The Coffee House

[smoke665]

Some have suggested that there was some sort of water vapor canopy around the earth prior and it had a green house effect, shielding off radiation, eleiminating disease.

Possibly, but bacteria and viruses would have thrived in that type of environment. That also wouldn't account for why human body parts today simply wear out over time, unless there was an evolution of the genetic clock.

What I dislike is when that someone decides that it will also work the same way for others and becomes very preachy about it.

Have to agree with you here. Had a primary care doctor who used to constantly lecture me about how I "should" be living. I finally changed doctors, he's dead, I'm still going. It is as you stated an individual approach.

Columbus?! You'll be venturing closer to my neck of the woods this summer. Well not that close, but getting closer.

I have no idea, just a thought. I actually did a college paper on it (degrading life spans compared to the Old Testament) but we won't go there, to many sensitive people. I did get 200 points out of 200 on the paper because @limr wasn't my teacher . I forget what kind of paper it was called but it was some type of argumentative essay. I loved my English classes more than any other ones. My last English teacher said I was one of the funniest writers she ever had. She said she saved mine for home after a few glasses of wine, red I think....

Shoot, I was just there a few weeks ago!

If you've never visited the Air Force museum it is highly recommended.
It was back in the 80s when I was there.
It was awesome then.

I think attitude has a lot to do with it, too. <-- edit: related to living longer or shorter. Messed up this post.

We have a nephew and niece in Hamilton, which, IIRC, is getting even closer.

I am planning on attending the OSU Python (programming language) conference; MLW want's to go (back to) Cedar Point theme park in Sandusky.

Change in the travel plans - we are going to wait until tomorrow morning to head out so as much of this storm can get past. I looked at the PA Turnpike traffic cam's and the roads seem to be fine.

@jcdeboever: I don't know what kind of time we'll have (probably darned little) but I'll send out a shout when we get in the area.

You've been a travelin' fool lately, Charlie!

Yeah, but they aren't all pleasure trips; this one is a funeral.

Sorry

I would roll my eyes even harder but I don't want a headache.

Everyone needs to do what is best for him or herself when it comes to health. People are not one size (or diet or medicine or philosophy...) fits all. It's great when someone finds what works for them and they feel their best. What I dislike is when that someone decides that it will also work the same way for others and becomes very preachy about it.

And for the record, I really am not talking about anyone here. I'm speaking generally about people I've met over the years.

Absolutely to the point, yes. Everybody starts and arrives at a different point. We are all complex ecosytems of billions of human cells, colonizied by billions of non-human cells each of the cells in their own state. And every one of us has their own balances and imbalances. And their own fate, see above. So diet is an individual thing, absolutely!

I hope everyone has a good night and a pleasant tomorrow. If tomorrow is as cold as they predict I do not think I'll climb the ladder and do the Marquee tomorrow.
Thursday seems much better idea.
It is not supposed to get above 32 until roughly noon. Good night y'all.

Well... we just officially retired "the Beast", our 200 lb industrial sized 17 year old snow blower. It was a housewarming gift from my stepfather back in 2001 and it's always been too heavy for me to handle on my own. Now that it's old, when it stalls out at the end of the driveway I have to either wrestle it back to the garage to plug it in and restart or get out the 100 ft extension cord and hope not to get electrocuted. It will be going to a lovely farm in the country where it can run free (aka Uncle Jack's place). Bought a new, lightweight stage one Toro that's good for up to 18" of snow. Just finished attaching the handle and chute and it's ready to roll tomorrow morning. Even Princess will be able to use this one. And any big storms - my friend's son is always happy to earn some cash.

Anyone been watching that new show 9-1-1? I'm loving it so far. Connie Britton is always excellent - have been a fan since my all time favorite tv series Friday Night Lights and the guy from Parenthood that's married to Lauren Graham is also great - Peter Krause. Angela Bassett is in it too. She has a time machine I think - she looks fabulous and Mariette Hartlee is playing the Alzheimer's stricken mother of Connie Britton. Good stuff.

i have a "beast" myself. I actually prefer the little single stage (like your toro) i have more for most snowfalls. It is quicker and the rubber blade hitting the pavement scrapes it near clean. It also is more portable (i cant carry the beast i have up onto the deck) and it fits in a car if need be

 

[bribrius]

I did sell my truck and plow, it was time. How soon i replace it with a new one i am in a debate with myself on currently

I've been a staunch Peter Krause fan since "Six Feet Under"(which also introduced me to the amazing Michael C. Hall). Never watched Parenthood, though. Lots of A-list actors in this show (I agree with you completely about the talented Angela Bassett!), but it hasn't won me over quite yet. I *want* to like it, just hedging my bets. I'm hopeful the writers are basically taking their time with character development, which is important if you're planning on more than a couple of seasons. But so far, I have found the writing a little formulaic. I really want to see it get better, crossing my fingers.
