingrained “clean your plate” mentality that was wrongfully beat in to my head. It does no one any good for me to consume that I don’t really want or need.

       In the book he does the math on his Wendy’s habit, and realized over the years he’s spent $50,000 at that restaurant alone, albeit $10 at a time, so you don’t ever notice…

       He’s not preachy. He’s just real.

     We all know someone who loves eating at buffets. 🙄
     • ITP Lurker says:

       His “diet” plan is pretty simple:

       1. Count the number of calories you intake in a day.

       2. Count the number of calories you expend in a day.

       3. Always make sure that #1 is less than #2 on any given day. So buffets are still fair game if you offset…

       He also says the only thing people lose from “fancy diets” is their money.

         I used to say that one’s body is a “caloric checkbook” and in order to lose weight you needed to spend more calories than you took in. Do people know what checkbooks are these days? 🤔
         • ITP lurker says:

           January 23, 2019 at 2:58 pm

           Yes, if one is of a certain generation.

           And that’s a great analogy/advice.

           I still have my checkbook – it rarely gets used, but I have it.
