I do merchandising aka bottle jockey. I'm old so I'm not ambitious other than to get to retirement faster but you being young and ambitious who knows. I hear the salespeople can make good money but if that is not your cup of tea then it's probably not for you. Anyway that is our web page, good luck if you decide to inquire.

 

Careful with that stuff, peppermint oil is STRONG.

 

Listen to him, kids.

He comes from an era when witch hazel would cure what ails ya.

 

Don't forget Castor Oil. That will flush you out good.

 

Maybe somone dan answer this: why is it after the Padres game today, I'm still watching post game stuff hours after the game. A bit on Puig, one on Kershaw, a preview on the coming series with us, a dog rescue thing with the players...etc.
So why is it after a Dodger game ends, the broadcast is over in a nano second...is it the Dodgers who dictate that, or is it the package? Why some and not others?

 

i thought i had commented on this, weird
but my good buddies brother does this job really well and travels the world doing it

 

I've known a few who live by Rube's (rather arcane) set of all natural examples.. some prosper more than others. I personally cannot do the vegan march. Not wired for it.

Best tip to offer: I've known others who have benefited simply by increasing the probiotics (one of Rube's early points) You could easily try adding Greek yogurt mixed with whole granola to your AM diet and see if it helps. My wife avoids yogurt and suffers bowel issues accordingly. I'm fortunately blessed with a cast iron gut (good thing too with all my damned Asian travel) but have noticed that my body is much happier if I eat yogurt 3-5 times a week. Yes on whole foods, avoid processed food where you can. As if that were as possible. Whole wheat flour is far from whole and is actually pretty foul for your system. You can eat whole grains if you will but they take some getting used to. Whole fruit is bueno.

Whole anything like cavemen ate is the core idea.

I also adhere to the long scorned omnivore perspective and will eat meats grilled with fresh steamed/grilled veggies. Including farm raised chicken and limited lean pork or fish. Grilled fish be goodness. We are top of the food chain animals and supposed to eat everything. But the processed food and extra grease hidden everywhere can do lots of damage if not checked. Which somewhat bans all snack food.. most of which shouldn't even be called food.

And stress matters too, though my Kaiser doc is paid to have tunnel vision and ignore this factor.

Try little things one or two at a time and see if anything helps prior to your next Dr. visit.


Good luck.

 

Pikey.

 

Cannibalism is cool...pork tastes great.Best tasting of all meat. I'm all for it...in fact, making a recipe later on with pork. I'll rename it "pork Lechter", in honor of the cannibal thing.
Can't eat anything anymore...no cunnilingus, either. Gives you throat or esophageal cancer.

Don't drink.
Don't smoke.
Don't you mess around with coke.
Adam Ant.
Plant matter (vegetables) give off the slight hint of dung...I guess it's the fertilizer. So whatever we eat, I guess we are full of shit... no matter what.

Who used human fecal matter as a fertilizer in his personal garden.
He had no sense of smell.
He also had no visitors.

 

@rube I'm obviously not as obsessed about pork as some but you're fairly accurate that they are disposal machines who will eat damned near anything.

So?

So do many creatures that we readily tolerate/consume. Chickens scratch shit out of dirt that they've just peed in. Unless you're buying cage raised hens but they have far worse issues for your health.

Gotta have my bacon once or twice a month. It's a cretin thing I guess. I know it's not good for me but I simply do not care.
Not to mention my affection for pork chops and apple sauce... where did that come from? Dunno but its heaven how they balance each other. I cook extremely lean pork loin stripped of all fat, seared until light brown and then baked with a bunch of sliced apples. Holy cow is it a treat!!

Of the meats I eat pork is probably lowest in frequency so I don't sweat the small stuff.

Of course I don't sweat the small stuff in general.

You just can't when you're focused on big picture stuff or nothing gets done at all. You can't let fear (of whatever) run/ruin your game.

 

@Bluezoo

Love the Adam Ant reference!! See you're not that old. Oh wait... the kids don't know who Adam Ant is you say?

"You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside"
... or not.

I never trust ANYONE who claims to be free of vices. It means that they are sick in the head, likely from fear or simplistic obedience.

Both of which are sicknesses

Great song reference!!

 

Yeah, I used to sing it to my kid, actually..fooling around, but adding a few things so that he would get the message when he went out, as he got older. At least, subliminally.
That was a good song, I thought, with a good video.
Old as I am...primordial really...I liked Stray Cats, too.
Oh, and Eddie Cantor...


Just kidding.
