bloat is the norm for whales

some species hibernate for months without eating (like bears) and others who don't have thick fur eat to provide a thick layer of fat (like whale blubber) to keep from freezing... these species need to eat a lot more than they need for daily healthy functioning because of their environments... humans, on the other hand, do most of what they do for pleasure (let's not get into why we kill so much, especially not mentioning the religious commandment against it that so many say they live by)...

i was doing well for three days and then, nudged along by the desire to socialize with friends after softball, i ate the monte cristo (twice, cuz in the u.s. almost every meal purchased in a restaurant contains enough calories for at least two full meals and many contain enough calories for a full day of calories, which is why the majority of the u.s.a is overweight and a sickly large portion are clinically obese)... this makes maintaining a healthy weight much more challenging than it ought to me, but then, cultural norms are the walls we all must climb or hide behind... so i feel bloated again in spite of not eating anything else in the past 30 hours and nothing in the past 18 hours... next time, salad (though outside salads are generally almost as many calories as a lot of other meals, but cultural norms, ya know)...

going out for a walk now...

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
