The Ka-Tet Cantina 3

[cat in a bag]

I have a casual aquaintance doing the keto thing. I feel sorry for her when we are at a get together and she is just sipping on her water constantly.

It sounds dangerous to me, too. At the very least, it cannot be good for a person's thyroid. It sounds to me like it could really throw thyroid function off. And as someone who has zero natural thyroid function, that is not a problem I would wish on anyone.

I had dreamt last night i was watching out the window and astronauts were jumping off the moon in white parachutes and were landing on the earth, so this just extraordinarily reminded me.

My friend drinks some powdered drink that’s incredibly expensive.

I drink beer does that count?

I will! Also, on the phone, when she says keto, it always sounds like “Cheeto.” So I hear, “This Cheeto diet is helping me sleep so much better. I’ve lost 7 pounds on Cheeto,” etc.

One of my fiancées friends is like that with Plexus, some sort of miracle drink powder. Apparently it does everything from help you lose massive amounts of weight, cleans your carpet, and possible cures Ebola.......I’m not sure if she’s plugging the plexus or joining a cult when she’s talking. I know one thing it’s annoying as hell.

Beer always counts!

I hope mine improves - Josh went out to a friend's parent's apartment with some booze yesterday (he got a call after I left for my afternoon shift)

- he was lured there by the unsavory 17 year old (who now has a new much older boyfriend).

When he got there, Pam comes out of the bathroom - it was an ambush! Sam (the 17 year old who lives in a group home) decided he and Pam should get back together (Josh has no interest in Pam at all - they're just coworkers).

This was at Sam's parent's apartment where apparently Mom was already drunk and left; Dad was sleeping, so the four of them had a drinking party.

Josh was not home when I got home around 10 p.m. so I finally tracked him down to a Tim Hortons, then went there to pick him up. He is now grounded

Oh no Neesy! Is this Josh's first offense? He's a sweet kid - I think he fell in with the wrong kids. But you know your boy better than anyone - and you know what it takes to get him back on the straight road. Parenting is hard stuff - but they're so cute when they're little. (((Neesy)))

What home improvement projects you and Ogre got going? I need a fix since I have none of my own.

You're not DIYing at the moment? Come help down here! I think it's 2 years now, but we're still on the master bathroom! Scraping ceilings now - it's a horrible project. Relatively easy if you like being on a ladder scraping, sanding, painting, while your arms turn to jello - and something weird happens to my feet on a ladder. The Ogre did the toilet room ceiling, and then didn't pay attention to the color he was painting - should have been white, but it's the oh so light blue that I painted the bedroom last year...hahaha...AND it's bumpy. I'm just letting it go for now. After the ceiling is done, we need vanities and then we can be done at least. It is beautiful though. I'm just ready to be done. Wood floors downstairs coming soon!

This is a proud, proud day. You keep fighting the good fight, for both of us!

I've got this friend who thinks a keto diet is the answer to everything. I'm ready to kill her right now so when you see the story on the news...

Oh God - I had a co-worker once on that diet. She was the same one who did "boopies" with the bathroom door open - at work!!. She had those pee strips to test where she was on her ketosis journey and left them in there on the counter so we would all know. It sounds pretty unhealthy.

That's nasty, disgraceful, and hilarious, all at once. I know this personality-type: borderline sociopath, shameless, they often tell inappropriate jokes or stories in mixed company, and the workspace is basically their space (poaching fridge, leaving messes everywhere). It can be infuriating, actually.

 

[not_nadine]

I've never had lunches taken - but was warned about it. Wot? Someone will take your lunch? Told rules. (amtrak) never ever bring lunchmeat in. Assume someone will eat it.
Guard your sandwich.

I was naive. Who would do such a thing? Really? Serious? Yep they do. EI!

If it’s that old low carb, high fat and protein fad then it’s not something anyone can stick with in the long run.
I think eating more fresh vegetables and fruit on top of a healthy balanced diet might be the better way to go.

Yes - that's her! She was funny and loud, but you never wanted to get stuck sitting at her table at the Christmas party. Way too loud and inappropriate. Oh the things she said. Her poor husband.

Wot? took your lunch meat? We have rules too - if you don't put your name on it, it's free game.
A very long time ago I had a cheeseball in the fridge. I was looking forward to cheeseball and Ritz and when I got it out to cut a piece...there were teeth marks in it. Someone actually took a bite out of my cheeseball!

No, I never brought lunchmeat in. Just took it as a warning.

 

[not_nadine]

Who takes a bite out of a cheeseball? I am going to have dreams.
Cheeseballs are kind of a special sacred thing. With nuts and stuff.
Feel bad when I see one - let someone else break it, with a cheese knife.

As long as it’s not powdered beer!
