Thanks, guys, I needed that! It’s time to buck up & stand up. We’re not done as a nation, for cripes sake.
Oh, and by the way, Doc says if I drop forty pounds the heart risk becomes negligible. And this is a barbecue weekend!
Now here’s my contribution to optimism & a brave heart: go to FR thread “why the push for gun control” & read the pings where I demolish the notion that Bammie can abrogate the 2nd Amendment & confiscate our guns (hint: we’re not Australia). I get into a back & forth with our pal Lazmataz who needs some degloomizing too. Simply put, both sides of the debate assert/admit that the American gun culture is here to stay and that there will never be national gun registration without which there is no confiscation.
We’re the America that Hillary hates & fears but lacks the raw Stalinist power to crush. Gun sales continue to soar & there’s naught Dianne Feinstein can do except carp.
So don't eat the bread, chips and potato salad. Lay off the sugar-laden barb-au-que sauce.
Have all the meat and vegetables you want.
I will still have plenty to eat at the barbecue today. Grilled meats with lots of veggies. Buttered brussels sprouts, roasted garlic, mushrooms and hot peppers, etc. I have no problem staying away from the junk food because I fill up on the good stuff. When others are having dessert, I'm taking the dog for a walk.
I was headed for a heart attack as well with my old ways. It is never too late to change to healthier habits.

I'm down 20 pounds. I'm drinking a cup of coffee with heavy cream right now, and I won't be hungry for another 2 hours, if that.
Then, it's bacon, and eggs fried in bacon grease.
No dinner till 8 pm. :)
