When a person is deceased, how do you describe/discuss the event?
Extra credit if you explain our answer.

A couple of months ago I might have said Dolly's death, like anyone's whose career I admire, would sting a bit. But after JCD died, Dolly barely registers.

YEEEEESSS!!! This has been my mantra for DECADES! I counsel people to NEVER forbid a food. Just LIMIT your consumption. You can have two reasonably sized bites of ANYTHING... but only once a day. No doubling up. And there's no need to double up, because you can treat yourself to two bites, of ANYTHING, again TOMORROW!

2026-08-22 17:37:06 UTC

I appreciate @npub12y3…05cn @npub19f6…n48s, @npub145e…kjzl and ESPECIALLY @npub1fmx…wp74 for rushing in to fill the chasm left by the devastating death of JCD. I've been a listener, then a producer, then an active participant in this amazing community for too long to just let it float away. I'm prepared to welcome the evolution.
Also... Should any of you ever require or desire a woman's perspective, there are a few Dames who would love to contribute. ;) Cheers and Smooches!

I listened to the show... I guess that was my source. They also celebrated his birthdays every year, and there was not an 80th.

I wouldn't do anything like that to my body because I knew someone who had varicose veins lasered and decades later she eventually had toes amputated because it turns out you need veins for circulation to your extremities.

No. I have a decent recipe for an almond flour keto bread, but, no, I don't eat traditional bread, pasta, pastries, etc.
There are lots of recipes and products nowadays that you can sustitute for all the high carb stuff, and some are quite tasty. It's not hard once you get the hang of it. I don't even miss starchy foods anymore.

That's pretty close to what I do! I personally cook his chicken though, to make sure it isn't overly seasoned, and he gets the livers, which is his favorite part. He also gets a nice meaty beef bone from every steak I grill. Our little Pom eats better than many children in this country!

This is really close to my basic recipe except I drizzle the oil. You can go nuts with this one... cracked black pepper, basil and parm, cumin and chili powder, dill... you can even go with cinnamon and extra sugar for Elvis sammiches (peanut butter, banana, bacon, and mayo). SO much better than store stuff!
And yes, extra light is quite neutral, but sometimes the flavor of EVOO is actually a bonus. It's great with balsamic vinegar instead of white!

You raise a very good point. I think I pay significantly less to feed my Pomeranian home-cooked food. But you have to consider things like fuel cost to cook and wash up, and labor, which has material value.
I may be ahead on the litter... I bought a big astroturf mat that fits nicely in a corner of our deck (so we don't have to go for walkies in the rain and snow) a year ago and paid 90 bucks. It will last for probably a couple more years.

Organ meats used to be inexpensive too. Now chicken livers are nearly as much by weight as whole chickens! 😬
Fortunately for my dog, he's only about 10 pounds, so I can afford to feed him real food. (Besides, I'm an empty nester and I welcome the opportunity to cook!) But even if I didn't, I'll bet dog food is also stupidly spendy, just not as high quality.

No, you misunderstand. When I say "pure sugars", I'm probably being imprecise. I mean sugars that are intrinsic in fruits. or even the sugar that occurs in honey or real maple syrup. Sucrose, glucose and non-concentrated fructose. My body can process those FAR better than I can handle starches. But if I mixed the two together, as in COOKIES (AAAAH!) that would be a Toll House Cookie recipe for disaster!

Every person's body is different, so take with a grain of salt, but my body is less demon-possessed with some carbs than with others. Pure sugars, not so bad. Starches are WAY more addictive. Oats and corn are the least problematic. Then potatoes, with waxy potatoes being less demonic than mealy potatoes. Rice is really addictive, but brown less than white. And wheat? Might as well put a Wonder Bread wrapper on my tombstone. Assuming I can fit in a casket.

I sure get that! I try to approximate the taco flavor by turning them "inside out" with a lettuce wrap... but it's never the same.
Keto comes with a lot of compromises. I stick to it, because I have learned that with carbs I am like an alcoholic and can't be satisfied with a reasonable serving. It kicks off insane cravings! Best to just avoid that.
It seems like you can have taco or two without feeling the carb demon, and I tip my sombrero to you!
