One of the things I've always liked about the Permanent Portfolio is the virtually limitless number of PP puns.

I am definitely noticing a much more subdued appetite since starting this new water regimen. I'm also staying disciplined with tracking every bit of my food and daily exercise. So far, so good.
I went on a coffee date last night with a girl who lives about 30 minutes away in the Abbotsford area. A nice girl who seems stable. She has two kids, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I'm also learning that wine is a truly fascinating topic. Thanks for that one, Hal. Matthew Mcconaughey says that he drank as much wine as he wanted when losing weight for his role in Dallas Buyers Club. (He apparently plays a guy dying of HIV/AIDS?)
About to hit the gym.

It reminded me that while I dutifully grabbed a quart of water from the refrigerator to drink after I had my usual huge amount of afternoon popcorn (about three hours ago)...until you reminded me now I'd not yet touched it. I will now start drinking it!

Pugs, your dating/marriage advice always seems rock-solid. You're a veritable guru.MangoMan wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 5:30 pmIf you were 50 and divorced, that would be par for the course (ask me how I know). But at your age, dating single mothers is insanity. They are generally 'provider hunters' and you will always be the lowest of priorities for them. Find yourself another 'stable' girl who doesn't already have kids. This is standard advice/knowledge in the manoshere.
Smithers, was this woman ever married? If not, that's a big red flag that she chose to have not just one, but two kids without a husband and father to be involved with them. (Inconsiderate to the kids.) And if she's divorced, there's a good chance her husband agreed to a divorce because he eventually couldn't stand to be around her any longer.

If I were a young man, I would emigrate to a less misandrist country.
Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
The only way I'd even consider something like that in your situation is if she had been married and her husband had died. (Not at her hand, it goes without saying!)

I had a coworker whose first marriage in his early 30s was a short one. Then he remarried about five years later (33 or so years later, they are still happily married). The second wife came with two young children. Forget what had happened with her and her first husband.
Anyway they had me to their house several times for supper. Once I was there before my now no longer coworker came home from work (our mutual employer had gone out of business). I observed the reaction of the kids. It was like God had just come home! My thoughts were not a bad situation. He basically married into "instant family". He was always someone who liked kids and these two kids absolutely loved and adored him. And, he got to bypass the whole changing diapers stage with children.
Just another view of it....

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
In my younger days, before I developed an appreciation for single malts from Speyside, I liked Southern Comfort Old Fashioneds. That ‘like’ completely disappeared one New Years eve after several OFs and a couple dozen raw oysters, none of which were nearly as good coming back up as they were going down.vnatale wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 10:20 amCurious if there is anyone else here but me that had zero idea what an "Old fashioned" is?MangoMan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 6:54 amIsn't there (gasp!) sugar and other refined carbs (crust) in that?Mark Leavy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 10:42 pmDinner tonight:

DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

Just assumed it was one of the many drinks I've heard of, mostly from movies, that I have never ordered.

Most interesting drink name I ever ran into was an "orgasm". My wife asked me to order one for her on a cruise ship. Had to rehearse how to ask the bartender for it before I stepped up to the bar, especially since she was female. Imagine the possibilities.

Yep. Everclear. Ahhh, yet another night, that if I did now, I would most certainly have ended up in the hospital. Bars, all we looked for were quarter beers. What it was, I never knew.

The only time I remember seeing someone black out in front of my eyes was the result of Everclear. It's an impressive beverage.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Vodka is the ideal hard beverage in my opinion. Unpretentious ethanol, minimal impurities, easy on the breath.
And you can put herbs and caraway seed in it and make aquavit.
Smithers, that looks delicious!
ADDED: I’ve never drunk Everclear, but I would use it as an expensive sanitizer.
